Marching

Major Crush (Simon Romantic Comedies)

Jennifer Echols

Simon Pulse, 2006

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
If you're thinking that MAJOR CRUSH is another one of those "one time, at band camp" stories, then you're sorely mistaken! I have to say that this is one of the best, not to mention funniest, young adult romance stories I've read this year. Sixteen-year-old ...

Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam After Iraq

Michael Scheuer

Free Press, 2008

Many points should be no-brainers, criticizes about everyone
This is a wise, irritating, condemnatory, even funny book written by someone who knows his stuff and has a fine sense of the bizarre, and ignorant, and even humor! Apparently his main point is that shallow willful ignorance, a gloating sense of cultural superiority, in ...

American Band: Music, Dreams, and Coming of Age in the Heartland

Kristen Laine

Gotham, 2007

For anyone who has marched in a high school marching band or band parent and more
I happen to be a parent from this particular program whose son graduated before the book was written. I read initially to open the "mysterious" "how" in the world did this man, Max Jones, consistently get these kids from summer freshman band camp, to marching a ...

The Marching Season

Daniel Silva

Signet, 2004

Exceptionally talented writer
It takes a great writer to entice me to buy all of their books. I bought all of Silva's books after completing "Mark of the Assassin." He weaves a lot of fact, including history, into his tales. Thus making them more credible and worthwhile from a learning ...

Marching Powder: A True Story of Friendship, Cocaine, and South America's Strangest Jail

Thomas McFadden, Rusty Young

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

Very intriguing!
I coldn't put this down once I started it. The three other people I lent it to, felt the same way. It is an amazing story of one of the most bizarre prisons in the world and what it took to survive there for 4+ years.

When Froggy hears about an upcoming marching band contest, he wastes no time in digging out his dad's old saxophone from the attic. Soon, along with his recorder-tooting, triangle-tinging, baton-flinging pals, Froggy has himself a bona fide marching band. As long as they can remember the rules--"Don't look left. Don't look right. And DON'T ...

Marching Orders for the End Battle: Getting Ready for Christ's Return

Corrie Ten Boom

Good... yet, confusing.
Corrie ten Boom lived an amazing life, chronicled in the books: IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE (her early years), THE HIDING PLACE (her wartime and prison years), and TRAMP FOR THE LORD (the 20 years after her imprisonment). In her later years, she wrote a lot of books, and one ...

The Aunts Go Marching

Maurie J. Manning

Boyds Mills Press, 2003

Clever and Beautiful
My first Caldecott contender! This is a beautifully illustrated book. It's quite clever, as the aunts go marching into town (hurrah hurrah). They march in time with umbrellas held high. It's a simple text, but the aunts vs. ants is a wonderful twist. I love this book.
