 Two Rode Together Starring James Stewart, Richard Widmark, Shirley Jones Laser Disc $24.99 John Ford directs this classic western story of two lawmen who enter a Comanche camp to rescue white captives from past Indian raids. Leaving with only two they return to the U.S. Army fort with tragic consequences. Excellent performances by Stewart, Widmark, Shirley Jones, and a supporting cast of Linda Cristal, Andy Devine, and John McIntire makes this a tale of the old west which will be remembered.  Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself $18.99 This was always one of my favorite books by Judy Blume. I'm sure others would pick Are You There, God, but this is the one I found most relatable and interesting. I was stunned to realize that Sally is only 10 (this must be my third or fourth time reading it and I just now caught it *headdesk*). She has her moments of immaturity, but I went through the book thinking she was at least 13. No matter the age, though, I'm sure plenty of children can relate to her. This is a historical fiction book, but the way it reads, you really couldn't tell. There are references to WWII being over and Hitler, but it's still just another girl living her day-to-day life. The characters are all lovely and Sally talks to them in a very engaging way, letting us know simultaneously about her world and theirs. The one nitpicky comment I have about this book is the excessive use of ellipses. Too many conversations had those triple dot-dot-dots and it did mess with my concentration at times. Rating: 5/5 |
