involving adventure told with love and

What a
Great Storyteller!
I highly recommend Maggie Houston: My Father's Honor. It
is a book you will want to read from beginning to end, and then
wish there was more. This would be a great addition to any
homeschool library. It's not often you get to read a story from
the perspective of a 12-year old. I will keep watching for other
books by Jane Cook - what a great storyteller.

Consultant, The
Old Schoolhouse Magazine
Readable...Conversational
Very readable, Jane Cook's style is conversational and even more
appealing for elementary children since it's told from the
perspective of a child. --Deborah Deggs Cariker, Eclectic

Best
Historical Fiction I've Ever Read!
"This book is full of history. The author has done her
research. Jane made me want to know more about Sam Houston and
the history that my city holds. Our children now have a picture
of what it was like back in the 1800's. The kids wonder if
Maggie Houston and her family walked where they had just walked.
Were they walking in the same place the Houston's did many years
ago. Each chapter ends with you wanting to know more. Maggie
Houston, My Father's Honor is beautifully bound. Ready to be
shared with everyone. We totally enjoyed this book! We are ready
for more like this."
--Trish, a parent
