Copper Sun Bibliography
Note to teachers and students about resources:
I did years of research to write this book, using hundreds of sources. There is no way I could include in the story all the information that I learned. If you'd like to learn more about this period in history, the list below contains not all, but some of the best sources that I found. The entries marked with an asterisk (**) are particularly appropriate for middle school.
