I have always been a voracious reader and have read hundreds and hundreds of books but "A Very Small Miracle" is by far one of the very best I have ever picked up. The first time I read this book, I was around 7 years old--I am now 30 and it still ranks on the top of my all-time greats list. Its a heartwarming story of an orphaned boy, an misunderstood old man, and a beloved dog. I have recommended it to almost everyone I know, be they 8,18,or 80 and just about everyone has loved it as much as I do. I'm a teacher so I do most of my "fun" reading during the summer and this is always one of the first books I pick up to re-read because its so touching and life-affirming. Please read this book, I doubt you will be sorry.

This was a pretty good book. If you like mystery/action type books, you should atleast read it. In these times of hardships with terrorism, it makes me think of this book. This book is about a boy and his step father. They go off to scotland because his fathers business there, and he meets some of the locals in the small rainy town hes staying in and then gets mixed up in the mystery. Well, after he gets caught in the crashing waves of the scottish tides, he meets his new best friend in the book. Well, After a couple strange findings and deaths, this seeminly small, quaint, town is actually the new base of a terrorism act. Thas all I'm gonna say for the sake of space, and I know this isn't a good review, but it'll work.
