These books are better than history class. I slacked off in history and still did fairly well thanks to reading these when I was younger.

I had no idea about this series, until about a year and a half ago, I noticed them in the school library. The first one I read was "Alone in an Untamed Land" I thought I wouldn't like it. It was Amazing! I read "A Rebel's Daughter" next, and I knew that I had to read more. Wonderful Series!
