The Bronze Bow audiobook

Bronze Bow, The

"A dramatic, deeply felt narrative whose characters and message will
long be remembered."Booklist, ALA

After witnessing his father's crucifixion by Roman soldiers, Daniel
bar Jamin is fired by a single passion: to avenge his father's death by driving the
Roman legions from the land of Israel. Consumed by hatred, Daniel leads a dangerous
life living with an outlaw band in the hills outside his village, spying and plotting,
impatiently waiting to take revenge.

In nearby Capernaum, a rabbi is teaching a different lesson. Time and again Daniel is
drawn to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, only to turn away, disappointed and
confused by Jesus's lack of action in opposing the Romans. Headstrong and devoid
of tenderness, Daniel is also heedless of the love and loyalty of those around him,
dragging them down his destructive path toward disaster.

Winner of the 1962 Newbery Medal, The Bronze Bow is the story of a boy's
tormented journey from a blind, confining hatred to his acceptance and understanding
of love.

One day when Billy pickles’ dad leaves home to live in New York, he gives Billy a money box. Billy is not quite sure where to put the money or why his dad left home. Billy then goes to New York to visit his Italian grand mother and his dad. Finally he discovers the amazing secret of his money box at last. You will have to read the book to find out the secret of his money box.
This book was very intriguing and at the beginning of the story I really wanted to know the secret of the money box. When the secret was reviled I was not disappointed. I chose this book because I have previously read other stories by Sally Gardener. I especially like the way she writes about children with special powers, in this case the boy is very lucky with numbers.
I would greatly recommend this book to ages 7-12. This book is aimed at both girls and boys. I enjoyed the story very much and I am sure that you will to. Overall I would rate this book at an amazing 8/10.

Calendar Quest audiobook

Calendar Quest: A 5,000 Year Trek through Western History with Father Time

What do bald men in skirts, ancient geeks, pompous popes, and bickering bishops have
in common? They all took part in shaping the calendar that hangs on your wall. Together with a host of
famous and not-so-famous others, adjusted, fine-tuned, and tinkered around with what would eventually
become the western world's most popular tool for keeping track of time.

When a crotchety, down-on-his-luck old man turns up as a temporary employee in Lindsie's father's bookshop,
she and her friend Evan feel sorry for him. But after they follow him to his makeshift home, Mr. S. Kronos (aka
Father Time) drags them on a wild ride through five thousand years of hilarious history, insisting they meet the
calendar's creators. Lindsie and Evan will never take the calendar for granted again.

Jennifer Johnson Garrity grew up in Portland, Oregon. She has never, to her dismay, traveled through time, but she has been privileged to travel around much of the United States and Europe. Jennifer currently resides in southern Germany. She is also the author of The Bushwacker.

Lloyd James hails from the Midwest. He received a B.A. in theater from a small liberal-arts college in New Mexico. He acts in the theater when his schedule permits and spends much of his free time working in his garden. He lives in Virginia with his wife and son.
