Halt's Peril

Flanagan, John
Ranger's Apprentice, book nine. I didn't read book eight yet, so this was a bit of a spoiler. Will and Halt and Horace are chasing after the cult guy that apparently caused all the furor in the previous volume in the series, which I may have mentioned I haven't read yet.

Sounds like a sci-fi TV show! Book three of the Brotherband Chronicles. Hal and the Heron chase the pirate Zavac. Hal, or maybe Stig, may have a romance blossoming in a future book.

The Lost Stories

Several short stories from the Ranger's Apprentice series fill in some background and tie-up some loose ends. Very nice!

Seek

Fleischman, Paul
Rob seeks closure with the father who abandoned him and his mother before he was born. Lots of interesting radio stuff. Mentions HCJB, QSL card, AM DXing, and pirate radio. Rob starts his own pirate station. Written in the form of a radio play would be more accurate. There is a photo on the cover of the author when he was a boy with headphones on, listening to short wave radio.

The Borning Room

Fleischman, Paul
Georgina, an Ohio farm girl in the 1800s, recounts her life as events that took place in the room set aside for birthing and dying. Very good.

Whirligig

Fleischman, Paul
Teen Brent kills a girl while driving drunk, travels to the four corners of the U.S to place whirligigs he constructs in her memory. The Jewish lady in San Diego chapter was my favorite. I always thought they were silly, but now I gotta build me one!
This book has the smallest page numbers I have ever seen!

Words I Had To Look Up:

burin (pg. 4) -- A steel cutting tool with a sharp beveled point, used in engraving or carving stone.

The Complete Walker III

Fletcher, Colin
Yes, it was published in 1984, but it is great stuff. I can't say I read EVERY word THIS time around, but over the years I HAVE read every word.

Words I Had To Look Up:

Soixante-neuf (pb. 443) -- Sixty-nine.

Quote:

I am aware that, for many people, a map holds neither meaning nor mystery. I can only hope, compassionately, that the rest of their existence is not equally poverty-stricken. (pg. 469)

Cloaked

Flinn, Alex

1632

Flint, Eric
A town in West Virginia from the year 2000 in transported back in time to Germany, 1631, during the Thirty Years War. Not a good time to be in Germany, from all accounts. Good story, moves right along, and I'm learning a lot of history. Hope it is accurate!
