Update

I have been so busy with my father's funeral and also all the estate stuff that I haven't blogged as much as I should so I am going to make up for it now. Since I have blogged I have read Ida B. Coraline, The Root Cellar and The Moves Make the Man. These are all wonderful books. Ida B. was a great book about hardships and healing as well as growing up and imagination. The Moves Make the Man is also a book about a child who's mother is suffering with an illness. This one is mental illness. The children all overcome obstacles such as lonliness (Root Cellar an Coraline) and illness (The Moves Make the Man and Ida B.) These have all been great reads and helpful to young readers I feel by way of showing that all children have hardships as well as the ability to overcome obstacles. The theme running through all of them is just that. Even thouh time shift fantasy and modern fantasy were the genre's of two of them. I really enjoy this class and it is great to get to read books that are easy reads though they have a lot of meaning and are great works of literature.
