This book! Get it for your classroom, get it for your library. Get it for your house. I promise you'll never have a more fun and energetic (and loud) read aloud. @northsouthbooks.bsky.social

A great companion book is Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals: The Story of the Bill of Rights by @terikanefield.bsky.social
It does for the bill of rights what Fault Lines does for the constitution.

Just blown away by this book. Massive in heft, power, and brilliance. Utterly unique. Will undoubtedly be returning to this many many times.
I had no idea what I was getting myself into. So glad Mark Siegel convinced me to take it home.
