Courtesy of Teens Read Too
In BEST SHORTS, you never know what surprise you're going to get next. Unlike many short story collections, which usually revolve around some thread of a theme, the stories Avi selected for this anthology come from all over the genre spectrum. The one thing they all have in common, however, is that they are all great little adventures you can experience without the big time commitment of an ...

Crispin: Cross of Lead, The (Crispin)

Avi

Hyperion Book CH, 2004

A Great Read-Aloud Book
Let's see, what else can be said here that isn't already said? Crispin is easily (and consistently) summarized as it is a simple story, clearly told, that hangs an intriguing and imaginative tale on a skeleton of a few basic facts. The scene and scenary are actually quite foreign to the modern child, but Avi's delivery renders 14th century England in the times of Edward (sounds knowledgeable, ...

The Vice Guide to Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll

Suroosh Alvi, Gavin McInnes, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 2003

Porcelain Classic
This is easily one of the best toilet books ever. A perfect tome to have near the throne, this book has random article after random article about the title topics. Vice is a vicious, free magazine that discourages subscriptions. The articles here vary from drug write-ups to profiles on black metal ghouls. Vice is smart and sickly cynical. This is not Maxim or FHM. Highly recommended. You ...

Lion of Jordan: The Life of King Hussein in War and Peace
Avi Shlaim

Knopf, 2008

During his long reign (1953?1999), King Hussein of Jordan was one of the most dominant figures in Middle Eastern politics and a consistent proponent of peace with Israel. This is the first major account of his life, written with access to his official documents and with the cooperation (but not approval) of his family and staff, and also extensive interviews with international policy makers. For more than forty years, Hussein walked a ...

HarperTrophy, 2003

My reluctant reader loved this one!
My son read this in 2nd grade, and he was beginning to struggle with reading. The story is about a young boy who is "tricked" into learning by his aunt, a teacher. My son loved that the boy in the story was learning and didn't even know it. We both enjoyed this book.

Robinson Crusoe

3 reviews
Daniel Defoe

Aladdin, 2001

Island Adventure Turned Spiritual Journey
This is a phenomenal and well-written classic novel and in my opinion, the best of all the "Island Adventure" books. Crusoe, having disavowed the advice of his father, becomes a sailor. The boat he takes from Brazil is destroyed in a storm, and Crusoe, who washes up on a supposedly deserted island, is the lone survivor. With no other choice but death, he becomes quickly aware of wilderness ...

The Seer of Shadows

Avi

HarperCollins, 2008

A top-notch ghost story...and a first-rate historical novel.
These days, when even my four-year-old niece has a functioning digital camera, it's hard to imagine a time when photography was still more mysterious than commonplace. Back in 1872, when Avi's THE SEER OF SHADOWS is set, photography was a brand new art form, a complicated set of processes understood by few and believed by many to be a sort of magic. No wonder, then, that some unscrupulous ...
