Vikings: History of Vikings, from the history of "rune stones" to "Norse Mythology" by Michael J. Stewart
Starts with a table of contents where each chapter has more detailed items of interest about the Viking and how they lived and why they did things.
Signup for author's newsletter. Started watching Templar's and viking shows on the streaming devices and found the things they did fascinating.
The sea and why they went that way and also the rune stones I am familiar with even some of the characters in the books were depicted in shows I watched.
Love learning about their farming methods and who was in charge of what jobs.
Fascinating learning so much and where techniques used today came from originally.
A Parcel for Prudence by Hallee Bridgeman
Starts with dedication page to the group of women and prologue about the start of Muriel and how she came into the group.
This story starts out with Muriel (Prudence) and it's her birthday and her parents are coming to pay a visit and they believe along with her husband that she can be of benefit to the cause.
She's in high society and has others wait on her so they decide to put her through training. Hated to hear of the interrogation practices but she was strong enough to complete that and how to cook.
They send her off to occupied France where she meets up with many other sisters and she is a big help as a courier.
Like how everything is the same for all the stories, they end up in the plane. Lots of worship for God to help her through the turmoil.
Story ends with inspired by real events and how the story came to be, pictures along the way showing what is described, British and Scottish words and phrases translated, French words and also German ones.
Period vehicles are shown and described. Character lists and a summary of each of the other books in this series.

Grace's Ground War by Hallee Bridgeman
This book starts out with the women who made up this group. Prologue starts the story of when the family was in Hebron Palestine in 1929 and they are Jews but the war is around them and they must flee and change religion that others see them as to survive.
Love that the kids train to become soldiers and can survive. Their dad knew the time would come.
This story follows another and I've read them out of order but they have plans to blow things up so German are stalled in their plans.
The big event goes off fine but there are casualties as the story ends on a Nazi plane heading to London with the prisoners that escaped among those who helped them...

Charity's Code by Hallee Bridgeman
Starts with dedication page and then prologue.
Love how women get names other than their own depicting the work ethics they do.
Attributes of the name given start the story. We find Dorothy and she's sending Tom her husband off to the war.
Their children will live at her parents while she serves in her own way. She realizes she loves puzzles and can solve them extremely fast and accurately, just what the organization needs.
Love how she is able to also send along coded messages to the POW's that she hopes along with others to gain freedom soon.
Her perception of turmoil is right on as there's just a handful of people left at the dining room. Many have been sent to do their jobs using the expertise they possess.
Lot of women are at the camp and there are rules-no personal information is allowed.
Sounds to me like they are the ones imprisoned during war times.

Inside My Favorite Box by Dan Sammon
Starts with a dedication page then the story.
Colorful children's book about an empty box that a boy finds things to play with and
starts on his adventure. First it's a plane, when that crashes it's a boat, when that crashes
it's a race car then a train...
Great selections for boys
