Two of the books are reading have very long chapter.
We have just one chapter left of Ginger Pye. The kids are really enjoying this book, my dh is reading it and he isn't as keen on the style of the "prose" but the kids are excited to find out who took Ginger Pye!
Ginger Pye (Young Classic)
The Wheel on the School also has very long chapters we are 3/4 the way through this book. While the story is great and we are enjoying it, it got pushed to the side by the two other books we read this month.
The Wheel on the School
I especially liked reading this book - it reminded me of everything I liked about reading as a kid. It is a great story about a girl who writes a novel and gets it published - but how she does that is the basis of this book. Great, read, short quick chapters that make you want to read more. I love those kind of books!
The School Story
The Boxcar Children - is a classic - we had read this book before and my children even listened to it once on CD but when we found all 12 of the books at a rummage sale we are excited to be able to read this first book again and dive into the rest of the series.

We didn't get the lovely boxcar bookshelf - though I think it looks pretty neat.

Follow My Leader
- about a boy who becomes blind in a firework accident. About adapting, forgiving and thriving with a disability. My children loved it! They really felt for the boy Jimmy when he became blind and it was interesting to see how real their empathy for him was.
- about Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter Rose and their move from South Dakota to Missouri. Which was neat for our family since my husband is from MO but our home in the States is in SD.
