REVIEWS

"Are You Liberal, Conservative, or Confused? is an outstanding primer for political studies. Parents and children will have much food for thought in this easy-to-read volume that covers much more than just terms. Short chapters allow the student to learn the material a little at a time." — Martha Robinson, Reviewer for HomeschoolChristian.com

"Like our previous Maybury favorites (Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? and Whatever Happened to Justice?) in Are You Liberal? Conservative? or Confused? Uncle Eric leaps to the rescue firing off 26 thoroughly fascinating letters on political philosophies, past, present, and future. The book is recommended for readers aged 14 and up, but I'd crank it down a few years - Uncle Eric is clear as a bell." — Becky Rupp, Good Stuff, Home Education Magazine

"The entire series should be a required, integral component of the social studies curriculum in all public and private schools." — William P. Snavely, Emeritus Professor of Economics, George Mason University
