Step into 1880 Washington Territory
Red‑haired Jenny Grant first met Andi Carter at a girls’ school in San Francisco, where the two of them got in and out of more scrapes than you can shake a stick at.
Now, Jenny is back in her own middle‑grade adventure series (ages 8–12). Her family runs Timberland Lumber, a logging company in Tacoma on the shores of Puget Sound. Jenny and two of her five brothers form an unbreakable bond as they explore the bustling waterfront and shadowy forests of this rugged land—where adventure never ends.
Horses, Adventure & the Old West
Ride along with Andrea “Andi” Carter from age six through her growing-up years—where horses, family, faith and frontier adventure shape every chapter of Andi’s life.
Early readers (ages 6-9) can start with the Beginnings and move easily into the Stepping Stones (ages 7-10). Middle-grade readers will enjoy the Adventures (ages 9-13), while ages 11 & up can finish Andi’s journey in the Milestones.
High Adventure in an 1860s Gold Camp
Step into Goldtown, where danger, discovery, and frontier grit shape every day. These two action‑packed series for boys blend fast‑paced adventure with a biblical worldview and strong faith‑and‑family themes.
Young readers (ages 6-9) can start with the Beginnings, then move into the middle-grade Adventures (ages 9-13) for even more exciting adventures.
