  2. Lol should have pointed out the guest blogger (oldest d) is only 8!

    I don't think she would have loved the book if it hadn't turned out alright in the end :0)

  3. I haven't read this book, Kate, but I'm glad it had a happy ending. Never, ever read Marley and Me.

  4. Well, I think a career in editing or reviewing awaits. She should be proud of that writing.

    Kate- I just don't like stories (or films) where bad things happen to animals.

  5. Oh, Kate, this was wonderful! We used to have a Collie and we loved him so much. The person we bought him from had a large collection of books, both fiction and nonfiction, about Collies, and this was one of them. I think I read it when I was about your age. There is also a great movie which is available from Netflix. I saw it when I was a girl and loved it. You wrote a great review, and I liked the inclusion of the cover and the actual words. Thank you!

  6. Bravissima, dear guest blogger,
    I love your book review and the book you read!

    When I was a little girl I was allowed to watch an old series about Lassie on TV. I am sure your mom knows it too!

    Cheers,
    Merisi

  7. Lassie Come Home is a great story. I also noticed that you like John Buchan. I thought Sick Heart River was an incredible book, extremely moving. I am a great fan of Buchan's. I live in Virginia. The first book I read was 39 Steps, and I thought that aside from the suspense, he is a beautiful writer, very poetic. I also loved Witchwood. It must be interesting to live in Alasaka--stay warm!

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
