gorgeous
My five year old got a gift certificate for his birthday and - being rather fond of the penguins - picked out this gift box for himself. My first thought was, "Great! Another penguin." but then when we curled up together to read the story, I was quite delighted with his choice, and so was he. The illustrations are very good, the layout reveals the story very cleverly and, for a wonderful change, ...

A bumpy thrill ride you'll find difficult to put down!
Never knowing who will show up at your house or when can be a difficult way to go through life. Just ask thirteen-year-old Kat. At a very young age she became accustomed to the fact that visitors liked to come and go at very strange hours of the day and night. But these weren't your typical visitors. No, these visitors didn't include pesky relatives, obnoxious neighbors, or even surprise ...

Wow...
Everyone can get swept into being cool and 'fitting in', but Lily was blown over! Her parents are dreadfully boring. The rest of her family is no better, including a 'tapeworm' aunt who doesn't even eat her own wedding cake. But, there is hope (!), for the LeBlancs are somehow related to her boring-as-a-stick relatives. They are enviromentally-aware, vegetarians, and they have AMAZING ...

HarperCollins, 2006

A bit disappointing
I was (and still am) such a huge fan of the first Lily B. book (On the Brink of Cool) but this book was just rather disappointing. I could tell that the Author, Elizabeth Cody Kimmel, was trying to be funny and have the same charm as the first book, but it just wasn't there. The plot, in my opinion, was rather ordinary, nothing special, and there was no Lily B.-ish humor to help the book out. ...

Katie's Review
I thought this was one of the best books I have ever read. I have re-read it twice and the second time I read it it had taken me only two days. Now, I travel sometimes with my class and whenever we do I bring "In The Stone Circle." It had alot of description. I thought that the events that took place were very well thought out. I liked the part where the two girls, Christen and Miranda were ...
