The story telling involves dragons, vikings, adventure and coming of age, plus a good dash of humor.Īfter the disclaimer, Cowell immediately hooks the reader in by revealing in the first chapter that each young viking is going to have to go into a cave with hundreds of sleeping dragons and kidnap one. There is a television and film series that are based on the books, and we watched most of them before ever reading any of the books. We first discovered this series through my nephew, who though he is a sometimes reluctant reader, he loves dragons as much as his cousins. ![]() In fact, it is a very relatable way to start the series by claiming, “This is the story of becoming a Hero the Hard Way”. Part prologue, part disclaimer, Hiccup himself says that he doesn’t become a dragon trainer with any ease. Cressida Cowell brilliantly opens How to Train Your Dragon with a note from Hiccup, the unwitting hero of the series. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the telling of her life story, she describes those missing ingredients: an insatiable curiosity and continuing desire to learn, her incredible capacity for hard work, her ability to make friends on all levels, and the close partnership she enjoyed with her husband. ![]() It was easy to suspect that there was some ingredient missing, and this book finally identifies it: Julia herself. Julia Child has always been a paragon of culinary talent, and those of us who bought her first volumes learned quickly that there was a great chasm between reading one of her recipes and turning it into the great creations she made so effortlessly. ![]() ![]() I reached up to put the book back on the shelf and then, for no.

Few are more lovable than little Joan from Domremy and we are privileged through Twain’s creation to bask in her twinkling childhood before launching into her divinely directed mission and undaunted adolescence. This was a brilliant decision and one that impacts the entire tone of the book and allows for instructive character creation. ![]() ![]() One splendid element of this book is that it is written from the fictional point of view of Joan’s childhood friend and later personal secretary. We will, however, tell you some of the magic Twain weaves into his version of her story. We don't want to tell much about the book because the delight was in knowing very little when we picked it up. We can't recommend this book more highly. Mark Twain considered this his life's work, but few have ever heard of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A blue-eyed Amerasian Susan Dey, the most white-looking of her siblings in her mixed-race Chinese and white family, she is also so serious, so driven, so good and responsible, she seems the least likely to go missing.

Yep. ![]() It was good, but I didn't find myself bargaining how many more chapters I could read before I had to put it down and go to bed. I don't know that I was as into The Death Cure as I was Maze Runner or Scorch Trials. The story moves fast, and the chapters are pretty short, which for me makes it grab my attention pretty quickly. One of the things I've come to appreciate about this series is it takes almost no time to get back into it. The Death Cure takes place right after the Scorch Trials when Tom is captured by WICKED. ![]() ![]() I set it down for a bit so I could get some other books on the challenge read. interesting time to start The Maze Runner series back up. ![]() ![]() In this pioneering work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and a consideration of female madness, both onscreen and off.
