Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

A Secret Keeps
A young boy is off on a trip to his grandparent's farm. Before leaving home, he learned that grandpa has a secret waiting for him. Once they arrive, he tries to figure out what the secret is, and where it might be hiding. No one helps him, and he has to explore the house, garden, field, henhouse, pasture, and barn before he discovers the secret. No spoilers here, you have to read it to learn what the secret is. Written by Marsha Wilson Chall, and illustrated by Heather M. Solomon, this is a warm story of farm life that young children will enjoy.
