Come Back Dear Sun by Geena Bean

     Kaylee is concerned about why she hasn't seen the sun in quite awhile.  No one is sure why the sun hasn't been shining.  They only know they are tired of all the darkness and gloom.  Kaylee devises a plan to find out where the sun is and she and her friends plan a camp out to pull off the plan.  Now if only it will work.

     A fabulous book about children spending too much time indoors.  A great way to get across to them they need sunshine and fresh air too.  This book will speak to young children in a way they will understand and get the message across easily.  Ms Bean found a fantastic way to make kids listen to the message of play outside.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's a unique way to stress the importance of being outside. 

Not Quite Mine by Catherine Bybee

     Katie and Dean had been friends since high school.  Katie always had a crush on Dean but it wasn't until after high school that they began to date. Secretly of course. It wouldn't do for Katie's dad and brother to find out.  They were both privileged   kids, their parents wealth well established, and as such they wanted to keep this to themselves.  No media stories. No friends feeling guilty, if they broke up, about who to invite to their parties.  As suddenly as it began it ended.  Katie then got the reputation of being a wild child. Sleeping around, traveling and parties were on her nightly agenda.  Dean, meanwhile, nursed a broken heart for more than one reason.  Now they've got a second chance, will they take it?

     This is a wonderfully crafted story about a wealthy spoiled girl and her sudden need to grow up.  Love the characters and their personalities really shine through.  You'll laugh and you'll sigh as you read this book.  An easy read, Catherine Bybee has done a terrific job of keeping the characters true to the first book in the series.  This is a keeper!! 

     I found no issues with this one.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because I couldn't put it down.

Not Quite Dating by Catherine Bybee

     Jessie Mann is a single mom. She's worked hard for everything she has.  She and her sister work to see her son Danny has all he needs.  Jessie keeps hoping someday her prince will arrive with enough money so she doesn't have to worry every day.  Until he does, she works at a waitress on the graveyard shift.
     Jack Morrison is an heir to a luxury hotel empire.  He and his buddies are just back from a bachelor party to end all parties.  Jack has been wondering if he'll ever find a woman who loves him and not his back account. Then Jessie walks into his life.  
     
     This book is fantastic!  It's the first in the "Not Quite" series.  I can't wait to read the others.  The characters are well developed and fun to follow. The story one you'll enjoy again and again.  Tender, fun and the fairy tale ending is all you could ever want in a book.  You'll get hooked on this one from page one.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's such a fantastic read.

Nobody's Child by Lisa PeCai

     An abusive and cheating husband lead the woman to seek out an abortion of the child she carried.  The method was crude but ineffective. The baby would be born. From birth the child knew no love or compassion. Her mother beat her and did all she could to send her away or let her die.  The girl became wise early on and stole to eat and stayed out of her mother's path.  By age ten, she was locked away simply because her mother saw something bad in her.  Life for this girl would never be easy but eventually after she moved to America, she learned pride and love.  

     This candid look at the life of one child who was unwanted, will touch your heart.  There are also parts that will turn your stomach.  Ms PeCai does such a wonderful job of relating this true life story, you'll feel like you are in Romania.  I am constantly amazed at the human suffering we know nothing about until a book like this comes along. Read this one and you'll look at life differently.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 4 cheers out of 5 because it is just a bit to graphic for me.

If You Were Me And Lived In Mexico by Carole P. Roman

      This book is a wonderful look at life in Mexico.  It introduces Spanish and traditions of the Mexican people.  It's the perfect way to introduce other countries and cultures to children. It's simply written and easy to understand.  Many children will be able to read this and understand the traditions from Mexico from other shows.  

     I love books like this. When my children were little I used books like this to show them people of the world.  We used some of the traditions to make them sink in just a bit more. Carole P. Roman is fantastic at capturing what children love most to read about. Your children will love this book as much as her others.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because this is a fantastic teaching tool. 

Silent Witness by Rebecca Forster

     Things seemed to be going well for Archer and Josie after her big trial. She took Hannah into her home and though Archer wasn't thrilled with it, he was adjusting.  Out of the blue, Archer is arrested for the murder of his step-son. To say Josie is thrown for a loop is an understatement.  She hadn't known about the boy or the death. Now she was trying to defend him and understand the situation.  It's almost too much for Josie to deal with.  Can she defend Archer and remain his lover? 

     This is a fantastic book.  Rebecca Forster weaves such a wonderful story you get lost from page one.  I found the story well written and plotted out. The characters defined and relate-able.  This is one of the best legal thrillers you'll ever find.  Forster has a way of making you feel as though you are right there with the characters every step of the way. You'll love these books.

      I found no issues.

      I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it kept my attention until the end.
