How These Outdoor Adventure Books Got My Son Off Screens and Into Reading — Without a Single Argument

By Jessica M. | Written by a Real Mom Who Was Losing the Battle with Screens

Last Updated May 5, 2025

I’m not proud to admit it, but screentime had taken over our house. My 9-year-old used to love reading, building forts, and playing outside. But lately? Every spare minute was spent locked onto a screen — tablet, TV, phone, didn’t matter.

When I tried to cut it back, it turned into a war zone: meltdowns, negotiations, even sneaking time when I wasn’t looking.

Then something unexpected happened.

My sister (a second-grade teacher) gave us a set of books she swore her students were obsessed with.

So what makes these books different?

Here are the 7 reasons why moms (and kids) can’t stop talking about this outdoor adventure series — and why I wish we’d found it sooner.

✅ 1. Kids Actually Want to Read Them

These stories are fast-paced, fun, and packed with outdoor adventure.

They’re not slow or preachy. They feel like real-life quests: kayaking, camping, treasure hunting, even wildlife tracking.

And each chapter ends on a cliffhanger, so your kid wants to keep going.

✅ 2. They Break the Screentime Spell

The biggest surprise? My son started choosing these books over his iPad.

They gave him the same sense of excitement and discovery — but without the glazed-over stare.

Instead of scrolling, he started sketching maps and pretending he was on the adventures himself.

✅ 3. Perfect for Ages 6–12
(Even Reluctant Readers)

The writing is simple but smart.

Short chapters, fun dialogue, and illustrations that pull kids in — even if they normally hate reading.

It’s great for independent reading, or for reading together at bedtime (which turned out to be my favorite part).

✅ 4. They Sneak In Life Lessons

Courage. Friendship. Problem-solving. Helping others.

Each story naturally weaves in values without feeling like a “lesson book.”

My son even started pointing out when he acted like Lucky Luke — the main character — in real life. Win.

✅ 5. They Reconnect Kids with Nature

Even if you live in an apartment or don’t go camping, these books plant the seed for outdoor curiosity.

One morning my son asked if we could go birdwatching. That’s a first.

✅ 6. Written by a Real Outdoorsman

Kevin Lovegreen isn’t just some guy writing stories for kids.

He’s an award-winning author, speaker, and lifelong outdoorsman who’s been hunting, fishing, and exploring since he was a kid himself.

Through school visits, camps, and community events, he’s inspired thousands of young readers to fall in love with nature — and with reading.

That passion jumps off every page. You can feel the authenticity in the stories, because Kevin’s lived this stuff.

Kids connect with Lucky Luke because Kevin writes from experience, not imagination. And parents love knowing the man behind the books walks the walk.

✅ 7. It’s More Than a Set of Books — It’s a Gift to Their Future Self

This bundle isn’t just 19 books.

It’s 19 ready-made adventures.

19 chances to bond.

19 ways to say: I believe in your imagination more than your screen.

When you get the full set, you’re not just solving the “what do we read next?” problem — you’re setting up a daily ritual that builds confidence, curiosity, and calm in your home. You're investing in quiet moments, big ideas, and a habit that could shape your child for life.

And honestly? You’re giving yourself the feeling every parent craves:

“I’m doing this right.”

That’s what this bundle gave me.
