The Mighty Street Sweeper

Patrick Moore

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2006

love this book!
This is a really adorable book. The drawings in particular are very alive and happy and the story was very entertaining. I'm a pretty picky kid's book reader-- so many of them are bland and predictable, but this one's got heart and soul!

Blood Magic: Secrets of Thaumaturgy (Vampire: The Masquerade)

Justin Achilli, Jess Heinig, ...

BAMPH!!!!!!

The Astronomy Encyclopedia

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

This book has everything you would want to know.
This book is state of the art in information. It can answer any possible question you can ask about astronomy. It is a thick heavy hard covered book. I spent two hours just reading the captions of over 500 pictures and learned things I never thought about. Get it.
