Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. Product DescriptionYoure one of millions of immigrants leaving your home in the early 1900s to move to the United States. Youre searching for a better life. Ellis Island, near New York City, is your first stop in your search for opportunity and freedom. Officials on the island have been processing immigrants there for decades, but not everyone gets through. If you pass the tests, youre on your way to a new life in the United States. If you dont, you may find yourself being sent back to your homeland. What path will you take? Will you: Be a Jewish youth leaving the violence of Russia in hopes of a better life in America? Be an Italian teen who lands at Ellis Island during World War I? A German immigrant who faces deportation? Everything in this book happened to real people. And YOU CHOOSE what you do next. The choices you make could lead you to opportunity, to wealth, to poverty, or even to death.From BooklistHistory can take many paths and these entries in the You Choose: History series prove just that. After a brief introduction to the time period, the books use a Choose Your Own Adventure-style format that follows three fictional young people through historical ups and downs-including, sometimes, death. Complemented by archival photographs and reproductions, the brisk text highlights key events, people, and places. Ellis Island looks at discrimination and how immigrants were processed through a Russian Jewish girl in the early 1900s, an Italian boy during WWI, and a German immigrant facing deportation after WWI. Each title concludes with a chapter about the time periods legacy and extensive back matter to encourage further exploration. Grades 3-6. --Angela LeeperReviewAuthor and history buff, Michael Burgan writes in a format that is easy for readers to comprehend, while at the same time engaging them and keeping the topic fascinating at all times. . . .When I was in elementary school, I dreaded history lessons because they were incredibly boring! It was pure rote memorization and not at all engaging. In contrast, the interactive nature of Ellis Island is more like a real life adventure - both happy and sad - that teaches without clobbering students over the head with straight facts. Where was this book when I was growing up?-- "Smart Books for Smart Kids blog"History can take many paths and these entries in the You Choose: History series prove just that. After a brief introduction to the time period, the books use a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style format that follows three fictional young people through historical ups and downs - including, sometimes, death. Complemented by archival photographs and reproductions, the brisk text highlights key events, people, and places. . . .Each title concludes with a chapter about the time period's legacy and extensive back matter to encourage further exploration.-- "Booklist"Most choose-your-path books I find to be very impersonal. Because everything is written in second person, it is hard to relate to the characters. However, this book overcomes this and I can connect very well with the character's thoughts and emotions. . . .I also liked that there were writing prompts and resources to learn more and a time line of the island in the back of the book. I gave this book five stars for an adventure that challenged the reader's decision-making and was both educational and entertaining.-- "San Francisco Book Review"Spring 2014; Page 83 The famous photograph of an immigrant family on the deck of a ship looking at the Statue of Liberty decorates the cover of Ellis Island: An Interactive History Adventure. That one iconic image of the anonymous and hopeful immigrants symbolizes the big picture of the mass European immigration. Within are the diverse experiences of three different young immigrants who passed through the Ellis Island immigrant processing center, which is now a museum of the immigration experience.
