Ryan's journal of events that are taking place AND THEN you watch a video from Sarah online. This book was so good that soon the 6th grade class next door was wondering what we were up to and wanted in on the action. We ended up reading the first 4 books of the series in the last 4 days of the school year!!!"
"My 9 yr old son and I love these books, we read them together.The Skeleton Creek books keep him interested and he actually wants to read, which we all know what a challenge for a parent that can be."
"The story takes place in Skeleton Creek, Oregon.The main character is Ryan McCray. My favorite part of the story was when Sarah Fincher and Ryan McCray were at the dredge and they think there was a ghost on the dredge."
"The book is full of emotion and question (As it is a mystery/horror book) that pulls in the ready until the very end. It is truly an amazing experience, from the themes regarding teens' relationships with parents, to the secretively of children and their relationships, this book can teach a lot to both young children and adults alike while still bringing them entertainment."
"I read this book, along with the other ones in the series, to my 6th grade students last school year."

Best Horse Care
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Harry de Leyer first saw the horse he would name Snowman on a truck bound for the slaughterhouse. A writer is always on the lookout for a good story, but the first time I saw a striking old photograph, I didn’t realize that I had stumbled across a tale so extraordinary that it had the power to change lives. The first time we spoke, Harry told me a story that gave me butterflies in my stomach and made my palms sweat--that’s how badly I wanted to write about what he’d said to me and share it with the world. That moment, when the pair of them stood under the spotlights of Madison Square Garden and listened to the thunder of the crowd, was simply unforgettable--the kind of triumph that ripples forward through time.

"One feels as if you're right there with Snowman.... as he's found on the butcher's truck, then as a school horse, then sold down the road... and his yearning to be back with the man who was his "master" and the big family."
"If you like true stories this one is for you."
"Along came a man needing a horse He could afford.....spending all his cash on an animal in a truck, whose eyes still showed a spark for life, while the others had already given up."
"A nearly heartbreaking start that turns into a marvelous real world example of a champion arising from the ashes."
"The flying Dutchman was a phrase I remember, but did not associate it with Harry and Snowman. It is one I will long remember the young man from Holland and this eighty dollar horse."
"Harry's wife kept meticulous financial records, cleaned their homes perfectly, took care of the six children, making sure that each was always dressed in clean, ironed clothes, and in her spare time, she and the children went out to the family stable, cleaned stalls, groomed, fed and watered the horses. The close-knit family was always scrapped for cash, but they did everything together and one gets the sense of how loving they were and how harmonious their family life was. What happened to all those adoring children and the sweetest, most devoted wonderful wife?"
"Harry de Leyter was a poor Dutch immigrant farmer and even $80.- was a lot of money when he saved that horse from the slaughterhouse.. Then at one point he realizes that this horse is a born jumper and starts training him and slowly he starts winning championships."

"Still reading it, but so far, it's perfect for a serious planted aquarium enthusiast."
"but otherwise it's a great read and goes into details about almost every aspect about aquatic planted set ups."
"Okay, it's not quite that simple, and aquariums have a lot to do with fish and other aquatic creatures too, but these are not more important than the plants. And I assure you that the more you put Diana Walstad's principles and instructions to work, the more joy you will take in your aquarium."
"Great book for everybody who is in planted tanks."
"Most of the book is scientific data of what goes on in a planted aquarium."
"Some of the factors, such as a relatively narrow external temperature range of 71-85 degrees fahrenheit didn't apply to me (my room temperature range is 64-91) which meant that I couldn't adopt some of the practices, but this is a fascinating, readable book that does a good job explaining the wide range of goings-on in a freshwater aquarium."
"For those of you thinking about starting a planted aquarium, this is a hard read."
