McElderry, 1994 A Favorite Series Revisited I've recently been trying to find books I read as a child and finally completed my 'Ratha' series. This and 'Ratha and Thistle-Chaser' are the books in the series I never had the opportunity to read, mainly because I was already in my teens & early 20's when they were published (1990 & 1994). Some technical notes: After having read Jean M. Auel's "Clan of the Cave Bear" series and the ...             Ratha's Creature44 reviews Clare Bell Gollancz, 1986 Magnificent I have read many feline fantasies,but none of them touch this one.It is better than the Warriors books,and I think that older Warriors fans will love this book.The harsh landscape and the complicated,realistic characters are wonderful!A word of warning,though:this is not a cutsey kitty book.Ratha's Creature is a very deep,allegorical,and thought provoking book.Some of the raw,savage ...             Clan Ground (The Named)12 reviews Clare Bell Puffin, 2007 Great Sequel to Ratha's Creature There are some sequels that are poorly written and badly thought out.I am extremely happy to say that that is NOT the case with this book! Clan Ground is even better and more thought provoking than Ratha's Creature was. The suspense never let up,and I had to be almost literally torn away from it because I couldn't put it down! This book,although short in comparison to other stories,is very deep. ...             Ratha's Courage (The Named, Book 5)2 reviews Clare Bell Imaginator Pr, 2008 Long Awaited and Well Worth the Wait I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of 'Ratha's Courage' and hope I can do it justice with my review! Clare Bell has been in hiding for many years now, but she has finally come back to her fans with "Ratha's Courage". It picks up where "Ratha and Tail-Chaser" left off, furthering the tenuous relationship between the Named and the communal followers of True-of-Voice. I was awed by the ...             Firebirds Soaring: An Anthology of Original Speculative Fiction Nancy Farmer, Nancy Springer, ... Puffin, 2008 First Firebirds . Then Firebirds Rising . Now there is Firebirds Soaring , the third anthology of original stories by some of today’s finest writers of fantasy and science fiction.

McElderry, 1986 Cats and Time Travel Just Seem to Go Together! Kichebo is a black cheetah, born in a far-flung future. Unlike the gold-coated, black spotted cheetahs around her, her coat is sable with gold markings. Everywhere she goes, she is hunted by strange creatures in sky vehicles that try to capture her. Unable to find acceptance or safety among her kind, she makes contact with another--amazingly like herself. Kehknemt lived thousands of years ago, ...             Ratha's Challenge: The Fourth Book of the Named3 reviews Clare Bell Puffin, 2007 Old Love Revived Recently, I found and purchased Ratha's Challenge by Clare Bell. The last time I recall reading this book and the others in the series, I was a girl in Junior High school. I loved it then and I am loving it now. For years, I had been searching for this and others in the series. Web searches brought little until I took one last chance and searched through Amazon.com's database. Here, after ...             The Jaguar Princess6 reviews Clare Bell Tor Books, 1994 One of the greatest books I've ever read! I first read this book when I was nine years old, and even nine years later I hace never forgotten the gripping emotions I feel when reading it. I am quite an avid reader, usually going through as many as ten books in a week. Naturally, I have come across many different types of books ranging from horrid to wonderful. This story not only managed to enthrall me, it drew me into the story and made ...             Hirschfeld's New York2 reviews Harry N. Abrams, 2001 Genius in a bottle of ink When my son was seven, he used to eagerly check the arts and leisure section of the Sunday New York Times each weekend to see if there was a new drawing by the "Nina Man". If there was, there would follow an intense exploration of the drawing, usually followed by a crow of delight, "I found the Ninas!" The "Nina Man" is, of course, Al Hirschfeld, still merrily among us at 99, and Nina is the ...             Ratha and Thistle-Chaser: The Third Book of the Named2 reviews Clare Bell Puffin, 2007 The Best Book of the Series I always thought Ratha could just as easily be a villain as a hero. She is rash, uncompromising, and ruthless in her upholding of the law, and never hesitates to use the Red Tongue. However, in this book, the character of Newt is a genuine heroine. Sympathetic but not pitiable, Newt battles against her haunted past and the deformity that it left upon her. Newt is a survivor, and you love to ...             Art of This Century1 review Jennifer Blessing, Julia Brown, ... Guggenheim Museum, 2003 Art of This Century: The Guggenheim Museum: Puro Arte. Para los que aun no visitaron en forma personal The Guggenheim Museum of N.Y. con su innovadora arquitectura del genio Frank Lloyd Wright, leer este libro será un buen motivo para que puedan conocerlo.             Jim Dine: Walking Memory 1959-19691 review Jim Dine Guggenheim Museum, 2003 catalogue ha sido una buena adquisición, me parecen interesantísimos los textos y el énfasis que se hace en las etapas tempranas de Dine aunque me han hecho falta imágenes de las pinturas recientes que salen en el Five themes del mismo.
