@Sarah-h Lamplighter Publishing carries the “real” version of The Hidden Hand. They compiled both books into one (and kept it unabridged). Well worth the money and time!

@Sarah-h – No, book 5 is not the end one. Book 6 is. But I have read 1-4 miss 5 and then 6, so I know how it ends. I haven’t read The Young Underground so it wasn’t too sad. 🙂
And yes, Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is a great book for boys and girls.

@Sarah-h – Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is about Nathaniel Bowditch’s (a real person) journey from his modest beginnings, to his first sea voyage, to his rigorous self-education, to the triumphs of his fine-tuned mastery of navigation and eventual publication of his famous work, The American Practical Navigator (also known as the “Sailor’s Bible”).…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy – Yes lunch. (Which I have had now. It is actually 12:54pm) And if it was 8pm over here I’d be heading to bed. Which sounds nice cause I had a late night (got to bed at 1am) cause my sister had her engagement party. But no, I still have the whole afternoon ahead of me.
@daeus – You’ll probably find that you skim read it cause you…[Read more]

@belegteleri Yes! The Viking Quest series was good. I wish there were more books about vikings!

@sarah-h Twice Freed is one of my absolute favorites! Just about anything by Patricia St. John is amazing, though. Yes, Douglas Bond wrote the Crown and Covenant…[Read more]

You were right @writefury. It is the fear of long words. (Thank you Google. 🙂 ) I like your idea too @deaus

Yes! Yes! Yes! Normally I hate maths (I have a soon to be brother-in-law who can’t understand how I can dislike it) but Nat makes me wish that I had a better brain and I sometimes feel like learning Latin and Greek too. 🙂

I have no idea what they do as I’m Australian not New Zealand. I found it in a book and loved it ever since. 😛

It’s a great book. It is written so well that it is interesting and yet it still has a great lot of history in it.

By the way, this is the name of a hill in New Zealand. Have fun trying to say it –
taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu 😀 And for another interesting name, a town in France has the shortest name – Y. 😛

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia – what a word! What does it mean? 🙂

Yay!!!. I read it to my eldest sister and had to stop so many times cause I was laughing too hard. (And there was the occasional teary scene) 😛

Ah ha! Yep, that’s what I didn’t do. 🙂 Thanks!

Thanks for your help! Numbers 1 and 3 are my favorites. It’s so hard to pick! 🙂

I like number three. And “yay” you remembered the E. 😀
