A girlhood is incomplete without Anne of Green Gables.

This young adult novel is the tale of Gabrielle de Domremy who is a childhood friend of Joan of Arc. Gabrielle learns healing and midwifery from her mother, and follows Joan's army as a medic. She dresses as a boy, loves (chastely, of course) a soldier, and even follows Joan after she is captured and imprisoned until her death at the stake. Gabrielle is a courageous young woman, but a lover of peace and is the 'dove' to Joan's 'sword.' As a person whose official education of history encompassed only the American Revolution to the Civil War, I was mildly interested in the historical Joan of Arc when I picked this book up at a garage sale. I was induced to finally read it by the Go Review That Book forum here on LT, and I am glad of it. The fictional tale of Gabrielle brought color and relatability to a centuries old historical figure. There is much commentary on the rightness or wrongness of war, as well as discussion of Joan's piety and saintliness. I was concerned that the reality of battle might be either too graphic for a young reader or mostly glossed over; however, Garden has managed to strike a balance between the two and write with both realism and mindfulness of her intended audience. This is a recommended read for young people, especially females, interested in historical events or personages.

Lowry returns to form with in the final book in her Anastasia series. Anastasia gets a dog and mistakenly puts it's.. um... droppings in a mailbox instead of the letter she intended to mail. She feels guilty, of course, and struggles with whether to call the post office to confess. At the same time, she is taking a course in "Values' and wrestles with questions like, "If you could shave one day off the end of your life and by doing so save the life of a baby in China, would you?" Anastasia has always had an interesting perspective, and these questions really highlight that as well as induce young readers to think about what they would do in the same situation. As always, the Krupnik family are wildly entertaining as well as realistic secondary characters. I am very pleased by how this series ended up.
This was read in my great Read-Everything-Anne-Tyler-Ever-Wrote quest.

Another fantastic read by Linda Fairstein.
Jack Rosenblum wants desperately to be English. He is a Jewish refugee who fled from Germany during WWII and settled in England where he started a successful carpet factory. In his efforts to fit in he makes a list of everything he must do to become English and the last thing on his list is to belong to a golf course. No one will take a Jewish man so he decides he must build his own course. This book had some slow moments but overall was a worthwhile read. 3 1/2 stars.
I absolutely loved this book, but I can imagine it turning some others off. I noticed another review describing it as "nostalgia porn", and it's hard to think of a better way to put it. Specifically, it's nostalgia porn for geeks, primarily focusing on the '80s. The name dropping alone is probably half the text, and admittedly gets a bit tedious at times even if you completely share the nostalgic feelings. In this semi-near future dystopia where poverty and famine are the only things flourishing, people have become dependent on escaping their bleak lives into a utopian virtual reality known as The Oasis. When the multi-hundred-billionaire with no heirs who created The Oasis passes away, he bequeaths his entire fortune to whoever can first solve a puzzle that leads to an easter egg he hid inside The Oasis. The puzzle is designed to be solvable by someone who shares his nostalgic passion for 1980's pop culture and geek culture. And so the egg hunters, or 'gunters', spend years becoming experts on the 80s looking for clues to his puzzle, and the reader follows along as the protagonist becomes the first person to decipher the first clue, sparking an arms race to follow the bread crumbs from there. It reminded me of "The DaVinci Code" (though far better written, if you were one who disliked The DaVinci Code), in how it built up detailed puzzles within puzzles using real bits of history (though far more recent history in this case, of course). Sharing the author's enthusiastic nostalgia for the 80s should not be a requirement to enjoy this book, though if you actively dislike all things 80s, of course, then maybe you should consider passing on this one. But otherwise, it was very enjoyable.
'My Sisters Keeper' is the first book I ever read by Jodi Picoult. It is also the book that led to me reading almost all of Jodi Picoult's other books. In this book, as in all of her others, I connected with the characters in a way that I felt as though I was a part of the fictional 'Fitzgerald' family. I couldn't put the book down, the story was too captivating. It was very unpredictable, and the ending of the book was the biggest surprise of all.
This book was big, and at times hard to get through. It was also incredibly intresting to read about all that Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea encounted while exploring the territories we received in the Louisianna Purchase.
