On holiday in Cornwall, the three Drew children discover an ancient manuscript hidden somewhere in the attic of the house that they are staying in. They know immediately that it is special. It is even more than that -- the key to finding a grail, a source of power to fight the forces of evil known as the Dark. As the Drew children and their "mentor", Uncle Merry, they do realise how much their life is in jeopardy, because there are other people trying to find this manuscript, and may end up killing them for it. This is the first volume of Susan Cooper's brilliant and intriguing fantasy sequence known as The Darks Rising.

The Once Future King

The Once Future King

By T. H. White

I'm enjoying this book so much, I am sure my #1 grandson will love it. As the cover indicates, this book is considered "THE WORLD'S GREATEST FANTASY CLASSIC". Though I've read many books and stories about "King Arthur", often referred to as "the Arthurian Legends", I'd never read TOAFK until now -- so I never realized how much wonderful HUMOR is woven throughout the book, along with belief-defying magic, coming-of-age adventures and character-building insights. I give it two wrinkly thumbs up and challenge my #1 to READ THIS BOOK!

Copper Sun

Copper Sun

By Sharon M. Draper

Copper Sun is one of my favorite novels. From the story line to the character building. You feel what the characters feel. I also really enjoy how it has two points of view. The indentured servant and the slave. It is a sad realization of history and humanity. But i highly recommend it.

Blueback

Blueback

By Tim Winton

The Secret Life of Blueback Tim Winton’s narrative ‘Blueback’ is set in Longboat Bay, Robbers Head. Here in the bay it is clean and healthy and it has a lot of unique fish life. Longboat Bay is always sunny and it is a place where people can fish and swim. In this story the protagonist Abel, is a passionate boy who loves the ocean. His brave mother Dora raised him by herself. Other characters that appear are: Abel’s father who was a pearl diver who died from a tiger shark; Blueback the big, old groper; Stella, Abel’s wife and marine biologist, and Dora the 3 year old girl of Abel and Stella. At the beginning, Abel and Dora are catching abalone.They live a simple life near the ocean. They grow their own plants and animals, and rely on the ocean for food. Abel was in the water catching abalone, when a lurking shadow grabbed him by the arm. Firstly he thought it was a shark but he went back into the water to discover that it was a blue groper. Abel and the supposed shark started to develop a strong connection with each other. Soon after, a reef stripper named Costello entered Robbers Head and decided to spear fish but he collected fish over the legal limit. The ocean then became sick from something toxic, and so Abel and Dora tried to save the ocean. The strong message from this narrative is to never pollute in the ocean because it causes the fish to die. We should also treat fish fairly as humans. Therefore we should protect the ocean. I recommend this book to students in grades 5-8 because the emotive vocabulary makes you feel like you are in the book. They might also have a connection with the book because they might have experienced some of the activities, such as fishing, swimming and swimming with fish.
