I just finished reading The Moffats via Audible. We also have Kindle and a paperback copy, as well as, Audible. I believe, this is one of the Memoria Press read-aloud selections. Third Grade, I think. My daughter read it last year, but I never really got around to it until now. The premise seems so sad, but the book overall is not. The main little character Jane and her siblings endure quite a few adventures and there are some tongue-in-cheek laughs as well. I will be looking to read or listen to more in the series.

My 10-year-old wishes there were more details on where they lived after they had to leave "the little yellow house" as her only complain, so I think she is in for a sequel as well.

We bought our copies based on Memoria Press recommendations. Check out Memoria Press curriculum reviews on my Creative Madness Mama blog and use the affiliate coupon code "cherryblossom" to make a purchase from MP to let them know I sent you.
