The story is something we've all dealt with at one time or another and the solution is ...             Ballerina Dreams5 reviews Lauren Thompson, Joann Ferrara Feiwel & Friends, 2007 Amazing :-) What a stunning book in so many ways. It's touching and moving and beautifully put together. These little girls should be inspiration for everyone. When you're faced with a seemingly impossible task, you should take note of these little ones with physical disabilities and what they can do and nothing will seem impossible again. It's a book for people of all ages, and it really focuses on your ...             Get Well Soon7 reviews Julie Halpern Feiwel & Friends, 2007 Teens will love this I really loved this book. The story is not at all what you'd expect from a book about a teenager hospitalized for depression. Halpern doesn't shy away from the darkness that got Ana there in the first place, but this is all tempered by the character's hilarious and witty voice. I enjoyed the crazy cast of characters Ana encounters, and although I haven't been in a situation like hers, the story ...             Home of the Brave5 reviews Katherine Applegate Feiwel & Friends, 2007 A moving middle grade novel about immigration and arrival Having been an arrival to this country at age 12, I've always been interested in books that explore questions such as "What is home?" "What does it mean to be a stranger in a new land?" and "How does one begin to belong?" A novel written in free verse, Home of the Brave is a poignant story about an African war refugee from Sudan named Kek who arrives in the US in the thick of winter in--of ...             For Boys Only: The Biggest, Baddest Book Ever7 reviews Marc Aronson, HP Newquist Feiwel & Friends, 2007 Hands-down the best of the "boy" books! How to make fake blood, how to make a bow and arrow (gulp), and clever card tricks are a few of the things my 8-year-old son has brought up at the dinner table since receiving this as a holiday gift. Some of his friends got it too, and it's fun to overhear them discussing it. In addition to the fun stuff, there's good, meaty info, like US presidents and state capitals, etc. There are a ton of ...             Long Live the Queen21 reviews Ellen Emerson White Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Eagerly awaiting the next book... I think I first read this book back in middle school, in the late 80's; and immediately bought The Presidents Daughter so I could read that too. I'm now 29, and after a LONG search, have FINALLY recovered an original copy of White House Autumn to complete the trilogy. Wonderful writing, who could not love Meg and her family? And I find as I get older, each time I re-read I manage to pick up ...             On the Night You Were Born84 reviews Nancy Tillman Feiwel & Friends, 2006 Charming book I have purchased this book several times for new parents and they have all loved it. The pictures are lovely and the words flow nicely. Very nice book to read aloud, starting when the baby can sit on your lap and listen. I predict you will love it if you buy it!             The President's Daughter28 reviews Ellen Emerson White Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Fabulous Young Adult Fiction...for Grownups I first read the first two books when I was in high school...in the 80s. I enjoyed them then, and sorely regret loaning them to a younger cousin when I got to college and was ostensibly 'too old' for them. My local bookstore didn't carry "God Save the Queen," so I've never read that one. I'm 36 now, and I've read one heckuva lot of books. But two of that stay with me are "The President's ...             Six Innings7 reviews James Preller Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Major league quality -- a real talent Six Innings by James Preller is just that, the play by play description of six innings of a Little League baseball game. All of our nation's obsession with the sanctity of the game is concentrated in this afternoon of play by two teams of boys. The book opens in Sam Reiser's bedroom, where he is lying in bed, a young amputee now only able to announce his team's play, to speak the words for ...             Bloom! A Little Book About Finding Love6 reviews Maria van Lieshout Feiwel & Friends, 2007 A multi-leveled classic Bloom! is one of those rare children's books that works on so many levels that adults are bound to love it, too. Maria van Lieshout has created an adorable and enduring character in Bloom, the little pig who doesn't see love when it is right in front of her snout. Children will love this book for the simple, elegant art work and will identify with the raw emotions the main character ...             Dodger and Me1 review Jordan Sonnenblick Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Humor with Heart Hilarious! An insecure boy, his new friend (a large blue chimp named Dodger), and lots of adventure and baseball. Readers of all ages will appreciate Dodger's surfer accent (very funny to read aloud). If your young reader is too old for Captain Underpants and is reading longer books, this is perfect. It's not easy to find funny books with a great story, and this one delivers. Can't wait for the ...             The Poison Apples6 reviews Lily Archer Feiwel & Friends, 2007 smart, funny and right-on I wish this book had been on my shelf when I was fourteen -- we need more smart books about smart girls coping with adolescence. The book opens with the story of how each of three friends -- Molly, Reena and Alice -- ended up at a boarding school in Massachusetts. Each tale revolves around a father's second marriage, and a step-mother who turns out to be a raging terror. I might think the ...             Go Girl! #2: The Worst Gymnast (Go Girl!)1 review Thalia Kalkipsakis Feiwel & Friends, 2007 Excellent Beginner Chapter Books for Girls A wonderful series of books that encourages children to expand reading and realte to the rich characters.             The Cat on the Mat Is Flat2 reviews Andy Griffiths Feiwel & Friends, 2007 Awesome books for dads to read to the kids Think Dr. Seuss with revenge. If you like goody-goody and predictable endings, this is not for you. The cat attacks the mouse, who strikes back. Dr. Seuss style rhyiming, with a crazy plot line in each short story. Kids will be giggling the whole time, assuming dad can keep a straight face in order to get through it. My kids ages 4-7 LOVED it, begged for it to be read every night for 2 ...             For Girls Only: Everything Great About Being a Girl1 review Laura Dower Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Girls only . . . is gr8! I got this book a few weeks ago. I loved it!I really enjoy the laura dower books. When I was nine and ten, I read the Madison Finn series. I loved the authors creative test and her style of writing. I was phsyched when I heard she was writing this book. ABOUT THE BOOK This book is informative, but at the same time, fun! I am always surprised at whats on the next page.I never get tired of ...             Dog Gone3 reviews Cynthia Chapman Willis Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Heartwarming This is a wonderfully written story about the love of a dog by a girl who has just undergone a tragic life experience with the loss of her mother. Very insightful with a happy ending ! A perfect life experience for those 9-13 year olds who are the target audience of this new author. I would definitely recommend this book !             A Horse of Her Own4 reviews Annie Wedekind Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Would recommend to my friends The story has good drama and you often wonder what's coming next. I liked the inside jokes and humor too and the relationship Jane has with her sister and with Robin. I liked the descriptions of the courses, which were really accurate and fun. The ending is also really good.             White House Autumn7 reviews Ellen Emerson White Feiwel & Friends, 2008 Great sequel to a great novel. Like its predecessor, I found myself unable to put the book down until I had read the very last page. I stayed up until 5 in the morning to finish it, and it was worth every minute (good thing I didn't have work the next day). Not as light as The President's Daughter, the first book in the trilogy, White House Autumn is bit more depressing and a bit more adult as it tells what happens to Meg ...             The Shy Creatures4 reviews David Mack Feiwel & Friends, 2007 Sure To Be Your Child's Favorite! Originally tucked inside David Mack's long running comic book master piece, Kabuki, The Shy Creatures is presented here in its entirety in this beautiful children's hardcover.

And you would be absolutely correct. With the help of her goal-oriented parents, who have predicted which Ivy League school their daughter will attend by naming her after it, Vassar Spore has a plan, both in school and out, that will set her for life.
