The Window In The Wall  is a biblical fiction story, for children and young adult.  Talia is a young girl living inside the Walls of Jerico, a young girl who deals with a lot of the problems young girls deal with nowadays like boys who tease her, but she is also a young girl whose Aunt meets strange men with life changing news, news that may mean life or death?

This is a wonderfully done story, that I think young girls who like Historical fiction would enjoy.  Five Stars for a wonderful book!!!

Book Review: The Sandra Bullock Files: From Speed To Gravity

The Sandra Bullock Files
From Speed to Gravity
Copyright 2014 Brian Rowe

Being a Sandra Bullock Fan, I was happy to be approved to get this book from the publisher for an honest review.  The book is not at all an autobiography, but more of a collection of films and projects she has done from about 1994 to current day.  I loved reading about her work history, but I would have loved to seen a little more in this book too.

I give this book four out of five stars though, because in some ways I did find the facts got a little dry, but all and all a good book, especially for those die hard Sandra Bullock Fans...
