Rapunzel: The One With All the Hair (Twice Upon a Time)

7 reviews
Wendy Mass

Topeka Bindery, 2006

The Brothers Grimm
Wendy Mass, as well as Gail Carson Levine, do something that the Brothers Grimm forgot: they give all of the characters names and porpuses. In the Brothers Grimm tales, we have no idea what the other character's (most often the prince) life was, which would have added better understanding to the story. I highly recommend the works of both Wendy Mass and Gail Carson Levine, for giving the second ...

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Great characters and a fantastic science connection!
I often feel sorry for people who don't read good books; they are missing a chance to lead an extra life. ~ Scott Corbett ~ When I think about why my favorite books are my favorites, Scott Corbett's sentiments ring true. So many of them involve real-life places I've never been or fantasy worlds that I long to visit. And some introduce me to worlds that I haven't ...

Lucent Books, 1998

The fascinating story of the construction of Stonehenge
The average visitor to Stonehenge stays at the World Heritage Site for thirty minutes: just enough time to snap a few pictures and buy a postcard at the visitors center and gift shop. Most tourists skip the local museums in Salisbury and nearby Devizes where they could actually learn about the history of the site and the people who inhabited the region way back when. Conservation efforts have ...

Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall

Heaven can come in many forms and maybe even a mall
I just finished reading "Heaven Looks a Lot like The Mall" and it was very funny. I liked how you learned about everything that she had brought in the mall and that it had a special purpose. Like the light blue prom dress, everything had a meaning. Well I hope Heaven does look like the mall cause I could wear stuff thats like a 24,000 fur coat from Saks and never have to pay for it. But I think ...

Wow Wendy mass!
Mia has always seen colors; she See's them for Letters, sounds, and numbers. She hasn't told anyone since the 3rd grade "Freeeek" incident. She tell her parents and they take her to the Doctor she finds out that she isn't the only person like that. It's a great self-discovery book. Bitter-sweet, with humor and reality all wrapped into one. I can't wait to read Wendy Mass' other books. ...

Leap Day

Wendy Mass

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Awesome novel
Leap Day, a follow-up to Wendy Mass' A Mango-Shaped Place, is equally as fun and unique as its predecessor. Leap Day follows Josie on her 16th birthdy, but since she was born on 2/29, it's only the fourth time she has celebrated her birthday on the actual day she was born. This book's unique format is such a cool idea - Josie narrates through her day for one chapter, and after that, the chapter ...

Twice Upon a Time, No. 2: Sleeping Beauty, the One Who Took the Really Long Nap (Twice Upon a Time)

5 reviews

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
"I already know the story of Sleeping Beauty." you say to yourself. "Do I really need to read it again?" you ask. Well, let me help you out a little bit. First, talking to yourself is a completely normal activity; you're not crazy. (Actually, I can't say that for sure, since I don't know you. That, however, is beside the point. Let's just say that talking to yourself is not the deciding factor ...

Enslow Elementary, 2004

Just the Facts Please
I read this book today for a history report. I thought this book would give me a lot of information about John Cabot but I was wrong. It only tells you all the things that we do not know about him, like where and when he was born and where he lived. It tells that no one knows for sure where he sailed and when and where and how he died. I wrote that in my report and I got a C-. That is the ...
