What happens when Noel is transported to a delightful Victorian Christmas Village?

She discovers a world more wonderful and delightful than ever imagined. Noel is taken in by the kindly Goforth family of Sunshine Cottage and helps them keep Christmas surprises. These simple delights are upset when the prince mysteriously disappears. As Noel and her friends search for him, their efforts reveal a villain and an evil plot, which will require all their courage to overcome.

This story, written in vintage style, explores the themes of love, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and the true Christmas spirit.

History Is Not Boring!

What is history anyway? It is the story of real people who did real things. For history to be fun for everyone (even those who think they hate history), it must go beyond hard facts and meaningless dates to the real people who made the significant events happen. People like George Washington, who bravely crossed the partly frozen Delaware River to attack the British at Trenton. Stories like that of the bold Americans who bravely fought against the Barbary pirates during the little-known Barbary War show how interesting history is.

What others are saying about Uncover Exciting History

“Amy Puetz always finds the ‘story’ to tell about her person or event in history.” -Dr. Ruth Beechick

“How did a pirate help Americans win the Battle of New Orleans? How did a conscientious objector capture 132 Germans? Who developed a code language that was never broken during WWII?
“Story-telling is the greatest way to excite people about history, and Amy Puetz loves to tell stories. With vocabulary suited to middle-grade children, the whole family will enjoy Uncover Exciting History as they gather ’round for family reading time. Each six-page story closes with Digging Deeper, a selection of discussion questions and project ideas to personalize the story. Period photos and maps enhance the book even more. Uncover Exciting History is a great resource for Christian families and those who yearn to see God’s hand behind American history.”
-Marcia Washburn Building Tomorrow’s Generation at marciawashburn.com

“Amy Puetz has a gift for history. Avoiding the dryness of excessive detail, Amy brings out the essence of other times and distant places, taking us along on the journey to meet famous generals, intrepid explorers, and common, everyday people who made their mark on our world. This collection of sketches isn’t meant to be an in-depth study of world history. Instead, you’ll find the collection a great way to introduce the reluctant historian in your family to the excitement and drama of the past. Short enough to be read easily and quickly, yet informative enough to give your kids a good overview of historical events, these narratives are the perfect way to whet your children’s appetites for learning about history. Even better, they’re written from a Christian perspective, giving your children an appreciation for God’s providential hand in world history. Highly recommended!”
-Jonathan Lewis

Each chapter in this book reads like an exciting work of fiction, yet is based on fact. These men lived lives of adventure and it’s fitting that their stories should be told with all the drama of a great story. Men and boys alike will relate to the thrilling experiences portrayed in these pages. Numerous illustrations help bring the stories to life. There are several maps that make looking up the locations a breeze.

Circumnavigate the globe with Sir Francis Drake, spread the gospel in Africa with David Livingstone, survive the wilds of Jamestown with Captain John Smith, discover the New World with Christopher Columbus, penetrate the wilderness with Daniel Boone, explore the Arctic with Sir John Franklin, capture Mexico with Hernán Cortes, fight the British with John Paul Jones, search for gold with Hernando De Soto, and secure Italy’s freedom with Giuseppe Garibaldi. In this book, you will meet ten great adventurers from history.

Shouts of hope are the last thing the street boy Tor expects to hear as he trudges through mundane Jerusalem begging for food. After a confrontation with Pontius Pilate, he receives a horrible wound. His life seems empty and lonely when shouts of the Savior are heard. Will this Jesus be able to right the wrongs of Tor’s past?

When Tor discovers that Judas is part of a conspiracy to kill Jesus he tries desperately to save him. Will Tor be able to rescue Jesus?

This would be a wonderful story to read aloud during Easter. Recommended for ages 8 to adult.

A tragic accident leaves fun-loving Jill and good-natured Jack cooped up for months. During this time they learn some valuable lessons and are cheered up by their friends. Jill and her two friends begin a missionary society, while Jack helps a troubled youth stay on the straight and narrow. Louisa May Alcott has done an excellent job of showing the real life of children during the 1800s. Originally published in 1880 this timeless tale is just as inspiring and enjoyable today as when it was first written.

About the Author
Louisa May Alcott was born in 1832. She was an imaginative child who loved to make up stories. During the American Civil War she served as a nurse. In 1863 she wrote about her experiences in Hospital Sketches. Her real success came a few years later with the publication of Little Women in 1868. From that time until her death in 1888 she continued to write books for children.

“Miss Alcott has a faculty of entering into the lives and feelings of children that is conspicuously wanting in most writers who address them.” ~Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, author of Mary Had a Little Lamb

“A book superior to Little Women! Louisa May Alcott was a rare author who truly made the lives of children come to life. This is one of her rare treasures that needs to be discovered by a whole new generation of boys and girls.” ~ Amy Puetz Fox, author of Uncover Exciting History
