Cahokia: Ancient America's Great City on the Mississippi
While Mayan and Aztec civilizations are widely known and documented, relatively few people are familiar with the largest prehistoric Native American city north of Mexico-a site that expert Timothy Pauketat brings vividly to life in this groundbreaking book. Almost a thousand years ago, a city flourished along the Mississippi River near what is now St. Louis. Built around a sprawling central plaza and known as Cahokia, the site has drawn the attention of generations of archaeologists, whose work produced evidence of complex celestial timepieces, feasts big enough to feed thousands, and disturbing signs of human sacrifice. Drawing on these fascinating finds, Cahokia presents a lively and astonishing narrative of prehistoric America.

What homeschoolers say about Penguin Random House
Penguin Random House is widely recognized among homeschoolers for offering a broad range of quality literature, including classic and historical fiction suitable for various age groups. Families appreciate the availability of well-known titles that support literature-based learning and reading comprehension. However, as a major commercial publisher, their materials are not specifically designed for homeschooling, so parents often need to supplement with additional guides or curricula to align with educational goals. Pricing can vary, and some families find certain editions less affordable compared to other homeschool-specific publishers.
