Books with author Bruce Brooks

No one’s more surprised than hockey rookie Dixon Woods when he actually makes the champion Wolfbay Wings team—the best in half the country last year. But this year the Wings’ coach has left for another club, taking the five best players with him—and now the former champs are almost the worst in the league. It’ll take all of Woodsie’s hockey smarts to help turn things around. Is he smart enough and tough enough to take the heat?

Brooks spends a lot of time writing, reading, & thinking about books -- that is, whenever he is not out in nature watching, inquiring, & thinking about what he sees. In this book he brings together his two greatest passions. It is a fascinating collection of writings by some of his favorite -- & least favorite -- authors. With essays, excerpts, observations, & poems by diverse authors, Brooks reveals that how we think & write about nature hold a perfect mirror to who we are. Includes: Italo Calvino, Rachel Carson, Jean-Henri Fabre, Carlos Fuentes, Joanna Greenfield, Stephen Harrigan, Randall Jarrell, Rose Macaulay, Theodore Roethke, Graham Swift, & T.H. White.
