Family reading time

After reading a large number of Christian biographies together, we have picked up a fictional series which Grant and Linda gave to Eden for her birthday. She has read them, but enjoys listening to me reading them a second time around, and it is so much fun for all the others to get to hear it too. The first book was extremely gripping for us all, albeit very scary towards the end. The second book is quite surreal and I can understand how Eden gets more out of me reading, and stopping along the way with explanation. We haven't got to the third one yet.
And Eden, Niamh and Ciara love to draw while I read, so they get lots of practice nearly every night.
Pirates, by Eden.
Swan, by Eden.
