The children in our book club range fro...Hi Sarah,<br /><br />The children in our book club range from 9-14. We're fewer in number this year, but sometimes we still offer two different book options for different reading ages. For example, when we recently read James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small, the younger children read James Herriot's Treasury for Children. (I haven't blogged about that Book Club yet, but it was terrifically fun!) A good alternative to The Hiding Place is Geoff and Janet Benge's biography of Corrie ten Boom which is part of the Christian Heroes Then and Now series. One of the younger children in our group listened to that book, and we read it aloud in my family a few years ago.<br /><br />I asked for opinions from the other moms in my group, and they agreed that 10 and up was probably a good recommendation for the Hiding Place. My youngest is 12, and I think that is about the age his older siblings were when they read The Hiding Place.<br /><br />And speaking of amazing field trips - I am so inspired as I read the places you take your family to places I only dream about!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407636240006454920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-54505694714545011902015-12-15T17:53:03.760-05:002015-12-15T17:53:03.760-05:00That sounds like an amazing trip and so many thing...That sounds like an amazing trip and so many things to think about/discuss arising from this.<br /> What sort of age are the children in the book club? I run a home education book club and at some point, we are due to cover Europe. The Hiding Place would be an ideal book but I am a bit concerned that it may be too old for 8-11s. Do you have a view on that?<br />DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.com
