The books arrived fairly quick. The best part was that our son began reading one as soon as the package was opened. A very good investment!!! 💚
Got these for my 2 grandsons ages 11 and 9. Great feedback from the boys so far, they really are enjoying them.
My 8 year old son devoured this book in 2 days! He enjoyed learning about all of the battles that made the Revolutionary War and learning about George Washington’s life. We can’t wait to order more books from this author.
There's not much to see here. I added 10 to the library's collection. An 11 year-old boy checked out a couple 2 weeks ago. He came in and grabbed the rest of the stack yesterday because he loved them. He said he read each of them about five times. Another boy came and grabbed the two remaining books and they are really popular with our younger, more conservative readers. When they're reading something they enjoy, they'll refer their friends to the series and this one seems like a winner!
My son is dyslexic. He despises reading. He is entering fourth grade. I purchased this book and the audiobook in a last ditch effort. He absolutely loves following along while listening to the audio. He rates it a 10/10. We are now almost finished reading it and are going to purchase the WWII book/audiobook.
The American Revolution • Paperback
Store owner replied: That's terrific to hear. Thank you for sharing his experience. And thank you for helping him learn to love reading.
My grandson has been loving the entire series. Regularly he will call to discuss the content. He has become a voracious reader with his teacher commenting to his parents a dramatic increase in his reading proficiency.
Store owner replied: How terrific! Thank you for sharing his (and your) experience -- I bet those phone calls are amazing. Thanks again.
My son loves learning about all things military. These books have been great!
I used a kpod for scale in the photo. The books are awesome! I also purchased the audio books for days when I can't sit and read to my kids, so I'll play those while doing chores or art or something. But they are a great read for boys (and girls)! Such an amazing idea! Thank you!
My review is like those which I read before purchasing: My 10 year old couldn't put it down. He finished the book in a few days, on his own. I will be buying more. It brought such joy to see him enjoying reading.

Store owner replied: Thank you, Martha Martin. What a great photo! Hope he devours all the books -- and keeps reading for the rest of his life.
He has been very engaged especially it being in Korea since we lived there for 3 years.
Store owner replied: That's terrific! What a great photo, too. Thank you.
very positive reaction from the 10 year old recipient
My 9 year old son wasn’t interested in reading and was getting frustrated with books that didn’t interest him. He’s now picking up the battle books on his own because he loves them so much! He’s sharing what he’s learning, showing me the maps and telling me all about the battles, I honestly think I’m learning as much as he is, haha. I’m so grateful these books are turning his heart towards reading!!

My kiddo is flying through these books! I asked what he was going to do for new material since he’s consuming them so quickly. He said, “oh, I’ll be re-reading this set mom!” :)

Store owner replied: That's terrific, Rena. Thanks for commenting. You can also let him know new books are coming, including "The Wild West" in October.
I ordered the 9-book set for my 8 year old grandson, and had it shipped to his house. It arrived in a few days, and he began reading the first book immediately, finished it in about a week, and has started reading the second book already. He loves the books, and calls me to talk about them. I am very pleased that he is reading more, and playing video games less. I was hopeful that this would be his summer reading, but he will likely finish soon!

Store owner replied: Howard, it's so heartening to hear of grandparents like you who are making sure their grandsons spend more time in books and less time on screens. Thank you.
My 10 year old son loves these. They have the perfect amount of detail—enough to give the stories interest and connection but not so much he loses the train of thought. We will be using these with the curriculum PDF file as his fifth grade history program this fall.
My 9 year old grandson, Cameron, cannot put them down. He is totally engrossed in them. Thank you for offering them!
The website is really easy to navigate and the shipping is really fast and the books are packaged securely. I have a young patron that was very excited that I ordered the set. I also needed a receipt for my records and the request was fulfilled the same day. I love a company that has great communication.
The second one in the series that my 11 yr old has read. He can’t put them down!
My son loves this series!
I purchased the Battles for Boys books for our school library. I can't wait to see what the boys will say about them. I read the books myself and was able to follow along with the clear explanations of the battles. I enjoyed the photos that went with the information discussed.
Store owner replied: That's a good librarian who reads the books herself! Thank you, Diane. Let us know what the boys say.
Disappointed by the historical inaccuracies and errors. Not sure if we can keep in our library because of this. I am curious about the author's sources, but I do not see a sources page at the back of the book.
Great service and delivery - as advertised. Still evaluating composition/accuracy/reality of the books.
It’s a gift for my grandson’s birthday which is next month. But the books look great to me.
Great! My son loves them.
My grandson is enjoying the series!
Store owner replied: Thanks, Loretta. We really enjoy hearing about grandparents and grandsons connecting over reading and history.
The books were for our church’s private school

I sent this to my great grandson in Houston and my daughter told me he loved it!

I’m the dean of students at a classical Christian school and a 4th grade boy recommended these books to us so I bought a set for our library.

Store owner replied: Thank you, Ellen. We are enthusiastic fans of classical education.
My son loves these books - we read them together every night and he has learned a lot in the process without feeling like it's school!
My 11 yr old finished this book in 24 hours. He couldnt put it down.
Excellent book for young boys or girls. Important for both to know the history!
My son actually reads them. I also did.
