Kate DiCamillo is a wonderful writer! Her books, especially The Magician’s Elephant, are full of strong, relatable characters, beautiful imagery, and heartfelt emotion.

Things you need to hear over and over again. Got some good checklist and to do list tips. That was the takeaway from this book.

Details how the tiny town (and surrounding towns) of Gander in Newfoundland rallied when American airspace was shut down on September 11th, 2001.  The book explores multiple individual stories, both from the “Newfie” and “Plane People” perspectives.  I loved reading about the camaraderie during this dark time and now want to visit the Province when I get a chance!

A far cry from his dense novels about Hannibal Lecter, though it is not without disturbing and thought provoking content. Caridad Mora was a child soldier in Columbia, but fled to Miami as a young adult. She wants to lead a quiet, normal life, but old connections keep pulling her back into a world of darkness.

A very interesting book. As a tennis fan, it’s great to get the inside story of the match and background info on other aspects of tennis. I like how this book also got into the players lives.
