Thanks for the suggestions! I have a voracious reader in my house, so it becomes a challenge finding enough twaddle-free reading for her. These sound like ones I’d enjoy, too!

Hero Tales – A family treasury of true stories from the lives of Christian Heroes by Dave and Neta Jackson, 4 volume set. Not chronological like Trial and Triumph but very good as it has character traits that are highlighted in each story and questions after each story for a deeper discussion.

Just 2 good hero books- off the top of my head.

They look beautiful on the shelves. Next, on the list is the Ballantyne set but we have a lot to read first! Great recommendations. I will check out the Hero Stories. I need some good books for a little younger age range then Henty’s.

Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that girls and boys hate to put down. My web site is at http://www.maxbooks.9k.com and my Books for Boys blog is at http://booksandboys.blogspot.com

I also have a short story in a new book called LAY UPS and LONG SHOTS, published by Darby Creek Publishing. It’s a Junior Library Guild selection. I’m also featured in an article in the 2009 edition of Children’s Writer Guide.

My other books are all ranked by Accelerated Reader
