The Emerald City of Oz (Books of Wonder)24 reviews
L. Frank Baum
HarperCollins, 1993
Friendship, courage and adventure!
+ Excellent book series for kids
+ "Wad up wit it Vanilla Face!!"
As a little girl, I read this book **at least** 20 times! The friendship of Dorothy, Ozma, the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and all the others truly shines here, as they face great danger together with love and courage. The tour of Oz is so much fun, and the ...

The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3)877 reviews
Philip Pullman
Laurel Leaf, 2003
good audio book
interesting story with a full cast of voices. Pullman takes a long time to finish up the narrative, but it's probably necessary. no bad music in this volume, but the poetry at the beginning of each chapter is hard to get when read quickly out loud. it adds nothing to this audio version. that ...

I tutor/consult home school families. One 7th grader has had difficulty focusing on reading due to a reading disability. I purchased the dvd recording of the Redwall book to introduce him to a way to follow the book while listening to the dvd. He loves it! It is no longer a struggle for his mom ...

My admiration for Anne McCaffrey knows no bounds. I think she has created some wonderful fiction. I credit her Harper Hall series with fostering a great love of reading and music in me at a very young age. I found the first book DragonSong at the library when I was about eleven or twelve and ...

Madeleine L'Engle
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1962
The battle between good and evil.
I have often heard people comment about how good this book is, but I've never taken the time to read it before now. I can't say that I was mislead. This is a highly imaginative tale of good vs. evil, told from the point of view of young Meg Murry. Meg is smart but rebellious, fiercely protective ...

+ Magically Adventure Tale for Both Children and Adults (A Grade)
+ Lyra's Adventures Detail Brilliant Writing Despite Controversy
I saw the film before reading the book, and let me tell you the book was better.
Although I knew before hand much of the plot, Pullman's prose, style and characters came vividly to life making the read worthwhile. Although "The Golden Compass," has a child as the main character, it has parts that ...
