Father Tim is facing retirement, but that certainly doesn’t slow him down. As usual, lots is happening in Mitford. Esther Cunningham, who has been the undisputed mayor of Mitford for many years, faces an opponent in the upcoming election, Miss Sadie’s house is beginning to fall into disrepair and Father Tim has to find a buyer for it, and they’re still trying to locate Dooley’s siblings. And to top it all off, the Sweet Stuff Bakery may be closing!
What can I say? It’s another great Mitford. All the characters, old and new, are just as real as before. Hooray for Mitford!

This book begins when a fleet of boats comes from New Orleans carrying supplies to settlers in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, the Indians are rallying together to drive all settlers from their land. The Indians attack the fleet while it is in the narrow areas on the Ohio River. The fleet has to force their way through to help a settlement in time, after being told by Henry Ware that it was in danger.
I liked this book for two reasons. Because I like books with adventure in them, and this book is the sequel to Kentucky Frontiersmen.

Princess Irene finds her great-great-grandmother and eventually the princess gets a ring from her that will lead her to her great-great-grandmother, also called Irene. One day, Princess Irene and her nurse go for a walk up the mountain and don’t realize how late it was until it’s almost dark. The nurse panics, because it’s against the king’s orders to be out after dark, since the night was the goblins’ day and there were many of the creatures in the mountain, and they began running down the mountain. They met Curtie, a miner’s brave boy, who rescued them from any dangers of goblins by rhyming verses, which is one way of defeating goblins.
Great book! I didn’t stay away from this book very much! I started it last night and finished it a little earlier today. I found out there’s a sequel to this book called The Princess and Curdie. Also, let me tell you that the summary I wrote is definitely not all the plot!!! There’s a bunch to this book. Adventures, rescue, and magic. This book might not be best for readers about 7 or 8 and under, depending on how easily you’re scared. Though there are some big-words-that-I-wasn’t-sure-what-they-meant in The Princess and the Goblin, this is still a good book!

When Melissa’s Uncle Fred receives some very unusual eggs for his pet shop, they prove to be lots and lots of different dragons! Melissa agrees to take them home and document their likes, dislikes, and general behaviors. For example, the Nidgets are rather timid and find comfort with small, round objects, the Dweebs tend to be a bit destructive, the Floaters are very useful in housecleaning, the Camos will eat everything in sight, and so on…
Wonderful! Find this book right away and read it! The dragons are so funny, and the illustrations are excellent. You may enjoy the special bonus of the dragons’ “latin names” in the end of the book. The Camos’ is “Gluetenous Fridgidarium.” Unfortunately, How to Choose Your Dragon is out of print, but you should check your library—they might just have it!

Now that Father Tim and Cynthia are married (you knew they would), they have to adjust to life together. Plus, Father Tim has a brand new set of things to deal with. He can’t figure out Lord’s Chapel’s new computer system, Cynthia is redecorating and moving furniture, J. C. Hogan is acting strange, he’s got to hire a chaplain for Hope House, and he and Cynthia have a life-changing experience while camping.
Whew! Father Tim is a very busy man! The third book in the Mitford series is just as enjoyable as the first two. Everybody is as real as before. I love this series, and I hope you will, too.
