They fund the venture ...             Time Windows45 reviews Kathryn Reiss Apple, 1994 Creative I've heard of "gentle readers" but this author is a "gentle writer". She has taken a subject that could be horrifying for kids and made it a "spooky adventure". When I was a little girl I had a metal dollhouse with little rubber people and hard plastic furniture. To me it was a mansion with soft contours and real life. As an adult I love the giant dollhouse at the Smithsonian and reading ...             Magic Tree House Boxed Set, Books 5-8: Night of the Ninjas, Afternoon on the Amazon, Sunset of the ...34 reviews Mary Pope Osborne Random House Books for Young Readers, 2002 Great books for young readers!

It is exhaustively detailed; so much so that you often feel as if the astronauts are telling their own stories in real time. For true fans of the Apollo era this is the comprehensive story of the greatest adventure man has ever undertaken.             Tonight On The Titanic (Magic Tree House 17, paper)48 reviews Mary Pope Osborne Random House Books for Young Readers, 1999 Fantastic Titanic - Joe Third Grader Magic Tree House has done it again!!

The book starts with the premise that the presenter must focus on the audience and that he must make them focus on him. He must understand the mental point they are at (Point A) and moves them to Point B. He ...             In the Time of Dinosaurs121 reviews Katherine Applegate Scholastic Paperbacks, 1998 Jordan at Richview Middle school This book starts out with a kid seeing a submarine crashing at the bottom of the ocean.

I enjoyed all his books, I have read all published books to date (Books 1-11) I say keep reading, even though sometimes Jordan rambles on, and such, even what some say is a Average/Poor book from his. It still is head and shoulders about all written Series save a hand full on equal par. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE VERY BAD NEWS, BUT ALSO GREAT NEW FOR WHEEL OF TIME READERS, AT LEAST WITH REGARDS TO HIS ...             Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation54 reviews Lewis Carroll Little Simon, 2003 Family Treasure I purchased this book because of the last page. I had seen it at my Book Club and knew my grandchildren would love it. They love peaking down the rabbits hole and finding the additional pop ups on each page. A book you will definately want to pass on down the family. Truly a classic come to life.             A Child's Christmas in Wales (New York Times Best Illustrated Books (Awards))24 reviews Dylan Thomas Candlewick, 2004 The voice If you have read A Child's Christmas in Wales, you know that it has to be a classic. But you can't fully appreciate it until you have heard Dylan Thomas read it. What a deep, expressive, poetic voice. For years, I have listened to the recording on a Caedman record. It is wonderful to have it on a CD.             Rise of the Wyrm Lord: The Door Within Trilogy - Book Two (The Door Within)33 reviews Wayne Thomas Batson Thomas Nelson, 2006 The Adventures of a Headstrong Girl Who Does Something Truly Brave or Truly Stupid or Possibly Both Mr. Batson takes another big risk in this sequel to The Door Within because he comes dangerously close to repeating the plot of the first novel, just with a girl hero instead of a boy. Fortunately, he avoids the error. Antoinnette Reed is in many ways following in the footsteps of Aidan Thomas but precisely because her path to belief and her personality is so different from Aidan's, her ...             Borrowed Time: An Aids Memoir23 reviews Paul Monette Avon Books, 1990 One of the best books ever. I don't know how this book didn't win every award the publishing world has to offer. Quite simply, this one volume is the most emotionally devastating work I've ever read. I've read about hate crimes, political assassination and Nazi persecution, but none touch this. Several times I had to set the book down because I was no longer able to read through great, racking sobs and eyes nearly ...             Legacy of Steel (Dragonlance Bridges of Time, Vol. 2)24 reviews Mary H. Herbert Wizards of the Coast, 1998 Absolutely Amazing! What a wonderful Book. I recieved it, and read it cover to cover all in the same day! I don't usually do that, but what a damn good book. This story is centered around Sara Dunstan, whom is still grieving over her adopted son Steel Brightblade three years after the summer of chaos. In the begining, she is living as a exile from the Knights of Tahkisis, and is pretty miserable. Then she starts ...             Magic Elizabeth23 reviews Norma Kassirer HarperTrophy, 1999 A perfect book I read this book over and over as a kid of eight or nine - it was an especially good book to curl up with when I was feeling lonely or blue. My dog-eared copy gave out finally, and I never could find another. Often I have been sad that I couldn't share some of the most beloved stories populating my imagination as a kid with my daughter. Imagine my joy when this lovely book came available again! ...             The Berenstain Bears and the Truth (Berenstain Bears First Time Chapter Books)26 reviews Stan Berenstain Topeka Bindery, 1999 what a whopper This was a great book. Sometimes you can tell your children something many times, and a book or children's show can suddenly make it click for them. Lots of good lessons here-- always tell the truth, lying breaks the trust between people, and lying makes things complicated and leads to more lies, i.e. When Brother & Sister are asked what happened for the second time, they can't exactly remember ...             Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On: Trusting God in the Tough Times30 reviews Stormie Omartian Harvest House Publishers, 1999 Hope for all life's trials I was in a very dark, depressed in my life when I picked up this book. Immediately, the dark began lifting and hope settled in. Since then, I have bought and given this book to over 30 people who were struggling with life's hurts, disappointments and tragedies. They too, were able to gain a greater hope from God who desires to be our strength and comfort through every aspect of life. I am right ...             Mom Management: Managing Mom Before Everybody Else26 reviews Tracy Lyn Moland Gift of Time, 2002 Common sense solutions for Moms -- and Mr. Moms! Ok, I'm not a Mom. But I'm married to a Mom, and I've been a stay-at-home Dad for the last two years. With four young children, I'm always amazed to turn around at the end of the day and see what a never-ending, often thankless job a Mom has. The family room gets cleaned up, but an hour later it looks like a toy store just exploded. There are new piles of laundry to do. There's always one ...             In Search of Lost Time Volume 2: Within a Budding Grove23 reviews Proust Random House (UK), 1996 PROUST: NEED ONE SAY MORE? . This is a great copy of Vol. 2 of A la recherche du temps perdu [In Search of Lost Time]. Each volume in the septrology may be read individually as an independent novel. This is, of course, the very best translation available in English; probably the very best that will ever be available in English: certainly the next best thing to reading the original French. NOTE: Proust is not ...             Dragon of the Red Dawn (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))30 reviews Mary Pope Osborne Random House Books for Young Readers, 2007 A fabulous addition to a wonderful series This wonderful adventure with a Japanese poet was added to our collection just in time. An article ran about him in National Geographic, and my eldest son would not have had a clue who he was if he had not read this book. I think it is delightful how Mary Pope Osborne uses these texts to expose children to places, ideas and situations that might not otherwise be accessible to them.
