Tales from Maple Ridge Series

Review:

I am thrilled to add the Tales from Maple Ridge series to this book list! Each book is around 120-140 pages with large print and very charming black-and-white illustrations on every page. The books center around Logan Pryce, an eight-year-old boy who lives in Maple Ridge, Illinois, in the 1890s. Logan’s gentle, yet fun adventures have wonderful educational and moral value.

Books in this series we have reviewed and recommend: Logan Pryce Makes a Mess, The Lucky Wheel, The Big City, The Ghost of Juniper Creek, Lost in the Blizzard, The New Kid
