This is another loving book for young reader. The Bear family go on an adventure and explore what the Harvest festival. This is their first one and new tradition. You can see their community. You enjoy the adventure.

The pictures can tell the story and goes along with it. Your children learn along the way with it. It great for beginner readers. The pictures are quite nicely down and you can enjoy the pictures and so can young children.

The book does teach about the festival and teamwork and community. It is a sweet book and you do see Brother and Sister's little sister Honey.

I loved it. I chose to read this book because it's by my favorite author and second book in the Teardrop series. This series is very emotional and about the rise of Atlantis. It had an unspected ending as well.

Two things I loved about the series was the love story and how the story deals with the main characters emotions. For example, how it shows you shouldn't bottle your emotions up inside. My favorite character's in it would probably be her younger twin brother William and sister Claire. I also liked Brooks as well.

I 100% recommend

The best anne of green gables movie made
Contains spoilers, click to show
I remember when this movie came out on one as part of the wonderworks collection of movies. Megan follows is perfect as Anne Shirley an orphan with a great imagination and a fiery temper and spirit. She is sent to live with brother and sister Matthew and marilla Cuthbert played by colleen dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth they are also perfectly cast. Anne meets friends and foes and has scraps and trials and tribulations. Some involving her bosom friend Diana berry and school rival Gilbert blythe! Perfect for the whole family
  
Trixie thinks she sees a shark in the Hudson, and her brother Brian is losing health and focus.

And the fact that I can summarize the plot in one complex sentence like that tells you about all you need to know on this one. The characters are out of character (all of them, not just Brian), with Trixie being at her worst. And the two plots? Neither carries the book and both are rather disappointing. There are a few fun character moments, but that’s about it.

Monk and Natalie return from New Jersey to find a dead woman in Natalie's bathtub. Then Monk's brother wants them to track down his missing girlfriend. Can they do it? As always, the plots are fun and really take advantage of Monk's abilities. However, it's what Lee does with the characters that really makes them shine. It's an outgrowth of the last few books and is what I am going to miss most after the last one of these comes out next year.

This Romance is about a man looking for someone to take care of his niece Isabella. Jack lost his sister and brother in law. He was now fighting custody for his niece. His lawyer suggestion the only way he was going to keep his niece Isabella was to marry. Jack swore he would not marry ever.

Jack has his reason for this. You find out about it in the book as your progress but he was looking for a nanny for his niece and did he find a wife he could not let go. There are secects that get revel though this romance book.
  
Okay, so we haven't played the campaign yet, but this is the first full and proper D&D campaign book I have read. I am planning on DMing a version of this with my brother for his friends, and although we are changing some things to this plot, we are going to be using this and the next book in the series to help us with our first actual campaign.

I am really excited for this because it has both fights and character driven plot points that we'll be able to use to test our players in different ways. I can't wait to play this one out!
