1. Daniel Boone, Wilderness Scout by Stewart Edward White.

Daniel Boone was an important historical figure before, during and after the American Revolutionary War. In his long life of 86 years, America went from a mostly unexplored backwoods wilderness that was a British colony to a settled and developed area. Probably the most important single accomplishment of Daniel Boone was his development of the Cumberland Gap as the only direct transit route through the Appalachian Mountains from Virginia to Kentucky. Daniel Boone explored the gap, made the gap wider and helped immigrants reach it. By 1800, 200,000 immigrants had crossed the Cumberland Gap to reach Kentucky. At a time when there were no roads and only Indian trails, Daniel Boone crossed back and forth so many times it is hard to keep count. Daniel Boone travelled as far west as Nebraska. He travelled by horse or on foot. He was a businessman and a politician. He served in the Virginia state legislature. He was a man of peace who tried to avoid conflicts but nevertheless was involved in battles with the Indians and with the British during the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolutionary War.

This book is my second favourite book ever. I've always loved books set in this era, and this one is extremely well-written and full of amazing stories. It also brought to life an amazing man.

2. Enemy Brothers by Constance Savery.   

British airman Dym Ingleford is convinced that the young German prisoner, Max Eckermann, is his brother Anthony who was kidnapped years before. Raised in the Nazi ideology, Tony has by chance tumbled into British hands. Dym has brought him back, at least temporarily, to the family he neither remembers nor will acknowledge as his own. As Tony keeps attempting to escape, his stubborn anger is whittled away by the patient kindness he finds at the White Priory. Then, just as he is resigning himself to stay with this English family, a new chance suddenly opens for him to return home-to Germany!  

Oh, my heart. I have loved so many novels and so many characters in my life... but never one like I love this one. I love it so, so, so much. My favourite fiction book--this is not said lightly. My review says it all.

3. Basic Principles of Speech (1946 edition) by William Trufant Foster & Lew Sarrett.   

I cannot find a synopsis for this beautiful book. It can be purchased on Amazon & Abebooks, used, but it is obviously not popular. I simply don't understand how. This book is amazing. It taught me so many things about life and humanity and speech and writing. It's my favourite book. I have no higher praise. 

Note: The 1946 edition is the one I have read and talked about. I also have he 1970-something edition and IT IS NOT THE SAME BOOK. Just a warning ;)

4. The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr., & E.B. White.

'The Elements of Style' (1918), by William Strunk, Jr., is an American English writing style guide. It is the best-known, most influential prescriptive treatment of English grammar and usage, and often is required reading and usage in U.S. high school and university composition classes. This edition of 'The Elements of Style' details eight elementary rules of usage, ten elementary principles of composition, "a few matters of form", and a list of commonly misused words and expressions.  

You're probably thinking that I'm a nonfiction nut. I'm not. I love fiction. But I'm sharing my top favs and these are literally marked down in my reviews as my top favourites. So. I love this book because it is incredibly useful, beautiful, and very funny.

5. Bridgers by Angie Thompson.  

Three boys. One choice. No turning back.
Peyton is a rising star in the church who is well on the way to reaching his biggest dreams. Levi is a pastor's son struggling to live up to his faith under pressure from all sides. DaVonte is a kid from the wrong side of town who would be content if he and his friends were just left alone.When an act of violence presents a sudden decision, each boy's answer will shake the community to its core and shape its future forever. Love and truth face off against fear and pride in this modern extension of one of Jesus' best-known parables.  

Okay, if we will be technical, this is not one of my top favourite book of the year. I rated it 7/10 hearts. But I've already mentioned all my 8-hearts books so this is the next in line. This story was amazing. It really touched me. We don't often talk about people like Davonte in christian fiction, it seems to me. But oh, we need to. Because we need to reach out to them and bring them the gospel. We need to point them to the Light. Also, Levi's storyline was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. And it was just funny and beautiful and... I want to reread it. Now. xD

5 Childhood Favourites | Five Fall Favourites Blog Party |

Welcome back to the Five Fall Favourites Blog Party! The giveaway is still going on, so make sure to check out Rebekah's blog for all the information and links.

Today's genre is Childhood Favourites! So much nostalgia :)

As before, these books are arranged by alphabetical order. Also, two of these books are free as ebooks. 

*Cover images from Google or Amazon.*

1. The Golden Goblet by Eloise Jarvis McGraw.

Winner of a Newbery Honor, an exciting ancient Egyptian mystery! 
Ranofer wants only one thing in the world: to be a master goldsmith like his beloved father was. But how can he when he is all but imprisoned by his evil half brother, Gebu? Ranofer knows the only way he can escape Gebu's abuse is by changing his destiny. But can a poor boy with no skills survive on the cutthroat streets of ancient Thebes? Then Ranofer finds a priceless golden goblet in Gebu's room and he knows his luck−and his destiny−are about to change.  

This book. It is old and worn. It is torn and tattered. But in those slightly frayed, yellow pages I find myself. I find the child who first made the acquaintance of Ranofer and the Ancient and Heqet and Gebu and the others. I meet the child who hurried desperately through paragraphs and chapters to see what would happen. I see the child who revelled in the vividness of Ancient Egypt and the writerly genius. I see the child, growing up and still loving this book. There is a part of me in this old book that would not be in a spandy-new book. This book is my friend. It has grown with me. It has gone places with me. And therein lies the beauty of a good book. It is not the outside that matters so much as the inside—and the memories.

2. The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne.

Return to the Hundred Acre Wood with Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, and, for the first time, the excitable and lovable Tigger. Adventure awaits as the friends welcome Tigger, find new problems to solve, and learn many new lessons along the way.
 Author A. A. Milne originally started writing stories about Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin, and it was not long before Pooh became a household name. Since then, the characters and stories of Winnie-the-Pooh have become a mainstay in children’s literature and popular culture.

I knew these books all my life. As I child I laughed aloud at the ridiculous situations and humour. As an adult (eeeekkkk, that's so freaky to say!!) I understood and loved the wittiness and whimsical beauty. The whole series (Winnie-the-Pooh, When We Were Very Young, & Now We Are Six) is amazing, but this is my favourite book of the series. <33

3. On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder. 

Based on the real-life adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, On the Banks of Plum Creek is the Newbery Honor-winning fourth book in the Little House series, which has captivated generations of readers. This edition features the classic black-and-white artwork from Garth Williams.

The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota. They settle into a house made of sod on the banks of beautiful Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds them a sturdier house, with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and Mary go to school, help with the chores around the house, and fish in the creek. Pa’s fiddle lulls them all to sleep at the end of the day. But then disaster strikes—on top of a terrible blizzard, a grasshopper infestation devours their wheat crop. Now the family must work harder than ever to overcome these challenges. The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family sticking together through thick and thin.

Ah, yes, the Little House books. <33 I can't remember life without these books. I remember reading them when I was five or younger. I read them so much, copied out parts and created new stories from them, played being the Ingalls, and loved my books to pieces. I've been rereading them this year, seeing them though a grownup's eyes, and I still love them. <3

4. Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter.

When Pollyanna Whittier goes to live with her sour-tempered aunt after her father's death, things seem bad enough, but then a dreadful accident ensues. However, Pollyanna's sunny nature and good humour prove to have an astonishing effect on all around her, and this wonderful tale of how cheerfulness can conquer adversity has remained one of the world's most popular children's books since its first publication in 1913.

Pollyanna. Oh, Pollyanna. What a wave of nostalgia! This book reminds me to Beatrix Potter books ( I was obsessed with those around the time that I discovered Pollyanna), the smell of mown grass, swinging outside on a summer afternoon, early writing attempts... so many happy memories. <3

5. The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit.

When their father mysteriously disappears “on business,” Roberta, Peter, Phyllis, and their mother suddenly turn poor and are obliged to leave London and move to the country. Here they fall in love with the railway and befriend the people that work and travel upon it. They meet and make friends with several country people, all the while wondering at Mother’s different behaviour and Father’s non-return. When Bobbie stumbles upon the cause of poor Father’s disappearance, can a new friend save her father from his undeserved predicament and reunite the family? 

I wrote that synopsis. I know this book inside and out. I have read it so often. Peter and Bobbie and Phyllis live for me. Their house I can see clearly in my head. The beauty and humour of this book captures my heart each time I revisit it. If you haven't read it yet, go do so now. It's free.

5 Favourite Books About Siblings | Five Fall Favourites Blog Party |

Hey people! It is post 4 of the Five Fall Favourites Blog Party and I’m having so much fun!! As always, make sure to check out Rebekah's blog for all the information and for links to the FFF girls! :) And there's an amazing giveaway going on, so don't forget to enter it!! (If we reach 75 people the girls are adding a second prize!)

Today's genre is Siblings... so here are five of my favourite books of the year that spotlighted sibling relationships! ;D I have a strong liking for those kinds of books. ;) Again, these books are arranged by alphabetical order.

1. By Paths Unknown by Rebekah A. Morris.

Could God bring peace from such a winding path? 

Austin Sparks is doing his best to hold his family together in the wake of his mom's death, but the world continues to spin out of his control. When his dad announces that the family is moving to their grandparents' ranch in South Dakota, it's anyone's guess whether the change will bring healing or just more heartache. 

Back on the ranch, Austin finds hope in the familiar surroundings and help in his loving clan of relatives. But can his dad somehow overcome his grief? Will his siblings ever feel at home? And can Austin trust God to guide them all even when the path seems darkest?

This book is just sweet and simple and realistic. I love the relationships between Austin and his three younger siblings, and the relationship between his aunt and father. Besides the family scenes, this book also has a lovely and encouraging message about following God even if you're not sure where you're heading.

2. From Anna by Jean Little.

Nine-year-old Anna has always been the clumsy one in the family - somehow she can never do anything right. She bumps into tables, and she can't read the chalkboard at school. Her perfect brothers and sisters call her "Awkward Anna."

When Papa announces that the family is moving from Germany to Canada--he's worried about what the Nazis' rise to power will bring--Anna's heart sinks. How can she learn English when she can't even read German properly? 

But when the Soldens arrive in Canada, Anna learns that there is a reason for her clumsiness. And suddenly, wonderfully, her whole world begins to change, especially when new friends at her special school help her stand up to bullies who call her names. 

A truly heartwarming story, From Anna will resonate with any child who has ever felt left out.

I love this book because I really identify with Anna. We all have times when we feel "the odd one out." This book is a lovely reminder that we need to make time to talk to people, especially the "odd ones"--and I think it's a good reminder for children who have siblings with a handicap or a difficulty. Anna's siblings all either ignore or underrate her... but they still love her, and they will learn her worth.

3. Unbroken by Rebekah A. Morris. 

Difficulties arise at Triple Creek Ranch when Orlena, Norman Mavrich’s spoiled, pampered younger sister comes to live with her brother and his wife. The move is much against Orlena’s wishes, and she doesn’t hesitate to let everyone know it. Time and again Mr. & Mrs. Mavrich are driven to their knees to find strength to face another day. Join the young ranch boss, Norman Mavrich, his sweet wife, Jenelle, and the rest of the members of Triple Creek Ranch as they strive to be examples of Christ to the unbroken newcomer.

If you know anything about me, you know I love drama. This story has plenty of drama. I love how Norman has to learn to deal with his sister--and Orlena has to learn to obey her brother! The ending is as dramatic as the heart could wish xD and ended up making me cry... a beautiful story of sibling love. :)

PS. This book is currently free!

4. The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss.

The Robinsons leave their home in Switzerland planning to settle half a world away. But things do not turn out as they had expected. The sole survivors of a terrible shipwreck, they wash ashore to learn that the danger has only begun. Their new world will test their courage, cleverness, endurance, and faith as they struggle to survive and create a civilization of their own in the wilderness. 

This is one of my favourite classics. I love all the family scenes that fill this book, and how they all have to work together, using their individual talents, to survive. Fritz, Ernest, Jack, & Franz are typical siblings, and when they help each other, work together, play together, squabble together, and tease each other, they add a lot of the humour of this book. ;)

5. The Tangled Skein by Alta Halverson Seymour.  

For years Norway has been under Nazi occupation, but now that World War II is finally over, Solveig Strand is returning home. As a ten-year-old, she had been sent to Scotland five years before, and in all this time she has received no letters from her parents, brothers, sister or beloved grandmother, Besta. Are they even alive? On the boat sailing to Norway are other Norwegians from Solveig’s village of Helsing, including Einar Utgaard and Ragna Skolvold, who had both been friends of her older sister and brothers. The returning refugees do not know exactly what awaits them at home, but all are eager to begin the rebuilding of their lives.      

Upon their arrival in Helsing, Solveig is distressed to find the Strand house empty and partially destroyed, but she is even more shocked by the cold and malevolent suspicion surrounding the Strand name. Circumstances of accusation and distrust continue to pile up one upon another, until Solveig is reminded of her Besta’s words about untangling a snarled skein of yarn, “Just get a hold of one end and start working.” Confronting, at first, the doubt of even her friends, Einar and Ragna, Solveig sets herself to follow Besta’s advice. Normally quiet and shy, Solveig determines to take whatever action is necessary to find her family and to discover the real story about their activities during the Nazi regime. But there is a risk in this pursuit, for though the occupation is officially at an end, deadly malice is yet at work—malice now aimed directly at Solveig. 

This tale of loyalty and betrayal is vividly played out against the background of a country struggling to start anew after the devastation of war.

This book is a great example of a girl determined to prove the loyalty of her family. When everyone thinks that Solveig's family members are traitors to Norway, she is determined to find the truth and show that they aren't. How she sets about it, and how she fights against popular dislike, is inspiring. Solveig's trust in her brothers when everyone says they are quislings and Nazis is particularly sweet. It's an exciting book, but I love it more for the characters and sibling relationship. <3

My review is currently not online, but I will be posting it on my blog soon.   

So there you are. I hope you check these books out! Be sure to head over to Rebekah's blog to enter the amazing giveaway and to get more book recommendations!

5 Favourite Historical Nonfictions | Five Fall Favourites Blog Party |

Today's genre is Historical Nonfiction. I loooove history so this was lovely! :) 

As before, these books are arranged by alphabetical order.

1. The First World War for Children by John Malam.

The First World War was the world’s first ‘total war’. Although large-scale wars like the Napoleonic wars had ranged across many territories, the scale of the First World War was unprecedented. It was also the first war between modern, industrialised nations and mechanised warfare saw new and terrifying weapons deployed for the first time, including airplanes, tanks, zeppelins, giant warships and poison gas. Now, on the verge of the centenary of the start of the First World War, this fact-packed information book relates the unfolding events and the human stories in a way that brings history vividly to life.

This book was quite impressive! It was interesting, full of information, well-done, and very useful for research and just enjoyable reading for a history nut or WWI nerd. xD  

{ My Review }

3. Hana's Suitcase by Karen Levine.

In March 2000, a suitcase arrived at a children's Holocaust education center in Tokyo, Japan from the Auschwitz museum in Germany. Fumiko Ishioka, the center's curator, was captivated by the writing on the outside that identified its owner: "Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Waisenkind (the German word for orphan)." Children visiting the center were full of questions. Who was Hana Brady? Where did she come from? What was she like? What happened to her? Inspired by their curiosity and her own need to know, Fumiko began a year of detective work, scouring the world for clues. Her search led her from present-day Japan, Europe and North America back to 1938 Czechoslovakia to learn the story of Hana Brady, a fun-loving child with wonderful parents, a protective big brother, and a passion for ice skating, their happy life turned upside down by the invasion of the Nazis.

This story was heart-breaking. So much life, such youth, so many dreams, such potential--snuffed out by prejudice and hate. I seldom cry for real stories, but this one made me tear up...

3. Our Island Story by Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall.

H.E. Marshall was looking for a way to tell her young children about the History of England, so she wrote a history book for young readers. Intertwined are English folklore and true Tales of English History. The story spans from the early days of Britain, starting around the Roman Empire, to shortly after World War I.

This book was my first history book and I adored it. I still love it now. It is interesting and full of lovely stories and poems, and it is refreshing to have the nasty details of history unmentioned for once. 

{ My Review }

4. Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall.

THE INTERNATIONAL AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER; All leaders are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to understand world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements...but if you don't know geography, you'll never have the full picture.; To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port - hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are - and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states. Spread over ten chapters (covering Russia; China; the USA; Latin America; the Middle East; Africa; India and Pakistan; Europe; Japan and Korea; and Greenland and the Arctic), using maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of the widely travelled author, Prisoners of Geography looks at the past, present and future to offer an essential guide to one of the major determining factors in world history.

This was an amazing read! It was an approach I had never seen before--how geography forces nations to act a certain way and thus creates history. It was humorous and well-written, and its historical information was really very interesting. 

P.S. I actually read this book in French, but I assume it's no different in English.

5. Where Poppies Grow by Linda Granfield.

When World War I began in 1914, no one knew that millions of young people would die in the agonizing years ahead. No one imagined the effect it would have on family life, or that whole villages would disappear, or that entire nations would be changed forever. They believed their sons and daughters, mothers and fathers would be home by Christmas. They were tragically mistaken.

With photos, memorabilia, and anecdotes, Linda Granfield brings us face-to-face with people from all walks of life who risked everything for their country. These painstakingly-gathered bits and pieces are remnants of conflict on a scale never before witnessed. Hastily-penned letters, notes written in code, and prayers for deliverance form an eloquent portrait of humanity, and a startling comment on the devastation of war.

This little book was very impressive! It was beautiful, thought-provoking, and full of letters, stories, cards, and pictures.

1. On the Edge of the Fjord by Alta Halverson Seymour.

No one dreamed that the Nazis would ever bother Valcos, the sleepy little Norwegian fishing village on the edge of the deep fjord. However, its happy, carefree life ended when Nazi officers quartered themselves in the Engeland home with the intention of securing Captain Engeland’s influential help. Petra Engeland, only fourteen, had good reason then to transfer her resourcefulness in mischief to grimmer tasks involving life or death, and her first undertaking was to warn her father, still away with the larger of the fishing boats, of the trap awaiting him. Against a background of mountains, caves and fjords, Petra and her impetuous brother Martin—with numerous other Norwegians, young and old—take part in daring schemes right under the noses of the occupying forces. Published before WW II was at an end, this tale retains its sense of immediacy and courage in the face of great adversity.

This book is set in one of my favourite countries. I first fell in love with Norway when reading Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan (which is a 5-star read--so good!!). This book, and The Tangled Skein, deepened that love. This book is just full of amazing characters, excitement, and pilots. xD I just really love it. ;) 

{ My Review }

2. Maori & Settler by G.A. Henty.

The Renshaws emigrate to New Zealand during the period of the war with the natives. Wilfrid, a strong, self-reliant, courageous lad, is the mainstay of the household. He has for his friend Mr. Atherton, a botanist and naturalist of herculean strength and unfailing nerve and humor. In the adventures among the Maoris, there are many breathless moments in which the odds seem hopelessly against the party, but they succeed in establishing themselves happily in one of the pleasant New Zealand valleys.

This is my favourite Henty book--very high praise. It is extremely humorous and very exciting, and set in another country I have a particular affection for--New Zealand. The characters are amazing, and the details of the war are quite interesting. I really, really enjoy it. 

{ My Review }

3. In Freedom's Cause by G.A. Henty. 

At the end of the thirteenth century, the oppressed people of Scotland rebelled against their despised English ruler, Edward Longshanks. In Freedom's Cause recounts the Scots' desperate but ultimately triumphant struggle in the face of overwhelming odds--a hard-fought series of battles conducted under the leadership of William Wallace and Robert Bruce.

Time has burnished the feats of these great heroes to mythic proportions, but Wallace and Bruce were real people. This gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and ingenuity recounts their deeds within an accurate historical context. Readers join their company alongside a fictional protagonist, young Archie Forbes, whose estates have been wrongfully confiscated. Archie forms a group of scouts to fight alongside the legendary Scottish chieftains (who were memorably portrayed in the film Braveheart) for their country's independence.

Scotland is one of my very very favourite countries and has been so for years. And this is probably the book that sparked that love. ;) Wallace is still a huge hero of mine. This book has been read so often, but I love it so much still. ^_^ 

I do not yet have a review written of this book. 

4. Mr. Pipes & the British Hymn Makers by Douglas Bond.

Early teens who love adventure and the Christian faith will enjoy reading this fictional account of two young Americans, Annie and Drew, who are on vacation in England. These young people wind up learning a great deal about famous British hymn writers as they are befriended by an elderly gentleman called Mr. Pipes. They also learn a lot about the value of traditional worship and praise.

Oh, how I love this book. It is set in my very favourite country--England--and is full of English hymns and English culture and beautiful English countryside and ahhhh... <33 I love it so so much.

5. Exiles from the War by Jean Little.  

When a frightened girl and boy arrive on the Twiss family's doorstep to escape the Blitz, Charlotte wonders how she will keep her war guests from missing their parents back home, or from cowering every time a plane flies overhead. Though the war is being waged across the Atlantic, Charlotte begins to feel its danger, as her brother George defies their parents and enlists in the Navy. 

After months of receiving letters from overseas, suddenly there is no word from him - has the unthinkable happened and George's ship been sunk by a German submarine.

Charlotte Twiss's diary shows her innermost feelings about her life on the Canadian homefront, as she helps her war guests "settle in" and wonders whether her brother is safe from harm.

And I had to include a book from my country. ;) This is my favourite Dear Canada book because it is so simple and normal and homey and... It's just daily life in the 1940s. And I love it.
