Review Some Through The Fire / PublishAmerica:Jamie Conner and his parents were just simple country folks, or so they tried to tell everyone, including themselves. As Jamie turned twelve years old, they began to realize that Jamie was anything but simple. He was extremely intelligent, talented beyond his mother’s wildest dreams; he was also constantly in a lot of pain, the result of which almost killed him. As word spread about this handsome young musician, people began to develop their own plans for his future. Many of those plans were not necessarily in Jamie’s best interest. Everyone, it seemed, knew how best to apply all that talent, which in their eyes was far more important than the welfare of the boy himself. Some Through the Fire tells of the struggle between Jamie and those who tried to influence his life, his own internal struggles, and how he depended upon his family and his faith to lead the way through some very difficult situations.

Review Snowy Day (Scholastic Big Books) / Scholastic:A Caldecott Medal winner that conveys the silent wonder of a city snowfall and a small boy's solitary delight in it. The Snowy Day, a 1963 Caldecott Medal winner, is the simple tale of a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during the night. Keats's illustrations, using cut-outs, watercolors, and collage, are strikingly beautiful in their understated color and composition. The tranquil story mirrors the calm presence of the paintings, and both exude the silence of a freshly snow-covered landscape. The little boy celebrates the snow-draped city with a day of humble adventures-experimenting with footprints, knocking snow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save a snowball for the next day. Awakening to a winter wonderland is an ageless, ever-magical experience, and one made nearly visceral by Keats's gentle tribute. The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, but also for its importance as a trailblazer. According to Horn Book magazine, The Snowy Day was "the very first full-color picture book to feature a small black hero"-yet another reason to add this classic to your shelves. It's as unique and special as a snowflake.

Review Mama, Do You Love Me? (American Revolution Biographies) / Sony Wonder:This beloved story of a child testing the limits of her independence, and a mother who reassuringly proves that a parent s love is unconditional and everlasting is a perfect first book for toddlers. This exceptional board-book tells a beautiful and timeless story about a daughter's attempt to find the limit of her mother's love. Barbara Lavallee's exquisite illustrations of Alaska, with their exaggeratedly foreshortened perspective and rich tones of violet, blue-gray, and gray-green, tell of an easy declaration ("I love you more than the raven loves his treasure, more than the dog loves his tail, more than the whale loves his spout") that is pushed, and pushed, and ("What if I put salmon in your parka. and ermine in your mukluks?") pushed. There's a quiet joyfulness in both the antics of the Inuit mother and daughter and in the animals-including a polar bear and a musk ox-that the daughter imagines she might become. A charming story for mothers and daughters of all ages. (Baby to preschool) -Richard Farr.

Review Amazon Rush / PublishAmerica:Collins, Mike and James are three friends at Brimrose Academy, a boarding school in a remote area of Northern Mississippi. While working together on the school newspaper, they decide to write a short story for a popular detective magazine. When the story is published, their trouble begins. Mike, whose father is a mob boss, does most of the writing of the short story. When it is discovered that most of the story contains sensitive information about a rival mob family, the boys must all flee the country. While fleeing the country, the boys end up in the most primitive areas of the Brazilain rainforest, and encounter numerous dangers: snakes, leeches, and wild animals, though none so deadly as the human predators who hunt them.
