This chapter is mostly about English history. The children, with Handsome John, Phyllis, and others go to look at the English Civil War, and Oliver Cromwell
Unlike the other chapters, this one was linear. We have no actual history of Brother Peter. It’s a messy story, but not as ugly as other chapters
I enjoyed The Unexpected President, despite the lack of documents left to us by Arthur. He destroyed all his papers towards the end of his life.
Agent Josephine is a mini-biography about Josephine Baker. The book is mainly concerned with the star’s career as a secret agent

In Featherstone Park in Northumbria, Mr. Sulzbach made sure each German POW returned home with the understanding of how democracy works.
Mr. Gray did a vast amount of research, it certainly shows in this book which is both dark and moody. Kudos to him for writing about the unknown soldiers
I loved how the author incorporated scenes from The Little Prince into the narrative, allowing Saint-Exupéry to build his classic over the years
The author did an excellent job pulling off the dual timeline. I was surprise to learn that The Lost Apothecary is her first book
This book is brilliant, insane and twisted – a grotesque fable, sometimes funny & beautifully written. Even my daughter came to enjoy it after the first chapter
