Run Forest run!
An awesome film that will grow on you with repeat viewings. It has become one of my fave films. I love how the story progresses over the years of the characters lifetime and ties into real historical events. A very heartwarming film. If you missed it put it to the top of your must watch list.

Bright and colourfully presented, this "in 30 seconds" book about the Vikings is targeted at middle-grade readers but accessible by older students as well. It is well laid out and leaves information easily found. Illustrations are meaningful and show the lives of these well know historical people.
Overall, this is a pleasant read, that adds to information and one I would happily put in my youngster's library.

Good gravy this book is amazing! I was not 100% sure I would like it given the fact it's not typically the type of book I'd read, but I'm so glad I took a chance on it as I learned a great deal from this book and thoroughly enjoyed the ride the book give. I would definitely recommend this book, even if you're not typically one that goes for historical stories.

The slow march toward the crucifixion continues as we get the story of tax collector Zachai of Jericho. While this historical fiction series has been more hit and miss than normal for the Thoenes, I got emotionally drawn into this volume even though I knew the ultimate outcome.
