"When I grew a little older my father read me the murder scene in this book and said: This is what violent literature should be like, son. He was right. This is one of the most influential books I’ve read and it affected the writing of my own book. My father gave me a very special feeling about written words"

I don't usually read children's books but this one was written by friends of a good friend of mine. And who wouldn't want to read a beautifully illustrated book about a mouse detective that is hunting for lost notes written by Mozart?

3.75 stars. I'm finding these books are getting better with each one.

I liked this one, seeing Cage find the girl who would tame his wild ways after reading about his shenanigans in the previous book. I also liked Eva, though I didn't entirely feel her at the beginning. She grew on me.

On to Preston and Manda's story next.

A simple yet clever book to read to children. They will love the illustrations, I know I did, as the story unfolds about a mother and her cubs. A strong message is put in a way that the children will enjoy and remember, rather than just being scared.

Good morning, wonderful people! Some books really do have that quality, the ones that arrive at exactly the right moment and open something up in you that you didn't know was waiting to be opened. It's worth thinking about which ones have done that for you and why.

Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

Good afternoon, lovely people! I think that's a lovely way of putting it, because the best books don't just inform you but change the way you feel about things. They can expand your capacity for understanding and empathy in ways you don't always notice until much later.

Have a Magnificent Monday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

The second book in Michael Arnold's planned <i>Captain Stryker</i> series of books, all set during the time of the English Civil War.

Despite being one of the defining period in English history, it's actually a subject rarely touched upon: when I was at school, we were taught more about the American Civil War than about the English counter-part! Short of this series, I can't - personally - think of any other novels set in and around the same period.

Like Cornwell's [i]Sharpe[/i] series of books, the events of this are all set in and around real historical events: in this case, the storming of Cirencester, the siege of Lichfield and the battle of Hopton Heath. If I'm honest, I wasn't familiar with any of these events, which is something I've always enjoyed about this type of book: a chance to learn some new history while also enjoying a good read! :)
