books by F. Candice Ransom     books:       Rescue on the Outer Banks (On My Own History) Candice F. Ransom Carolrhoda Books, 2002 Sam Deal and his horse, Ginger, help an African-American lifesaving crew rescue shipwreck victims off the coast of North Carolina in 1896.             Maria Von Trapp: Beyond the Sound of Music (Trailblazer Biographies)3 reviews Candice F. Ransom Carolrhoda Books, 2002 A wonderful biography, even for an adult Although I am a senior adult, I thoroughly enjoyed this biography. I often preread books that I wish to share with my grandchildren. I had often wondered how Maria had come to the convent in the first place and this book takes one back to her early beginnings before that point and then leads one on from there. The book is a fast and enjoyable read. I recommend it heartily!             Little Red Riding Hood (Keepsake Stories)8 reviews Candice F. Ransom Fitzgerald Books, 2007 :) This was the bestest book I have ever read!!! I didn't like the big bad ugly mean wolf though. He was evil!!! The ending was good though!             Susannah (Sunfire, No 2)14 reviews Candice F. Ransom Scholastic Paperbacks, 1984 She's not Scarlett... and that's a good thing! Despite the image on the back cover, Susannah isn't Scarlett. She's a resiliant, strong girl who doesn't wallow in melodrama. War is not romanticized in this book - not only is the loss of life unflinchingly told, but the terrible price that those on the homefront faced - poverty, starvation, and a generally unsettled life. But this isn't a grim story, because of the romance between Susannah ...             Nicole (Sunfire, No 19)11 reviews F. Candice Ransom, Candice F. Ransom Scholastic, 1986 What a page turner! This is an excellent story. I really like the historical accuracy that the author captured regarding the events and people on the Titanic. Every character is unique and proves his or her strength throughout the journey to survive.             Amanda (Sunfire, No 1)20 reviews Candice F. Ransom Scholastic Paperbacks, 1984 Amanda Amanda has grown up wealthy and spoiled in Boston with Joseph as a suitor she expects to marry. However, her life changes dramatically when she is forced to leave the life she knows in Boston for the difficult journey to Oregon on the Oregon Trail. Faced with the harsh realities of trail life, she becomes matures to become a strong, hardworking woman who finds new love in an unsettled land.             Emily (Sunfire, No 11)7 reviews Candice F. Ransom Scholastic, 1985 An Exciting and Educational Book Emily was my favorite book as a child. It taught me a lot about the history of women in medicine and since it describes the dawn of the 20th century, it is especially relevant now, as we face the dawn of the 21st century. Emily is a love story. A young debutante falls in love with a poor medical student and, at the same time, with the world of medicine. Much to her family's shock and ...             The Big Green Pocketbook8 reviews Candice F. Ransom HarperTrophy, 1995 Fantastic!~ This is truly a wonderful book! This story is told by the little girl who is going to town with her mother for the morning. She has a big green pocketbook, just like Mama's, but hers is empty and she can't find anything to put inside it. Mama says "hurry", because the bus is coming, so the little girl brings her empty pocketbook along anyway. During the course of the morning, she gathers many ...             The Promise Quilt6 reviews Candice F. Ransom Walker Books for Young Readers, 2002 A book for your child that will make you weep Both of my Grandmothers quilted, but no other family members seem to believe in the magic of a homemade quilt. I purchased this book for my three preschool daughters. Little did I know what a powerful read aloud opportunity this is. You get: children helping without complaining, a girl who wants to go to school to learn to make her mark, a history lesson, unselfishness, strangers helping ...             Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Keepsake Stories; Brighter Child)3 reviews Candice F. (RTL) Ransom Fitzgerald Books, 2007 Great kids storr! We love the illustrations and the story about the three bears. I liked that the author gave a reason on how the Bears knew Goldilocks had touched the porridge, chair and bed. I also like that the baby bear has a squeaky voice - that's fun to read out loud - the kids enjoy the baby bear voice :)             Sunfire #17 Sabrina1 review Candice F. Ransom Scholastic, 1986 Great novel for that early teen girl I loved reading this book as a young teenager. Unfortunately, I have out grown it and would love to see it in the hands of a young girl interested in romance novels!             Kathleen (Sunfire, No 8)6 reviews F. Candice Ransom Scholastic Paperbacks, 1985 So is it worth it? To a collector of Scholastic's late, lamented young adult historical romances, the tale of Kathleen is the "holy grail". Is it worth it? Not as moving as Emily but it features so much more than your typical Sunfire. Kathleen watches her world crumble around her - sometimes, literally. She loses her home, her family, and finds herself alone in an 1840's Boston that is none to friendly to the ...             Fire in the Sky (On My Own History)2 reviews Candice F. Ransom First Avenue Editions, 1997 Fictionalized account of the Hindenburg disaster Young nine-year-old Stenny was used to losing - at everything! His interest in models, however, leads him to become a hero with his family and friends. The author, Candice Ransome, takes on a challenge writing about such a well known disaster but her research and storytelling skills will entice many young boys to pick up what could very possibly be their first historical fiction book. Shelly ...             Children of the Civil War (Picture the American Past)2 reviews Candice F. Ransom Carolrhoda Books, 1998 Good Introduction to the Civil War. Enjoyable for ages 6-12. (A read to me book for younger readers.) The text is understandable, interesting and accompanied by photos or drawings on almost every page. True stories of children--southern, northern, black and white--provide an excellent understanding of the impact of the war on children and adults. Unlike some other childrens' civil war books that I have seen, there are no curse ...             Listening to Crickets: A Story About Rachel Carson (A Carolrhoda Creative Minds Book) Candice F. Ransom Carolrhoda Books, 1993 Rachel Carson combined her gift of writing with her love of nature to change how the world viewed DDT.

Ransom Scholastic, 1993 the best hi, i usually find romance books sappy, but this one was by far the best i have ever read. it's well written, the character actually has a personality (the girl, i mean, the guy always has such an overbearing one), and she is active in the war! how many girl spies did you see running around in 1776? Bravo!             Big Rigs (Pull Ahead Books)2 reviews Candice F. Ransom Lerner Publications, 2004 Very informative!
