<b>About the Book:</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<i>A magical tale of amazing sacrifice...</i>When a violent windstorm strikes an enchanted rain forest many of the woodland creatures of Willaby Creek are stranded, injured, or lost forever to the frenzied force of the tempest. Basil, a black bear full of doubt and fear, becomes the unlikely leader to head the woodland creatures' rescue. He is joined by Daphne, a spunky blue dryad; Oliver, a wise horned owl; Elbert, a noble elk; and a host of other creatures that inhabit the enchanted rain forest.
Dangerous twists and turns in this animal adventure fantasy cause Basil to discover a courage, and a conviction, he never knew he had. The answers to the ancient mysteries in this magical tale emerge in an extraordinary finale under the tall timbers of the hidden hinterland.

go to the beach they did. Lexi couldn’t get enough. He chased birds
and chased birds. He chased birds so much that Ms. Janice nicknamed
him Bird Dog. He was having the time of his life. He had never been
to a place where he could run so fast and far. He galloped like a
stallion with his long mane flying in the wind. Sometimes he would
wade in the ocean to cool off. Then off he would trot to chase more
birds.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Review </span></h2>
</div>
</div>
My favorite part is when Lexi gets an award for agility. I also like the pictures of the real dogs at the end.<br />
My least favorite part when Lexi is lost and when we learn about Taz passing away.<br />
lesson I learned keep your dog on a leash or have him dog whistle trained.<br />
<br />
I love the beach, and would one day like to take my dog Magnus there. I hope he likes it as much as Lexi and the other dogs do.<br />

Description</h1>
Travel two centuries back in time to the final battle of the American Revolution at Yorktown, Virginia. Cousins Patrick and Beth sneak through trenches and race across battlefields to warn General George Washington about a dangerous spy. The spy is stealing his secret plans and giving them to the British. Cannons roar and the ground shakes as the struggle reaches a climax. Washington's ragtag soldiers are up against the most powerful army in the world. Will Patrick and Beth witness the American Revolution come to an end? Or will they be caught in a dangerous trap they can't escape?
<br />
<h1>
My Review:</h1>
This is my first book in this series and I loved it!
<br />
<b>My favorite part</b> is when the boy get's sprayed by the skunk, it really made me laugh. <br />
<b>My least favorite part</b> was when Beth and Patrick find out that they are on the red coats side. <br />
<b>The lesson I learned</b> is that you should always look to God for help.
<br />
<br />
<b>What Mom Says</b><br />
I have been a fan of Adventures in Odyssey for years, I love that this book opens up a discussion about not only history but about God as well. I think this series will be a fun addition to any Christian history program for a fun little historical fiction add on, Or as a jumping point for a year long history theme.<br />

<span style="color: #45818e;">Born and raised in Fairhaven, Massachusetts and attended University of Lowell (now University of Massachusetts, Lowell). It was there that I learned to love jazz. I have been performing jazz and other kinds of music for over 20 years, throughout the New England area. I live in North Reading, Massachusetts with my husband Richard, and my son Charlie. </span><br />

Review:</h1>
<b>Tymbrel's Review:</b>
I loved it, my favorite part was when he finally howled, and how he realized his fear of being made fun of stopped him from howling. I like the lesson he learned about not letting worry of what people might think hold you back.
I hope you write more books like this.<br />
