Four weeks before the picnic day baseball game against the Lawson Lions, Ralph Jackson has deserted Brookfield School. His friends Trent, Wilmer and Harley aren't happy about it, and receive heckling from their classmates. Matters worsen when Archibald Brewster, the new kid who wears suits and arrives to school via chauffer, shows up and won't go away. Over the following weeks, the Brookfield Bumblebees learn that not everything is what it seems.

"Sonlight has been a blessing to our family," says Carla P of Upper Marlboro, MD. "The living books bring so much joy and depth to our homeschool days. The best part of Sonlight is that it fosters deep and meaningful interaction and bonds, along with a great education. Being a military family, we move a lot, and it helps our kids adjust to bring their old 'friends' (books) with them!" Pictured, Ava (9) celebrates Box Day. The P family has been homeschooling for five years, Sonighting for two.

"We were drawn to Sonlight because we love the books and reading together," writes Megan S of Santa Rosa, CA, "but the Book of Time and the way history is put into place by the collective curriculum was a revelation for me.

"I have learned so much right alongside my children! And my babies learn daily with their older sisters. It's an all-around win. We thank God for bringing Sonlight into our lives."

Here, Megan's daughter Alheli (4) hugs her Book of Time as she joyfully realizes that she'll be doing her very own timeline work! Her sisters Ellen (7) and Olin (4) look at their own treasures during their family's fifth Box Day."Alheli has been listening to her older sisters' Sonlight readings since she was a baby," Megan said. "This year, as we opened the box, she said 'Hey, look! A new timeline book!' When I told her it was hers to use, she pulled it out with awe and kissed it. I love that one of her growing-up milestones will be her use of the timeline that she's watched her sisters diligently fill throughout her life. It's a page in her very own story."

"We chose Sonlight because Amelia (5) and Edith (3) have always loved reading," writes Amanda F of Stockdale, NC. "Our Sonlight boxes arrived, and Amelia immediately began to flip through her new books. Her curiosity made her eager to start kindergarten! The program has beyond lived up to my expectations. I love that all the hard work has already been done for me; I simply open my Instructor's Guide and go! Amelia's 3-year-old sister Edith loves participating in school with Amelia. Science has been their favorite subject because of the experiments, and Edith feels so grown up doing the same assignments as Amelia."
