...Ransom has penned a wonderful new series that is sure to win over readers of all ages, and get them excited over history!
Eight-year-old Alex Chapman doesn't know what to expect when his parents inform him that he, along with his two sisters (Mattie, nine; and Sophie, five), are moving to a creaky country inn, where they'll be the new proprietors, welcoming guests of all shapes and sizes with open arms.

Fantastic!~
This is truly a wonderful book! This story is told by the little girl who is going to town with her mother for the morning. She has a big green pocketbook, just like Mama's, but hers is empty and she can't find anything to put inside it. Mama says "hurry", because the bus is coming, so the little girl brings her empty pocketbook along anyway. During the course of the morning, she gathers many ...

The Promise Quilt6 reviews

A book for your child that will make you weep
Both of my Grandmothers quilted, but no other family members seem to believe in the magic of a homemade quilt. I purchased this book for my three preschool daughters. Little did I know what a powerful read aloud opportunity this is. You get: children helping without complaining, a girl who wants to go to school to learn to make her mark, a history lesson, unselfishness, strangers helping ...

Susannah (Sunfire, No 2)14 reviews

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1984
She's not Scarlett... and that's a good thing!
Despite the image on the back cover, Susannah isn't Scarlett. She's a resiliant, strong girl who doesn't wallow in melodrama. War is not romanticized in this book - not only is the loss of life unflinchingly told, but the terrible price that those on the homefront faced - poverty, starvation, and a generally unsettled life. But this isn't a grim story, because of the romance between Susannah ...

Emily (Sunfire, No 11)7 reviews

Scholastic, 1985
An Exciting and Educational Book
Emily was my favorite book as a child. It taught me a lot about the history of women in medicine and since it describes the dawn of the 20th century, it is especially relevant now, as we face the dawn of the 21st century. Emily is a love story. A young debutante falls in love with a poor medical student and, at the same time, with the world of medicine. Much to her family's shock and ...
