It was great!

A fave

Bully was being mean and not sharing.

An excellent ending to the Belmont Mansion trilogy. Musical readers will especially enjoy this Reconstruction-era story of Rebekah Carrington, a young musician just returning from extensive training in Vienna. Rebekah sadly finds that she must hide the light of her talent under a bushel, due to her status as a female. However, she continues her work as a music tutor, eventually landing a position as the capable assistant to the conductor of the fledgling Nashville Symphony, Tate Whitcomb. They each learn to embrace their respective heritages as the keys to their success, and soon become a celebrated team. However, with Tate learning that he is losing his hearing, and Rebekah on the run from her predatory step-father, they find their faith seriously challenged. The story emerges with a happy ending, in which both Rebekah and Tate learn to trust God with their future, and each other with their hearts. The end result is sweetly satisfying (if a bit rushed at the end), with a golden vein of faith throughout.

Wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. My kids and I found it a great introduction to Lincoln's early life as well as a very enjoyable read.

A heartbreaking and haunting story of abuse, coverups, and the lifetime effects on the survivors.

Great read about a group of people each trying to reinvent themselves at an artists' colony with a dark history.

Very great early reader books. Provides a little lesson in the beginning to prepare the reader for all the words used in the book including the characters names. I like that they include sight words and simple words that cab be sounded out. I like the questions at the end which allow you to engage with your child.

This is an excellent start to a new series by Tana French. The two main characters: mysterious teenager Trey Reddy and retired, emotionally scared Cal Hooper are especially appealing. At first Cal doesn't know what to make of Trey. He isn't even certain if she is male or female. She dresses in androgenous clothes and reveals nothing about her life. All he knows is Trey is persistent. Once she learns he was a detective, she is determined to enlist Cal's help in finding her beloved older brother, one of the few people in Trey's life who has shown her kindness. The novel shows the insularity of rural Irish life where villagers close ranks even when something very bad has occurred. This is a wonderful mystery which slowly develops the friendship and trust between Trey, whose home life is blighted by a mother who can barely cope and an absent, ner'do-well father. The ending and the reasons for the "murder" are beyond tragic. The prose is poetic and fitting for the lyricism of the Irish countryside.

It was good! I like the rhyming words.
