The Remarkable And Very True Story Of Lucy & Snowcap (4.5/5 stars, grade 5 and up)
Set on fictional islands off northeast America in 1787, this story features two twelve-year-old girls from different cultures who must join forces to save themselves, their people, and one special baby.
It’s part historical (based on convicts who were sent to the Americas and Australia) and part fantasy.
Above all, it’s a captivating adventure in the tradition of The Princess Bride with shipwrecks, curses, chases, murder plots, magic (of all kinds), romantic legends, thieves and politicians (sometimes both), a caring schoolteacher and a handsome horse groom, a pair of feisty (sometimes difficult) heroines, and the mysterious power of story-telling at its center!
Moose’s Big Idea – Moose and Hildy Series (4.5/5 stars, early reader chapter book, grade 1 and up)
Moose is proud of his big, beautiful antlers.
So when they fall off one autumn, he doesn’t like it one bit. Without them, he looks like any other moose.
Luckily, it’s hunting season, so Moose has to stay inside. He reads, does puzzles, and paints with the materials his best friend, Hildy—a pig—brings him.
Then he gets his BIG IDEA. Why not sell his paintings? Moose exhibits his artwork and even manages to strike up a conversation with a passing hunter, who thinks his art is lovely.
Readers will cheer for Moose as he dupes the hunter and manages to make a buck in this hilarious story about a moose and his loyal porcine friend.
