@Phylis Patschske: Have you ever read Kim, also by Kipling? I liked that book even better

eru

Mmmm yes! I really liked that one, even though I wasn't all that impressed with the mysticism. I had some trouble understanding some of the politics behind the plot, but I suppose that's just my own incompetency . Still, I really enjoyed it.
Sort of off topic, but once I read a review that called him half Irish/half Indian, and said that it was his father who insisted on his Catholic schooling... Had they even read the book?
And have you ever read any of Rudyard Kipling's short stories? I liked "Wee Willie Winkie".

I really like these books:
Sisters in Time series
Viking Quest series
the Wall series by Robert Elmer(in Germany during WWII)
Orphan Train Adventures
Orphan Train Children(both series' are written by the same author I think)
Mandie mysteries
Other books by Robert Elmer(he writes historical fiction where not many have written about, in Germany).
I also liked Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte(although it is sad... was written same time period as Jane Austen wrote her books)
And American Girl books are classics(even though they're short children's books)

I've read those! I pretty sure I've gone through all the Sisters in Time books at lest twice. As for the Mandie books, I've read all 40 and between my sister and I we own about ten.

And so far no one has mentioned one of my favorites, Journey to the River Sea bye Eva Ibbotston, I think. I love that book! So well written and with such a good story! The Dragonfly Pool by the same author is good to, but Journey to the River Sea is best.

I think I read 35 of the 40 Mandie Books. They made more when I was getting older and I never have finished them.

Loyal Hearts and True was a book I enjoyed, set in Elizabethan times.

Kidnapped is awesome.

Has anyone ever read Rosemary Sutcliffe's books??

I don't think so, Cassie. What are some titles to her books?

She's got HEAPS...

A triology of hers I've got:

The Lantern Bearers
The Eagle of the Ninth
The Silver Branch

And then I've read her 'The King Arthur Trilogy' which, for me, is the best ever rendition of the myth.

I haven't read any of her other books.

Aah I haven't read any then I don't think, but I love books about King Arthur so I should read the trilogy I think.

I've read some of Sutcliffe's works. They were good.

There's one on the tip of my tongue that I've forgotten the author and title to, but it was in Celtic, ancient times, and had the word blood in the title.

Mr. Bowditch had a hard life, which is why the book is sad.
