I remember the unique joy of reading well enough to pick up a chapter book for the first time and read on my own. I’d anticipate finding the next illustration, then moving on to the next chapter, and checking my progress to see how close I was to completing the book and how much I’d already read.
I read some marvelous classic chapter books and probably some junky ones as well, but I didn’t have access to the wonderful Catholic books I’ve been able to offer my children. One or more of them have read many of these books already.

Ah, I think I did hear of those! Thanks for mentioning them.
I came here to say the same thing! The Gospel Time Trekkers are great.
Also, the Sister Seraphina Mysteries, by Haley Stewart. They aren’t exactly chapter books, but they are much longer than a standard picture book, and the reading level is closer to that of a chapter book. The pictures are so cute!
I love the Sister Seraphina mysteries too! I’ll have to do an updated post with some books released and since I wrote this one. Thanks for your suggestions!
