Review of: Perry Bear Goes for a Walk by: Jack R. Mason
*Children's*


Perry Bear is a wonderful new friend for children.  His walk ends up helping several of his friends along the way.  This book includes several lessons for children and I love that.  The illustrations and writing are spot on to teach children about friends, math and helping.  Well written and easy to follow, your children will love this book and look forward to more of Perry Bear's adventures.  Such a lovable, sweet way to teach your children without it seeming like they are learning. Books such as these are invaluable to parents with little ones starting to show interest in books, or those who love to read and learn.  Good work Mr. Mason!


I give this book 5 out of 5 books because it's a terrific learning tool.

Review of: The 19th Element by: John L. Betcher


James L. Becker is an attorney, at least that's what those of his small hometown believe.  John and his wife Beth, worked as agents for the USA before settling down in Red Wing, MN.  Terrorism was their work.  They decide to leave the agency and live more quietly in Red Wing while their daughter attends college out of state.  James realizes the problems that came with being an agent followed them into private life.  He senses there will be a terrorist attempt at one of the local nuclear power plants. It begins with a dead body and then the pieces of the puzzle start falling in line.  


 This book is thought provoking, intelligent and amazing.  I love the idea of showing that Americans are complacent when it comes to terrorism even if they don't believe they are.  The characters are a wonderfully written group of people. You can imagine these people living in your own neighborhood. I like that it informed.  The two problems I found with this book is for many it will prove to be extremely detailed and technical.  This isn't an easy read for the weekend, at least not for most people.  I know many will enjoy this book, still there are some who will start it but not finish it.  I did finish but WOW was it challenging.


 I give this book 3 out of 5 books because of the extreme detail and technical writing.

Review of: Remembrance by: Michelle Madow
*YA*


A new school year and Elizabeth's life is about the change in ways she could never dream of.  Lizzie dated Jeremy since middle school and now at 17, everyone sees them as THE couple.  Then Drew moves into town.  The connection is unmistakable and instant between Lizzie and Drew.  It feels almost like they've met before.  Lizzie's friend Chelsea also feels that instant connection with Drew.  Things start happening that Lizzie can't explain. She isn't sure she understands it herself.  How could all this be possible?  She's about to find out.


  A wonderfully, well written book! You will need an open mind and heart but this is a terrific book!! I recommend this one to everyone, regardless of age.  I loved that it wasn't so obvious as could have easily been the case. It gave you side trips to keep you wondering where the information was coming from and how it could all be possible.  You'll love to snuggle in and read this heartwarming story of love, patience and second chances!!


I give this book 5 out of 5 books!  WONDERFUL!!
Review of: Committed by: John W. Mefford


Michael Doyle is expecting another day of drudgery when his bosses announce the sale of the company.  Michael isn't sure what to do next, but he knows changes are coming and coming fast.  Just when he feels life can't get worse, he finds a body near the dumpster in a garbage bag.  Michael becomes a journalist and amateur sleuth while trying to find out what happened to the girl in the garbage bag.  His journey leads to more clues, more answers and even a bit of information that hits close to home. 

   Fast paced, provocative and sensual, this drama isn't one you'll easily want to let go of.  John W. Mefford has created a whole new world for us to explore and I'm certainly glad I did.  Intelligent and easy reading will keep you moving and craving more while devouring this book.   I enjoyed the characters and the doors that will open for Michael Doyle in the years to come.  I love that he wasn't looking for the job of journalist or sleuth but they seem to come naturally to him.  Made for seamless reading, no trying to make a leap that wasn't already there. I enjoy that!!


I give this book 5 books out of 5 because it blew me away!!
