Marstro Press, 2009

Why so many harsh, unfair reviews?
Before this book was free it received nearly all positive reviews. Obviously it has gained a lot more exposure since becoming free, and is not just being read by teens anymore. But the book's title and cover picture must have given a lot of people the wrong impression ...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Public Domain Books, 1997

Curiouser and Curiouser
This book is an absolutely splendid read for your inner child. It is down-to-earth enough for younger kids to enjoy, but is also full of logical jokes and play-on-words that adults can crack a smile from. After lazing off during her lessons, Alice is distracted by the ...

Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday

Zonderkidz, 2009

So Cute! Outstanding Book!
Inside the pages of this enlightening children's work we are given a peek into the mind of a child as they are about to experience their first day at church. I had never given much thought to the subject matter of this book and I am thankful to author, Mike Thaler, for ...

Never Blame the Umpire

Zonderkidz, 2010

A Heartbreaking and Hopeful Story
Never Blame the Umpire by Gene Fehler is a tearjerker of a story. I read the inside flap when I checked it out and knew that there was going to be some form of tragedy in the family. However, when I finally knew what the tragedy was, I could barely keep reading. ...

Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games)

Scholastic Press, 2010

Catch this Great Read
I bought this series for my "tween" daughter and ended up loving it as well. A strong female character drives this thought provoking adventure. While it contains some violence it seemed justified. The story is intense and the messages about war, revolution, ...

The Heroes of Olympus, Book One: The Lost Hero

Rick Riordan

Hyperion Book CH, 2010

SPQR -- Senatus Populusque Romanus (the Senate and the people of Rome)
Rick Riordan's "The Lost Hero" is, to me at least, an even better start to a series than "The Lightning Thief" was to the Percy Jackson series. I could be biased, of course, because I already have read the entire Percy Jackson series, and thus was already hooked ...

The Jungle Book

Public Domain Books, 2006

A whole world of jungles
i saw the jungle book when i was a kid and expected the book to be all about the advenures of a little boy in the jungle. but this book is so much more. and the poetry is just beautiful. my favorite story is rikki tikki tavvi.

Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games)

Scholastic Press, 2010

A More Mature Novel, A Satisfying Conclusion
I was talking to a friend of mine a couple weeks ago. I had turned her on to the Hunger Games series and she was complaining how she'd lost a couple Saturday nights to finishing each of the first two books. We were discussing the books a bit when she said, "they're ...

The Hunger Games

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2009

Hungering For More, More, More--A Young Adult Title Of Great Daring And Sophistication
At this stage, there is little that I can add to the discussion of the immensely popular "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Conceptualized and released under the "young adult" banner, Collins' novel has found widespread acceptance and acclaim across all age ...

Ranger's Apprentice, Book 9: Halt's Peril

John Flanagan

Philomel, 2010

Doesn't Dissapiont
This book is AWESOME!! It raps the ongoing plot in the book before it with the Outsider cult. The Ranger's Apprentice series continues to impress me. It is a great book and should be read by everyone.

Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset

Suzanne Collins

Scholastic Press, 2010

totally awesome
This boxset was way worth getting it didnt show much pictures or have much of a discription of the product. But i do know that i was not sure if it was for sure a accual three books. I think that, that should be clarified when in the desription or details of the ...

I Shall Wear Midnight

Terry Pratchett

HarperCollins, 2010

Heartwarming
I deleted a long, involved review because it seems to me that in the end, it comes down to just a few words. Heartwarming, awe-inspiring, content. Thank you Terry Pratchett. You have done what so few authors can do- you have ended a beloved series in just the ...

Adventures of Pinocchio

Public Domain Books, 2006

Adventures of Pinocchio
The story of Pinocchio has been rewritten so often that it is nice to read the original translation. I love the ability to but the book to audio much better than TV.
