engulfing sense of fantastic reality
So few times has a book taken us to another place, that when it happens it seems stick with you for the rest of your life. This has been the case with myself. The imagery so touches you that when you recall the book, you feel as if it where one of your memories. I first read the original trilogy in 1988, first intreged by the title, and still haven't forgotten every event in each of the 6 ...

Learn to Design from the Top Down
I love buying craft books, especially knitting books. Anyone who purchases books from Amazon will eventually receive an email asking them to write a review. In the past, I've only written two reviews. I wanted to warn people about two books I returned the same day I received them in the mail. Well, this is my third book review. Wendy has written a book about sweater design that is interesting to ...

Fun story with a great message!
I discovered this book when one of my students brought it to me. It is the right combination of cute illustrations, slightly irreverent writing, and a simple but terrific message about going beyond your usual routine and what that might bring. It's great for kids of all ages!

Sturdy and Engaging with a Fun Twist
Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby This is a wonderfully designed book. The touchable ladybugs make it engaging for toddlers, while preschoolers will appreciate the clever story. At first it seems like the book has a dark side - with various creatures gobbling up the ladybugs - but the sweet twist ending shows all the ladybugs are safe after all. I have two ...

one year old knows the sport thanks to this book
I bought this book for my husband to read to our [..] son. It's been a year since we've been reading it and now whenever we get the book out, Ben has to run and get his mini "zamboni tractor" and mini hockey stick that we bought him separately. He holds them tight and at each page he points and repeats hockey terminology. Even when we're not reading the book, the terms stick with him. At about ...

The author has personal experience in this situation. She tried AA and like many people when she kept relapsing she blamed herself for somehow failing the program. This pattern changed when the author found a program that suited her ...

Dylan's back!
Quickly becoming one of the most iconic characters in Christian fiction, Dylan Foster's back for battling with the demonic Peter Terry in The Soul Hunter, Melanie Wells's sequel to When the Day of Evil Comes--an equally hillarious novel. Wells's prose is sharp, sassy, and as easy to read as a writer could ever be. Dylan is so realistic and believable that one begins to wonder where author ends ...

Thoroughly Enjoyable!
Intricately woven tale, beautifully written. Ms. Souther's use of the language transports the reader with graphic description of mythical locales. Once started, it was hard to put down. A refreshing view of the constant need for balance in the world. Looking forward Volume 2.
