This is a wonderful account of the 16th century journey around the world led by Magellan. This is really worth reading for those interested in basic world history or specifically the Age of Discovery.

At many times the story brought me to tears. John Irving’s storytelling is complex and many of his characters are richly developed, I now know some of them better than some of my friends. Like many Irving books, the story takes some wild turns and I am in awe at how he can create such a remarkable story. I was captivated through most of the book as he told the tale of three people who cope through the overwhelming accidents of life. A must for Irving fans.

I have been reading this wonderful board book to my son since he was one year old. The illustrations are fabulous with brilliant colors of spring including lilac, columbine and ladybugs. The story is fun because it can be interactive. For example, when the bunny yawns, my son and I yawn. When the bunny stretches, we stretch. Although the publisher recommends it for ages 4-8 years old, I found it to be great starting at 1 year old.

The 2nd book in the Fate of the Jedi series brings a reader all the excitement of previous Star Wars books.  A powerful Sith order becomes a main storyline and by the end of the book, you just know that a Sith and Jedi confrontation is brewing that will be unparalleled in the Lucas universe.  This Sith order will rival the Jedi order. The story still includes all the important characters that a Star Wars fan loves, but this building threat of the Sith holds the reader through the book.  The book is also available in audio.

Set two years before Star Wars:  A New Hope, this book should be read by every Star Wars fan.  The book tells a brilliant tale of one of Darth Vader's apprentices and how the Rebel Alliance was started.

This book is the fascinating story of the Mayflower voyage and the first 50 years of Plymouth Colony. The history of the Mayflower and Plymouth are often idealized, but Philbrick’s account based on extensive research, paints the early settlers and their descendents in more realistic light. Everything you ever needed to know about the Pilgrims and more.
