Book review: Wright in Time Book 3 Wyoming


     My 12 year old daughter and 7 year old son both enjoyed this series. We got to visit Wyoming when we vacationed last fall, but Aiden and Nadia explored much more of the state than we were able to see. (We didn't make it to Yellowstone.) My children enjoyed reading about this homeschooling family's continued adventures. This chapter book continues the story of the Wright family as shared in the previous books Arizona and Utah.

     The Wright On Time series by Lisa M. Cottrell-Bentley continues with the Wright family's travels in Wyoming. Through the Wright family’s experiences you are exposed to attractions, terrain, animals, and more found in each state. A map is shared that includes facts and features about the state, too. This book shares the  children's explorations combined with their Dad's alternative energy work for an educational tale. The glossary in this one is extensive.

     Tanja Bauerle's illustrations again captured the kid's attention. Her drawing of the typical hydroelectric dam helped it be more understandable. My children are continuing to enjoy the stories about this family that is travelling through all 50 states in an RV. 

     Read about the whole series at their website: http://www.wrightontimebooks.com/. They even have character biographies, games, and a section for RV families.

About the Author
Lisa M. Cottrell-BentleyLisa M. Cottrell-Bentley has been writing since she was a child, winning her first writing contest at age 9. Lisa and her daughters spent many hours searching for children’s books about homeschoolers, but found very few. So, they decided to create their own. As they discussed their dream storylines, the Wright on Time series took shape. Beginning in their native southwest, the Wright family intends to take readers on a fun road trip that explores the entire USA!
