I have always been asked WHAT ARE YOU READING by kids, parents and teachers. I constantly find myself talking to people about books, that is why I have started this blog. It is designed for anyone looking for some excellent books to read. Most of the books are appropriate for kids in grades 6 and up. If you have read any of these books and want to let other's know what you think, please feel free to add your ideas.

Devil's Pass by Sigmund Brouwer
Devil's Pass is another novel from the Seven The Series set that I am currently reading and I have to say so far it is my favourite.
This novel features Jim Webb, he is the troubled 17 year old grandson who left home to escape his step fathers abuse. Even though you can see flashes of anger and rage in him, deep down you know that Jim is a great kid who was raised properly.
Jim's mission was to travel first to Phoenix and then to the Far North to travel the Canol Trail. Jim is full of confidence that he can do whatever is asked of him, but he is very unsure of why his grandfather has him doing this. Jim was close to his grandfather, but he never told him about what was happening at home because he was trying to protect his mother.
Jim meets up with his tour guide George and the two form an instant bond. George reminds Jim very much of his grandfather and he finds himself talking to George about many things which makes him realize how much he misses his grandfather.
Along the Canol Trail Jim faces dangerous wildlife, bullies and such beautiful landscape. Here, as with all the books, Jim learns more about his grandfather and himself.
I have not read any books by Sigmund Brouwer, but I am going to have to find some. I really liked his writing style and how he developed his story.
