Book Series for Christian Kids
I often get the question, “Do you have any suggestions for Christian book series?” And while I am not aware of ALL that’s available in this genre, I do have some series that have been a hit in our household!
Some of these books are not explicitly Christian, but have strong Christian themes or are heavily influenced by Christian thought.

Four Book Series for Christian Kids
Spirit Flyer Series
These beloved books by John Bibee have been around for many years! The first book of this eight-book series was written in 1983 and is called the Magic Bicycle. Until recently, these books were hard to find. But recently they have gone into print again and you can easily find them on Amazon. The Spirit Flyer books are full of adventure and Christian allegory. My son LOVED these books.
Ideal age range: 4th-7th grade
Growly Series
The Growly Series follows the adventures of a young coming-of-age bear named Growly. They are not specifically “Christian” books but are wholesome, well-written, and will captivate the adventure-seeking reader. There are five books in this series. The first three books comprise the “Growly Trilogy”. These include Begin, Widewater, and Morning. You could also choose to start with either the 4th or 5th book, as stand-alone books.
Ideal age range: 8-12 years
Green Ember Series
My 11-year-old son is in the middle of reading this series right now and cannot put them down! These books follow the adventures of two young rabbits, Heather and Picket. While not specifically Christian, there are Christian themes throughout the book – friendship, redemption, sacrifice to name a few! This nine-book (and growing!) series is considered to be a favorite among many readers, and lots of families love it as a read-aloud.
Ideal age range: 8+
The Amazing Tales of Max and Liz & Epic Order of the Seven
Jenny L. Cote has masterfully crafted the genre of Christian Historical Fiction. The first series: ‘The Amazing Tales of Max and Liz’, includes two books and takes you through many of the events that take place in the book of Genesis, from an animal’s point of view. 🙂
Then her next series: ‘Epic Order of the Seven’ continues the journey of Max and Liz – starting with the birth of Christ, and then moving through the New Testament. And following that, their adventures cover the American Revolution (basically starting another series within a series!) We are anxiously waiting for her next book which is to be released next year in 2022!
This captivating series is perfect for animal lovers AND history buffs! When we are studying history during our morning time, I am often impressed by how much history my son has already learned from these books.
Ideal age range: 10 +
