Six Days in October: The Stock Market Crash of 1929: A Wall Street Journal Book for Children

Rating:
Summary: good, but a little dull
Review: This is a very nice hardcover book that talks about the people, the stocks, and what went on in 1929 at the dawn of the stock market crash. Blumenthal follows numerous popular brokers, celebrities and everyday people as they stuggle with the uncertain market. Blumenthal also goes into details of why the stock market was so popular in the 1920's and explains many important stock market concepts as well. I used this book for a project,but have to admit that at times it was a bit dull. The intended audience might find it very boring, but nonetheless, it was a fairly good book.

Rating:
Summary: Non-fiction that is not boring
Review: This was a great book that I loved reading. I am into history and this book gave lots of details about the stock market crash that made it easy to understand. I think lots of kids will like this book if they give it a chance.
