Like most storytellers, Sally Felt is an adventurer at heart. Six foot tall and insatiably curious, Sally has spent the night in some odd places—in a hammock, on a riverboat, in a convent and in a whorehouse. She’s waded barefoot in the Mississippi and swum in the Amazon.

Her formative teen years included a student exchange to Middle Earth (aka, New Zealand) and a summer working as a chore girl on a dude ranch.

These days, Sally makes wishes on the new moon, refuses to dye her silver hair, enjoys fine sipping tequila and hopes to inherit her mother’s laugh. She’s also a decent Wii bowler.

Loved the setting and the details of fishing, and the making of tools and canoes, but the story was basic and the narrative lacked any nuance.

You know the principle called Chekhov’s gun? If there’s a gun in the the first scene of the narrative, it needs to go off by the end? Yeah, that.

Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski

I enjoyed the details of rural daily life surrounded by piney woods and palmetto in what was essentially frontier conditions. The heat, the storms, the bickering over fencing rights — it all painted a vivid scene.

Lincoln by Russell Freedman

Works well as a biography written for children. I enjoyed the photos and engravings from the contemporary media. Still, I didn't learn anything new. I was also disappointed the author didn't mention that Lincoln included political enemies in his Cabi ...more

This nuanced portrait of a troubled family takes us on a journey of not only Dicey’s internal struggle, but those of her siblings and her Gram. I appreciated that Gram is not the warm fuzzy maternal presence it would be all too common to find in this ...more

If you’re at all curious about the Spanish tradition of bull fighting, this novel is for you.

For me, the narrative was a bit thick with bullfighting terms. And I found our protagonist, a boy expected to fill the shoes of his father, a legendary bull
