Power to the People! explains the history of consumer rights in America — from the fight for safer cars and cigarette warning labels to the battle against toxic food additives and corporate malfeasance — showing how ordinary citizens, activists, and lawyers used lawsuits, boycotts, and legislation to hold powerful corporations accountable for the harm they caused. Richard Panchyk traces this largely untaught history through vivid examples and accessible language, making the complex world of torts understandable for middle-grade readers. This is an important choice for students because it teaches civic empowerment and critical thinking about corporate power, showing that the safety protections we take for granted were won through generations of determined public advocacy.
