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

The Cornerstone Story Collection — Middle School, Volume 1
Four historical novellas in one volume, grouped by reading level.
A girl works her mother's seed beds one thumb-width at a time. A girl steps into a frost-bitten bakery yard and finds a thread she cannot untie. When a neighbor's baby comes early, a girl is left with the soup pot and a house to keep. And a boy scrubs years of grime from an old widower's window so the light can come through it again.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates integrity, diligence, and unasked kindness through engaging stories that families will enjoy reading again and again. These are quiet, thoughtful tales for middle-grade readers ready for longer stories and characters who carry real responsibility.
This volume includes four complete novellas:
- Across the Narrow Bridge
- Knotted Thread
- Quiet Supper
- A Clouded Window
Written for ages 11-14, these historical stories are ideal for readers in grades 6-8 and equally rewarding as family read-alouds — perfect for classical homeschool families seeking rich, character-forming historical fiction.
