Beyond the book

The Constitution Kids learning platform

The Constitution Kids pairs Gary Gabel's time-travel novel with a digital companion for exploring the Constitution and civic life. Built by DRKNYT, the platform connects the story with online reading, learning topics, discussion resources, and public civic broadcasts. It is designed for readers, families, teachers, and homeschool communities.

The book provides the starting point: Alex, Kali, and Roman encounter questions about rights, government, and responsibility. The platform gives readers places to follow those questions, from the ideas behind a chapter to their relevance in everyday life.

Read and connect

An opening sample and chapter directory introduce the story. The Learning Hub brings together stories in the book, modern topics, civics knowledge, and Constitution basics.
