Book Excerpt: 
. . .I was induced to-day, by the importunity of your traveller,” wrote an up-country store-keeper to a Brisbane firm, “to give him an order; but, as I did it merely to get rid of him in a civil manner, and to prevent my losing any more time, I must ask you to cancel the same.”

A CATCH IN EUCHRE.

18. What card in the game of euchre is always trumps and yet never turned up? This often puzzles many. [Pg 18]

RELIGIOUS RECKONING.—(The New Jerusalem.)

Revelations xxi. (15)—“And he that talked with me had a golden rule to measure the city and the gates thereof and the wall thereof;

(16) “And the city lieth four square, and the length is as large as the breadth, and he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.”

12,000 furlongs = 7,920,000 feet, which cube. . . Read More

Mirandy is a spritely tale of a girl with big dreams of winning the cake walk dance. In my growing up, a cake walk was walking in a circle and whoever stopped on the special spot got the cake. In the African American tradition, it was a dance. You strutted around in a dance. That sounds like more fu

Absolutely fantastic, can not recommend enough. A plus plus PLUS.

In all seriousness, the artwork is fantastic and so is the story.

Have a strawberry-tastic thumbs up!

This book is great, I love it. It has a nice story to it. It teaches the reader a lesson within the text. The ending also is nice because it gives you the chance to infer because it does not tell you what actually happens. I recommend this book to any age.

The author does a wonderful job of incorporating her own family story into a fictional book. The history in this novel is essential to understanding the story. The incorporation of the cake walk and of Brother Wind allow the reader to be taken into another culture that they may never have experience

Even though I'm not a big fan of the wind (I live in a very windy place), I like how Jerry Pinkney has illustrated the wind here! The wind is treated as very nearly a real person in the text, and I like that he is illustrated as very nearly a real person as well. This is a fun one! I knew how it was

The story is cute but it was so poorly told; twice I thought I'd missed a page because it just jumped to the next idea.
