Simon Winchester fulfilled that expectation and gave me a detailed and interesting snapshot of the times as well. In that way it was reminiscent of William Manchester's excellent work, A World Lit Only By Fire. Winchester also covered the ...             Volcanoes! Mountains of Fire (Step-Into-Reading, Step 4)2 reviews Eric Arnold Random House Books for Young Readers, 1997 volcanoes mountains of fire I think that this is a good book and I know that this is a good book. The part I like about it is when the volcano erupts.The part I don't like about it is when people died.I would recommend this to a 4th grade reader and I would have preferred for it to have more pages. I give it a 5 stars because it has nice pictures and I learned new information about volcanoes.             The House of Power (Atherton, Book 1)15 reviews Patrick Carman Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008 A very good read I stopped into a book store one day, and this book happened to catch my eye. It looked fairly decent, so I bought it. That was one of the best things I have ever done. This book is absolutely fantastic! It is so complex and mysterious, but that just makes it more appealing! I suggest you read this book!             Volcanoes (The Wonders of Our World)4 reviews Neil Morris Crabtree Publishing Company, 1995 Great volcano book. Wonderful illustrations. I grabbed a whole bunch of volcano books from our local public library (because our little boy thinks volcanoes are "neat"). This book was the best. It is so excellent that I decided to buy it.             A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 190693 reviews Simon Winchester HarperCollins, 2005 Eclectic excursion through history and science This is four intertwined topics in one book, which means that you get either a highly informative amalgamation or a confusing muddle, depending on your personal taste. I'm inclined toward the former assessment, although I preferred Winchester's writing in his earlier book on Krakatoa. - The main story, of course, is the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. But other than a brief scene-setter at the ...             Earthquake in the Early Morning (Magic Tree House #24) (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))12 reviews Mary Pope Osborne Random House Books for Young Readers, 2001 Earthquake in the early morning I like this book because it is interesting.

Although the writer is Christian, he does not explain the recession as an end of times brought on by God. Previous reviews written by Christian haters should be ignored. Larry Burkett explains clearly what the government has been doing wrong with regards to our economy and why it is doomed. I highly ...             Nature in a Nutshell for Kids: Over 100 Activities You Can Do in Ten Minutes or Less5 reviews Jean Potter Jossey-Bass, 1995 A MUST for Home Educator's I am a Home Educating mother of two. We have gone through literally dozens of Science books, some with sensational full color. However, this black and white back-to-basics book "Nature in a Nutshell for Kids" has been a knock-out with my kids! It's simple and the experiments/projects use things you already have in your home. The activities require that the kids get in touch with the world ...             Little Earthquakes : A Novel (Washington Square Press)246 reviews Jennifer Weiner, 2005 Much more than a good 'beach read' Like everything I've read by Jennifer Weiner, I absolutely adored this book. It featured real, fully realized and emotionally intelligent characters -- both men AND women. I fell in love with Becky, Ayinde, Kelly and Lia, so much so that I didn't even have to look up their names just now! I read the book more than a month ago and haven't stopped thinking about it. While other reviewers have ...             Phantom Stallion: Wild Horse Island #6: Sea Shadow (Phantom Stallion: Wild Horse Island)2 reviews Terri Farley HarperTrophy, 2008 A wonderful horse adventure Reviewed by Mary Johnson (age 15) for Reader Views (6/08) "Phantom Stallion: Wild Horse Island #6: Sea Shadow" is a wonderful book about a 13-year-old girl named Darby Leilani Kealoha Carter and her half-wild mustang named Hoku (which means star in Hawaiian), who live on the island of Moku Lio Hihiu with Darby's Grandpa.

He and his co writer Dawn Burgess are geophysicists, well able to examine the evidence and conclude that archaeologists, historians, and others who have developed theories about the past without taking seismic events into account are mistaken. Most of the book ...             Amazing Grace23 reviews Danielle Steel Delacorte Press, 2007 Wow..! I must admit, being a big Danielle Steele fan, I have been disappointed in her last few books. But Amazing Grace is a real hit! I couldn't put it down! I read it in two days. She doesnt repeat herself all the time in this book as she does in previous books. It's solid story from cover to cover. I highly recommend the book!             DK Readers: Eruption -- The Story of Volcanoes (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone)1 review Anita Ganeri DK CHILDREN, 2001 Another hit! This is yet another great DK Reader. It has very intersting information on volcano's (a very intersting subject). Great for Level 2 readers to read alone, or for you to read with your 3-5 year old. My son & I enjoy reading it together and looking at the pictures. Who knew the land on the sides of volcano's was great for growing crops!!             The Hammer of Eden144 reviews Ken Follett Fawcett, 1999 Ken Follett - hammer of Eden A very interesting, and quite novel, approach to mystery writing. Ken Follet is one of my favorite authors who never fails to create interesting characters, establish great tension and suspense, and leave you with a few surprises. This was a very interesting read.             Night of the Howling Dogs5 reviews Graham Salisbury Wendy Lamb Books, 2007 A Page-turning Thriller Night of the Howling Dogs: A Page-turning Thriller In his newest novel, Night of the Howling Dogs, popular writer Graham Salisbury masterfully combines the atmosphere of superstition and spooky stories around the fire at Camp Halape, with Hawaiian tales and legends of the Big Island locale, and the almost spiritual setting (the mana of place so important in Hawaiian mythology) on the slope of ...             Escaping the Giant Wave29 reviews Peg Kehret Aladdin, 2004 Greatest Book of All Time My son is 9, and this is his review.....People who would like this book are people who like action. I like the book because it is about a brother and sister that go on a trip to Oregon. The parents go on a cruise, so the brother is watching the sister. Then an earthquake hits. It's very suspensful and a little scary. I could picture myself in this situation. It helped me see how good my life ...             Volcanoes (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)4 reviews Franklyn M. Branley Collins, 2008 Love this series, and Branley's are among the best! This book is a perfect introduction to volcanoes for K-2 level kids, and older kids or early readers may enjoy reading them alone. It is easy to understand and the illustrations are clear and nice-looking. Unlike some science books for kids, this series tends to be very readable, versus a drier text that may make some kids lose interest quickly.             Volcano & Earthquake (DK Eyewitness Books)4 reviews Susanna van Rose DK CHILDREN, 2008 I LOVE VOLCANOES AND EATHQUAKES THIS DK BOOK IS IN FIRST PLACE.
