HHM Team Member Review…

Since we started homeschooling our children 6 years ago, I have been on the look out for books about homeschoolers. Now I am talking about an actual fiction story, as opposed to a non-fiction resource! Well, I am happy to report that I have discovered the Wright on Time series!

In this highly engaging series, written by homeschool mom Lisa M.Cottrell-Bentley, for homeschoolers, you will go on adventures with Nadia, Aidan, and their parents as they travel the 50 states in their family RV. Each novel explores a different state, beginning with Arizona.

Right from the beginning I learned something new! The family rents a cave to explore for the day. Who knew you could do such a thing? As they explore the cave, the kids each have different objectives they are hoping to fulfill. Nadia is into adding to her rocks/minerals collection and Aidan is dying to see some bats.

In the process of exploring they discover a mysterious “device” that none of the family members can identify. I wonder what it might be, and how they will discover it’s purpose? You (and I) will have to continue to read the series as this mystery unfolds beyond just Book 1 (as well as two and three!).

The Wright on Time series is a fun, family friendly read. Each book would make a great unit study for homeschoolers; from learning about each state, to doing the lapbook that was created for them, to learning more about the activities/experiences the family encounters along the way.

In Book 1 this would include the state of Arizona, rocks & minerals and bats. Book 2 takes you on a dinosaur dig in Utah where you can extend your learning by digging deeper into the world of dinosaurs. Book 3 takes you to Wyoming where the family explores the earth, water, and air energies. Then in Book 4, the most recently published book, you will travel to South Dakota where the family encounters a whole lot of motorcycles and learns how a newspaper is printed.

I recommend this book to all families, whether you homeschool or not. This is a great way to travel the United States, and learn so much along the way, without ever having to leave your home!

Heidi is a 34 year old, happily married wife to one self proclaimed computer geek. Through their 13 years of marriage they have added 3 children: Chloe (12), Jayden (8), and Ava (5), as well as 2 dogs: Muffin and Oscar, to the mix. When not totally engrossed in homeschooling, or taxi service for the children Heidi likes to read, blog at Starts At Eight, and chronicle their lives in photos, as well as working at new hand projects like gardening, knitting, and crochet. You can also catch her on Twitter, and Facebook!

I’ve been hearing about these books for about a year now (though I didn’t know there were four out now)…and was wanting to see about getting them…not only because we will be homeschooling our little boy, but because we plan to be living full-time in our RV in a few years. Would love a chance to win!!

  52. My 9yo daughter and I would love to read these aloud! They sound amazing!
    I shared about the contest on FB, too.

  68. The author of this book used to attend a homeschool group we belong to in Tucson, AZ. She’s a really smart, fun woman and I would love to read her books. With a newly adopted son, our finances are pretty tight so we won’t be purchasing these at this time. But it would be great to win them, read them, and then share them with others in our homeschool group.

  69. Wow!
    I would love to win these books!!

  78. Someone in my social group mentioned these books recently but u haven’t had time to search for them! My 9 year old is bored with his social studies do I was thinking about starting a study of the 50 states…this would spark an interest maybe!

  80. I would love to get these for my 7 year old son! He loves science and exploring so these would be fantastic for him! We will also be homeschooling him starting in January, so I am sure he would be thrilled to read about other homeschooling children 🙂

  85. I have a first grade daughter who is still grasping the concept of the different states that make up the United States. We are going to visit Arizona and Utah next year, so what an amazing start these books would be to get her familiar with those different states! I love how the books covers different topics (for example she loves bats so the arizona book would be very interesting for her!) II am just thinking about the fun lapbooks we can do based on these books!

  88. My boys would love reading about the adventures of this homeschooling family. It would be awesome to learn new things about all the states and do little unit studies :0).
