Book #1: Adventure In Yosemite National Park
Are you ready and excited to dive into the wonderful world of the Sterling Family? Jason's debut children's book series is here!
Discover the 63 National Parks
Join the Sterling Family, as they travel to all 63 National Parks in the U.S. and discover the history, science, and nature of our great nation. Theo & Titus Sterling discover mysterious spectacles and are given the task of saving the National Parks. Your whole family will enjoy this fun & quirky fiction series while you all learn together.
Age Range: We've designed this series to be an excellent read aloud for the whole family. Kids ages 12 and under will enjoy it most (although we've heard from teens who loved listening in too!). The books are early chapter books and are good for reading independently for grades 2-3 and above.
To homeschool families: We are a very Charlotte Mason family here. We didn't want to produce twaddle. We wanted a series that would enrich and challenge your kids. So you'll notice more advanced vocabulary and nature concepts - this is on purpose! We want these books to be a jumping off point for further research and education, all done in a fun and exciting way! 😍

"This book is written in such a realistic, fun way that we were able to put ourselves into the story. My 9-year-old didn’t think of the book as an “educational book” even though we learned a lot. Instead he views it as an adventure book for kids." - Maria C and Cameron (age 9)

What is the Adventure Guide?
The truly magical thing about this book series is how it blends a fun and quirky fiction story with learning and sparking a curiosity about the world in your kids. You will learn about how the National Parks were formed, the nature, science, and history of each National Park and more!
So when you are reading, you are going to wonder what is real and what is fiction in the series. You are going to wonder if Teddy Roosevelt really said that. You'll be inspired to check out the real places within the parks. And you'll want to know more about the nature and science that the twins encounter.
You might even want to visit that park for yourself one day and want to know all the best tips and hikes with kids. Well, we've got you covered.
Whether you are a homeschooling family, or you just have some curious kids who love to learn, our PDF Adventure Guide is what you need.
The Adventure Guide for each book gives you all of that. We will dive into the formation of each park, sorting through the fact and fiction of each book, and learn more exciting things about the flora and fauna of each park. You'll even learn more about the growth of our great country in the process. We will also have a section in the book for those visiting the park in person with all of our tips for visiting.
