The books I've read recently and my (and Wikipedia's) thoughts about
them
Winnie-the-Pooh A. A. Milne
In the Milne books, Pooh is naive and slow-witted, but he is also
friendly, thoughtful and steadfast. Although he and his friends agree
that he is "a bear of very little brain," Pooh is occasionally
acknowledged to have a clever idea, usually driven by common sense.
After a staged attack that killed the President of the United States
and most of Congress, a radical political group called the "Sons of
Jacob" used quasi-Christian ideology to launch a revolution. The
United States Constitution was suspended, newspapers were censored,
and what was formerly the United States of America was changed into a
military dictatorship known as the Republic of Gilead.
Jon's desperate quest to find out why the ghosts are after him leads
him to the mystery of a centuries-old murder. Meanwhile, he is still
pursued by the vengeful ghosts, so with the help of a new friend,
Ella, he summons a noble ghost – Sir William Longspee, the Ghost
Knight of the title – to protect him. They finally uncover a
complicated truth and right a grievous wrong.
