In class we are reading the American novel “Riding Freedom”, by Pam Muñoz Ryan. The novel’s genre is historical fiction, which means that while many of the characters and events in the book are non-fiction, or true, other characters and details have been invented by the author to help make the book more interesting, make sense better, or to fill in gaps in history. The book relates to our current study of Government and Elections as the central character, Charley, is believed to be the first woman to vote in a U.S. Presidential election – although officials didn’t know that at the time!
When we have finished we will write a review to post on our Books page.
The Wordle below was made using a discussion guide for “Riding Freedom” on the U.S. Scholastic website.
