Baby Grape and Huskey Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It is 1845 as this engaging young adult novel by Thom Rodgers opens with a scene too familiar to both children and adults. Bullying has always been a problem and for young Toby the morning conflict is with an older boy known to terrorize the other kids that work in the area shops. He isn't about to let...

Delta Blues Guitar (Oak Anthology of Blues Guitar) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book contains, in tablature and standard notation, songs by a number of great Delta bluesmen -- Charley Patton, Son House, Robert Johnson, Willie Brown, Skip James and others.

The characters were true, the history is right and the only reason this book won't get made into a movie or mini series would be that it's too real. The vision of how Native Americans co existed and the troubling questions of slavery are secondary to the...
