Rose

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.
