Thunder Rose


Title:  Thunder Rose

Author: Jerdine Nolen

Illustrator: Kadir Nelson


Summary: 

Rose unique from birth, accomplishes some amazing things during her life.  She is great with making things out of metal, calming a charging herd of cattle, and many more amazing things.

Rating:

This is a cute fiction book.  It is short enough to keep the students interested, but no to long for the tall tales to get drawn out.  There is enough action for the boys and enough inspiration from Rose for the girls.  It is just a cute but odd little book.
