this is #1 of the Totally Ninja Raccoons Series. The raccoons discover that they should be Ninja Raccoons. They begin their ninja training and meet their first potential employer Gypsy the Cat. Gypsy tells them to capture the elusive Bigfoot for their first real mission. This is a cute and heartwarming story for all us kids no matter the age.







The Three Musketeers

This is a book that takes place in France during the 17th century. D'Artagnan and his three friends Athos, Porthos and Aramis are Musketeers, a soldier, in the service of King Louis XIII.
This was a very exciting story that was written in a very easy to read format. D'Artagnan and his friends confront the scheming Cardinal Richelieu and a spy, Lady de Winter. Heroic patriotism also comes into play as they journey to the French stronghold of La Rochelle. This book also included the original illustrations by artist John Green when it was first published in 1844.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Have a Little Faith

In times of stress and challenge, we all need to have a little faith. This book had inspiring stories to lift your spirit with its true personal stories of optimism, faith, and strength. It's a nice timely reminder that there is always a silver lining and we all have so very much to be thankful for.








Bad Girls of the Bible and What We Can Learn From Them

I thought this book was very insightful and I even learned about some women I hadn't heard of before. They talked about the selfishness of Sapphira, the deception of Delilah, Jezebel's pride, and Eve's disastrous disobedience and many others as well.
    Bad Girls of the Bible has a clear-sighted approach to understanding the women in Scripture, combining a contemporary retelling of their stories, a study of their mistakes and what lessons women today can learn from them. I wasn't really a fan of the modern retelling of the stories but the rest of the book was fantastic!!!
