Rex 2: Time Soldiers Book #2 (Time Soldiers) 3 reviews
Kathleen Duey
Big Guy Books, 2003
Great book for boys!
My boys love this book and the first Rex book. They are waiting for the rest of the books. They have read the two they have many times over and can't wait to get more. I have been very dissapointed that I can't find the rest of the series for them. I hope they appear soon. What a great way for kids to learn and to get them reading. A mom of three

My daughter loved this series
My daughter is 7 (almost 8), and she loved this series. She'd finish one, and couldn't wait to start the next. You should start with the first book in the series (Moonsilver), and read them in order so they make sense.

Good Book
This is the best book I have ever read. It is really short and easy. If you buy this book you should get the rest of the books in this series, too.

great for reading at bedtime
This is a great story (#2 in the series) to read to your kids at bedtime - not too scary and has a few illustrations to keep the kids interested. We're looking forward to the next one.

True Heart 1 review
Kathleen Duey
Aladdin, 2003
I liked it a lot!
True Heart is about when Tibs and Heart go looking for Joseph Laquier. Tibs wants to see him so his dream can come true. Tibs wants to be a blacksmith. Heart wants the unicorns to be safe. Joseph Laquier makes some armour for Moonsilver. I think True Heart is one of the best books I have ever read. READ THIS BOOK!

The Journey Home (Ready-for-Chapters)4 reviews
Kathleen Duey
Aladdin, 2003
Excellent series!
These books are really great stories for children who have big imaginations. They are well-written and exciting without being inappropriate for audiences of 5-9 years. There really is a "secret" revealed in this last book. It is a must-read for anyone who has read the others in the series!

The Sunset Gates
Kathleen Duey
Aladdin, 2002
Heart must find her family and a safe haven for the unicorns. A drawing in the book from Dunraven's castle shows the same unicorn design as her foundling blanket! Perhaps the book tells more about her family -- but she cannot read it. Searching for a teacher, she finds a blacksmith whose family forge was made by unicorn magic. His old records show that his grandfather made giant iron gates using the same design. If Heart can find those gates ...

Silence and Lily: 1773 (Hoofbeats)1 review
Kathleen Duey
Puffin, 2007
A mix of equestrianism and history that takes you on one wild ride after another!
The year is 1773. While things should be peachy keen in Boston, all is not well. The British - namely, King George - and the colonists are not happy with one another, and tensions are heating up with each passing moment. Twelve-year-old Silence would love to have the ability to simply discard the growing anger in her friends and neighbors, and spend each and every waking moment with her family's ...

Skin Hunger (A Resurrection of Magic) 9 reviews
Kathleen Duey
Simon Pulse, 2008
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Despite what the cover may say, Kathleen Duey's SKIN HUNGER, first installment of her fantasy trilogy A RESURRECTION OF MAGIC, is not a novel. It's a third of a novel. Or maybe it's two novels. Maybe it's a sixth. But anyway you slice the cake, it's not enough.
The book alternates chapters narrated by Sadima, a farm girl, and Hahp, a second born son of a cruel merchant. The catch is that they ...

One Happy Grandma
I was shown this book by a family member just before my grandchildren came to visit from across the country. My grandson is 6 years old and had not yet entered the first grade. All it took was a look at the cover and he was into it. He studied each of the pages and turned to me with a desperate voice (while holding my face with his hands and making me look into his eyes)"TEACH ME TO READ ...

Rave Review!
There's not another pirate book out there like this! The illustrations are all absolutely gorgeous photographs. My seven year old son will lie on the floor for hours just staring at the pictures and reading the story over and over. His dad doesn't mind having to read it to him every night because he likes it too! I have to say that part of the reason I'm excited about this book is that it is ...
