I'm taking History 11, and my teacher allows us to turn in book reviews for extra credit. The only thing is that they have to correspond to history (preferably US) until 1877 and they can't be the hackneyed classic titles out there like Anne Frank, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Huck Finn, etc. Help me out please!

How about Little Women and Little Men, both by Louisa May Alcott. Everybody's read Little Women, but not many bother to read the other one. I thought it was better in some ways.
