Boy, why are crying?
"Why can't you fly now mother?" "Because I am grown up, dearest. When people grow up they forget the way." "Why do they forget the way?" "Because they are no longer gay and innocent and heartless. It is only the gay and innocent and heartless who can fly." Wendy to her daughter Jane If you think this is simply a children's book, and that as an adult you should just ignore it, well, then you're ...

For the "very special" shelf
I have a soft spot for time-travel books and have read a fair few. This one will go right to my "very special" shelf of YA books, alongside "The Dark is Rising" (which is actually better than this, but it's better than just about anything!). I read a borrowed copy in one gulp, and now I'm ordering my own. Looking through the reader reviews, I didn't notice anyone linking this to the "Dark is ...

When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason's Philosophy for Today

Crossway Books, 2004

Theory Meets Practice
This is a great book for those who are at least somewhat familiar with the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason and want to see how it looks in the home or school classroom. For those not familiar with Mason, I recommend For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (also a contributing author in this book.)

Aladdin, 1999

4th volume of THE DARK IS RISING Sequence
"...Those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun...at the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often indeed. But in the ...

The Dark is Rising (Boxed Set)
I had forgotten how great these books by Susan Cooper are. I had a hard copy book set when they first came out. I love stories about the quest, and the battle of Light vs Darkness, and The Arthurian legend. They also fit into the Narnia Chronicle mode too. Susan writes with a descriptive style that makes you feel like you are right there experiencing Will Stanton's Adventures and the Drew ...

Their great-uncle Merry, aka Merriman Lyon, has arranged for them to stay in the house of an old sea captain who is away for the season.

Don't judge these books by the movie !!!
This series of books (especially, The Dark is Rising) is one of my favorites. The recent movie, The Seeker, based on The Dark is Rising, did not do the book justice. The moviemakers attempt to modernize the story, take out some of the mythological aspects, and add in some teenage angst trivialized the character of Will Stanton (the Seeker of the Signs), whose appeal is in part based on his dual ...

Boggart and the Monster
Boggart and the monster Boggart and the monster written by Susan Cooper is a sensational book about a boy and his sister helping a ghostly figure called a boggart find family. I enjoyed this book because it "hooks you" in right at the start with the story of Nessie's past. I also enjoyed it because it goes so steady throughout with ...

Wonderful, wonderful series
This series is my son's absolute FAVORITE. He's 8 and I recently decided to introduce him to the books, and he ate them up. He said he likes how the bad people aren't always perfect, and he likes the way the Drew siblings work together in OVER SEA, UNDER STONE and again in GREENWICH and SILVER ON THE TREE. I'm pretty sure that he didn't understand all the symbolism in THE DARK IS RISING, though ...

Greenwitch
Greenwitch is the third in the superb Dark Is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper. Shorter than the others in the series, it brings together the Drew Children, Simon, Jane and Barney, encountered in Over Sea Under Stone. And Will Stanton from The Dark Is Rising. We're back in Cornwall for this particular adventure, and as always, Susan Cooper portrays her setting with her usual attention to ...

Susan Rogers Cooper Does It Again!
It's been seven years since Susan Rogers Cooper (and the rest of us) visited E.J Pugh; wife, mother of three, romance novelist, and sleuth. Was "Romanced To Death", the new E.J. Pugh mystery worth the wait? You better believe it! The book follows E.J. to the American Romance Writers Association convention in Austin, TX, where she almost immediately is embroiled in murder, mayhem, and catty ...

compelling tale
I've been looking for a good "chapter book" to read to my two boys ages 5 and 7. This was perfect. It took three sessions to finish, with them always asking, "One more chapter? Please Mom?" The pace was fast, with something always leaving them on the edge, wondering what would happen next. The resolutions were believable and for the most part non-magical, with the nameless "Boy" as the hero. ...

Worth the money
I bought this book and read some every night for about 2 1/2 weeks and was a little nervous about taking the CLEP - Principles of Management. The proctor mentioned that this exam was very intense and most don't pass it. I didn't leave myself time to review any sample tests at the end of the book and was very happy with the results. I was able to pass the CLEP exam with nothing more than ...

Great recipes
I'm giving this dog cookbook the full 5 stars, even though I'm getting rather sick of books "written" by people's pets. The photographs are worth the price alone, but the recipes are fabulous and healthful. There's also a Table of Equivalents included in the back. There are also marvelous quotations sprinkled throughout of famous people's feelings about dogs. I'm giving this book as a gift, ...

Changed My Life
Reading the last sentence of this book 24 years ago changed my life. BOYCOTT the travesty that is the Dark Is Rising film. Keep the pure elements of Cooper alive. The amazing tale she spun, weaving in elements of Celtic/Welsh mythology into a modern narrative leaves me shaking today. This book made me who I am today. I will not stand by and watch it raped and pillaged. READ the BOOK and BOYCOTT ...
