Kamp Olympik
Don Bragg

AHLP Books, 2008

For the average pole vaulter, what could trump winning an Olympic gold medal? For 1960 gold medalist Don Bragg the answer was easy: open a camp where inner-city boys could have a taste of the great outdoors and play some vital scholastic catch-up. For ten years, Don and his wife Theresa treated hundreds of kids to such a program, ably abetted by a cast of characters that ranged from a talented and terrifying chef, through a score of pranksters ...

A Chance to Dare: The Don Bragg Story

Don Bragg, Patricia Doherty

Tarzan of Asphalt Jungle Makes Good
I picked up Chance To Dare before a cross-country flight. As I have never before read a sports biography, I plunged in with misgivings but was pleasantly surprised. My seat partner perhaps did not enjoy it as much, as his two broken ribs caused him to wince every time I shook with laughter. It wasn't the humor that hooked me, but rather the transparent character of Don Bragg. The chapters ...

American Girl, 2007

Major Disappointment
The booklet is nice but the art supplies included are barely enough for one small project. I would have been happy to pay $4 for the booklet but beyond that the value is not there. Furthermore, the art supplies included are not all the art supplies needed. So we were left to track down other supplies anyway.

Face of Evil
Ms. Doherty takes the reader into a comfortable suburb and then reveals a darker side to charm, ambition, and "good will." These suburbanites are typical community leaders and parishioners who reveal themselves, and are revealed, to be more complex and certainly more devious than expected. Murders occur and the unraveling of the crime is as surprising as the human personality itself. This ...

Patricia Lauber

A deep rumble like thunder as the houses begin to shake. People rush outside. The earth under them cracks open, crumbling and sliding into the sea. A tidal wave engulfs the harbor. One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded has struck Anchorage, Alaska. This exciting book tells about this recent earthquake and many others, and tells why they happened and may happen again. Most exciting of all, it explains the new theory of floating ...

Great fun for kids
I purchased this product for my daughter who is 11 because she loves origami and paper crafts. She was very happy with this gift and I am looking forward to more of her wonderful creations.
