On their first meeting, she tells him the sad story of her fiancé who was killed in the war, whose riding crop she still carries. When Henry returns from leave, his roommate Rinaldi introduces him to two English nurses, Catherine Barkley and Helen Ferguson, and although Rinaldi had been interested in Catherine, the immediate chemistry between her and Henry is obvious.

These stanzas give new meaning to the phrase, A picture's worth a thousand words-or, in the case of "Easter Wings," 96 (yes, we counted).

Then Mom and Dad announce that they’re going to have another baby, and Aidan wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning–from choosing the perfect name to creating a beautiful room to picking out the cutest onesie.

Themes: being a big brother, lgbtqia+, transgender, trans boy, family, intersectionality, transitioning, #ownvoices, pride, genders, identity When the main character converted to Christianity, it was done in a believable way and didn’t feel like the author was trying to convince the audience to convert. It felt like it was upheld in a matter of factly way, presenting it as the reality of these men in a much more grounded nature than what I’ve seen in recent depictions of the culture. The Viking aspect of the book didn’t feel overly fetishized like it has felt in recent shows, video games, etc. If there was a moment that felt like unsavory representation, it was because of an unlikable character and not the religion/culture. It felt like everything was given a fair representation. The book portrays a variety of different religions and cultures, and at no point did it feel like it was saying one was lesser than the others. Some things that I want to talk about, mixed in with minor spoilers for those who care: I really enjoyed it, and I would really recommend it to anyone who is interested in reading it. I was in the mood for a book about Vikings, and I picked it up not really expecting much else. This book was an unexpected delight to read.

It’s funny…one of the best parts of motherhood, for me, has been getting to share my most beloved literary friends with my children. I haven’t read it yet, myself, because my wretched daughters snatched it out of the jiffy-mailer the moment it arrived, and there are so very many of them, these daughters of mine, that the Penderwick girls may well be off to college before I get my hands on this third installment of their adventures. In case you hadn’t heard: The Penderwicks at Point Mouette is out. It seems I did not gloat loudly enough on that happy day last week when we received a copy of the new Penderwicks book, because when I shared a link to a radio interview with Jeanne Birdsall on Facebook today, there was a flurry of “I didn’t know!” replies.
