BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Sandler introduces us to the photographers and the photographs of the Great Depression. Sponsored by the Farm Security Administration, these photos now reside in the Library of Congress. As fascinating as the book is, it would only be useful if teachers in your school teach the topic and share the book. I was riveted.
