An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
In this highly praised examination of Lincoln and his times, Albert Marrin shows how a principled but imperfect man-brilliant and determined but also cautious and prejudiced-grew under the pressure of personal tragedy and national crisis to become our greatest president. A beautifully researched, riveting account of Lincoln and the Civil War period, Commander in Chief was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and a Booklist Editors' Choice.
