Well Done!
I loved, loved, loved this book and I am not the "go along with the crowd" type. But I've read a lot of criticism here about this book. Listen, if you're looking for something that precisely lines up with your version of history/events, you're barking up the wrong ...

I really enjoyed this book! It is a fun, easy read, great when I was feeling down and needed a pick me up. It (and the other books in the series) inspired me to learn to knit, which I love as well! Knitting is relaxing, a great de-stressor, and is good for my social ...

The Sign of the Beaver
Elizabeth George Speare
Yearling
, 1994
One of the greatest literary adventures of my childhood.
This book is captivating and impossible to put down even now as I approach age 30. As a girl I found it spellbinding, the kind of book that makes your own world and time dissolve around you and casts directly in the life and time of the characters. It is far to rare ...
