FERRON READS

I have been reading Mary Higgins Clark's older books recently and have quite enjoyed them. So when her new book came out, I was excited.

"Daddy's Gone A Hunting: a Novel"
by Mary Higgins Clark

When a fire at Connelly Fine Antique Reproductions during the night levels the building and also the museum housed inside, you know that trouble is going to follow. Gus Schmidt, a retired craftsman is dead, and one of the daughters of the owner is in a coma. What were they doing there and why?

This book has the makings of a great story. Although I enjoyed the book, I wish it held my interest like her older books did. I thought that there were too many different people with individual stories that made it hard for me to follow. There was a lot going on in this book and at the end it finally all comes together.
Give this book by the "Queen of Suspense" a try and let me know what you think.

"Good Thing You're Not an Octopus"
 by Julie Markes
 

A beginning children's book about a boy that doesn't want to do his daily routine. He doesn't like to get dressed in the morning, but if he was an octopus he would have eight legs to put into pants instead of two. If he was a shark, instead of a boy, he would have to brush 200 teeth.

It's a fun story that just comes down to "it's a good think that you're you!"
