After the American Revolution, the hardy settlers of Southwest Virginia sought to populate and civilize the howling wilderness. One of these was Virginia Barbary Slemp Shoun, who accompanied her husband to what became Mountain City, Tennessee, there to bear and rear seventeen children. Shy of people, Barbary finds personal strength while confronting the predatory fauna of the surrounding forest. Although largely fiction, this story incorporates the early history of Johnson County, Tennessee. It brings to life the genealogy of the Slemp family and Shoun family, and includes a fictionalized visit to early Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of Andrew Jackson.Binding Type: Paperback

Another fun title in this series!
Format: Hardcover
This book (and the other two in this series) are constantly checked out at my elementary school library! I love using these books to teach about opinion writing. The kids love the humor and illustrations! They’re great read-alouds too!

The one that started it all! This book made it tradition to get a “the worst” (best) series for my brother for Christmas each year. Everyone loves it, highly recommend getting. Fun to read, great illustration, funny for everyone.

Family favorite series
Format: Hardcover
My daughter had a friend having a unicorn and dragon themed birthday party, so of course we picked up this one and Unicorns Are The Worst for the birthday girl. This series has been a big favorite in our household for over a year. My five year old loves them. The tone and humor are perfect for her age. We love seeing what complaints Gilbert has about each new mythical friend.
