About this deal
This book was really good!!!! For me, it was a real departure from the two KH books I’ve already read (The Nightingale and The Great Alone) and I’m sure that’s because it’s one of her older books. Still, it had some hallmarks of these; sisters, scenic location, THE FEELS.

This truly unique book contains prompts for all kinds of creative activity based around the natural world around us, from drawing to writing to mixed-media collage. Interesting plot. I struggled with the quality of the writing, the easy/awkward introduction of a romantic subplot, and the oversimplification of "small town life". Just to start, in this book "small town life" = the REPEATED mention of who was homecoming queen 20 years ago by almost EVERY adult character in the novel, loads of uninformed gossip, the collective "best friendness" of the entire police department, etc., etc., & ...etc. Knygą pasiėmiau iš bibliotekos nieko negalvodamas, pirmą pasitaikiusią po ranka. Neskaičiau ir aprašymo. Tai pirmoji mano pažintis su autore ir nė kiek nenusivyliau. Buvo sunku padėti į šoną, nes nepaisant ilgų skyrių, knyga skaitėsi labai lengvai ir greitai. Labiausiai dominantis aspektas buvo mergytė. Taip norėjosi sužinoti kas ji ir iš kur. I also struggled with the idea that the main "voice" of the book was trying to prove herself as a leader in her field, but she missed OBVIOUS psychological issues with her sister, "boy friend", co-worker, best friend, etc.

As a parent who tries to achieve as much nature time as possible in hopes of raising a productive and healthy child -- I couldn't have asked for a more FUN and ENCHANTING book. I loved the main character Julia. She is the kind of soul that carries the world on her shoulders. Sensitive, kind yet a bit timid and an introvert. Where as her sister, the supporting character is extremely beautiful and she knows it. A little self centered and man crazy, yet loves her little town where she grew up in and feels a strong bond to her community. The Nightingale is currently in production at Tri Star, with Dakota and Elle Fanning set to star. Tri Star has also optioned The Great Alone and it is in development.

From the New York Times number one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone, Kristin Hannah, comes Wild, a remarkable story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope and the promise of new beginnings.This is a unique book aimed at children ages 7-9 years old -- the idea is for the child to take it outdoors and color in the book as they follow along with a variety of prompts. I strongly recommend this to ALL parents. While I'm fortunate to have a child who loves nature as much as I do, I think this book could get even the couch potatoes outside and having fun.

Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments The inspiration and ideas for their books came from sharing combined adventures with their own families and a mutual belief in the importance of giving children and young people the freedom to enjoy outdoor adventures. Ellie, who is chief of police, needs help and she knows just who to call on. Her sister Julia. Julia is a psychiatrist battling her own demons after her life imploded, when a patient of hers killed others before taking her own life. Julia feels immense guilt exacerbated by the publicity these events have received. After retreating to her home town the last thing she needs is more publicity, but she cannot ignore Ellie’s plea for help. The child has obviously been the victim of severe abuse. Julia agrees to start working with the girl, naming her Alice. But can she help or will she end up doing more harm? And why have no parents stepped forward to claim the child? In a small town in the Pacific Northwest, on the outskirts of the vast Olympic National Forest, a strange girl shows up one day. She is mute and savage, climbs trees with speed and wild dexterity, and her companion is a wolf. Head of police Ellie has her work cut out for her, along with the town Doctor, Max. Ellie calls in her sister Julia to help. She’s a revered child psychologist who has just suffered a serious blow to her reputation. What better time to leave California?
