1919 The Year That Changed America

This was interesting and engaging! I'm still a little surprised at its National Book Award win, but, sure? It does a great job of connecting present-day America back to specific events in 1919 that were landmarks for labor, civil rights, racial justice, etc.

I do wish publishers would stop making nonfiction books aimed at teens so physically large; they're bulky and feel like a textbook, it's hard to convince teens to check them out for pleasure reading. It also could have used more specific endnotes for my tastes but overall, a solid read.
