Hunter Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Bethlehem Books is having a 1 day sale, today. I think all the eBooks are $0.99 to $1.99. https://www.bethlehembooks.com This is the publisher of some of the harder to get historical fiction titles that are so common on many homeschool literature lists.

teeniebeenie6 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've seen many of their books recommended for Middle Ages history. Next year we will be doing the Middle Ages with my daughters who will be in Gr. 3 + 4. Can anyone recommend titles for those grades? My daughters will be 9 (almost 10) and 8 when we are studying this time period. Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I can't, but hopefully someone else can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy M Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'll give it a shot. These might be too hard for your ages, but you could consider reading aloud. The nice thing about Bethlehem Books is that you can sort them by historical age and also see reading ages recommended for each book. S. From the early Middle Ages category, here are some goodies: Augustine Came to kent Rolf and the Viking Bow Beowulf Son of Charlemagne Beirn the Proud spring Tide The ides of April Galen and the gateway to Medicine Beyond the desert gate The only one recommended for reading level 4 is the Locked Crowns, which I haven't read. Again most of these will be too hard for 3-4th graders to read independently, depending on how strong of readers they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Is there/are there specific reading lists that use/recommend these books? I am not recognizing any of the titles I have perused. They look really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm trying to remember which lists I've seen some of these on but: Hittite Warrior. Maybe TOG? https://www.bethlehembooks.com/content/hittite-warrior-0 Archimedes and the Door of Science, and the other books by the author. This one is on AO isn't it? https://www.bethlehembooks.com/content/archimedes-and-door-science-0 God King. TOG? https://www.bethlehembooks.com/content/god-king-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Mystery of the Periodic Table is on AO? https://www.bethlehembooks.com/content/mystery-periodic-table-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Layers of Learning unit 1:6 ☻Victory on the Walls: The Story of Nehemiah by Frieda Clark Hyman. Fictionally tells the Old Testament Story of the return of the Jews from banishment to rebuild their holy city. Definitely religious in tone, tells the story of a pivotal and important moment in the history of the west. ☻☻God King by Joanne Williamson. Fictional story set in the historical period of King Hezekiah of Judah, but revolving around the unwilling young king of the Egyptians. Kids feel drawn into this ancient world. Religious in focus.☻☻Hittite Warrior by Joanne S. Williamson. Historical fiction. A Hittite boy finds himself descending from conqueror to conquered and in the middle of a power struggle among middle eastern tribes including the Canaanites, Hebrews and Egyptians.

VeritasMama Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 They have quite a few titles that are also recommended in quite a few Catholic curriculum such as MODG, Angelicum Acadmey, etc. Connecting With History, Catholic Mosaic, Mater Amabilis, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeniebeenie6 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions! I ended up getting the ones below. We'll try them as read alouds but if any of them end up being bit too advanced we'll have them for later down the road. :) Hidden Treasure Of Glaston Augustine Came To Kent Son Of Charlemagne Red Hugh, Prince Of Donegal Lost Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I liked Red Hugh the best of your middle three. Haven't heard of the first or last ones. :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrself Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks Hunter. I picked up the science books at these good prices - Mystery of periodic table and Galen... as well as the Herodotus book. (I already have the Archimedes book.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Some of these, as Veritas Mama's post suggest, are very Catholic in their view of history. It is history, but it is Catholic-centric (Augustine Came To Kent, Son Of Charlemagne, Red Hugh, Prince Of Donegal). Rolf & the Viking Bow was a quick, enjoyable read. I don't remember that there was any sort of Catholic bent to that one, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
