This is a fun story for young people with 12 year old, Dakota aka Bones, and his journey to find the missing treasure of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It’s a fun adventure that takes place in Utah’s red rock country. The character has some unique skills, like free diving, and demonstrates perseverance, ingenuity and caring as he endeavors to decipher the map. Dakota runs into a period where he is left to survival and demonstrates some good, mostly realistic survival skills. One thing I especially like about the story is that Dakota’s motivation isn’t greed or for himself, but to help his ill grandfather.

The Pocket Guide to 125 Medicinal Plants and their Uses (Healing Arts) Was submitted by Brian Ruppert who writes:  I have a number of foraging/medicinal and edible plant books, and this is one of my favorites.  My only issue with this book so far is that the pictures of the plants are drawings and not color photos.

This is a good supplemental book. Note, it does not include any identification information, so you need to already know the plant or have another source. What it does have are good descriptions of the various uses of plants by different tribes. It follows up with a section on illnesses and provides recipes and the combinations of plants to use for specific illnesses and conditions.
