Augustine Came to Kent

by Barbara Willard is a wonderful book. I recommend this book as both a read-aloud and a read-to-yourself. It is about a boy named Wolf, Wolf's father, some monks, and the Saxons of Kent.

More Books from the Book Nook

The Boxcar Children: The Choclate Sundae Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner
The Boxcar Children: Treehouse Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner

I really enjoyed these books. I would recommend them for both mystery lovers and non-mystery lovers.
