   Just saw these books at the library. They look decent but wanted to ask for opinions. Anyone care to share?

   Thanks!

   My dd10 (9 at the time) and I have read American Dream and American Challenge.  We love them.  I couldn't put them down!  We read them for pure leisure but will be studying American History this year and my just read through them again!

   I was in a hurry this morning and thought maybe I should come back with some "real" info.  :)  I am no history buff, although I enjoy history immensely.  From what I can tell, these books are historically accurate.  They present many major historical characters and events and really draw you into the time period.  My dd (9 at the time, as I mentioned previously) read these to herself, but they would make great read-alouds.  I think that at least some of them are great for boys, as well.  I cannot remember specifically which stories, but at least one or two in American Dream feature both a girl AND a boy as the main characters.  We are getting ready to do American History using Truthquest and SCM this year, and I was thinking as I read these earlier this summer how great they would be to read during our studies!  Hope this helps!
