Lostman's River

Summary: A great children's book
Review: I once met Cynthia in Buffalo, New York, when I was 9. After seeing her talk about her books, The topics she talked about were intresting. Then, my mom got me a book from her called "Lostman's River."This is a very good book if your intrested in wildlife or you just liked Weasel, which I liked too. It's hard for me to explain this book, because I haven't read it in 5 years, but it's on my bookshelf. Hope you like it!

Summary: Lostman's River
Review: This is an excellent book. Lostman's River will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end of the story. Why are Tyler, Carrie, Mama and Papa in Florida? Why did they leave New York in the first place? These are all questions that will be answered when you read the story. The MacCauley's or shall I say the McLeod's haven't had any visitors in many years. Why are they all of a sudden recieving so many visitors now? All of these questions and many many more that will spur in your mind will be answered i f you decide to read this book. Cynthia DeFelice is an excellent writer who knows how to bring imagery and emotions to life. She has written many novels and most of them have won awards. Weasel is another wonderful book byu Cynthia DeFelice.

Summary: great book
Review: This is the second book Ive read by DeFelice,and although I liked Weasel, This book was even better. Tyler and his family live on this river in Fla. Tyler likes the simplicties this life has brought. One day a stranger arrives and basicly tricks Tyler and his family to expose a exotic bird rookery. The stranger ended up being a poacher. Others arrive while Tyler and the stranger are at the rookery, and a deadly confrontation takes place. Tyler then has to get out alive and must decide how to deal with the events that have taken place. There are no simple answers to these questions, and the book does not have a happy ending, but a realistic one. Great story for young and old alike!!
