[Review]- 'Eclipsed by Shadow' (The Legend of the Great Horse) by John Royce

This book left a lasting impression on me. I finished it in two nights. The author, John Royce, has created a wonderful epic that blends fantasy and history, a cross between Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the Time Machine. He employs his extensive knowledge of horse history to provide us with the first adventure in the Legend of the Great Horse Trilogy. The dialogue and descriptions are skillfully written to both entertain and educate both young adults and adults.

[Review]- 'The Haunting of Grade Three' by Grace Maccarone

Billy Burgess books , fiction

Elmwood Elementary was overcrowded, so the third grade was forced to relocate to the old Blackwell mansion.

[Review]- Ann M. Martin: The Story of the Author of "The Baby-sitters Club"

Billy Burgess books , non-fiction

I was fortunate to come across this out-of-print book at a thrift store. This is an excellent autobiography that I would recommend to any Ann Martin fan or children's book author.
