Huey, Lois Miner The Search for El Dorado (Totally True
Adventures), 92 pages. Random
House , 2016. $4.99. Content: G. NONFICTION
This book covers at ton of information, starting with the
ancient story which may have started the legend of El Dorado and continuing into the many searchers from Columbus, to Spanish explorer’s, to Sir Walter
Raleigh, an d many others. While all failed, the book focuses on how these many
searches led to discovery, trickery, danger, gold rushes, poor treatment of natives, and more.
I was excited to read this book, but was overwhelmed by it, despite
its short length. It was so stuffed with information that spanned quite a bit
of time I think students reader’s would either be bored or confused. The illustrations are helpful and the cover
is very appealing.
