Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

J. K. Rowling

Demco Media, 1998

Anniversary Edition nice but not essential.
In today's economy, customers buying books need to know exactly what they're buying. In this case, what your thirty bucks buys is -- apart from the previously published text (the novel itself) and the previously published art (interior art) -- is, essentially, a new cover by longtime Harry Potter cover artist Mary GrandPre, and a black-and-white illustration by Rowling (quite the cartoonist!), ...

Redeeming Love

Francine Rivers

Multnomah Books, 2001

Not your average romance
First I have to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. Francine Rivers is an amazing Christian writer. She is not preachy at all (and if you think she is then please don't read anybody like Lori Wick!). 2nd- This is a GRAPHIC book. It's not for young readers. Just because it's Christian doesn't mean it's light hearted! This is a tough book to get through! There are some ...

Oxford University Press, 1984

Modern Classic for Young Adult Fantasy Readers
A tale of growing up and acceptance with a strong female lead who shows, without being ultra feminist, that girls can accomplish anything that boys can.

Many young girls dream of having a fairy tale life just like the ones that appear in Disney movies such as Cinderella, but what happens when these girls grow into young ladies and expect a little more than your usual fairy tale? In her novel Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine adds a whole new twist to the familiar story of Cinderella. With the use of point of view, characterizations and themes, ...

Homer Hickam

Dell, 1999

Amazing True Story
Homer Hickam grew up in a rural isolated mountain town but went on to win the National Science Fair. This book is his story and how he was successful. I bought 24 copies of this book to inspire my advanced 6th grade Reading class. They loved the book. In our discussions they mentioned never giving up. Homer and his friends kept trying until they had success. Thank you for sharing your ...

Harry Potter 3 and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Adult Edition

Joanne K. Rowling

Bloomsbury Publishing Inc, 2004

The series truly begins.
I love Prisoner of Azkaban. I think that this was the novel that really hooked me into the series. I have a hard time writing a literary review of any of the Rowling novels mainly because I do not feel like I'm reading a novel when I read these books, I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm transported into another world and forget to look at the subtext or deeply analyze anything that the writer is ...

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches (Keeper Martin's Tales Series, Book 1)

Robert Stanek

Reagent Press, 2002

Good But Continue on to the other books
I first read The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches as a ninth grader and remember loving it. I then continued on to books 2, 3, and 4, which were excellent. I decided to re-read The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books this summer since I found I had forgotten the majority of the story. After re-reading it now as a college freshman, I enjoyed it even more. Clearly it's a remarkable ...

Larry McMurtry

Demco Media, 1986

Wow!
Now that was a good book. Larry McMurtry is an amazing writer, so whitty. I fell in love with the characters; so much that it's been weeks since I read the book and I still can't stop thinking about them.

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide

Douglas Adams

Wings, 1996

In one word, great.
I am going to make this simple. I read an old paperback copy of the original "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Having enjoyed reading the original, I found the "Ultimate" version in the discount section at Barnes and Noble. What a great buy for ten dollars. Not all may like the series. For those that do, I highly recommend all additional books to the original. You will not be let down, as ...

Colin Channer

One World/Ballantine, 1998

An Amazing Literary Journey That Took My Breath Away
Colin Channer to me is like a modern day Picasso with a pen. His dialogue is compelling, soul-stirring and purposeful and his characters are engaging. You can almost close your eyes and imagine yourself seeing the story unfold as if you were a fly on the wall at a gallery in New York, a beach house in Jamaica, or the Streets of London. This is the mark of a truly great storyteller. Our main ...

Nancy Farmer

Simon Pulse, 2004

Amazing book for even the most conservative readers
This book is simply amazing--fluidly well told, with none of the typical "coming of age" tawdry sexualization, no offensive language, just an interesting take on contemporary issues. The realistic characters and well-paced story make this book worthy of all the awards it garnered. Buy your kid this book--then read it yourself!
