The\u200b New Foundland \u2063rescued 23 people amid treacherous\u200c storms, becoming a Victorian legend.<\/p>\n<p>The author is an American painter\u200c who has spent his life <a href=\"https:\/\/howgreatthouart.com\/product\/painting-america-hardcover-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painting America<\/a> and teaching 60,000 children art. One of those children was me. Barry Stebbing was the first person to very strongly encourage me to write, which set off the chain of \u2063events resulting in me becoming a professional writer and editor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1fbe93fc928eb6d7ea56f6086872eb9c fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1fbe93fc928eb6d7ea56f6086872eb9c\"><\/div>\n<p>He is a \u200cprofound artist, so this \u2064book also contains skillful artwork and illustrations, something I always treasure in books. So many children\u2019s books have terrible art, which seems yet another unfairness\u2063 to inflict on the young. <\/p>\n<p>I recommend <em>Cedric<\/em> for ages 10 and up, if the 10-year-old is a good reader and \u2064likes \u200canimals. My 8-year-old will certainly try\u200d it, but he\u2019ll need to reread it later\u200c in life. For less practiced readers, I\u2019d say 12 and up. The <a href=\"https:\/\/howgreatthouart.com\/product\/cedric-by-barry-stebbing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">product\u200d page<\/a> \u200bcontains a sample chapter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/howgreatthouart.com\/product\/cedric-by-barry-stebbing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">At only $20<\/a>, this book \u2062is a good\u200c gift for anyone who loves animals, historical novels based on true stories, or both.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The\u2064 Saints of Whistle Grove<\/em> \u2063 (High School-Adult)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you have never \u200dread <a href=\"https:\/\/katieschuermann.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Katie Schuermann<\/a> before,\u2062 now is your time. She\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cph.org\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=katie+schuermann\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American author<\/a> \u200d who can make you want to dance with one page and sob at \u200cthe next. Because of that\u200b power, <em>The Saints of Whistle Grove<\/em>, her just-released novel, is intense. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e1d4166fe757c65119a7b0db8b414256 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e1d4166fe757c65119a7b0db8b414256\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Whistle Grove<\/em> depicts \u200bthe birth and death of a small\u2064 American farming community, through the life of its tiny church. Amplifying the intensity of Schuermann\u2019s ability to paint full scenes with few \u200cwords, this novel interlaces its chapters in time. Each new, relatively short chapter jumps you forward or backward several decades in the\u2062 same place. <\/p>\n<p>As \u2063a busy mother who gets leisure reading\u2063 mostly while brushing my teeth, I found the chapter brevity helpful both \u2063because it fits\u2062 my available time and helps me digest the breath-catching\u200b topics Katie can fit into so few pages. Because the book grasps the biggest beads on time\u2019s string, each chapter thrusts you into a\u200b scene\u200d of young love,\u200b miscarriage, deaths, plagues, immigration, poverty, racial hatred, and religious bigotry. Several times I\u2019ve had to put the book down to prevent bursting into\u200d tears.<\/p>\n<p>Katie \u200dcan also make\u200c you \u200claugh out\u200c loud \u2062and cry\u2064 tears \u2064of\u200d joy. Anyone who \u2064has ever lived in a small town, farm, or intimately in the life of a church or school will, as they say, \u201cfeel seen\u201d by her work. Those who want to live inside quintessentially American\u200c surroundings\u2063 for a \u200cwhile will also enjoy this read.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing in <em>Whistle Grove<\/em> a child couldn\u2019t read, and the language is not rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Engaging Fiction for Serious Readers<\/h2>\n<p>While some books may be too complex \u2063or\u200d heavy for younger readers, <em>The Saints of Whistle Grove<\/em> offers a captivating and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/live-now-robert-f-kennedy-jr-holds-roundtable-on-online-censorship\/\" title=\"LIVE: Robert F.
