Hatchet 1162 reviews Gary Paulsen
Aladdin, 2006
An Exciting Survival Story
+ Fear Is Not An Option + One of the best I've ever read!
Hatchet is one of Gary Paulsen's finest works. I think his goal was to establish a great young adult novel that is easy to become immersed in. He looks to create a book that is enjoyable and also has a lot of useful information about life in the wilderness.
Paulsen, a writer from Minneapolis, ...

Quetzalcoatl and Guadalupe: The Formation of Mexican National Consciousness, 1531-1813 Jacques Lafaye
University Of Chicago Press, 1987
"In this study of complex beliefs in which Aztec religion and Spanish Catholicism blend, Lafaye demonstrates the importance of religious beliefs in the formation of the Mexican nation. Far from being of only parochial interest, this volume is of great value to any historian of religions concerned with problems of nativism and syncretism."—Franke J. Neumann, Religious Studies Review

Last Dance on Holladay Street 2 reviews Elisa Carbone
Laurel Leaf, 2006
Eva Is Awesome! So is Elisa!
+ Carbone's Western
I'd recently read Elisa Carbone's wonderful _Storm Warriors_, set on North Carolina's Outer Banks, and found _Last Dance_ at the library. It's just as meticulously researched and carefully crafted as _Storm Warriors_, not to mention just as much of a good read.
Even though I'm a 44-year-old ...
