Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

This book was first published in 1882, though is has remained timeless. This is a book for anyone that likes adventure and excitement. Jim Hawkins and his mother and father run a Inn called the "Admiral Ben Bow." This is a classic Pirate story told in retrospect by a youth Jim Hawkins and takes us into a long-gone pirate world of Long John Silver with treasure in it. The story has colorful language, but never foul. I thought the story flowed nicely. I thought it was a wonderful book and I had a lot of fun reading it and I hope you do too.

The Basket of Flowers by Christoph Von Schmid

If you want to find just the right book that makes girls want to walk in the fruit of the Spirit, this is definitely the one. It is about a girl named Mary, who is quiet and gentle, and is befriended by the countess Amelia. Their friendship grows, and for Amelia's Birthday, Mary presents her with a beautiful basket of flowers. However, when Amelia decides to make Mary a present in return, her maid becomes jealous. Find out Mary's long-suffering, and hardships caused by Juliet in this favorite book of mine.
