To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical.

The Cornerstone Story Collection — Elementary, Volume 1
Four historical novellas in one volume, grouped by reading level.
On a cold road north, a boy weighs whether to share the one blanket he has. Frost closes over a mountain lake, and a boy learns what the season asks of him. When a wandering hen crosses a boundary, a girl must decide what to do about the egg on the other side. And a girl who checks the hens each morning faces a crooked fence and a straight answer.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates compassion, honesty, and steadfast character through engaging stories that families will enjoy reading again and again. These are quiet, thoughtful tales for young readers ready for substantial prose and characters who are trusted with real work.
This volume includes four complete novellas:
- A Blanket Shared
- The Cold Hearth
- Where the Egg Was Hidden
- Crooked Fence, Honest Word
Written for ages 8-11, these historical stories are ideal for strong independent readers in grades 3-5 and equally rewarding as family read-alouds — perfect for classical homeschool families seeking rich, character-forming historical fiction.
