My America

My America is a series of fictional diaries of children that take place during significant moments in American history.

Created by Scholastic, it is a spin-off of the series, Dear America, geared toward younger children (ages 7-10[1]).

Writers include well respected and popular children's authors, such as Mary Pope Osborne of Magic Tree House fame.

The series was discontinued in 2004, but the books continue to be a popular teaching device for introducing American history to elementary school age children.
