Putting together this year's read aloud list has been quite a challenge. We finished up our second round of Story of the World last year, and that's what I based a lot of our list around. It was always fun to add historical fiction to our reading. Now going into high school, we'll transition to BJU's Human Geography. So I've been working on building our list around the continents that we'll study and the people that live there... their history, their culture, their lifestyle. I have no idea where this year is going to take us. Every title on this list is new to us (except for the holiday reads), so I'll keep you updated on our impressions. Have you read any of these?
