I\\\’d love to own the Green Ember: Lost Tales series — The Lost Key, The Lost Legend, and The Lost Cause. My family would enjoy reading these together. Entering the October giveaway!
My daughter would love the Lost Tales!
Just started Green Ember – can\’t wait to read them all!
We own the whole Lost Tales series so would love to gift that to someone! But would also be ecstatic to add the other two series to our personal library!
I\’d love to own the Green Ember: Lost Tales series — the brand-new release sounds fantastic!
No socials: Old Natalia!!
The creed of Natalia should be the creed of all, and it starts at home with tales of truth woven into a cloak of courage.
P.S. There are no resume \”gaps\” for the homeschool parent. Rather, there are dozens of \”careers\” multipled by lifetimes of lived experience. While misunderstood and under-appreciated this side of heaven, this \”lesser path\” traveled is simultaneously the rockiest road yet the most beautiful blessing!
No socials — I\’d love to own the Old Natalia series. Thank you for the giveaway!
We’d be most excited to finally get started on the Lost Tales books!
My kids would love to own all three series. My kids read a lot, and TGE is a top favorite. However, none of these series are in our house. We have heard some of the audiobooks in the car, but there’s something different about holding the book in your hand.
We\’d love to own them all, but the Lost Tales have a slight edge. What a giveaway!
Lost tales! Our family would love to read that!
My son would love the Archer series. Jo is one of his favorite characters!
When ever I read this series aloud I have to make sure our schedule is clear. There is no setting this series down for long. They want to be read to while they eat their meals or between school subjects or for dessert.
I\\\\\\\’d love any of these to gift to members of our homeschool co-op
I vote the Old Natalia series because I really liked Prince Lander in the Black Star of Kingston.
My family would love the Lost Tales series!! Or any of the series, really. We love Green Ember!
I have social media but all my settings are private, but I would love to win The Lost Tales for my son, he loves the whole Green Ember series!
I would love to own the Green Ember Archers series. Archers Cup is one of my favorite Green Ember books.
We would love the Old Natalia series, to learn more about the history of Rabbitkind. We just purchased the new series and we know a fan friend who we could gift it to!
Lost Tales!
We’d love the Archer series! I’d enjoy reading them to my son – we like Jo!

What a wonderful giveaway. We would love to own the compete set of books. For the most part my children have enjoyed them from the local public library. It would be amazing to have the sets in our own library, for lending and rereading to our heart\’s content.
I love the Archer series! My teenage son is reading the whole series for the first time and he\’d love all of them!
Hard to pick which one is our favorite series, we love them all. We love the archery series because the kids and I enjoy archery, but the lost cause series is awesome as well. Funny story about a Helmer quote: traveling through Canada this summer and was asked at the border if we have any weapons with us. One of my kids quietly says “yes, everything is a weapon”. Great books to listen to and enjoy in our read aloud homeschool sessions. (Still avoiding a social media platform in this day and age)
I’d love to own all of them, but The Lost Tales series sounds like a great next read for my son (and the rest of our family), since we already know and love the main characters!
The Lost Tales would be great.
No socials — we would to own ANY of them but if we had to choose one… the Old Natalia series. Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love to own the lost tales, we have the other two, so this would complete the set!
Oh yay! Our kids have loved listening to the audiobooks but gifting them the physical copies for Christmas would be a dream!
