books by Margaret Hodges     books:       Butterscotch Blues94 reviews Margaret Johnson-Hodge St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2001 I loved this book This book was the ultimate test of Love. I don't know if I could have done it like the main character did it, but I have to respect her steadfastness in love. I truly fell in love with this book. I liked the girlfriends, the way the author took me from one scene to the next, smoothly. This book is a good read.I highly recommend it.             Joan of Arc: The Lily Maid2 reviews Margaret Hodges Holiday House, 1999 Illustrations that beautifully bring the story home! I was impressed with the look of this book as much as with the content. Both the author and the illustrator have created a lovely retelling of the story of Joan! And when my, then 6 year old, daughter brought it home from her school library, I could see her spark of interest in St. Joan coming to life. One year later, she brought up the notion of finding this book again. She hadn't seen it ...             St. Jerome and the Lion2 reviews Margaret Hodges Orchard Books, 1991 Beautifully-illustrated legend of St. Jerome If you're lucky enough to run across this book, you'll be very happy to have it in your collection of children's books.

Books for Youth (Awards))3 reviews Margaret Hodges Holiday House, 2004 It's a busy time in Camelot. I have to push the pram a lot. You could be forgiven for thinking that it was about time for Margaret Hodges to rest on her laurels. Consider her widespread accomplishments. In 1983 she takes Edward Spencer's "Fairy Queen" and turns it into a Caldecott winning picture book that is readable by children ("Saint George and the Dragon"). As I write this the woman is nearing her 95th birthday and is still going strong. Heck, ...             The Natural History Society of Jamaica: Guide to the Blue And John Crow Mountains Ian Randle Publishers, 2008 The Guide to the Blue and John Crow Mountains is more than a guide book.
