Review: Sara and the Search for Normal

Sara and the Search for Normal Sara and the Search for Normal by Wesley King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While my kids were school age I drove the short bus for children with disabilities. Having that background I learned about how these children learn and cope with their disabilities. This book is a great eye opener for anyone trying to understand how these children cope on a daily basis. I would encourage everyone to read to read this and the other book OCDaniel that will help you understand that their really is no real "normal" in our world.

Review: Blowback '63

Blowback '63Blowback '63 by Brian Meehl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What's so Civil about war? In this second installment of the Blowback Trilogy we are blown away to the year 1863 right smack dab in the middle of the Civil War. Arky and his friend Danny are transported back in time when his sister, Iris plays her families antique Cor Anglais from 1720 that seems to bring out her Synesthesia: the blending of the senses that runs in the Jongler family. With the musical instrument she is able to send people back in time but usually not with the person's approval. Loved the mixture of history, friendship, baseball and family.
