This was another middle grade book that came after my time. It's still requested a lot, so I decided to check it out for myself. 'Skeleton Man' opens suddenly with Molly coming home to an empty house. Her parents are gone, at school a teacher notices somethings wrong and soon Molly is handed by soci...

Lozen’s world isn’t one most of us would care to live in; it’s brutally hierarchical with no chance to change castes, it’s short of food, chock full of really dangerous critters, and there are overlords who inexplicable and not entirely human anymore, and they have lots of henchmen to carry out viol...
Post-apocalyptic monster-killing as performed by Apache hunter, Lozen. It seems like such a straight-forward set-up, but nothing is as obvious as that.

Four Ancestors has stories, songs, and poetry about the four elements: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air from more than 30 Native American cultures.It is a short read, but very enjoyable. I liked it.

Sixteen-year-old Jesse Smoke has been studying at the Mission School, but ...
A remarkable telling of a remarkable journey taken by remarkable people. I am sure there are countless works of fiction on both the Corps of Discovery and Sacajawea. I haven't read any of them so I'm certainly no authority, but I think this has to be one of the best - certainly one of the best aim...
