After agreeing that better communication of what we are reading (and what we recommend or
pan) is VERY DESIRABLE, we now have our own Blog to share that information!! So, anytime you have read something, either good or bad, please share!!
How about we try to include author, title, target age, publication date, brief description, do we recommend it?or not?, your name so we can ask you more questions about the book if we want to know more.
Springer, Nancy Case of the Missing Marquess (An Enola Holmes Mystery)
Target age -probably 4th, 5th, 6th grade. Mystery. 2006. This is the first of a
fun little series starring the much younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. Enola
(alone spelled backwards) is as sharp as her famous brother, but she knows
the world of and the wiles of women, which Sherlock dismisses as unimportant.
Women are unreliable and unpredicatable beings after all!
Fun and recommended. (About a 4 out of 5) Ann

Bates, Judy Fong Midnight at the Dragon Cafe. Target age - Adult
Alex Award Winner. 2005. Takes place in a small town in Canada in the
50's, a Chinese immigrant family who own a Chinese Restaraunt, told
through the eyes of a 10-11 year old girl. Sort of a gently told story
with very unusual family circumstances and sadness. Not a barnburner but interesting. (About a 3 out of 5). Ann
