📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical.

If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Cornerstone Story Collection — Elementary, Volume 5
Four historical novellas in one volume, grouped by reading level.
A girl works the storehouse scales with hands that have been cold since September - and a knife that is not hers. A boy counts his load twice before a long walk home and an error he has to own. A knee-high stone fence marks the line between two families, and a boy is standing on the other side of it. And a stone falls from a wall that has stood longer than anyone can remember.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates honesty, hospitality, and faithful, unseen work through engaging stories that families will enjoy reading again and again. These are quiet, thoughtful tales for readers moving up into longer, character-driven stories.
This volume includes four complete novellas:
- Borrowed Knife
- The Long Way Home
- Through the Open Gate
- Loose Stone
Written for ages 10-12, these historical stories are ideal for confident readers in grades 5-6 and equally rewarding as family read-alouds — perfect for classical homeschool families seeking rich, character-forming historical fiction.
