Hmm...I'm not really 100% sure what the point was. Was the book about art, forgiveness, guilt or death? I have no clue. It was almost too short for it to have a message. I mean I liked it enough, but it was mostly just okay.Kate to me was a sap. She let her "father" walk all over her when he was not...

Some of them are a little more silly, intentionally and unintentionally. It's about 125 pages, and the st...

I loved this little story about Rosalind's awakening to her own capacity for compassion. It's a good way to introduce young readers to the lives of children of the British Raj. They were strictly required to always think of England as "home," and were often shuttled back and forth between India and...

One day, I was at the library with a friend and I saw this book on the shelf. Just laying there, waiting to be picked up. And, upon picking it up, there was absolutely no contemplation on whether or not I should read it. This is probably the best short story book I've read since Jon Scieszca's Guys ...
