Thanks for that recommendation. My oldest just turned 10 a couple of weeks ago and is devouring books this summer (not good for the digestion, I know). She loves history (like her dear mother) and those would be right up her alley. I see our local library has several of that series.
My daughter read many of the Dear America series by Scholastic and liked them very much.
I keep finding my kids hiding in corners (and bathrooms - and there are 10 of us :-) with books, when they’re supposed to be outside doing Exertion. Fortunately, the two oldest boys are going to Boy Scout camp next week.
