Heartwood books for the intermediate grades are backed up by online Culture Keys. These resources give teachers brief cultural, geographic, and historic information and suggest books and websites for further exploration of the book’s setting and characters. The Key for A River Ran Wild discusses Massachusetts, New Hampshire, the river’s history, and the problems of water pollution. Great tools for Social Studies!
