Mid-High History books "Freedom Walker" by Freedman (best book on civil rights movement I've found done from a factual first hand factual approach, instead of a political approach) and "Alexander the Great Rocks the World" by Shecter (Best written account of Alexandr I've found, both engaging and infromative).

The series is written in turn of the century Maine and is super charming! But I'm from Maine, so maybe that is part of the appeal? Anyway, I totally recommend them!

He is a Christian writer, and his books are clean. (Good is called good; bad actions taken by the characters are shown as bad or show the negative consequences.) While not all of his books contain overt Christian references in the text, they are great at making you think, and the messages stay with me long after I finish the story. Also, the question guides at the end often tie the story to God and spiritual growth.Amy Pantzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807837068530718137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-50868707385991298692019-07-16T17:18:51.711-07:002019-07-16T17:18:51.711-07:00I just finished Finding Dorothy by Elizabeth Letts...I just finished Finding Dorothy by Elizabeth Letts.
