My husband works overnight, so he reads to the children on his nights off.

The Crimson Cross series by Peter Marshall:

The Crimson Cross series is inspired by a mysterious silver and ruby cross, a precious relic of the Holy Land, originally given to Christopher Columbus before his epic voyage of discovery. In each volume it is passed on to a young hero or heroine who has proven to be worthy of it. As they play a crucial role in dramatic moments of America’s history, they face difficult choices and challenges – not unlike those confronting today's youth.                                 ~ From the website
