Not Just For Kids!
After hearing the promo spot on radio to encourage literacy, which used excerpts from "Long Way From Chicago" several times... well it surly sounded like fun. Knowing in the summer my nephew, one of three exceptionally bright Home Schooled children of my Sis, are looking for fun reading material. Thought this might be something that would fill the bill. Did a little research on Peck and his writing and ordered it to deliver to me so I could review it, and find out what Grandma was holding in her hand??.... :) before I sent it on to the family. It was delightful. A story from another era which I can recall. A time before kid's lives revolved around technology, malls, and all the activities to keep them entertained. When parents chose what was best for the family, much learning came from the older generation, one was expected to work helping keep chores accomplished and having a good time in the doing. We developed many values, life skills and appreciation from the time spent with our Grandparents. It was an easy read but one that everyone would enjoy. The humor and love Grandma always provided, along with the blisters and excitement, led me to purchase the next book in the Series, for the kids of course... "A Year Down Yonder". I highly recommend this book for a light enjoyable read.

Murder Passes The Buck by Deb Baker (cozy mystery)
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich I always enjoy a mystery involving the senior set and the rural Michigan Upper Peninsula sounded interesting. Gertie Johnson is a widow that doesn't do bridge or fashion shows. But has a couple old lady friends that keep her company and she keeps them actively engaged with her interest in solving crimes... Her son Blaze, being the sheriff and not the most inspired crime fighter on the planet, gives her opportunity to "assist" him delving into murders he feels are accidents, that is when he is not trying to drag her off to court for mental instability. There is an extended circle of community characters that keep you guessing how well one can really know a person. Gertie finds this investigation pursuit is not as easy as she imagined and can get pretty deadly! Her family is a hoot and by the mid point of the book, I was doing just that out loud!!!! I will look forward to the next of the series "Murder Grins & Bears It".
