Read-Alouds

At night, the kids all gather around to listen to Dad read the latest book. You can see previous reads in my side-bar. But, I wanted to highlight the newest series because the kids, and my husband, are really enjoying it.

I picked up the whole series at the North Dakota Home School Conference in March earlier this year. It's been waiting for it's turn to be read ... the time has finally arrived. The series, titled 'Viking Quest', was written by Lois Walfried Johnson and is for children ages 10 & up.  The five books in this series have a Christian theme, so that makes them even more appealing to me.

Here's a description of the story in the first book, 'Raiders from the Sea':

In one harrowing day, Viking raiders capture Bree and her brother Devin and take them from their home in Ireland.  After the young Viking leader Mikkel sets Devin free on the Irish coast, Bree and Devin embark on separate journeys to courage.

The kids have really enjoyed the story line thus far and have begged their dad for 'one more chapter' since starting to read.  The print is bigger, so the books won't last long in this house of readers!
