A Port rait of Nathan

"A Good Book"

Worst Review

X _ _ _ _ 1/ 5 Stars

This book is about a lam e kid, Nathan, who thinks he sm art , but he is not . Af ter a bor ing f irst chapter, the book goes bad fast . Will Hobbs should t ry to do som ething he is good at . Sheesh!

X X X X X 5/ 5 stars

First of f , t his review will be som ewhat b iased as Mr. Hobbs was a teacher of m ine three years in a row. I f t he love of reading is a f ire, Mr Hobbs is the spark. He kindled the desire to read in count less chi ldren dur ing his years as a teacher, part ly because he knew us so well, and that is what m akes him such a terr i f ic author in his current work- he knows what will get kids to read and keep them reading. My children both read his books, and I read m ost everything that they read, just to stay in touch with what they are doing. I actually en joy reading Mr. Hobbs' books as m uch as they do, the characters are real, the exper iences are f resh, and the stor ies are enough to m ake m e dream of m y own youth. I recent ly m oved to the Seat t le area, and have explored the area in which Ghost Canoe is set . Mr. Hobbs has done a m arvelous job of captur ing the m ood and m ystery of this beaut iful corner of our world. His port rayl of the Macaw t r ibe is t rue to li f e (as i t was) and helps shed som e light on the recent events in their t r ibe. That alone m akes this book a great read for just about any preteen.
