I actually don't think I have ever read any of the American Girl books, though I did have the doll (who never managed to stay clean in her nice dresses). These are a lot different than those, in the sense that they give you an in person view of what life was during certain time periods. Not too hard to read and provide an interesting insight and stir up an interest in learning more about life. This one was my favorite and it's about a girl and her family going out west on the Oregon trail: http://www.amazon.com/Across-Wide-Lonesome-Prairie-Campbell/dp/0590226517/ref=cm_lmf_tit_9 and the rest of the books are here: http://www.amazon.com/Dear-America-Books/lm/R87F1LOP1KXMF
The Cleopatra on is part of a royal series showing what it was like to be a princess in different countries in different time periods. Here is the Cleopatra one: http://www.amazon.com/Cleopatra-Vii-Daughter-Diaries-America/dp/B007IALO8C
They're really neat and were fun to read as a kid because it shows that you can relate and that you could have survived in these different situations, plus they also deal with mundane life, the cute boy next store and the annoying little sister, while dealing with a major part of history. Pretty empowering for a young girl to read.

Seeing this painting triggered a memory from my childhood of a particular book cover. In the comments I was able to find the name of the painting (“The Broken Pitcher” by William Bouguereau- I can’t find that particular comment now, otherwise I’d link to it directly). Through a quick search, I’m pretty sure this is the portrait on the cover of “Across the Wild and Lonesome Prairie” from the Dear America series, which I loved as a kid. Thoughts? Anyone else remember these books?
Short quick Jr. school read: Call it courage by armsrong sperry.
https://www.amazon.com/Call-Courage-Armstrong-Sperry/dp/0689713916
One of my favorites when I was a kid.
This wasn't it but it was something similar. Apparently my grandma used to read it to my mom and she read it to us. I can't find the exact book as I don't remember the title exactly. Is it true that Cerberus really means "spot"?
I found this kid's book about Francis Drake: https://www.amazon.com/Sir-Francis-Drake-Daring-Deeds/dp/0374466882
Edit: also maybe some night vision goggles, a kid's flashlight, or some walkie talkies. Those all seem like adventurer's equipment.
Heroes Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths
Wizardology: The Book of the Secrets of Merlin
Celtic Myths and Legends
Tales of Ancient Egypt
Plus the ones already mentioned: Arabian Nights, Aesops Fable, Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy Tales.
You might also want to consider Rick Riordan's, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series.
Does it take place during the period of the Oregon Trail? If so it may be Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie. It's part of the Dear America series of books.
