An updated edition of the breakout bestseller that inspired a new generation of history lovers

In The Small and the Mighty, "America's Government Teacher" Sharon McMahon brings her signature clarity, warmth, and humor to bear on a cast of twelve improbable champions who will challenge everything you thought you knew about who makes America great. You'll meet a woman astride a white horse riding down Pennsylvania Avenue, a young boy detained at a Japanese incarceration camp, a formerly enslaved woman on a mission to reunite with her daughter, a poet on a train, and a teacher who learns to work with her enemies.

This paperback edition has been expanded by the author to include a bonus chapter and a detailed study guide. McMahon's characters once again become familiar guides, lighting the path toward a more just, peaceful, and free world.
