AND EVENTS FROM YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD " 'The Orchard: A Memoir' by Adele Robertson. It was published by the author's daughter after she found her manuscript. It was during the 1920s and the mother was trying try-ing to run an orchard during the Great Depression. It was about how she kind survived the Depression and kept it going go-ing by herself. She says she's going to gets some advice about running a farm ... and then it just ends. It was really good; the purity, intent and description of what she went through." I Danielle Kennington " 'Worlds in Collision' by Immanuel Velikovsky. It's the best book I've ever read. I've got three copies of it and I've given them all away as gifts. It's very old. It's about a theory that's since been proven as fact that the world literally liter-ally got turned upside down during the Egyptian dynasty. He was a contemporary of Einstein, a Jewish doctor in the Soviet Union and he goes to Germany. He's passionate about studying the Egyptian dynasty. He makes this discovery discov-ery and nobody believes him. He wrote a companion book with evidences."

It's about her in the Rwandan genocide. She was trapped in a bathroom. She wrote a very good story about it. She was honored as one of four people during the Freedom Free-dom Festival. I did get to see her in the parade. That was sure neat. I just liked her courageous strength to live through that and to forgive. It was very inspiring." I Heather Schauers "I'm reading three different books at the same time. I'm re-reading 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' by Harper Lee. It is the library's book for the upcoming upcom-ing Big Read. It's one of my favorites. I saw the movie when it first came out. I wish it had been assigned reading at my school. It's about this little girl and seeing things through her eyes ... It's a deep-thinking book and allows you to put yourself in the child's place. I'll be participating in this year's Big Read like I did last year. I'm taking time off work." I Jolene Tate 0 r r id 1 S, read recently? Why did " 'The Wednesday Wars' by Gary D. Schmidt. It's about a young boy growing up and learning to do what's right. All the boys attend a Catholic school and he's Protestant. The teacher makes him stay after class and read Shakespeare. It's a really good book. I highly suggest it." I Amber Burton "I just finished 'The Chronicles Chron-icles of Narnia' series by C.S. Lewis. I don't know which one was my favorite. I really liked 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.' It's number five in the series of seven. I just liked how it paralleled every day life and also religion."
