I read Mysterious Benedict Society

I LOVE this book! It is full of mysteries, puzzles, riddles, and conundrums. I especially liked the part where all the kids passed the test in different ways. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.

I went to Henry Ford Museum

I went to the Titanic exhibit at Henry Ford Museum with my mom. We got a ticket as we "boarded" with the name of a real passenger. At the end of the experience we learned that my passenger did not survive.

I watched African Cats

I watched Disney Earth's African Cats about lions, cheetahs, and other animals in Africa. I was surprised to learn that lions will fight to take over another pride and run off the existing cubs of that pride.

Ich habe "In einem tiefen, dunklen Wald" auf Deutsch gelesen

This fractured fairy tale is the German children's book author Paul Maar. He has won numerous awards. It was a fun read with entertaining graphics and part of the storyline was about conquering fear of monsters. Strong female characters, wry  humor, spoofs on traditional royalty roles, and crazy plot twists made me see why he is an award-winning author in Germany.

Ich habe "Der Vater eines Moerders" auf Deutsch gelesen

This is a book by Alfred Anderesh and is based on a true time during his schooling in southern Germany just before WW II. The director of the school was the father of the infamous Himmler of the Nazi regime. It was very well written and had a powerful impact.  I really enjoyed it, even if it was not the mystery book I thought it would be by the title.
