You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Our kids (6 and 8) have finished the Magic Tree House series and want to start another one. My elder one has already been through American Girls and select Boxcar Kids ones, but can anyone recommend another series that our 1st and 2nd grader would enjoy? i am especially interested in ones they can read on their own, as we are already involved in Vision Books and Ingalls-Wilder books as a lit read-aloud unit.

I love that the MTH books were short and historically accurate and could be used in unit studies (and had pictures), and enjoy that about the Boxcar Kids too, so I would like something similar, but we are not adverse to appropriate mystery and science fiction series books also. Any recommendations appreciated.

Sorry, i didn't specify. My son is 6 (1st grade and loves adventure, superheroes, time travel mysteries) and my daughter is 8 (2nd grade and loves period stories like Little House, as well as mysteries that are easy to read and of course, when girls are part of the adventurers).
