Starting with Ancient Mesopotamia in 1754 BCE, the book travels through Thebes, Egypt; Athens, Greece; Rome, Italy; Chang’an, China; Timbuktu, Mali; Canterbury, England; Tenochtitlán, Mexico; Edo, ­Japan; Williamsburg, Virginia; and ends in Sacramento, California in 1851 CE. Along the way, readers learn about what was considered a criminal offense in each city during that time period. Chapters start with a short history of the city and different laws, social norms, and regulations that ­apply. Then two beautifully illustrated pages invite readers to look for the law breakers based on their new knowledge. Following that is another bit of history; finally, readers find out if they have determined the correct infractions and the punishments for each offense. The book incorporates “Where’s Waldo?” elements with historical facts that will shock and delight middle grade readers for an entertaining introduction to how crime and punishment has changed across centuries and countries. Back matter includes a glossary.
