MeganW Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Can you think of other quick-read historical book series? American Girl Magic Tree House You Wouldn't Want to Be... the d'Aulaire books ( Greek Myths, Ben Franklin, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momling Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Horrible histories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The "Who Was..." series of biographies. Though now there are "What Was..." which includes historical events. The Time Warp Trio (though the history is less historical in those) Scholastic's If You Lived... series, though that one is a little on the harder side. There are two Mrs. Fizzle's Adventures books - Ancient Egypt and Ancient China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrale Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Dear America. There is another series. Biographies of famous people when they were kids I think. I just can't think of that right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfOrdinary Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The Roman Mysteries are about a girl and her friends solving mysteries in Rome. They are wonderfully accurate historical fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
