We did Adam of the Road this year with our unit study (A World of Adventure) and we really enjoyed it. To be perfectly honest, I was surprised how much we enjoyed some of the literature choices in that curriculum as they didn't sound like something my girls would enjoy at all. We had a lot of fun tracking Adam's adventures on a map and trying to imagine what it must have been like to live the life of a minstrel. I hope your daughter enjoys it as much as we did.
