Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just finished reading a book to give to my 11 year old and thought I would recommend it here. The book is The Mousehunter by Alex Milway. I found out about the book from IndieBound.org, an association of independent bookstores. I found the following review helpful:

"In a world populated by thousands of species of mice, which are prized not only as clever pets and useful companions but also as rare collectibles, 12 year-old Emiline aspires to become a famous mousehunter, traveling the globe in search of new species. Soon, she will find herself on an ocean-going adventure as daring, treacherous, and suspenseful as Treasure Island." Ellen Klein, Hooray for Books!, Alexandria VA

The book is recommended for ages 9 - 12 and I would agree. It would be a good read for both girls and boys.

I'd love to hear what others think!
