Mad about My Heart Uncross
A historical fiction piece set during the Great Depression about a young man who jumps on a train to find out he’s just joined a circus. It has everything- a great plot, action, romance, and is based on real facts. My friends and I finished this book within a few days. Couldn’t keep it down.
Uncross My Heart
Heart a Soldier of change
I have read every book Mr.Stewart has written. He is not a Pulitzer prize winner by accident, his writing is masterful and compelling, but I resisted reading Heart of a Soldier at first because I thought it was way out of Mr.Stewart’s area of topics, and therefore it sat on my Amazon’s wish list for quite some time. Finally, I decided to buy it and boy would I have missed out on one hell of a book if I had done otherwise. This is a book about extraordinary people and one in particular, Rick Riscolda. His life is depicted here without varnish or ornaments, none are needed.
With the help of Mr. Stewart Rick Riscolda has become one of those rare individuals whom the world should hear from, should learn and take comfort from. This is a wonderful life that beacons light, and light, lots of it is what we need in this world. To Mr. Riscolda, you have made another fellow american proud; to Mr. Stewart the merit of having enabled the rest of us, outside of his immediate circle, to meet this extraordinary human being.

Heart the Defy Not series
Don’t know if it was my dash angle or the material it’s made of, but this thing would slide a bit. It’s a bit bulky as well. I found that I could mount my GPS to a cup holder and it worked fine from there.

Take away Heart Whip Heart 2
Eoin Colfer has earned my undying admiration: He writes a truly entertaining and unique youth novel. Artemis Fowl is complex, it’s unpredictable, it’s imaginative, it has some gruesome descriptions, and it is really, really good.
Colfer’s focal point is the wanna-be evil boy genius. He’s all genius, but he can’t quite bring himself to be truly evil, and the conflict in character is fascinating to read. Colfer latches on to a real problem that so many youth identify with, sadly–the absentee parents for reasons that even they can’t always help. Although Colfer acknowledges this issue, he doesn’t preach, he just lets it be, and allows Artemis to make his own mess and dig his way out.
Colfer’s imaginative LEP unit and Foaly are great fun to read. I can’t wait to get into the second novel, and I would not hesitate to recommend this series to any upper elementary/middle school aged reader, either in years or at heart. 
Order the series without reserve and enjoy!
