So I am sitting in sunny AZ right now. It was about 86 and sunny all day. Good thing we flew in last night because at home they had to shut down the airport because they got way more than the predicted amount of snow. Makes me glad to be in the sun and not have to shovel.
The second book I read on the plane yesterday was Leepike Ridge by Wilson. I was ready for another book about a single parent trying to raise their child right. What I got was Indiana Jones meets an 11 year old boy. The book did start off slow, but in chapter 2 (I think) Tom set off on an angry float down the river and fell asleep. He got sucked under the mountain and found a man who had been there three years. Some treasure hunters are really the only ones who want to help look for the boy (or at least say they are looking for him). Turns out that Tom had his father's determination. I can say that this book really did delight me at at every turn, and there sure were a lot of them. The 224 pages seemed to fly as fast as the US Airways plane I was on. While it seems that more boys than girls would appreciate this book it seems to be for anyone with an adventurous spirit.
