Children

Jamie Lee Curtis

Joanna Cotler, 2008

A fun educational book!
Reviewed by Cayden (age 4) and Max (age 2) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (9/08) "Big Words for Little People" incorporates a lot of "big words" into everyday situations applicable to young children. Some of the words used in the book are "consequence," ...

Fantastic Book
This is a great book, not my favorite of the series but it is still definately worth reading

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

great read
This is a awesome book, this is the first of four books in the Twilight Saga. Stephanie Meyer is one of those authors who have the rare ability to capture the readers imagination and make you feel like a bystander witnessing the action firsthand

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

A message to those hating on Stephenies work.
Contains Major Spoiler! First off I just want to tell all the haters that they're ridiculous. I don't mind people disagreeing with the book or downright hating it. What I'm sick and tired of is hearing about how Stephenie went and made Bella's character a bad role ...

The Shack

William P. Young

Windblown Media, 2008

Transforming story
A friend gave me this book to read. I finished it in 4 days. I am truly transformed. It is amazing how this book can take your mind out of the every day perceptions of reality and show you a totally different point of view. I would recommend this book to everyone! ...

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Great Book!
This was a wonderfully written book. I read it then passed it to my teenage daughter, who also loved it. Upon finishing this book I immediately started reading Breaking Dawn, which is even better than Eclipse!

Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)

Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

Brisingr
Excellent read. Christopher has lived up to the previous books in this series. Can't wait for the next one

Inkdeath (Inkheart)

Cornelia Funke

The Chicken House, 2008

Funke is on a serious roll
I love the Inkheart trilogy, I seriously can't get enough of it! I must admit at first I was somewhat reluctant to read the conclusion to the trilogy, afraid it might be a letdown as most serie-enders are becoming, but it was as excellent as the first and second books ...

In this comprehensive and entertaining resource, David Macaulay reveals the inner workings of the human body as only he could. In order to present this complicated subject in an accurate and entertaining way, he put in years of research. He sat in on anatomy classes, dissections, and even reached inside the rib cages of two cadavers to compare ...

We the People: The Story of Our Constitution

Lynne Cheney

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008

The prefect gift
A friend recently introduced me to Lynne Cheney's books, and I think they're some of the best history books for kids that I've seen. "We the People" is no exception. Mrs. Cheney does a great job of telling the story of our Founding in both an interesting and ...

The Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

Scholastic Press, 2008

Great Read for Teen (and Adults)
The best indicator of a good "teen fiction" book is an appeal to adults. I enjoyed this story and my teen years are 30 years behind me. Others have detailed the story, so I won't elaborate, but suffice it to say that I have always enjoyed science fiction and this ...

The Graveyard Book

Neil Gaiman

HarperCollins, 2008

It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures. Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly ...
