I thought the Wilderking trilogy by Jonathan Rodgers was a really good series. It is from a Christian perspective and takes the story of David and Goliath into a different world and time. Aidan finds his way to the throne through a series of very Davidic events. It also includes a very fantastic realm and a sort of mystery in the Feechie Fen and the Feechie Folk. I think this book is very well written and imaginative. It held our attention well through each book. My preschoolers enjoyed listening to the parts I read out loud and I am pretty sure they would listen to the whole thing read in parts, as enthralled as they were. The only place I know to buy them is on Amazon and they are reasonably priced. I would suggest them as a good summer read for boys and girls. Although older kids will enjoy them as a fast read, younger kids in third, fourth and fifth grade will enjoy them quite a bit. Good readers at second grade could enjoy them because it is content friendly for this young as well. It is well worth the read.
