June Collins I have just finished reading Chickenhawk by Robert Mason. I read it several years ago but the story is so powerful that I kept the book and have now read it twice. To anyone interested in the Vietnam War, helicopter flying, or the effect of war on young people, I strongly recommend this gripping story.

Leila Summers June, I'm busy reading your book, Goodbye Junie Moon, and I'm loving it! I'll write a review when I finish it! x Leila
