The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star by Jenny L. Cote 511 pages

I read the book The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star by Jenny L. Cote.  I finished this book in March 2011.  This book is about Max, Liz, Kate, Al, Nigel, and Gillmon and their journeys for the Lord.


I liked this book because it takes some of the minor prophets and puts them into story.  It makes them much more interesting and gets you thinking more about them.  It amazing to see how hundreds of years before Jesus was born there were prophecies about him that were true. The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star goes through the 400 years before Jesus's birth and child hood.  


I really this book.  I would definitely recommend this book to others.  

Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse 227 pg.

I read the book Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse.  I finished this book on June 5, 2011.  This book is about a girl named Billie Jo and her troubles in life.

What I liked about this book is that it's all poetry.  It gives the story a beat and it makes you slow down and think about the story.  When she is playing piano, the word seem to flow on the page and when the author wants something to stand out she puts it on it's own stanza.  I think that it is a really cool way to write especially when all the different poems together make a story.

I liked the book Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse.  Its sad in some parts but its a really good book.  I would recommend this  book to others.
