17 Comments

1. Oh Carlie! This is JUST THE POST I needed this morning. I need some more focused read-alouds for my 11 year old and these all look wonderful. Seriously – you just made my day!!!

   1. Mary,
      I am so happy that this post blessed you earlier today 🙂 My daughter is a freshly turned 11-year-old as well 🙂 Be blessed sweet friend!

2. Thanks for this list! I want to use more living books for social studies, and I just happen to have a newly-tween girl! This is very helpful. She will love these!

   1. Jennifer,
      Great! We love living books – we live for them…LOL. But we really do eat them up around here! Glad you can benefit from this list 🙂

3. I had never heard of Liberty Letters books before. They look very interesting. Also interested in the Daughters of the Faith series. Thank you for sharing about these. I will be checking them out for sure.

   1. Ginny,
      I really think you will LOVE these books! Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by today!

4. Thanks! The Liberty Letters series looks really good!

   1. Amber,
      I really think you will enjoy the Liberty Letters. I originally purchased them for Hannah to read as silent reading books back in 2007 and we still use them today 🙂

5. I have a few of these set aside for the next few years. (Don’t have a tween yet…but soon.) Thanks for reminding me. I’ll have to unpack them.

   1. Jamie,
      Sounds like you have a GREAT stockpile of books for the future 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

6. Hello from your newest email subscriber! I found you through The Ultimate Homeschool Blog Roll by Hip Homeschool Moms. As an avid reader and lover of all books, I want to thank you for posting these books. While my only daughter is still too young for any of these books I will definitely make a list of them for future reference.

   1. Welcome Katrina! I am happy we are connected 🙂 I am also happy these books can bless you and your daughter in the future!

7. I have not heard of Liberty’s Letters, but my girls love Dear America and AG novels so i am going to check these out. thank you!

   1. Hi Theresa,
      I really believe your girls will love this series. My daughter has also been fond of both AG and Dear America novels as well 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

8. This is perfect for us right now! I wasn’t familiar with the Liberty Letters series so you’ve given us something new to read! Awesome! We love living history books. I’m going to pin this so I won’t forget it. =0)

9. So glad to get some new recommendations on great books. Just finished an awesome read today. Beorn the Proud by Madeleine Polland. Great gook on the Viking history from a Christian perspective. Yes, there is a good one out there! Will keep the name for later when my daughter is older. She is only 7.5 now and this book is beyond her maturity.

10. These look interesting! My daughter is about to be 5 and my son about to be 3, but I’m always thinking ahead. I spent so much of my time reading good books at that age! My first thoughts are of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and of the book Caddie Woodlawn. There were so many others I liked also.
