![]() ![]() They treat each other with so much respect and acceptance the thought that kids might read this book and learn how to treat their fellow peers makes me so happy. Talking about the characters - I can't get how cute they were!! Especially the friendship between the main character Elizabeth and her new-found friend Freddy warmed my heart, they were just beyond precious. ![]() The characters are smart and don't shy away from showing it (without boasting about it or feeling superior). ![]() The words that were used were appropriate for children, but weren't dumbed down either. However, it didn't take long to convince me that this is a book that can easily be read and enjoyed by all ages! The suspense was there from (literally) page one and lasted till the very end. ![]() ' Winterhouse' is classified as a Childrens/Middle Grade book - a genre I don't read very often, because I fear that the writing or the individual plot points will be too childish for my liking. It was definitely the perfect book to read during this cold wintertime! And the best thing was (of course), that the story (despite my reading slump) was able to hold my attention and make me feel all cozy. The entire layout of this book definitely deserves its own honourable mention - it fits the story so well and makes it even more heartwarming. However, I just couldn't say 'no' to this adorable cover! The fact that there a beautiful illustrations throughout made it even better. I'm currently in a reading slump and not a single book is looking appealing to me right now. ![]()

I started writing online as a teenager (under the penname star123), and developed my style with the aid of a cohort of brilliant readers who provided a lot of helpful and encouraging feedback (and were not adverse to using caps lock if necessary!). This remains my favorite form of entertainment, along with reading too late into the night, having my heart broken on a regular basis by my football team, and pestering my long-suffering friends into watching the numerous TV shows I’m addicted to. I was born in a small town in rural Australia and so learnt early the value of making my own entertainment – in my case, writing stories. I hail from a family of voracious readers and talkers who all relish in a good story and a well-crafted squabble. ![]() ![]() The UDC’s reasons for the monument are instructive. The monument was given to the Federal Government by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), which raised the funds to erect it. Thus it claims that Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland were part of the Confederacy. In its design it also tells wrong history, boasting fourteen shields with the coat of arms of fourteen states. It was also intended as a symbol of white nationalism, portrayed in opposition to the multiracial democracy of Reconstruction, and a celebration of the re-establishment of white supremacy in the former slave states by former Confederate soldiers. The speeches at its ground-breaking and dedication defended and held up as glorious the Confederacy and the ideas behind it and stated that the monument was to these ideals as well as the dead. The monument was intended to legitimize secession and the principles of the Confederacy and glorify the Confederacy. ![]() There are several reasons as to why this monument, a product of the Nadir in American race relations, should not be honored, and we list and explain them in this letter.
