Curlz over at Blossoming Barnyard says about The Adventures of Sally by P.G. Wodehouse: “It was full of humor, very entertaining. I think you should just read it yourself at this point. :P

So what are you waiting for?

P.G. Wodehouse’s books are generally appropriate for all ages at which they can be understood – I have not personally read this one, but it should be fine for 10 years and above on the Aardvark Scale.

I was very excited to see the announcement on Patrick McLean’s webiste about his new writing coach website.

by Anemone April 6, 2012 Aardvark Reviews

Speaker for the Dead, by Orson Scott Card
