HashBrown Winters by Frank Cole
Publisher's Note: There I stood, hiding next to the vending machines, disguised as a potted plant. I brushed the plastic leaves from my face and stared down the hallway toward the front double doors. Snow Cone always said one day this ridiculous costume would come in handy. Fifteen minutes had passed since the last student left for the buses, but I wasn't about to take any chances. Not with my life hanging in the balance. Leaning forward, I peered around the corner just as the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. Was this it? Could this be him? Join Hashbrown, Snow Cone, Whiz, and the rest of the gang in this hilarious novel of the trials and tragedies of fifth grade life.
Mountain Girl by Rose McMills
Publisher's Note: Energetic eleven-year-old Elizabeth eagerly embraces mountain life when she moves with her family to her grandparents' West Virginia farm in the late 1940s. Adventures abound amid daily chores for this imaginative, inquisitive girl. But Elizabeth's idyllic life belies family troubles. Family and community alike shun her Uncle John-moody, intuitive, and withdrawn-and Elizabeth wants to know why. Can she forge a connection with Uncle John? Music, family ties, belief in God, farm animals, meals straight from the land, the beauty of the surrounding hills and the rich mountain culture play more than a supporting role in Elizabeth's story.
Where There is No Comfort: Seven Days in Ethiopia by Juliann Troi
Publisher's Note: When Pat Bradley, president of International Crisis Aid (ICA), asked Juliann Troi to write an article to promote awareness of the life-saving work his nonprofit organization was doing in Ethiopia, Troi realized it couldn't be done from her office; first-hand experience was needed. Troi spent a week in and around Angacha, a small village south of Ethiopia's capital, bringing hope to a desperate land Where There Is No Comfort. Troi found that millions of Ethiopians suffer unspeakable hardships, yet exhibit an amazing resilience and strength of character as they struggle to survive. This inspirational snapshot of life in Ethiopia will open your eyes and touch your heart.
The Deer/Dear Hunt (book 2) by Alan Oberdeck
Publisher's Note: For the past six months, Peter Waldmann has been looking forward to his meeting with Linda Leigh Swanson, the long-lost love of his life, at the Vancouver airport. He has such a grand vacation planned! The day has finally arrived, but when Linda comes out of customs at the airport, Peter senses something is terribly wrong. In the second book of The Deer/Dear Hunt series, author Alan M. Oberdeck follows Peter as he tries to be with Linda on a two-week vacation, while at the same time trying to find out just what is going wrong with the relationship he is trying so hard to establish. Can Peter, a competent salesman, find a way to build up her confidence so she trusts him?
I'm especially interested in the Deer/Dear Hunt (to read) and the others as gifts for my grand kids.
