I bought the book for my neice who is 8 years old and just finished 2nd grade. She didn't really like to read before. She didn't find
books that were her reading level or were scary or boring. She loved the characters, the stories, and the reading level (8-12 yrs) helped her to improve her reading. She loves to read it before bed every night. Books 1-6 are about a group of kids who develop a bond because of their location (in a culdesac). They become close friends who encourage, uplift, sometimes argue, and promise to take care of each other when there is a problem. Not all the culdesac kids are Christians. The stories usually teach a biblical topic and show how God is ever present in our lives. Some of the culdesac kids share Christ with the others. These books are great for starting a discussion about issues and concerns most kids have. I recommend this series to anyone who wants to encourage reading in their child and wants to feel secure that their child will not be reading anything questionable.

The Cul-de-sac Kids Books 1-6 (Boxed Set)
I was so excited to find christian based chapter books for my third-grader - especially with all the positive reviews, however I did not expect my child to be reading about Attention Deficit. One of the characters, Jason Birchall, has Attention Deficit and there are many references to "his pills." Book #4 "No Grown-ups Allowed" deals with this subject. While this is a growing problem among children, it was not something I was prepared for and didn't feel it was appropriate for my child at this stage in his life. Book #5, "Frog Power," references divorce - also something else I wasn't expecting. I didn't think I would need to worry about giving my child these books, but I guess you should always be on guard as to what you allow into your child's life.

My eight-year-old is required to do three book reports each week and that can be overwhelming. But the Cul-de-Sac Kids series is a great way to overcome that. The books are entertaining to my child. They do a great service by bridging that gap between easy, babyish books with no real plot and longer, harder books, like Harry Potter. They are easy to understand and read without being simplistic and boring. We have really enjoyed them!

Come join the kids of Blossom Hill Lane as they unravel mysteries, make new friends and have great fun.
These wholesome books are easy to read with likeable characters and kid-friendly plots.
With 24 in the series there's plenty of good reading available.

I bought two of these books at a book fair from my son's school for my 8 year old. I wasn't really sure about them at first, but with titles such as Pickle Pizza and Frog Power, I had to investigate. I was happily surprised at how fun these books are. I was even more surprised when, after buying the boxed sets of 1-6 and 7-12, my 11 and 14 year olds told me I needed to buy more.

These books are fun to read and for my 8 year old who struggles with reading, these books keep him engaged. I find he trys to read more of it himself as opposed to asking me to read it to him. Now I only get to read a small portion and he gets the big paragraphs!

These stories are fun for kids with a good moral base. My girls love them.

i love reading beverly lewis myself so when i found these for kids i thought i would get them for my 8 year old daughter she absolutly loves them! she has read the first 5 already and shes had them about a month and shes already asking for the next set

My 7 year old daughter got these for Christmas and has read 2 so far and LOVES them. She can't wait to finish and start another book. I love the Christian values it teaches. Recommend this set to anyone!!!!

I was disappointed. My grandkids really weren't interested in the books at all. They are 6 and 8 years old, Christian and good readers.

This giftset was given as a gift to our grandson for Christmas. He loves to read, and we thought we would give him some more advanced books than he has had in the past. So, we don't know much about the books, other than what we read before we purchased it, and on the outside of the gift set box. But, he has been so excited to read them, and a week after Christmas, he had already read completely 4 books of the 6. He loved them.
