There are five books that take place on the Island of Mistmantle and it's characters are all squirrels, hedgehogs, otters, and moles. Very action-packed and a clear good vs. evil message. There is murder and culling of baby animals and talk of evil so it's definitely something you have to use your intuition with but my boys and I highly recommend them!

I even had it on my bookshelf (-: (having read many of her other books and loved them I must have "picked it up" one day). And yes, the chapter on the Blood of Christ was very inspiring, perfect reading for Lent.<br />I love your hat. We have volunteers who make them to give out to the newborns at our hospital and the parents absolutely love them. And I would definitely have bid on such a basket back in the day when I was having babies---or in the days to come if I should be so blessed as to have grandchildren.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-27292433743807977342014-04-03T09:42:34.618-04:002014-04-03T09:42:34.618-04:00Anima Christi is my Number One favorite prayer of ...Anima Christi is my Number One favorite prayer of all-time.

I've introduced my husband to it and I plan to read it with any of our future children - even if they are boys!<br /><br />Your hat looks quite darling. How is bamboo yarn? I've heard a lot of people talking about it and while I do not know how to knit very well, I would love to crochet with some! Where do you buy yours?<br /><br />Don't worry about your basket. If I were there, I would put a bid on it! I think that it is a wonderful idea! <br /><br />Love your posts, Mary!

Then, she wrote into a newspaper when the most recent movie came out and scored us free tickets to it (I think I was in high school).
