January 2023 Book Reports

Somehow I skipped January 2023, so it's coming after February. Oh well.

The Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan - link to my post (borrowed copies; link is just for the first three in the series)

Flying Home and Other Stories by Ralph Ellison - I picked this book up thinking I might be able to substitute a few stories from this book for Invisible Man in our high school literature course. I appreciated the stories, but decided against using them in our course. (library copy)

Family Sabbatical by Carol Ryrie Brink - This is the sequel to Family Grandstand. Susan, George, and Dumpling are off to France where their father is on sabbatical. Adventures abound. I'm not sure we enjoyed this one quite as much as the first one, perhaps because of the absence of a certain enormous black dog, but it was a fun family read-aloud. Be prepared - there's one traumatic loss of a toy and the book reveals there is no Santa Claus (if you're the kind of family that does Santa). (purchased copy)
