Quick Summary
This second edition explores the history, economy, geography, religion, customs, and culture of Greece, taking readers from the ancient Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations through modern Greek society. The book covers specific topics like the political structure of city-states such as Athens and Sparta, the role of the Eastern Orthodox Church in daily life, traditional foods like moussaka and souvlaki, and how Greece's location in the Mediterranean has shaped its economy and foreign relations. If your kid likes the "Magic Tree House Fact Tracker" series or DK's "Eyewitness" books, they'll find this similarly detailed guide to Greece equally informative. With an AR Level of 7.3 and an interest level for middle grades 4-8, this 18,274-word book works well for 4th through 7th graders reading at a solid middle school level.
