This book is an enjoyable yet informative look at the history of varying 18 year olds. Some of them I knew but there were a few I hadn't heard of and it was so interesting to learn about what led them to be who they were. Loxton covers a range of people from all walks of life. She makes them all feel human and brings their stories to life. I enjoyed that she showed the challenges and hardships that they all faced no matter what class they had been born into. It was so interesting to see the concept of age change over the years. Her writing style is engaging and I think this would be a great book for young people interested in history.
