This book has the right personal touch. The emotion and the action bring the reader back to a time when we fought wars the right way. Integrity and courage are abound. Join one mans quest to find his uncles past, and uncover the story behind one of the best world war II submarines to sail the south pacific. From enlisted to Officer this book covers it ...             Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jar12 reviews Mitsumasa Anno Philomel, 1983 A lovely book on counting and factorials This picture book is easy to read, and presents two math concepts: the first is counting to ten. The second is factorials: If there are three kingdoms in two countries on one island, then how many kingdoms are there altogether? Imagining some of the silly scenes (there are how many cupboards in how many rooms?) is a delight. This book -- or at least the last half of it -- is best for ...             The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma35 reviews Trenton Lee Stewart Listening Library (Audio), 2009 Awesome, cool, great! (My son's opinion) This is a great book. My son read the first in the series and handed it to me saying "You really need to read this book, mom." I love to read so I took the book, thinking it was a 'kids' book and wouldn't really keep my interest, but I was pleasantly surprised. When he requested the second, which he read in only a few days I read that too. And now the third one has come and gone. My son is 13 and ...             Photo/Stoner: The Rise, Fall, and Mysterious Disappearance of Surfing's Greatest Photographer17 reviews Matt Warshaw Chronicle Books, 2006 Wave After Wave (In The Ocean of Emotion) There are people in this world...maybe you know a few of them...maybe you are one of them...who don't really seem to fit in with things of this world. They are driven by maddness or inspiration or both and bring forth things to this world that can never be replicated. Such is the art of Ron Stoner. I call his photography art because that is exactly what it is. It captures more than a sport ...             The Mysterious Tadpole19 reviews Steven Kellogg Puffin, 2004 sweet story with a hint of fantasy I had checked this out from the library for my 5 year old son. He loved it so much I bought it and another book by this author. It is funny and the illustrations are great. The ending is great and creates another dilema to be solved but this time it ignites the child's imagination.             Fushigi Yugi the Mysterious Play: Priestess (Fushigi Yugi; The Mysterious Play (Sagebrush))84 reviews Yuu Watase San Val, 2003 an amazing story This story is one of the best vols I have read, in the begining miaka and her friend yui are like sucked into this book that they find in the library at the restricted area,there they land in this mysterious world and there they meet some bandits that want some trouble and this vewry tall handsome man shows just in time to rescue miaka and yui, very very cute guy!! and there they are transported ...             Disciple (Fushigi Yugi the Mysterious Play)24 reviews Yuu Watase Turtleback Books: A Division of Sanval, 2004 My favorite in the series so far. Some good news to fans- a new celeestial warrior appears, Chichiri. He trained under the watchful eye of Tai-Yi Jun { I can just imagine spending three years with her... that face -_-}. And because of that, he learned some cool moves like how to freeze people {no da! ^-^}. And a turning-point character shows up- Yui, Miaka's best friend. She has a thing for the celestial warrior Tamahome. ...             Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jar12 reviews Masaichiro Anno, Mitsumasa Anno Demco Media, 1999 A lovely book on counting and factorials This picture book is easy to read, and presents two math concepts: the first is counting to ten. The second is factorials: If there are three kingdoms in two countries on one island, then how many kingdoms are there altogether?

The book was so informative. I learned a lot about how Rickyy Tims got his start in quilting. The convergence quilt is so easy to do. My finished products came out beautiful.I did 2 quilts back to back. You can do so much with just 2 pieces of fabric or mlad that I am so glad I purchased the book on convergence quilts.             Slow Dollar (Deborah Knott Mysteries)19 reviews Margaret Maron Mysterious Press, 2002 An enjoyable modern cozy Cozy mysteries are really of two types: Novels in the traditional cozy style whose main emphasis is a mystery and its resolution (e.g., Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers) and novels in the more modern cozy format, whose main emphasis is on social interactions (primarily between family, friends, and coworkers) with the mystery being a smaller component of the exposition. This is definitely a cozy ...             Mysterious Mew (Pokémon Adventures, Issue 1)10 reviews Hidenori Kusaka Topeka Bindery, 1999 These are brilliantly done Pokemon Adventures is probably the best vision of the concept that's sponsored by Nintendo. For the record, I recommend buying these in the graphic novel format. This is a great series. It's a more mature story that isn't exclusively aimed at kids like the cartoon or the other comic. There are elements in these stories that will appeal to all ages. Red and Blue, instead of being a couple of ...             Castaway (Fushigi Yugi; The Mysterious Play (Sagebrush))10 reviews Yu Watase Rebound by Sagebrush, 2002 very good, although you might need tissues The ceremony to summon Suzaku has been ruined, but Miaka and the Celestial Warriors of Suzaku have been given a new way to summon the god. Before they go, Miaka and Tamahome have to deal with some devestating news that will keep them from being with one another. Also, Suboshi wants revenge for his twin borther Amiboshi's death, and Tamahome is the one to suffer. I won't say what happens, but I ...             Bandit (Fushigi Yugi the Mysterious Play)10 reviews Yuu Watase Tandem Library, 2001 One of the Best Graphic Novels I've Ever Read... Fushigi Yugi is about a bouncy eighth grade girl named Miaka. She's just a regular junior high school girl trying to get through exams, but one day she goes inside a restricted library and opens up a book called The Universe of the Four Gods. She gets transported inside the book and finds herself in Ancient China. She had to get out of the book, so she has to find the seven oracles. On her ...             Good Morning, Darkness9 reviews Ruth Francisco Mysterious Press, 2004 Dream-like, poetic, dark Ruth Francisco's books are works of art, something we don't see much of in this day and age. Although this book is primarily about Laura Finnegan, we really don't know anything much about her - except that everyone who meets her loves her, often to the point of obsession. When she disappears, it turns everyone's lives upside-down - and then two dismembered arms wash up on the beach, and some ...             Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse (Morgan Horse series)10 reviews Ellen F. Feld Willow Bend Publishing, 2007 Mellin, Mysteries, and Morgans! I had flashbacks to "Black Beauty" while reading this book, due to the all-too real uncertainties that can happen when horses change hands. There are several other parallels -- a scary barn fire, abusive handling, and a black gelding and chestnut mare reunited! Happily, "Annie" has a much more satisfying ending. Writer Ellen Feld tells the story with a familiarity borne of those who have shown ...             The Ghost Who Would Not Die: A Runaway Slave, A Brutal Murder, A Mysterious Haunting9 reviews Hampton Roads Pub Co, 2008 This book is now my absolute favorite read! This book is written from such a fantastic perspective, a deeper look into the life and death of a former slave who lives through many ups and downs. The roller coaster continues after death, nothing ends, and the continued journey is an absolute eye opener. If you have ever wondered just what happens after your body dies, this is the perfect book for you to read. The information on life on the ...             Nerve11 reviews The Mysterious Bookshop, 1990 Rob Finn - one of my favorite Francis protagonists! Dick Francis has written so many bestselling mysteries, it's mindboggling. He excels in crafting enormously engaging, civilized whodunits, which go down smooth as cognac. Mr. Francis has a habit of introducing elements from the racing world into his novels (for those not in the know, Francis used to be a jockey). Yes, it's true that his heroes all come from the same mold and the stories do ...             Paramedic to the Prince: A paramedic's account of life inside the mysterious world of the Kingdom of Saudi ...12 reviews Patrick (Tom) Notestine PublishAmerica, 2007 Refreshing ! An wonderful way to spend a weekend Mr. Tom did a great job ! I was bewitched by this book. Just like being around a camp fire and listening to someone's amazing memories. The tone is calm and down on earth. Simple language describing a complicated life, a trip in time. From the 1500's to the 2000's. Domestic life and public. Political life and the way people deal with two totally different concepts of living.
