Katyn: Stalin's Massacre and the Triumph of Truth de Allen Paul
Thorough and highly interesting all the way. Has a good mix of “true crime” stories blended with historical prose.

MichaelPark | outras 2 resenhas | Dec 27, 2020 | When I was a young girl, pretty much the only books I was interested in reading were about animals, especially dogs and horses. I still enjoy them now through older eyes.
This story is told from Honey’s point of view and she tells it in a true southern voice. Such a great way to relate her story.
Honey knew to be careful. Many dangers awaited on the Creature Trail. But, being a pup, just one year old, she’s gregarious and full of energy, and that one careless moment lands her where she is now.
A steel trapped has clamped down on her leg and there’s no escaping it. She faints in fear and pain as the trapper scoops her up and carries her away from the swamp.
Topper Guy, the trapper suspects this creature is on the ‘dangered’ list yet he’s not gonna let that stop him from making money from her pelt.
If not for the timely arrival of Miss Jane, Honey would have been dead meat. The kindly woman rescues her from the trapper and takes her home to Banbury Cross Farm. Imagine Honey’s delight when she sees all of the other dogs there.
You see, Miss Jane and her partner, Mr. Bill, have made it their life’s purpose to rescue the ditch dogs of North Carolina. The Dixie Dingo Dog, aka ditch dog, is recognized as one of the oldest breeds in North America.
As Honey heals from her wound and adjusts to life on the farm, she worries about her mom and dad and siblings still living in the swamp. Something is killing the animals there and she fears they might be next.
The first person I suspected was Topper Guy. To him, “A ditch dog ain’t nothin but a varmint – they all gotta go.” But, not one to jump to conclusions, I looked for other suspects.
Honey is settling in and learning many exciting new things. Her favorite is the agility training. But, she can’t relax and enjoy her new loving family until her real one is safe.
When I learned this story was loosely based on true events, I had to know more about these beautiful dogs. The tireless efforts of some very special people have brought these endangered dogs into the limelight, procuring them a place as a recognized breed and protecting them.
The Dixie Dingo is a smart, agile, loving and loyal companion. A perfect Man’s Best Friend. They are not connected to the Dingos of Australia. These are American dogs, with their own individual classification.
Now that I’ve learned about these wonderful animals, I think I’ve seen a few around my town. I often thought they looked like the Australian Dingo. They have a distinct look with their curled tail, wheat colored coat, and classic features. I wonder if the owners realize what breed their best friend is. I imagine many think they are mixed breeds and have no idea.
Honey will win your heart, as will the colorful, loving characters that fight the good fight to protect the ditch dogs of the swamp.
A wonderful, feel good story for all ages.… (mais)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Honey was a lovable character and the mystery draws the reader into the story. It does require the reader to think as the dialogue is true to the nature of story, but does not detract from the storyline. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy mysteries, books that include historical background, or animal lovers.

Good book. I feel it is definitely aimed for the older kids - middle and high school. I liked how the book is written from Honey's point of view and in a Southern accent or dialect. I like that historical aspects are mentioned through the book and that the story is told fairly in fast paced way.
