The Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace. The first few books in the series read a little young - when Betsy is five - but they rapidly age as Betsy goes to High School, College, travel and marriage. They are based on Lovelace's own childhood growing up in Minnesota in the late 1890's and early 1900's. I loved them.
American Girl might skew a little young - my seven year old loves them - but the girls in them are always nine turning ten and they are very interesting. My son likes them too and wants them for boys. I even enjoy reading them. I haven't even let my daughter read the Addie and Julie series yet as they are slightly more mature themes - slavery and divorce. Enjoy. |
