A few years ago my 13 year old said that she only likes history from two sources. First, her dad, who can tell long, details history stories in an engaging way, and secondly, Jim Weiss, who narrated the audiobook version of Story of the World, and is also a very engaging storyteller. We listened to the Story of the World series in the car on long drives, repeatedly, off and on, for a few years.
Since then I think she might say she enjoys history from some other sources as well. Our whole family loves John Green's Crash Course history videos on YouTube. A few nights ago my 11 year old daughter said she was determined to stay up all night to watch the entire U.S. History series. We didn't quite make it; I think we couldn't stay awake any longer around Post-Civil War Reconstruction.
