Okay, I know this is off-topic for the week (imagine that! -- and I'm in charge, I should know better), but I need a few suggestions (a few).

Can anyone suggest a good book or series of historical fiction appropriate for a third-grade boy? The books should be at least 100 pages (but better if not more than 200). His class does a different genre each month. He reads at (or above reading level).

We've had some problems in the past. Last year, he was assigned a class library book at a Civil War nurse that was a bit tedious to read and not very interesting.

I thought about the Little House series, but I don't know if that will interest him. (He's not opposed to reading about girls, but he'll be less interested.)

Thanks in advance, and apologies for the digression.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled topic.

(by the way, I'm starting a new grad school class tonight, so I won't be able to tally the votes I've gotten for next week's topic until tomorrow.)
