S.D. Smith and J.C. Smith have just released book two in the Jack Zulu teen fantasy series, Jack Zulu and the Girl with Golden Wings. This is a great summer read set in the 1980s, filled with fun throwback references that 80s baby parents will love.
My (Ambre) in-laws recently took a trip to Arkansas because I had my mother-in-law read The Shiloh Legacy series by the Thoenes and she got the bug to see the area. I received loads of fun architecture pictures along their way. 🙂
This house is a Frank Lloyd Wright (I LOVE his work!) and was moved to its current location in 2014.
Hearing about houses being relocated immediately made me think of Moving the Millers’ Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story by Dave Eggers and Julia Sarda. This is a delightful and humorous tale of a family home in Idaho during the mining boom and crash. This is a fun for all ages read aloud.
