Just finished Overboard by Elizabeth Fama. Inspired by actual events this is the story of an American girl who survives the sinking of a ferry in the waters off Sumatra. Incredible story. I was exhausted after reading it!
Guardian of the Dead by Karen Healey draws on some of the ancient Maori myths and legends from New Zealand. Ellie must use her tae kwon do skills and her new-found magic to save the north island from destruction by mythical creatures. These are supernatural creatures I'd rather not meet in person!
OK, that's 10. Double digits - Yay!!!!!
Good for you! Only 90 more to go!
ReplyDeleteI just finished A Room with a View by E.M. Forster. A bit wordy, but a good commentary on English life and mores in the early 20th C.
On to the next one. Kathy
Ms. McCabe,
ReplyDeleteOVERBOARD sounds good! I just read THE WATER SEEKER, by Kimberly Willis Holt. The story is about Amos, whose father is a hunter and dowser (someone who is able to find water underground by using a forked stick). The story takes place from 1833 to 1859 and includes a long trek on the Oregon Trail. Amos is someone you'd like to know! Kathy
The Water Seeker sounds good. I'll order it for the library!
