How can you teach children to appreciate Depression glass?
How can you teach your children or grandchildren to appreciate the Depression glass they may one day inherit?

The answer is a mystery.

Literally.

Children ages 10 to 14 are captivated by the mystery novel, "The Glass Inheritance," which teaches them an appreciation of not only Depression glass but the era when it was made.

In the novel, 12-year-old Samantha inherits Depression glass upon her grandmother's death.  As she is trying to learn about the glassware, she also learns about the Depression Era and World War II and develops a better appreciation of her grandmother and the glass inheritance left to her.

Along with a piece of glass, the book makes the perfect gift to spark an interest in glass--or test the amount of interest already there.

The book's publisher, Royal Fireworks Press, is the U.S.'s largest publisher of books for gifted and talented students.  Its books are marketed directly to schools, teachers, and homeschoolers.

You can order the book from most bookstores with the ISBN (0-88092-5434).  Or, for an autographed copy, send an e-mail to the author with your request.
