By Patryk Kosmider | Shutterstock Books! Good books help form a person’s character, and a novel about a Catholic family is a gift to last a lifetime. We recommend Hilda Van Stockum’s wonderful Mitchells series , consisting of three books: The Mitchells: Five for Victory , Canadian Summer , and Friendly Gables . And every Catholic kid should read the thrilling classic Outlaws of Ravenhurst . You can find lots of other great ideas over at Good Books for Catholic Kids and Bethlehem Books .
