My Name Is America

My Name Is America is a series of historical novels published by Scholastic Press.

Each book is written in the form of a journal of a fictional young man's life during an important event or time period in American history.

Seen as a companion to Scholastic's Dear America series, it was primarily aimed at boys 9-12 years old.

The series was generally well received by libraries, educators, and parents, for its accessible and engaging historical fiction.

However some critics, such as Melissa Kay Thompson, felt the series reinforced national myths and whitewashed the nation's treatment of native communities.
