    Wonderful history text for upper elementary and middle school
    Review by Yolonda
    After World’s Story 1, we were so excited to move on to World’s Story 2. At first, I was a little intimidated by the longer chapters, once you get going, you do not even realize the difference in length between the two books. I love how when explaining history O’Dell brings in a Biblical worldview. She also explains history in a way that isn’t dry like many history texts, she is able to present the facts while keeping the kids engaged.
    Loved this History
    Review by Brandi
    Very informative and I learned a lot myself alongside my child.
    Good curriculum
    Review by Linda
    We really enjoy this curriculum and the way it is taught with stories but I do wish it had a video component.
    Blend
    Review by Lara
    I did not like this curriculum. For someone who loves history, it just lacks details, which is really what is the most exciting part of history. It is borderline facts mainly, with a little more info. I wish it had more recommendations of books for each chapter. The dig deeper was not very interesting to my kids and it required too much digging on my part, and a preview of websites. Book recommendations would have been better.
    I read this with 2 of my kids, one who loves history, and the other one who could care less (13 and 15), and none was excited about picking up the book.
    I guess this is just not our style.
    Great history curriculum!
    Review by Mary
    We love this curriculum and the author's podcast. It's history from a biblical perspective and it's not a boring textbook. I can use it alongside our CC memory work.
    Excellent
    Review by Donna
    Our favorite series
    Great Spine for History
    Review by Angela
    This is a great resource and good to use as a whole curriculum or as a stand-alone resource.
    Good information, but my son couldn't finish the book
    Review by AJ
    This book had so much great information, but the chapter layouts were a little hard to follow for my son. They kind of bounced on the timeline, and for a kiddo that has a hard time focusing, it made it nearly impossible for him. We bought the digital version to have it read it to him, and I even tried to put it all into weekly PowerPoints (which was hours of work for me every weekend), however, for the information he actually understanding compared to the time spent, we ended up not finishing. He really enjoyed medieval night though, it was such a fun idea and very hands on!
    Great History Book.
    Review by Lena
    My son loves history. He loved the action aspects of the book especially when there were lessons about battles. His favorite lesson was the rise and fall of Rome. I love that he can open and go on his own because he is a very independent learner and prefers to do school without my help, *sigh. This is has been a great series so far and we are looking forward to book 3!
    Can't get enough
    Review by Kam
    I've never really found World History as interesting as US History but I've come to learn that anything Angela O'dell writes is excellent...this is no different. Absolutely fantastic.
