I truly can’t help it. Honestly, I didn’t try very hard. I completely fell in love with Mark! You don’t need to re-read the synopsis, you didn’t miss anything there. The hero’s name really is Noah. And there isn’t another guy in the picture for Sarah. Unless you count Matty […]
In fifth grade, we were given the choice of several books to read. My friend Paul and I both selected Incident at Hawk’s Hill. Not that I’m competitive or anything like that, but I do recall that each day we would check with each other to find out who was […]

Another bear lumbered through our campsite. The total number we counted that night was in the double digits, though I can’t remember now if it was still in the teens… We had been camping as a family in Sequoia National Park. We had a big van but slept under the […]
