Customer Reviews

Quality Christian series, needs to be reprinted.

I'd like to collect these, but the prices for the sets are insane and buying them individually means shipping costs added on. However, if you're lucky enough to find these somewhere or can afford them, I highly recommend these books! They're written at a junior high/YA age level but could be enjoyed by grade school readers with good reading skills. They'd also be good read-alouds because adults will enjoy them, too. They take place at the turn of the century--1910 in this book--in Wisconsin. This one, Grandpa's Stolen Treasure, is about Kate O'Connell and her family. Kate's grandparents are arriving from Sweden, and everyone waits for them at the station...but they never arrive. Then a telegram arrives from Grandpa, who is in Duluth and writes that he's lost Grandma! But Grandma isn't lost...she's been kidnapped and the family must find out why anyone would want to steal their grandmother. It's hard to resist a book about stolen grandmothers...and stolen treasure.
