Twins, Susan & Christine Pratt, spend their Christmas vacation with their grandparents in Vermont. They soon learn that someone is embezzling money from the local children's hospital. The twins become sleuths, investigating the hospital matter & end up trading identities again. This is another exciting adventure for younger kids, starring the unforgetable twins, Susan & Christine Pratt. Every child should be encouraged to read these books that expand the imagination & are delightful to read as well.

If you are looking for a children's book about the Revolutionary War or Vermont history, you have come to the right place. The book is about the little-know but important Battle of Hubbardton, in Hubbardton, Vermont. It is the story of Josiah, a Vermont farm boy, who discovers a wounded German drummer boy his own age. The book is a fast-read with a lot of action, but also shows various facets of war. This book would be good for grades 4-8, depending on the child's reading level, and would be a great book for a teacher doing a unit on the Revolutionary War.

A "Must Have" for 19th century Vermont Art appreciation.

I read this a long time ago as a high-school student and liked it very much. I look forward to reading it again soon.

...the more food stains on the outside of the book, the more times you can be sure it has been used. I have a collection of over 600 cookbooks, all of which I use on a regular basis, but the Country InnKeepers' Cookbook is far and away the most ingredient-spattered book on my shelves. I highly recommend Fudge Meltaways, the Shrimp and Crabmeat Cassrole, Sherried Chicken Breasts, the Tomato Soup, Maple Syrup Sundae Sauce...oh, just buy the book and try them all!

If you could have one (and only one) trail guide for Vermont, I would suggest this one. While there are plenty of references and resources out there for Long Trail hikers, it can sometimes be a bit harder to find (or hear about) mountains and trails that are off the LT. Because this book's focus is on those non-Long Trail hikes and rambles, it fills in the blanks that are left wide open in nearly every other VT hiking guide I've found (be it $35 book, $6 map, or freebie bulletin in a visitor center somewhere). The maps are detailed and easy to follow and the writing is superb.

Deane C. Davis was my step grandfather. I spent many summers on his Morgan Horse ranch in Montpelier Vermont during my youth. What was most special about our relationship was the fact that I always felt like I was his closest and best friend. He treated me with unconditional love and respect. What is fascinating is that if you speak to anyone who knew him, they felt the same way. He and I spent many hours riding his Morgans in the hills and back roads surrounding his property. It was during those intimate rides that I was able to ask him anything that was on my mind. We discussed the past, family situations, politics etc. He once told me that he always felt like a senior in highschool, because the world was always filled with excitement and adventure. Nancy Graff does an excellent portrayal of my step grandfather. I know she spent hundreds of hours interviewing him before he died in December of 1990. And I know she like so many others had the same love and respect as I did.

This is an excellent book on decoys. Bought after visiting that region

The Jacobs boys on the front cover with Artie featured inside too! Lots of other familiar faces inside of people I have grown up, went to school and worked with. Vermont Northeast Kingdom readers will recognize many of the people in the photos. A great book to read and enjoy. It's a keeper and Vermonter dot com heartily approved!

I found this excellent biography about Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science faith, to be well-written & insightful. The historical background gives the reader glimpses into the life of a family in the early 1800's in New England, while the charming illustrations enhance the feel of a bygone era. Mary Baker Eddy's spiritual journey is documented meticulously without the slightest element of proselytizing by the author. This book is suitable for not only teenagers, but anyone from any faith background who is curious about the beliefs of Christian Scientists - an outstanding introduction.
