This book is written by Michael Cox and is based on the expierence of a Welsh archer during the attacks on France by King Henry of England in the year 1415. It is a historical fiction book which is pretty descriptive, and if you are a horse lover, I would suggest not reading at least the second hal of the book. I thought it was a pretty good book overall, being fast-paced and easy to read. I would recommend it for anyone aged twelve to fifteen. Til the next book!

Brass Dragon Codex
Brass Dragon Codex is written by R.D. Henham, which I think is just a pen name for the real author. It is about a gnome who makes an invention which ends up getting him kicked out of his city. It is a communication device, similar to telegrams. Determined to prove his invention's value he sets up the wire between his home city and Goldmane's dwarf kingdom with the help of a chatty Brass Dragon he meets along the way. When they're finished though, a group of knights and dwarves fight over it. The knights want to use the electricity as a weapon. While the two groups argue over it, a thief steals the invention and makes a quick getaway. Will Hector the gnome's dream of creating a communication device ever be fulfilled? Read the book to find out. There's a lot of details I have left out so reading the book is less boring if you choose to. Til the next book!

Timbit Nation: A Hitchhiker's View of Canada
This is probably one of the best books I've ever read, especially considering a love geography and social studies. The author is John Stackhouse, a reporter for the Globe and Mail. He hitchhikes across Canada across such different terrains as the wild, rocky, shores of northern Quebec, to the rushing Ottawa River, to the rolling prairies,through the awe-inspiring mountains of British Columbia, all the way to the sandy "wet coast" of Vancouver Island. He meets many different, unique people with different views on pretty much everything. He meets men and women with very different jobs from drug dealers, loggers, fishermen, and park rangers to chefs and priests. It is about three hundred pages long, so I would recommend it for very dedicated readers from anywhere from thirteen to fifty in age, give or take a few years.It is a very interesting read that provides a lot of insight into Canadian culture and who we are as a people. I haven't written for a while, because I wanted to finish this book. Hope you enjoyed this review. Goodbye till the next book!
