Gary R. Varner

Del Rey, 1994

Unusual and Wonderful
I've read Ms Dexter since her first book came out and she hasn't lost her talent for quirky characters and wonderful, terrible worlds. I actually like this better than the other Warhorse books. (Incidently, you don't have to read any of the others in order to enjoy the rest of the "trilogy") This book is full of the reality of farm life before mechanism. More than any of her novels to date, ...

Four Winds, 1992

THIS WAS ONE OF MY CHILDREN'S FAVORITES.
I read this one to my children back in the 1960s and have since read it to my grandchildren. This is a pleasing, playful story of a young mother and her son who purchase a very old house to turn into a tea room. After lighting a fire in the fire place, they find the house already has a owner, a very old witch. The story is funny, well written and the art work is quite good. Highly recommend ...

The Start of Something Special!
Wow, is my first thought when i think about this book, Cate has done it again, I love the characters Clio and Thais, my favorite is Clio because she's not learning she's experiencing unlike thais who is also over emotional! Thais was forced into this life, a life she would rather not be experiencing and because she knows nothing, her journey is more based on learning and discovery but clio, who ...

A wonderful story with an important lesson
I loved this book as a child and was overjoyed to find it in a thrift store, just by chance. It contains important lessons such as friendship, acceptance, and tolerance. My 3 year old loves to hear this story right before her afternoon nap. I'm so proud to be able to share it with her.
