Our America Series ... The Pioneer Adventure

And my first GIVE AWAY!!!!

I was once again given the opportunity to review Susan Kilbride new historical fiction book.  My children have read the entire 5-book series so far and really enjoy them!  These books are written with fictional characters Finn and Ginny, who travel back in time to experience real historical events while searching for their missing parents.  What is great about these books are that many of the events Finn and Ginny experience are directly related to what the author's ancestors experienced during these times.  I just love that personal connection!  In this book Finn and Ginny are on a wagon ride heading west to Oregon.  Susan Kilbride writes that all of the events in this book are true but did not occur in the same wagon ride!

The recommended ages for these books are 7 to 12 year old.  They average about 100 pages and have short chapters, but are fill of historical events.   Another plus about these books is that the author, Susan Kilbride, has put together for free, additional activities on her website that you can use for each book.  I have done several posts on the activities the children have done for each book and we love the extra activities!   You can check out her website here!

You can look back at some of the posts I have done on her other books here (just click on the links)
