Were they truly novels, or did they more closely resembled an exapanded 'comic book'? Capstone Press and Redbrick share a series of wonderful graphics tied to social studies and science themes. Kids LOVE them. Capstone and Rebrick are sister companies, with the first marketing to retail and the second marketing to education. National Geographic has swallowed Redbrick up and gone are the days when I could negotiate dandy deals on the books. However, for whatever reason Capstone was not swallowed and they still share titles...I purchased a large number of these books through our local bookstore at a 20% savings and avoided shipping. Granted, we were buying LOTS...
