1986 Newbery Medal Winner 1986 Scott O'Dell Award Winner Anna and Caleb live on a farm on the prairie with their father, Jacob. They miss their mother terribly, who died when Caleb was born. When Jacob puts out an ad for a new wife and mother for the two children, Sarah, a woman from coastal Maine, answers. Sarah agrees to travel to them and stay for a month, after which she'll decide if she wants to try to fill the space that their mother left behind. MacLachlan's prose is simple, but powerfully descriptive. Children will identify with Anna and Caleb's feelings of loneliness, wanting to be loved, and the excitement at the possibility of having a happy family once again. On another level, parents, or anyone who has lost someone and wondered if they could love again, will be able to identify with Jacob in this short, but poignant novel.

Can I just say that I still think about this book all the time, and I am very mad that one of the teachers at CRMS stole it and hasn't returned my emails... grrr

Bourdain writing has the perfect mix of snarky humor, New York cynicism and adoration for the culinary world. I loved this book!

Could not put this down. The genre' is not really my thing, but I found this to be really good, actually. Lots of factual history, which I like. There were a few pockets I didn't like, and yes, it was cheesy at times. The end got a bit preachy and I admit, I skipped much of the last couple chapters. I kind of thought as I was reading, c'mon, end already, but I will move on to #2.

I was a big reader from a very young age. My mom has often said I was born with a book in my hand. I loved reading and that was why from a very early age I knew I was going to be an English major and be an English teacher, but it wasn't until I discovered Hemingway that my passion for literature was ignited. I remember the day in the library at Century College (the Lakewood Community College) as I combed the stacks looking for something "new" to read. I had gotten little glimpses of Hemingway, Faulkner, Steinbeck and all the rest in excerpts read in different classes, but I wanted to know more about these authors - I wanted to read more. As I walked through the stacks, I came across Hemingway. I picked up For Whom the Bell Tolls and selected that one. I liked it fine, so I went back for more. In quick succession I read many of his books, coming across Moveable Feast and Garden of Eden - two books that went against the grain of everything else I had read, but made me fall in love with this man who I wasn't supposed to like cause he was "misogynistic" and everything else a Birkenstock-wearing, feminist should hate. Here comes this book told from Hadley's perspective of their life together. I loved it (4.5 stars, really). While I know it was fiction, McLain did a fantastic job of pulling from her sources to create these "characters" and to give us a peek into the love and turmoil Hadley and Papa went through. I loved reading this and seeing pieces of Hemingway's own work being used to create the story. Is the love-triangle in Garden of Eden really a representation of the triangle of Hem-Hadley-Pauline? There is speculation, and McLain went with that speculation and created a story of friendship love and loss. Yes. There were points that made me roll my eyes a little bit and say "no way!" but that is OK. Overall, it was a lovely look. As I said in a comment below, Hemingway is a real life mythological person. We can read his books, we can read his letters (by the way, I have his book of letters -Selected Letters 1917-1961- and there are NONE between him and Hadley in there) but there is always going to be this fog when it comes to our understanding of Hemingway and the people in his life. And so, we have McLain, who attempts to create a story and I believe she did a fine job of it.
Cute story, but as far as a VRC nominee for primary grades, I think the humor is going to be a little over the heads of the typical kindergartner and first grader (although the potty-humor-crowd will certainly enjoy the repeated references to the donkey friend who peed his pants).

This is an introductory linguistics textbook of the sort that might be used in a first year undergraduate class. As part of its degree requirements, my department requires that you be able to read technical linguistics literature in a language other than English, and reading through this book proved very helpful for passing that exam.
Wow, I'm still processing this book. The story is multifaceted and very engaging...taking you across time and introducing you to a variety of people, cultures, and societies. What I'm still struggling with is the overall message. At first I though, "Revolutionary" (in a good way). Now I'm mulling it over and thinking, "Is the message in the end that man is doomed no mater what and only the naive fools will die to fight for civilization and a mentality that is above Eat or Be Eaten." I don't think that is quite it though. Great food for thought. I'd love to meet Mr. Mitchell....I think we'd get along.
