Talk about a sampler! In "Caroline's Secret Message," we are treated to a birthday dinner, embroidery intrigue, a rescue plot, and grandma's tips for winter prep. Did we mention Caroline makes a new friend named Rhonda in this book, too? Perhaps we will never understand how Caroline used a raccoon story and her sampler to give her father an escape plan from prison, but we can appreciate a good thriller/birthday book/friendship story when we see it. The War of 1812 may be "the war no one wanted," but these deftly woven plots will keep us coming back for more. Special note: if you're looking for an excuse to brush up on stitching skills, OR if you feel like being creative and crafty in any other way, stay tuned!
