Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages and what ages/reading level are these books for?

Each book averages about 245 pages.

Average reading level: 5th grade

Written with the whole family in mind (ages 9+), but educationally targeted for 4th-8th grade.

Is there romance or bad language?

Since the war lasted 8 years, the characters do grow up during this series. There is familial affection shown (hugs, kiss on the cheek/head). Any other affection is limited to hugs, linking arms, or holding a hand.

The main character does get married by the end of the series, as was expected in their culture, but their "romance" is a minor subplot.

There is NO bad language used in the series.

Are they Faith Based?

Faith was the cornerstone of many colonials in the 1700s, including a majority of the founding fathers. Our characters walk by faith through the unprecedented and difficult circumstances they find themselves in.

Are these books geared towards girls, boys, or both?

BOTH! While the main character is a girl, she has 3 brothers and the books are filled with outside adventures (besides battles!) such as fishing and trapping, along with their comedic family dynamics.

Can I read the eBooks on my Kindle or other device?

YES! After you order eBooks, you'll receive an email from Bookfunnel with links and instructions on how to download onto a Kindle, Nook, or other device, read in your browser, or access right inside of your own "library" in Bookfunnel.

If you ever have problems, Bookfunnel's staff is super helpful, and you can reach them at help@bookfunnel.com.

What are the teaching resources, and how do I get them?

Every book contains a glossary in the back of difficult words. We also have a story quiz and at least one downloadable map for each book.

    "I have delayed in writing this review because I fear my words will not be enough to explain just how good this entire book series truly is and what a blessing it has been to me and my 10 year old son. I am a Christian mother who homeschools, and I am very selective about what books and media I allow to come in to my child’s mind. I mostly steer clear of fiction
    and stick with true stories from the Bible, our founding fathers, missionaries, and Protestant reformers. I want to fill his mind with truth and not nonsense.

    That being said, I decided to give the first book a try, and it awakened such a curiosity in us both to further study the American Revolution and the history of our country. These books are not only factual, but morally good, containing Christian values that are character building. My son says, “More, Mom. Read more!” All I can say is ‘great job’ and ‘thank you’ to Joel and Esther Ribbey."
