Cynthia's Comments:
"Just as Kyna’s adoptive parents fill her with stories of magical creatures from their native Ireland -- silkies, fairies and leprechauns -- her story has a hint of magic as well. You'll find yourself cheering for Kyna with every water step she takes. And you'll love the Irish myths woven into along with a little bit of mystery too. Good discussion points for mother-daughter book clubs reading Water Steps include overcoming fears, friendship, acceptance, and courage. Recommended for book clubs with girls aged 9 to 12."

Richard's Comments:
"This is a pleasure to read, and use. It starts with excellent guidance on equipment and techniques. This is followed by many easy-to-use recipes that are also great guides even for non-smoke cooking. And for fun there are lots of anecdotes and historical-fun boxes interspersed. If you haven't done this style of cooking, this gem will convert you." (read more)

Bev's Comments:
"Joshilyn Jackson is the kind of writer we all dream of being. Every description contains scents and sounds and connections that leave the reader no choice but to become a part of the book. The plot of her book is compelling and sufficiently twisted, but the experience of living inside it is extraordinary." (read more)
