Uncle Eric series.
It's all non fiction.
Breaks down all kinds of things people should be aware of. Covers everything from the Roman Empire, WW1,WW2, how to run a a business, socialism, capitalism, the justice system, branches of government.
Well written and interesting. Pretty quick read too so you can screen them if your nervous about preteen political indoctrination
