I loved this sad but satisfying story because of Adunni's courage and spirit. Abi Dare has a beautiful African voice and she makes Adunni seem so real. The thoughts in this little girl's head are profound and so well-written. Every girl needs a louding voice.
The Gatekeeper by Richard Blackburn

Step back in time to Medieval England with Jenny (from today) and an assortment of good and evil characters. This is a unique blend of historical fact and fiction that will have you wanting more.

Thankfully, Richard Blackburn [a:Richard Blackburn] has continued the series with 'Rudigor's Revenge' [b:Rudigor's Revenge] and 'The Regiment'[b:The Regiment|4284825|A guide to Canadian shoulder titles, 1939-1985 A collector's and historian's comprehensive guide to the cloth shoulder titles worn by the regiments and corps of the Canadian Army in 1939-1985|Donal J Sexton|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|4332378].

The River Baptists by Belinda Castles
3.0
This is an award-winning Australian book. It was difficult to get into but by about chapter 5 it moved along nicely. Just enough descriptive narrative and believable dialogue. A strange story that shows Aussie river life and the unusual characters of a small town. I liked the insight into what made the characters tick. It didn't quite have enough resolution for me but I guess I'm too much of a romantic.
