You can find several different threads on the board that give suggestions for other books or series that other moms do recommend. I have found many new books for my kids to read on this board.

The Magic Tree House books are about a brother and sister who find a magic tree house that takes them back in time to certain times in history where they experience what was happening at that time in that place. And usually they have certain tasks to accomplish while there or something they have to ...
