Hoist the drawbridge and ready the cannons! Even reluctant readers will storm the bookshelves for this high-interest topic where history, math, and magic intersect. This innovative text goes far beyond the familiar medieval European architecture and enhances readers global awareness through Celtic fortified settlements, Roman warrior towns, massive Japanese structures, and other architectural marvels. Fantastic photographs and a helpful map will visually enrich the readers journey, and they will be thrilled to build their own paper castles in a concluding engineering activity section. |
