Here is a book series I have greatly found interesting. I have already read Betsy's River Adventure and I am in the middle of Grace and the Bully. They are great books for any girls from 8-12, (according to the back of the books.) But I think they are good for any girls from 8-about 14, since some of the girls are those ages. This is not the whole series, there are 24 books but these are the ones that I have. The books vary from the 1600s to the 1900s.
