Clare Vanderpool an excellent writer who shares her love for historical fiction, and how her early schooling and teachers influenced her as she writes Moon Over Manifest. She portrays her character's determination of figuring out where she belongs, who she is in relation to her father's upbringing, and discovers through exploration of hearing intriguing stories in Manifest about her father's past.
"The one doing the thinking is the one doing the learning" is a phrase I impart to my students. I consistently remind my students that thinking empowers their capability and drive to succeed. "Knowledge is Power,"(Francis Bacon) with that power comes ownership, acceptance, responsibility, courage, perseverance, gratitude, respect, and assimilation of productive outcomes.
