The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt by William Nothdurft with Josh Smith - link to my post. (purchased used copy)
Exodus from the Long Sun by Gene Wolf - This is the final book in the Book of the Long Sun series. It is at once a conclusion, one that leaves some questions unanswered, and a beginning for the Short Sun series. (library copy)
Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood by Oliver Sacks - link to my post. (purchased used copy)
The Rescuers: a fantasy by Margery Sharp - I read this aloud to the children. I can't remember where I saw it recommended. It's really kind of an odd story. The children adored it, but I was a bit disappointed at the ending in that Miss Bianca did not overcome her fears enough to choose a relationship with a mouse over her relationship with the Boy.

The Silver Branch by Rosemary Sutcliff - This is the second book of the Roman Britain trilogy, sequel to The Eagle of the Ninth, though it follows more the story of Roman Britain itself rather than people from the first to the second book. Set late in Roman Britain, as the power of the Roman legions is failing there and elsewhere, it dramatically tells events of the rise of Emperor Carausius, his death, and the aftermath. I think First Son will enjoy it if he chooses it from his options for British History supplemental reading. It's one of the suggestions on the Level 5 Mater Amabilis™ plans. (library copy)
On the Incarnation by St. Athanasius - link to my post. (purchased copy)
