Bitter Little Brother or Bad Big Sister?
I think the story is well written. I listened to it on audio and it kept my full attention the entire time. If the story is real, it hurts me that this man was taken advantage of so many times by Madonna. Timew and time agan, he does for Madonna. Not for money, but out of love...only to be taken advantage of. It just goes to show how many times we overlook things just because the person is ...

Excellent book - my daughter still likes it 2 years later
I bought this for my 17 month old toddler and she loved it and read it before and after the baby was born. I suggest this book to everyone I know who is having another child. My daughter still likes to read this book and my son is now 2 years old.

amazing first novel, good for a book club
I had no trouble "getting into" this book- I admit to skimming some of the explanations about the moths, but as I got farther into the book, I began to see the reason for the style. This book would be wonderful to discuss at a book club, particularly in "Great Book" discussion-style. I found myself making mental notes to go back to certain parts, and looked forward to re-reading it before I had ...

Best Book My Daughter Ever Read
My ten year old daughter knew nothing about this series when she first got this book. Once she started reading it, she thought it was exciting and adventurous. She couldn't put it down, and complained each night when she had to stop reading. She thought it was so great that she immediately bought the rest of the series, which are just as good. This quickly turned into her favorite book. In ...

I'm going to be a big sister
THis book is pretty cute. My daughter is 5 and liked it. She wanted me to change the names in the book to read her as the main character. This book tells about little things like small objects and toys to keep away from the baby and what the baby should play with and little details of how important the big sister is too. It also shows a little about how the baby is born.

It's realism captures the reader as you go through the lives of twin sisters enamored for the ...

Audre Lorde

Crossing Press, 2007

Incredible essays
No poems this time around, folks: prose that gets under your skin and into your head. The late, great Audre Lorde, known primarily for her poetry over the years, wrote what is one of the most compelling books on sociology, sexuality, racism and the nature of human character and existence in the last 20 years. Her charges are damning, but dashed with more than a spoonful of hope when ...

Tomorrow's Forefathers, 2002

Helpful and entertaining
I was loaned this book by a mother of eleven, so I thought it might be worth reading. The book is written by three homeschooling siblings: girl age 22, boy age 16, and girl age 12. They take turns writing on the same topic. The book is filled with humorous family stories which help to illustrate the points they are making. Their father illustrated the book, so there are plenty of homespun ...
