Wright on Time by Lisa Cottrell-Bentley was sent to me for review by the author for review for MamaBuzz.What a cute book! The author was very creative in coming up with a series of books for "middle" kids to read and enjoy. This book, book 1, takes place in Arizona with the Wright family, a homeschooling RV family who travel across the country. Therefore, subsequent books will take place in all 50 states. The author is very careful to add in detail about each state, so while your child is enjoying the story, he/she is learning about each state.
My daughter Ellie, aged 10, read this book in about an hour. She enjoyed it even though it was a bit below her reading level. Once she started reading, she couldn't put it down.
It is always nice to be able to hand my children a book about homeschoolers, children they can relate to. I appreciate this book for that alone, but when you add in the educational value and the enjoyment they derive from this book, you get a winner!
Feel free to check out the Wright on Time website for more information about this book and the other books in series. You can purchase this book at the website or on Amazon for $12.99.
