The Yearling
By Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, N. C. Wyeth
I think I understand what you (@thistle912) mean about the grammar; it's not the way my friends and I talk and it's difficult for me to read. "Yes" people really did talk that way & recently. As a "kid" of the 1970s, I remember "Andy Griffith" spoke similarly to that on TV. Where I live in central CA, there's been a trend in education to recognize that "standard" English is important, but it's not the only legitimate dialect. I tried to read the Yearling a few times and just recently decided to "read" the audio book to get more used to the accent and to think about whether or not the story is appropriate for my young nephew. My nephew's family and I don't eat meat, but the idea of "kill or go hungry" is an important part of our history.
Kidnapped
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Ash
I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary

The Secret Life of Bees
By Sue Monk Kidd
"Place a beehive in my grave and let the honey soak through. When I'm dead and gone that's what I want from you." Singing songs like that is what Lily and her caregiver, Rosaleen, do when they run away from Lily's mean, uncaring father. Because this is set in the 1960's Rosaleen who is black gets put in jail. I think it's really exciting when Lily breaks her out. "I watched as the policeman put on his hat and walked down the corridor and out the door. When Rosaleen and I stepped from her room, I looked left, then right." This part seems really suspenseful and makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. If you want to read a great book about beekeeping sisters, black Madonna and other funny adventures, I really recommend you read this book.
The Lost Twin (Scarlet and Ivy)
By Sophie Cleverly
I read this book a few years ago so I don't remember all the details, but I do remember how amazing it was and how obsessed I became with the series after reading it! Sadly, I only ever got up to the third book (I started reading the fourth on my dad's Kindle but never actually finished it) but maybe I'll start reading the series again. The book is a mystery about twin sisters and the crazy things they go through at their boarding school. It's AMAZINGGG.
Friends for Life! (The English Roses #1)
By Madonna
This book is the first in the series, but it's a filled-in journal rather than a small chapter book the way the others are. By filled-in, I mean that each friend filled out their own area of the book with their own handwriting and personality, so it's like an introduction to them and their worlds. I love it though! I've read it so many times because it's so fun to read when I'm too tired for a big chapter book.
Island of Fire (The Unwanteds)
By Lisa McMann
Island of Fire starts right where Island of Silence left off, and Alex and the rest of the inhabitants of Artimé are shocked that their incredible home just disappeared before their eyes. Everyone is living in a gray shack, surviving on what little food and water they have. Now Alex is their leader, and he has to figure out how to make Artimé come back before it is too late. Meghan and Samheed are still on Warbler Island, in complete darkness and unable to speak because of thorn necklaces sewn into their necks. With all of these burdens and responsibilities on his back, will Alex be able to handle it all? Will the Artiméans with thorn necklaces be able to speak again? In a wonderful third installment of a thrilling and enjoyable series, Island of Fire will leave readers wanting more. Lisa McMann strikes again with another excellent novel. My thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. It was a great addition to the Unwanteds series, and I can not wait for the following books. The description was great in this book, and Lisa does a great job of making the world of The Unwanteds series very vivid and realistic. Like book one and two, I absolutely LOVE the cover art. Owen Richardson is the perfect cover artist for this series. For some reason, even though it was 464 pages long I thought it was too short. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many words on the page, or that when I read it I was on a road trip. Lisa McMann, keep writing, and I will be reading. Can’t wait to see Lisa @ #AustinTeenBookFestival! :-) I truly can not wait to read book 4 (and see the cover and title); my guess for the title is Island of Water. I bet I’ll be like, “Told ya so! :-) Also, I want to thank Emma Sector at Simon and Schuster for sending me an ARC of this book. Thank you so much, Emma!
