I use several for WWII. I use a couple for the study of the major religions, which is the first 6 weeks. I coud use some new books for the religion study, as "Number the Stars" and "The Devil's Arithematic" can overlap into tthe WWII study. Also, I could use a novel for Africa. Australia/NewZealand is our Oceania study and I could use something. Any suggestions out there?????????
