We are doing SOTW 2 and really enjoying it. What must haves do you really think are just awesome and well, must have? My kiddos are 9 & 7 - the older one is reading far beyond her age (but she still doesn't like how some of the advanced books have itty bitty little print - but both love history.

 

Thanks.

Great list. I'll add a few:

 

Two Travelers and The Blue Mouse by Christopher Manson -- much loved by my 7-10 group

Minstrel in the Tower

Beggars, Beast and Easter Fire (short chapters on Christian heroes)

Viking Adventure by Bulla

Leif the Lucky

The Silk Route by Majors

 

I think they could read most of those independently. A few that we've done as read-alouds and were well received by 7-adult:

 

Son of Charlemagne (Willard)

The Star and the Sword

Augustine Came to Kent (Willard -- she's one of my favorite authors, btw)

Red Keep by Allen French (I get begged for this one every night currently)

 

We're also really enjoying listening to An Island Story on Librivox.
