Mrs. Piggle Wiggle
Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
Shiloh
Call of the Wild
Old Yeller
Where the red Fern Grows
Little House on the Prairie – the whole series.
I Sailed with Christopher Columbus
The Whipping Boy (this one is sort of intense, the message is there, but only for mature kids – my son ‘got’ it but I didn’t have my daughter read it.)
Heidi – By Johanna Spyri ( we couldn’t put this one down – I read it to the children a couple of years ago, when my oldest was 11 years and they always wanted me to keep going. It’s a great book! It’s at the library and here: http://www.amazon.com/Heidi-Johanna-Spyri/dp/1402726015/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422102554&sr=8-1&keywords=heidi
The Hiding Place – Corrie Ten Boom (this was amazing story of an amazing woman. I read it first and couldn’t put it down. I was challenged and encouraged. My almost-teenager wanted to read it and he did – he also couldn’t put it down. I’d say for mature teens because it is intense to hear about what happens during Hitler’s time. However, it’s written well – putting in only what needs to be in order to understand and it’s more about her relationship with others and with God during this difficult time.
My Father’s House – Another Corrie Ten Boom book – but about how God prepared her during her younger years.
