History - Sixth Grade 

HISTORY- 1800

by Susan Campbell Bartoletti (Author) ISBN: 0618002715.

Growing Up in Coal Country
by Susan Campbell Bartoletti (Author)  ISBN: 0395979145.  
Reading Level: Ages 9-12. 

Before the child labor laws boys worked as coal miners under harsh conditions.  It talks about the 1885 law that said that boys needed to be at least 12 to work in the coal mines and goes on to tell how people got around the laws.  An excellent depiction of nineteenth and twentieth century exploitation of children.
  Blizzard: The Storm That Changed America
by Jim Murphy ISBN: 0590673092.  Reading Level: Ages 9-12

From Amazon:  On March 10, 1888, the weather on the eastern coast of the U.S. was so pleasant that families were picnicking. By Monday morning, however, a huge, destructive blizzard--actually two storms--stretched from Delaware north to Maine and as far west as the Mississippi River. New York City had 21 inches of drifting snow; Troy, New York, was blanketed under 55 inches.  This is the story of how it changed America.

Anne Frank's diaries have always been among the most moving and eloquent documents of the Holocaust.
