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

The Cornerstone Story Collection — Middle School, Volume 10
Four historical novellas in one volume, grouped by reading level.
Mud season turns a mountain settlement brown, and every step tracks it to somebody's door. The hum from the hives at the top of the hill carries down to a girl weeding the bean rows. A tanner's apprentice, sent out with deliveries and a customer's complaint ringing in his ears, discovers what one extra mile actually costs. And a boy gathers the driftwood the sea hands out on its own terms.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates discretion, hospitality, and open-handed generosity through engaging stories that families will enjoy reading again and again. These are quiet, thoughtful tales for older readers who appreciate restraint, moral weight, and quiet literary craft.
This volume includes four complete novellas:
- Muddy Boots at the Door
- The Steep Hill
- One Extra Mile
- Full Basket, Empty Hands
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.
