New Magical History Tour 3-in-1 | Exclusive Announcement
The Papercutz Magical History Tour series, by Fabrice Erre and Sylvain Savoia, sends two children, Annie and her little brother Nico, through time and space as they learn about different historical periods and figures. It’s not a new concept, but these books do a nice job and, because they originated in France, may cover aspects of history that don’t get as much attention as they deserve in American elementary schools. Johanna reviewed the first two volumes when they came out, and we broke the news of the three-in-one editions last year. Now we’ve got the scoop on the second three-in-one volume, Magical History Tour 3-in-1 #2, which includes, as can be seen from the cover, stories about the Crusades, the Plague, and Albert Einstein. The pocket-size graphic novel, pitched at readers in grades 2-6, is hardcover but comes in a small, 5.5″ x 6.5″ format that makes it easily portable; at 144 pages, it’s a nice length for middle-grade readers. This second volume will be released on October 22, 2024, with a list price of $14.99.
