Jewish Girls Around the World book series

These are fantastic books for our daughters. They teach Jewish and world history, mitzvot and middot, and are fun to read aloud (sometimes giving voice to the characters in the appropriate foreign accent). The mystery in each book is well written, and we hunt for clues as we read and discuss together, and heroine always touches our hearts.
