Ain't Nothing But a Man: My Quest to Find the Real John Henry by Marc Aronson, Scott Reynolds Nelson

4.0

I really liked the way this nonfiction book read like a story. I can see many classroom applications. It has aspects of mystery, history, music, and more. At times I almost found it too informal. This would be great inspiration for anyone interested in history, and teaches a lesson of persistence. The extra material at the end does an excellent job of modeling resources and validating information.
