Special thanks to New Leaf Publishing for providing a review copy of this book. Munchkin loves science. Her favorite subjects are biology and geology as they are the basis for her paleontology studies. She was rather excited when The Mineral Book (affiliate link) arrived in the mail.

It was a fun play on the traditional Robin Hood. This tale is set during the same time period, and Robin Hood is even mentioned in the book. Young “Lady” Merry finds herself in the unfortunate position of needing to care for a group of children and young adults when they flee for their lives after the murder of her father and their parents. Over time, they do just what…
Special thanks to Family Christian for providing a review copy of this book. It’s hard to believe that we’re in Munchkin’s senior year of high school. Where did the time go? Senior year has been filled with a rollercoaster of emotions as she prepares for her future. So much to do. So many plans and decisions to make.

What goals to I want to achieve? What does…
