Shiver me timbers, buy this book!
My oldest started with this series at 2, he will be 3 soon. He asks to be read at least one of these books daily. He insists on being Pirate Pete for Halloween and Mardi Gras. The stories are cute and he looks through his hand like a spyglass when looking for the Seafairy Sapphire in the Giant Adventure title. He is always engrossed in every page. The illustrations are gorgeous. We can ...

Another great book by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
After reading The Relic and Brimstone (both books by Preston and Child and with the fictionilized character Pendergast) I decided to read something different. Believe me, this is probably one of the best books I have ever read. A true adventure. You will not be able to put it down until you have finished reading.

Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

Thought-provoking and challenging work
I purchased this in hardcover as soon as it came out, and when I received my Kindle I purchased it again so I'd have it handy. Simply put...this is an outstanding work. Meticulously researched yet written in an approachable style, Goldberg makes an effective argument. I found some of the themes challenging, particularly since I had to "unlearn" a number of things I had discovered I had ...

Feelings Buried Alive Never Die
This book "should be" read by every married couple. The author's research information and her own assessments are outstanding. I wish I would have read this book "45 years ago". This is a "life-changing" book that will "save" marriages.

Tired of piles? This book can help
This book has examples and advice for people with serious hoarding problems but the advice and exercises are helpful for those with more mild cluttering problems. Both my wife and I read the book and found ourselves energized to clear our space. It covers some of the reasons to be motivated to clear your space and some of the not so obvious roadblocks that get in your way. For example, are you a ...

God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?

John Lennox

Lion Books, 2007

Logical presentation for theistic belief
Reading John Lennox's work I'm very impressed with his ability to present a logical, scientific view of a most difficult and tenous subject as the debate of Science and God. Dr. Lennox presents arguments in the diverse fields as Astronomy, Biology and the fossil record to present a clear case for his beliefs. He is able to accomplish this without resulting to insults or low brow attacks. ...

Makes you feel like you're there
As a 2nd grade teacher, I've been sharing this book with my students for about 2 years now. It keeps any group mesmorized! The best part about it is the way it makes kids understand that the people of Pompeii were just regular people going about their daily routines when Vesuvius erupted. They especially feel a connection with the little boy Pliny who watched the eruption from across the ...

The Secret of the Mansion
This was my first time reading a Trixie Belden book and I enjoyed it immensely! In this book, Trixie meets a new friend, Honey, who moves in next door. While exploring an old mansion with Honey, they discover a runaway boy. He has runaway from his stepfather, who treats him cruelly. These stories are cliffhangers! I love them and advise you to read them all, as I plan to do.

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum!
Treasure Island is perhaps THE classic pirate's tale. Robert Louis Stevenson, the author, created a rich story of adventure and treachery on the high seas all seen through the eyes of a boy named Jim Hawkins. Jim starts off as the son of tavern owners in a humble little port village. When an old seaman stays at the tavern, trouble soon follows him in the form of a pirate crew seeking revenge. I ...

Corey Mitchell

Pinnacle, 2003

Very eye opening
Yet another hit from Corey Mitchell! The way he starts out with some of the attacks and then starts from the beginning of where everyone involved came from etc. was awesome. I again love the way he ties in other cases where applicable that people might recall. I was especially touched by the story of his deceased wife at the beginning. I had read books done after this and seen the reference to ...

Familiar faces return...
Jack Sparrow is floating in a small boat, not even worthy of being called a dingy, as he begins his next strange, unusual and always exciting adventure. Once he lands upon a very small island, he meets a very bloody, very broken man who has no idea who he is or how he got there. The only thing he knows is...Jack. Jack, of course, is full of sarcasm, but helps the beaten and bloody man all ...

Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye (Geronimo Stilton)

Geronimo Stilton

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2007

Fun, humours and pleasant to the eyes
There's one fine line between well-played and over-played layouts. The full Geronimo Stilton series falls into the well-played category: the outcome is pleasant and not too loud and the fonts / colour used are really a statement on their own. Another point to note is the translation involved. While this is not "literature" literature, the adaptation in cultural and linguistics aspect are ...
