Free e-Books for a Limited Time

Parents and students,

For a limited time only you may enjoy reading some free e-books from the Capstone Co. There are 456 titles from which to choose. There are several for younger children, so I plan on letting my own son take advantage of this until it ends. To me, it seems most of the 456 selected titles are geared toward boys. Enjoy!
