I have been working on the pieces and parts of this video for a month. In the meantime, my school desktop and laptop were converted to Windows 7. I had not used the new Movie Maker, and I was not sure if PhotoStory would work on 7. The learning curve was small and except for the time that it took to download the programs onto my computer I got this put together this afternoon in about 45 minutes. Thank goodness because I have a litany of other computer issues that I won't dwell on now. In this episode there are two recommended books: The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin by Josh Berk and Blood Wounds by Susan Beth Pfeffer . The president of Bookmarked, the high school book group, gives her take on the Pfeffer book.
