One of the most beloved of all children's book writers tells the story of a seemingly worn-out mare, owned by Molly's family, who is carrying a secret: a baby mule! Young Molly thinks the new creature is the most beautiful thing she's ever seen. She calls him Brown Sunshine of Sawdust Valley and as the years go by, Molly discovers that, just like his mother, her mule is full of wonderful surprises.

So, I found this book at the library recently and HAD to check it out because this short series of horse books was, like, my FAVORITE set of books in elementary. I remember buying the novelization of the Spirit movie before came out and then discovering these other books and being completely overjoyed. Basically, the books work similarly to the movie - the horses are sentient in the same way as humans, but don't talk and generally act like horses do in real life, just anthropomorphized. As a kid, I LOVED this. I thought this made the books super realistic and that I was learning all sorts of stuff about wild horses and herd dynamics etc. Haha. While that's not true at all, the rest of the story stood up pretty well. Not a whole lot happens, plot-wise, but if you like horses, you can't really go wrong with this book. It's pretty much about a pampered riding horse accidentally getting caught up in the Alamo kerfluffle and then running away, learning to be wild, and joining a herd of wild horses. It's pretty straightforward - a great nostalgic read.

Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis has a way with horses. She can gentle the wildest mare, but other parts of her life don't always come as easily. Along with her dad and sister, Lizzy, Winnie is learning how to live without her mom, who was also a natural horse gentler. As Winnie teaches her horses about unconditional love and blind trust, God shows Winnie that he can be trusted too. Readers will be hooked on the series' vivid characters, whose quirky personalities fill Winnie's life with friendship and adventure. In #1 Wild Thing,  Winnie's fearful heart finally begins to trust God again as she tries to gentle the horse of her dreams, Wild Thing.

I think Mandy is really worried about Sasha the dog who risked her life to save another dog but got seriously hurt when Sasha did that and now Sasha is in the pet hospital and is on the verge of dying I think Mandy doesn't want that to happen because Danny Sasha's owner and his friends will be crushed if that happens. Danny, Mandy, and James are trying to track down Rupert's owner Rupert is the other dog Because Rupert's owner is hiding now I think this makes Mandy more determined to find him. Rupert's owner because he left Rupert to starve in his empty apartment. When the found they owner they gave him a summon to come to court and Sasha got better This makes me think Mandy will be really happy.

I had a few of these books when I was a little kid, but despite their nostalgic value, I can't honestly say that they were any good. In fact I'm surprised I can still read at all after reading these. This book and the others in the series are filled with nothing but choppy sentences, perpetually annoying and boring characters, extremely limited vocabulary for the target age and illustrations take up most of the pages so it's a good thing they're so cheap at thrift stores because they aren't worth the cover price.

Twelve-year-old Dani is running away from home, or what’s left of home anyway. Her older brother, who had muscular dystrophy, died a few months ago. Then her father left and her parents got divorced. Now home is just Dani and her sad, silent mother, and Dani’s got to get away. She plans to do something amazing, and go where her parents will never find her: she’s going to hike the whole Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. The trail is a legend in her family, the place where her parents met, fell in love, and got married 14 years before. Unfortunately for her master plan, her mother doesn’t have much trouble figuring out where Dani’s gone. Now it’s the two of them, hiking for as long as Dani can manage to persuade her mother to keep going. But Dani’s got an even longer emotional journey to make—and it’s one she and her mom need to make together.From the Hardcover edition.

lumet's an interesting guy to think about if one decides to make a film -- the guy's made some of the best films of our time. but for me, lumet provides a cautionary tale of what not to become. 12 Angry MenDog Day AfternoonNetworkThe VerdictSerpicoBefore the Devil Knows You're Deadall good. and Network is great. and he's made about fifty bad movies including A Stranger Among Us, Guilty as Sin, the remake of Gloria, etc...lumet's obviously an intelligent guy with good taste (cites Carl Dreyer as his favorite director - nice) -- and he's an auteur: a thematic quality runs through his best work and he clearly chooses his material by a certain standard. but lumet is at the mercy of two things: (1) the time in which he lives and (2) his cinematographer. (it's also worth noting that he comes from television which is about as visually distinctive as high school yearbook photography) check it out:(1) why are his 70s movies better? why do his 90s movies suck? well, he was a younger man in the 70s than in the 90s and had more fire in his belly. of course. but he was also making films in american cinema's 2nd golden age - the spirit of the time dominated his films: gritty, tough films both thematically and visually; intense character studies about flawed people; obsessive and paranoid films as a response to nixon/watergate/vietnam.(2) lumet's great w/actors. for sure. his pacing is great, he knows how to construct a scene... but visually, is there a 'lumet style'? well - in making movies he states, for example, that the color blue never once appears in The Verdict (paul newman's eyes!) as he wanted the film to have an autumnal feel. ok. that's kinda cool. but, ultimately, is there anything visual to distinguish a sidney lumet film? naw, not really. and this is ok. same for howard hawks - for hawks it's all a 'code of masculinity' and saucy dames. he left the visuals to the camera guy. fuck that. i don't wanna be at the mercy of my cinematographer. greg toland (cinematographer of Citizen Kane) famously explained that orson welles was able to reinvent cinema with his first feature in that he didn't know the 'rules', he didn't understand the limitations -- he demanded shots from toland that hadn't been done before and refused to hear that they couldn't be done. but there's only one orson welles. the rest of us will believe our DP when s/he tells us that a shot cannot be done. the rest of us will allow our DP to construct a shot. fuck that. filmmakers rule #1 -- on set, know how to do everybody's job better than them. spielberg has kaminski, a visual fucking god, but every spielberg film looks like a spielberg film.in the early 90s francis ford coppola said that new technology would democratize cinema. a few years back james gray said that new technology hasn't done much in the way of the democratization of cienema in that 99.9% of 'homemade' movies suck. gray's right. you gotta know the technical stuff. lumet is a very good filmmaker. (and i thank him kindly for Before the Devil Knows You're Dead -- the naked marisa tomei scenes have provided invaluable masturbatory assistance). and making movies is a great read. but, for me, it's a cautionary tale. i might never make a film as good as network. shit, i hope i make one half as good. but fuck if i let my cinematographer or the time in which i live be the deciding factor of what my film looks like! be like a writer banging out the beats of his novel only to have someone else handle the prose!* this is in no way meant to disparage cinematographers. the great ones are every bit the genius as the great directors. and a great cinematographer matched with a great director (bergman/nykvist godard/coutard, coppola/willis) can create something transcendent. but i ain't a cinematographer. and in terms of my shit, i'm an insufferable egomaniac. and hopefully the tension b/t a tough-minded director and tough-minded cinematographer will make 'em both better than they could've been on their own.

First published in 1977, this popular book has become the source on film and media. Now, James Monaco offers a revised and rewritten third edition incorporating every major aspect of this dynamic medium right up to the present. Looking at film from many vantage points, How to Read a Film: Movies, Media, Multimedia explores the medium as both art and craft, sensibility and science, tradition and technology. After examining film's close relation to such other narrative media as the novel, painting, photography, television, and even music, Monaco discusses those elements necessary to understand how films convey meaning and, more importantly, how we can best discern all that a film is attempting to communicate. In a key departure from the book's previous editions, the new and still-evolving digital context of film is now emphasized throughout How to Read a Film. A new chapter on multimedia brings media criticism into the twenty-first century with a thorough discussion of topics like virtual reality, cyberspace, and the proximity of both to film. Monaco has likewise doubled the size and scope of his "Film and Media: A Chronology" appendix. The book also features a new introduction, an expanded bibliography, and hundreds of illustrative black-and-white film stills and diagrams. It is a must for all film students, media buffs, and movie fans.

From Scorsese and Lynch to Wenders and Godard: interviews with twenty of the world's greatest directors on how they make films - and why.Each great film-maker has a secret method to his moviemaking - and each is different. In Moviemakers' Masterclass, Laurent Tirard talks to an illustrious collection of today's greatest directors to get to the core of their approach to cinema. The results shed a unique light upon the mysteries of the directorial process. Martin Scorsese, we learn, likes setting up each shot very precisely in advance. Lars von Trier, on the other hand, refuses to think about a set-up until the day of filming. And Bernardo Bertolucci tries to dream his shots the night before . . .Other directors featured include Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar, Tim Burton, the Coen brothers, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Wong Kar-Wai.

One of the better and more realistic 'our plane crashed in the woods and now we have to try to survive' stories. Gotta love the dog with the heart of gold, as always, and the circumstances allow us to see Greg and Patricia less as characters and more as humans. It's also refreshing to see a portrayal of two siblings who genuinely love each other, but who also bicker because, well, they're siblings and sometimes it's fun. My only issue is with my particular copy: a dog on the cover who looks nothing like the Santa Paws in the books.

A poor mother fox is trapped in a steel trap she has one young fox left and two kids name Mandy Hope and James Hunter help the mother by taking care of the young fox till both foxes are strong enough to go in the wild. I chose this book because the title seemed very interesting to me, also the picture drew me in. Mandy seemed like she was the most interesting character because she is adventurous in the woods and she loves taking care of animals with her mom and dad in animal ark. The least interesting person may have to be James because I feel like he is a side kick of Mandy. He follows her around and does what she says like a puppy. Even though he is trying to be a good friend. My favorite part of the book has to be when the baby fox health improved. My least favorite part of the book was when Mandy and James had to see the helpless mother fox almost die in the woods. Reading Mandy cried her eyes out when she saw this made me relate, when one of my animals were dieing. A important symbol in the book has to be the young fox which they called lucky to me the fox represents new life and a new begging. I would like to tell the author of how he did a really nice job with the book, it was a book with very descriptive writing and also it was just a very excellent story. I would properly trade places with James, Because I feel like I would be more help then he is. Instead of James agreeing to let the animals go into the wild I would tell Mandy to keep the animals in the animal ark to be in a safer environment. "Mandy felt the tears roll down her cheeks, She would miss lucky so much but she knew that a wild animal belonged in the wild" to me that quote is very interesting because even though Mandy wanted the mother and lucky to be with her and James she let those emotions go, so that both animals can be free. I learned from this book about letting go and helping others in need. I would read more animal ark story later in life because to me each story teaches you new things.
