DrSpalding Historical fiction is the correct genre and these could be read as early as second grade for some higher level readers. Self-regulation could work. Using the Scholastic website is an excellent resource. 4y

Another great installment in this series! The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 swept in fast and furious and Leo and Morris are caught out on the streets at the wrong time. Luckily they survive and help a few others as well. Leo's grandfather was an east coast transplant during the Gold Rush and that survivalist spirit helps him through.

I just bought this for my nephew and wanted to check it out. I ended up reading it all tonight and think it was very interesting. Historical fiction with tons of facts at the end. Recommended for 4th-5th graders. Really cool! This series has a ton of historical events!
