Accolade for Good Omens

Whales on Stilts (M. T. Anderson's Thrilling Tales)

M. T. Anderson

Harcourt Children's Books, 2005

Real fun
I am giving this book five stars because it made me smile and laugh so much, so often. Kids around grade 4 (and up) will love its irreverence, as Anderson skillfully skewers common conventions of kid lit, television, advertising, and all the other stupid stuff which ...

Candlewick, 2004

Feed for thought
It's easy enough to compare every dystopia book to 1984 or "Brave New World". Yet here's a dystopia book directed towards a completely different audience, we, the internet generation - teenagers. Aside from the completely different sort of world, "Feed" touches on a ...

Thirsty

M.T. Anderson

Candlewick, 2008

Interesting but flawed

Strange Mr. Satie (Bccb Blue Ribbon Nonfiction Book Award (Awards))

M.T. Anderson

Viking Juvenile, 2003

This is an excellent book
This is an excellent book. My son wondered why Mr. Satie was referred to as "strange," and his question was soon answered. M.T. Anderson gives some amusing anecdotes about this composer who was relatively unknown and quite poor during his lifetime. One example is that ...

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves (The ...

M.T. Anderson

Candlewick, 2008

Astonishingly Good
Reading the first book was like opening Russian nesting dolls. Each revelation leads to yet another amazing revelation. I read the first book without any knowledge of what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised by this irresistable story. The mystery of Octavian ...

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party (The Astonishing ...

M.T. Anderson

Candlewick, 2008

one of the best novels I've read in the past year--YA or otherwise
I LOVED this book. However, it is most certainly not for everyone. This is a challenging read. The language is difficult and even antiquated in parts, but 1) I make it a habit to read with a dictionary nearby so this didn't faze me, and 2) even when I wasn't in the ...

The Beginner's Guide to Spiritual Warfare

Neil T. Anderson, Timothy M. Warner

Excellent Primer on Spiritual Warfare
This title is an excellent primer on spiritual warfare. Anderson avoids excessive jargon, and steers clear of becoming bogged down in intricate theology. His presentation is biblically sound, easy to follow, and spiritually relevant. If you're looking for a short, ...

Forgotten Fires: Native Americans and the Transient Wilderness

Omer C. Stewart, Kat Anderson

University of Oklahoma Press, 2002

Straightforward facts instead of romanticized legend
First presented in the 1950s, yet just as relevant today, Forgotten Fires: Native Americans And The Transient Wilderness by Omer C. Stewart dispels the longstanding cultural myth that Native American communities had no impact on the natural environment surrounding ...

Whales on Stilts: M. T. Anderson's Thrilling Tales

M. T. Anderson

Harcourt Paperbacks, 2006

Great for all ages
My kids and I listened to this book on CD while on a trip. I had to talk my 16-year-old son into it, as he was convinced he would not like it. We all loved it. The reader was great, but the book itself was brilliant. Great pace, great characters, smart humor. You won't ...

Dale Seymour Publications, 1997

Community as Partner: Theory and Practice in Nursing

Elizabeth T Anderson, Judith M McFarlane

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Community as Partner
I needed this book quickly for a class I was taking. I had been sent the wrong book by the university I attend. There was no time to waste, Amazon got this to me the next day as promised. I did not even mind paying the little bit of extra $$ so that I could get my ...

The Serpent Came to Gloucester

M.T. Anderson

Candlewick, 2005

LOVELY, LUMINOUS ILLUSTRATIONS AND LILTING RHYME
It has been documented that in August of 1817 the residents of Gloucester, a small Massachusetts fishing village, saw a rather frightening sight - a gigantic sea serpent swimming off the coast. Evidently, these reports caused a bit of a stir as a number of people came ...
