I liked the idea of the story in this one better, but it is definitely a product of its time. The title was clearly changed, as it should have been, from its original, but that also doesn't change the content from being something that wouldn't get published today. This is one to definitley talk about with...

The wolf Meshiska gave birth to five cubs on the night before full moon. Outside the den a storm was lashing the spruce trees.

Oddly charmless. Maybe it's because I read this one for the first time as an adult, although my favorite Serendipity books hold up to multiple rereads. Robin James draws extraordinarily beautiful horses - Shimmeree being no exception - and usually the quality of the art saves the less creative stories....

I first read this book when I was in 7th grade and was just starting to get into fantasy books. At the time I was not in the habit of keeping a list of books that I read, so a few years later, when I started, I could not remember the name of this book. I wanted to get a copy of the trilogy but since this was in the dinosaur...

I really enjoyed reading the story of Clara Barton: Founder of the American Red Cross by Augusta Stevenson. The writing was simple and easy to understand, yet it was still interesting. The author made it easy to connect with the characters by the way she explained everything. I think that connecting...
