They become a little family as they navigate in a canoe from Lincoln School towards Saint Louis on the Mississippi. Odie (nearly 13, his older brother Albert, Moses ( a mute Sioux boy) and 6-year old Emmy are all searching for something – home. Leaving behind the cruel and corrupt Lincoln Indian School, Odie O’Banion and three other orphans set off to find a new life, and nearly perish in doing so. Set in Minnesota in 1932, our narrator is a 12-year old boy (nearly thirteen, he keeps telling the reader), finds himself caught up in an adventure of a lifetime. Here is my book review of This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. I found it here in this beautifully written story. I have been struggling to find a really captivating novel for a while. One of the best books I have read in months.

Praise for Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series Both Jamie and Ian are instantly drawn to the bride-to-be-but they might be more cautious if they had any idea who they’re truly dealing with. One is an old Torah the other is the doctor’s beautiful granddaughter, Rebekah, destined for an arranged marriage. Hasdi, a Jewish gentleman who hires them to escort two priceless treasures to Paris. But Jamie’s love life becomes infinitely more complicated-and dangerous-when fate brings the young men into the service of Dr. Both are nursing wounds both have good reason to stay out of Scotland and both are still virgins, despite several opportunities to remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue. Mourning the death of his father and gravely injured at the hands of the English, Jamie Fraser finds himself running with a band of mercenaries in the French countryside, where he reconnects with his old friend Ian Murray. Featuring all the trademark suspense, adventure, and history of Diana Gabaldon’s #1 bestselling novels and the Starz original series, Virgins is now available for the first time as a standalone ebook. A young Jamie Fraser learns what it really means to become a man in this Outlander prequel novella. Much credit goes to Parker, who writes exceedingly clever stories that call on Batman backstory, even as his dialogue uncannily mimics the cadences of actor Adam West’s TV delivery. And, with an unabashedly heroic crime fighter and bright, lively images far afield from Gotham’s shadows, it’s ideal for younger readers, particularly those not quite ready for the more intense, horror-tinged arcs typical of current Batman stories. Ostensibly an adaptation of the high-camp 1960s television series, much beloved and reviled, it balances a meticulous re-creation of the show’s phantasmagorical aesthetic and whimsical tone with a more expansive scope in both plot and action to create a deeper, more exciting read. *Starred Review* Among the plethora of Batman titles, this stands unique. |
