What Are You Reading?

Hi everyone. I hope you have had a lovely holiday so far, and that you had a very Merry Christmas.

Here is my first posting for the holidays, with a recommended read for the week. I know a lot of you have discovered Des Hunt this year, if not, take the time to either read some of his work, or get someone to read it to you.

I have also added a new gadget on our blog, namely an endangered species of the day(which can be viewed at the bottom of the page). This year we have talked a lot about nature and our impact on it. Remember the fantastic ideas and thinking which came out of 'The Giving Tree' philosophy thinking community discussions.

Perhaps you could also consider using the blog as an online book club. A chance to discuss ideas about books, any questions you may have about the specific book on the blog or about the author.

If you have any books you would like to recommend please write a comment about it, with a brief outline. I am looking forward to reading your comments.

Happy reading everyone

Frog Whistle Mine by Des Hunt

The story is set in Charleston‚ a gold−mining ghost town 30km south of Westport, in the South Island of New Zealand.

The main character of the story is Tony (a 12 year old boy). Tony lives and travels with his mother, they have tended not to live in one place for very long.

While in Charleston, Tony comes across some very unusual places and people. The mystery of this place slowly reveals its self, and leads to some very surprising events.

This is definitely an adventure story, and you will find it hard to put this book down.
