"They had forgotten the cold, empty splendor of the Snow Queen's castle like a bad dream. Grandma was sitting in God's clear sunshine and reading aloud from the Bible: 'Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.' ... And they both sat, grown up and yet children - children at heart. And it was summer - the warm, glorious summer."

Review: The Order of the White Boar (From 11 October 2017)

Marchant, Alex. The Order of the White Boar.

Inclined to useless babbling, I shall endeavour to make this review short and to the point: Alex Marchant's The Order of the White Boar is one of the best works of children's historical fiction I have ever read, and my only complaint was that it came to an end - but what delight to see an announcement on the last page that another installment, The King's Man, is forthcoming! Joy and jubilation!

Note: My GoodReads reviews post automatically to my other blog. I wish there were a way to automatically post only children's book reviews here. Alas! I shall have to content myself with copy-and-paste. In the next few days and weeks, I will post previous reviews here, until I am up-to-date and can continue from there with the next children's book I finish. 'Tis time to begin this blog in earnest; I've neglected it far too long. This particular review is rather sparse, but I'm placing it here just to get the ball rolling.
