My partner's son is 10, and we pulled him out after second grade. For third grade, he did ancient history with SOTW. For fourth grade, he did early American history with WP AS1 and a few supplements to catch him up to modern times. For fifth grade (this year), he's done an overview of world history with The Story of Mankind. Between all three years, he's had a full and thorough course in world geography, too, using Audio Memory.
So, I'm looking at next year thinking, "What to do?" My LCC book is on loan, too, and I won't have it back 'till next week, but the recs are changing anyway. I'm thinking Middle Ages, because some homeschoolers in our local group (and friends) will be on that part of the cycle next year. I want him to continue having classical studies every year, though. So . . . what five excellent history, biography, geography, classical studies and literature books would you recommend? (He reads well and quickly; Piers Anthony is his favorite author.)
