Selected for the Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People List In 1964, Daniel Ellsberg was a U.S. government analyst, helping to plan a war in Vietnam. It was the height of the Cold War, and the government would do anything to stop the spread of communism--with or without the consent of the American people. As the fighting in Vietnam escalated, Ellsberg turned against the war. He had access a top-secret government report known as the Pentagon Papers, and he knew it could blow the lid off of years of government lies. But did he have the right to expose decades of presidential secrets? And what would happen to him if he did it? A lively book that interrogates the meanings of patriotism, freedom, and integrity, the National Book Award finalist Most Dangerous further establishes Steve Sheinkin--author of Newbery Honor book Bomb as a leader in children's nonfiction. This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum. "Gripping."--New York Times Book Review
"A master of fast-paced histories... this] is Sheinkin's most compelling one yet. "--Washington Post Also by Steve Sheinkin: Bomb: The Race to Build--and Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon

Excellent Read. Highly recommend.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I can't believe how much I loved this book. It was so well written, and it kept me interested to the very last page. I couldn't put it down. If you're looking for a coming-of-age book with a lot of twists and turns and some feminism thrown in this book is for you it gave me a lot to think about.
Way to go Deborah Curtis on your first novel. I hope you'll be publishing more.

not too shabby
Format: Kindle
This book reminds me of a Jane Austin novel. She writes like Jane Austin. The author did a good job with realism, life is painful and there was a plethora of that in this book. I do like how it ended even though I’m not a huge fan of Lilys choices. I’m not sure she deserved her ending, she reconciled one tragedy in her life but several others are still waiting for her to take responsibility for. It was worth the read.

You'll want to talk about this read!
Format: Hardcover
Read this novel when it first came out and still thinking and talking about it. Great read for a book club --- each reader may have different take away topics - young love, sisterhood, friendship, forgiveness, motherhood. I just bought several copies to give to some powerhouse women. Keep writing D Curtis. Your Fan.

I was skeptical, but for me, this one works.
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I am usually skeptical of these "improve-your-whatever-with-this" products. But much to my surprise, for me this one lives up to the hype. After about a week, there was as noticeable improvement in my overall memory, especially older memories. My recall is faster, I retain things longer, and learn new things more quickly. As a side benefit, I am also now able to quickly find alternative solutions to everyday problems that come up.

GREAT product!! No complaints at all!
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
So I got this product as an experiment. I don’t like taking prescriptions - but that is just me. I have the most boring job on the planet. And it’s all I can do to make it just through the morning without falling asleep. when I saw this product, I decided to give it a try. I am totally and completely shocked how well this works. It doesn’t make me jittery at all. It just makes me feel alive and alert and ready to roll. And I can focus on the monotonous tasks at my job. When I do take them, I have to take them in the morning. they do last all day - again - this is for me. but I found when I took them in the afternoon, I was still wide awake at 1:00am. Which put a damper on my trying to drag myself out of bed and to work at the most boring job ever.
