Woman of the Green Glade by Virginia Soetebier is the story of Ozhaguscodaywayquay, daughter of an Ojibway chief who lived in northern Wisconsin until she married the fur trader John Johnston in 1792. Our older children readers will be interested in looking at Tik Tok of Oz, one of Frank Baum's Oz series, or Rogue Planet, one of the Star War series by Greg Bear. In it, Carly's mentally retarded brother Alex never wins at anything, but when he competes in the Special Olympics, Carly is mad that Alex doesn't try to win, yet she learns that participating is more important. Other new books for children include Angel's Mother's Boyfriend, Spider Starch's Desperate Deal, River, and My Rows and Piles of Coins. Visit the library this week.
Summer is a wonderful time to read a good book.
