after 20 years, still a good read!
There are some books that you don't grow out of. "Superfudge", "The Kid Next Door (and other headaches)", and this, "Babysitting...". I hadn't looked at it in years, indeed, at least 18, and upon reading the first paragraph had a completely forgotten memory revealed to me - the fact that I used to read aloud to myself all the time, and when I read the first couple of paragraphs my lips knew the ...

Left Behind
When I write a review of a children's book I have to be very careful that I don't let my preconceptions of that book's author color my reading of their newest work. When I read Polly Horvath, I can't assume that it's going to contain parentless children and when I read Kate DiCamillo I can't assume that it's going to feature an animal of some sort. And when I read Willo Davis Roberts I must try ...

Highly recommended for extremely gifted children 6 & up
This book was written in 1980, but I read it for the first time eleven years later. Honestly, I picked it up because of the cover. *g* I was on a paranormal kick after having read Anne McCaffery's To Ride a Pegasus and Pegasus in Flight (both good books, but the second is great) and though it looked like typcial Apple Paperback fare, I figured it was worth giving a shot. First, what the book ...

The greatest mystery book ever!!!!
I personally thought that this book was a great mystery book. The main character in this book is Amanda Jane Keeling. But ever since she was two, her name was Rebel. For when she was just a little baby, and such a stubborn baby she was, she would scream and cry until she got what she wanted. This book begins when she has to go to her grandmother's house while her parents go to Europe. Along the ...
