Story

The flames danced as the salmon cooked on the beach fire. The sun dropped low in the Western sky over Wickaninnish Island as friends and coworkers sat around the fire enjoying a Westcoast evening in Tofino. It was our staff get-together, and some friends had dropped by who were visiting the area. I was playing my guitar and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere when inspiration hit me like a giant wave. There before me glowed my next creation.

I asked for a camera and was off to get some shots of the sunset. When I stopped to take the pictures, it was fitting for me to be in front of the site where I had first lived in Tofino eighteen years earlier. Many things had changed; the house I had rented was gone, and in its place was a huge mansion. At the end of the beach, unseen in the shadows, was my friend Henry’s home, surrounded by a new destination resort hotel called, The Wickaninnish Inn.

The brilliant colors of the Westcoast twilight made the foreground soft charcoal; the lights of the hotel and residences had not yet come on to betray their presence. Although so many things were different, the sea's beauty and dusk's drama were always the same. I thought of the years of happiness in this island paradise and was delighted to know that once more, I would create a work from the magic of Mother Nature.

Why are these books so hard to find in libraries and bookstores??!
Format: Paperback
Bought nearly the whole book series after reading the reviews. My 8 and 10 year old boys love these books. My 10 year old read the first book on his way to and from soccer practice. He couldn't put it down and kept telling me what he read. My boys have read all the "Magic Treehouse", "I Survived" and some "I Escaped" books, as well as "Big Nate", "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", etc. BUT these battle books are the best. They really teach about the history of the wars which have shaped our modern times. WHY are these books so hard to find in libraries and bookstores... at least in Maryland? Maybe because "Great Battles for Boys" reeks of toxic masculinity? I really wonder. In any case, great books especially if you want your boys to read serious, informative books that are interesting and entertaining.

Great for boys AND MOMS
Format: Paperback
Saw an ad for the series online and wanted to buy just one book to try. Received with 2 day Prime. Book was new. So, not only does this book have an incredible, intriguing story that sucked in my 10 year old who hates reading and struggles to read, it had me at Hello. The beginning of the book is filled with recipes! Was totally not expecting that! So for this Momma, under promise-over deliver was the theme here. Purchasing the rest of the books! Also look online for worksheets that parents have put together to go along with these books. Totally worth it. Happy Reading! AND Cooking!

Great reads for all levels
Format: Paperback
I bought 2 for a 6th grade boy I tutor. He has a beginning interest in history. He's been 'eating' these books up! These are well written, but not complex to turn a young reader off. There are many alternative resources to listed to dive into if a particular person or event sparks interest with the reader. There is appropriate vocabulary with explanations on some- others open a chance for my student & I to have a deeper discussion to clarify meaning & connect information.

Great book for an (almost) 11 year old to learn about WW2
Format: Paperback
My (almost) 11 year old says he enjoyed this book because it gives specific details and has pictures of what was going on making it easy to understand what was happening. The only thing he’d change was that the pictures weren’t in color (lol)!
