Among my all- time much-loved publications as a child! Simply just recently bought to have a look at once more after investing hrs before Vermeer’s A Woman Producing as well as was not dissatisfied. ![]() ![]() ![]() What kept me reading this book was the fact that everything that was going on, was happening during the Civil War time period. ![]() ![]() Richard Peck has written many books for children, including A Year Down Yonder, which won the Newberry Medal in 2001. ![]() I just happened to find this book at the local thriftshop and picked it up. It has such vibrant descriptions and memorable characters. The children learn the story of their dad's family, and a family secret or two. This story is told as a flashback, as Tilly's grandchildren come for a visit in 1916. And why is the Pruitt family harboring southerners? Little do they all know the deep effect they will all have on each others lives and futures. Residents wonder if the darker woman, Calinda, is a slave, or if the two women are spies for the south. Rumors begin to fly around town immediately. They cannot continue their journey to St. Delphine and her companion Calinda are like nothing the small town of Grand Tower has ever seen.

I was so immersed in this story, I read the whole thing at Let's just hope the writers can come up with some original storylines for the next movie! #MAYTHEFORCEBEWITHYOUĭryden has some excellent writing chops. Both Rey and Finn were fantastic characters and promise to do great things in the future. On the bright side, REY IS FABULOUS! So is Finn.the best part of the plot was the premise that a Stormtrooper defects to the other side. I also thought the older characters were not well utilized in this film. And since we never got to see this character before, I was not invested in him at all. Also, I don't believe for one hairy second that a child of Leia and Han would turn to the Dark Side. Could they not come up with some original storylines? Most of the film felt like a rehash of old plot from the original Star Wars movie, including the big climatic battle scene. First time the whole family had attended a movie in YEARS. ![]() ![]() *BEWARE OF SPOILERS.PROCEED WITH CAUTION* I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens with the whole family. ![]() |
