Welcome to PowerPlus Books. This new imprint, which will be launching in Fall 2001, is aimed at grades four to eight, written at the fifth grade reading level. (PowerKids Press Books are at the third grade level.) The PowerPlus imprint is designed to explore a wide range of subject areas, especially history and science, to meet the needs of upper elementary and middle school students. These books help students with research, reports, projects, and assignments. Supplementing the curriculum and classroom work, these books offer students a level of specificity and detail that a chapter in a more general textbook cannot supply. Be sure to check out our subscription program for great savings.The first series in the PowerPlus imprint is a 12-book collection: The Library of American Lives and Times. Coming in Fall 2001, these books are comprehensive biographical treatments of important Americans, emphasizing not just their lives, but the times in which they lived. Each book is 112 pages with dynamic four-color photos through out. Text is designed to make the navigation and comprehension of these more extensive supplemental books an easy transition from the third grade material under the PowerKids Press imprint.

A politician, orator, and patriot, Patrick Henry summed up the greatest goal of his times with the words "Give me liberty or give me death." In profession and oration, he committed himself to the cause of just and fair government first for the colonies, then the new nation. A multi-term governor of Virginia, champion of the Bill of Rights, and powerful orator, Patrick Henry more than earned his nickname and legacy as the "Voice of the Revolution."
