Somehow, every winter, a thousand elk disappear from a national park. To find out why, Tom Rainse (of A Nose for Trouble fame) sends Jase Mason, a wildlife photographer, into the park to find out. And what he finds is shocking. Now, if only he can get out of the park alive…
Not quite as exciting as some other Kjelgaard books, but still pretty good. Jase being a photographer, there’s a lot of him taking pictures, which sometimes is a little boring. The conclusion is good, if not a bit sudden. Still a good read, though.

Bonfire is back, and Tom is nervously preparing for the Hambletonion when disaster strikes. Only a few weeks before the great race, Tom is involved in a racing accident, leaving him un-hurt, but leaving Bonfire terrified of any horse trying to pass him on his right side. Alec Ramsey, who came to see Bonfire the day of the accident stays to help Tom. Unfortunately, yet another accident leaves Tom with a broken thigh bone. With the help of Henry Daily, Alec tries to cure Bonfire of his fear in time for the Hambeltonion.
This is the sequel to The Black Stallion’s Blood Bay Colt. Comparing the two, this book’s race at the end was even more heart-pounding. I kept finding myself only a few inches away from the pages!

Father Tim and Cynthia are farm sitting for the Owens, when his bishop gives him a new challenge: Fix up and open an old church in the mountains. However, he also has to do a few other things, such as raise Sammy Barlowe. Father Tim is pleasantly surprised to meet a lot of new friends in the mountains, but some of them are not very happy to see the church re-open.
The concluding novel in the Mitford Years series is definitely a good one. There’s a lot of things that Jan Karon leaves hanging. (I guess that’s so you’ll want to read the Father Tim novels) You’ll enjoy Light from Heaven as much as the preceding books.

A shopkeeper has two pets — a big goose, and a little white duck who can only quack very softly. A big boy wants to buy them for his mother, and because of a misconception that it was to be a present for him, his grandfather helps the big boy buy them. The grandfather is determined to eat the goose, but will the goose be able to prove himself useful before it’s too late?
This is a great book. There are some funny things in it. Please read this book! It’s pretty large print and it didn’t take me very, very, very long to read it. However, it’s probably larger than a normal picture book. Unfortunately, The Big Goose and the Little White Duck seems to be out of print.
