The White Stag by Kate Seedy

What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire

Typical of author Gregory Maguire (Seven Spinning Spiders, Leaping Beauty), he takes a fairy tale and runs with it! This latest novel is all about the tooth fairy civilization, and its discovery by a lonely child, Gage. The book is about how a now grown-up Gage is retelling his experience to 3 young cousins during a dark and stormy night (perfect mood-setting). If you like Maguire's combination of quirky yet eloquently descriptive writing, this novel is perfect for you, boy or girl, at any age! RATING: ****and a half (sometimes, it's just TOO silly!) LLL

"Montreal" by Stillman D. Rogers

This book tells you all about Montreal's cool facts, famous landmarks, and stuff like that. Well, Montreal is on an island shaped like a boomerang, and has Ste Helene and Notre Dame close by. Some famous landmarks are the Notre Dame Basilica, Mont-Royal, Jardin Botanique, and the Olympic Park. There were many different types of people, but the first people were French. In 1996, the city's population was 1,016, 376. The economy feeds on Banking, financing, insurance companies, stock markets and manufacturing. There are also many ski resorts open year round. The landscape is gorgeous, from the flowers, to the streams, to the carefully architected cities. The most interesting thing I learned was that Notre Dame was actually created by the dirt and rocks that were dug out of the subway in Montreal, and were dumped in the river. I think that any age from kids to adults would want to learn a little bit about Montreal. RATING: **** *kool~kiddo*
