A superb close to a great journey!
I have loved each page of every book of the Potter saga since I was first introduced to that very special first book some ten years ago. what a remarkable journey it has all been. True, this finale is a bit off the path of the previous books, but just as enjoyable and a very logical conclusion to Harry's path to the gates of adulthod. So thoroughly enjoyed, along with the remarkable and ...

Definitely the Best Thus Far...
The review title says it all: this is BY FAR the best book thus far in The Power of Three. For all those of you who were unsure of the series, well... read this book- it's bound to change your mind. The Power of Three is turning out to be quite the mystery- way more so than the original series or The New Prophecy. In Eclipse, as some questions are answered, even more are asked, and you're left ...

The Beatty Boys
Tate Publishing

Great Pick of Juvenile Nonfiction
"Pulling Weeds" is a time-honored way for entrepreneurial boys to make some pocket money. More than that, pulling weeds taught the Beatty brothers (David, 16, Devin, 14, and Deric, 8) lessons about service-based jobs. From these nitty-gritty lessons in personal finances, they moved on to reading books, asking questions, listening to others, and putting what they learned about personal finances ...

Excellent reference book for girls!!
A friend of mine recommended I get this book for my nine year-old daughter, after my daughter asked me with some concern what people meant by "getting pregnant by accident." In the past, my daughter had resisted all of my efforts to talk about the birds and the bees, and even in the conversation that ensued after this pregnancy question, she seemed uncomfortable and worried. When I gave her ...
The 39 Clues: Card Pack

Great Accompaniment to the Book
The collector cards are great to accompany the book. The cards give hints to help kids follow the 39 Clues. They can also earn game points that could lead to prizes. Each card pack contains 16 randomly assorted cards and no two card packs are the same --- which makes for lots of excitement. - Susanna K. Hutcheson

Moving, Very Well Written
I recently started a book club and this was our first pick. It could not have been a better choice. Everyone had it read in plenty of time. No complaints on the choice I made either. This book tells a very emotionally charged story. Once I started reading it, I was constantly stealing time to read, until it was finished. Hope there is a part II.

The time paradox (Artemis Fowl book 6)
This was a very good book, but it wasn't the best in the series. I would recommend for people who like to read science fiction.

The perfect math book to relearn the basics
My daughter is starting high school this fall and I just didn't feel she was prepared to handle the math that was coming her way. I searched the internet for math games and instruction but couldn't find much for her age..(most of the games were geared for younger children). A friend let me borrow this book and my daughter and I just ran with this. We did a chapter a day together and they are ...

Spanish Made Easy for someone who can't speak too well
I actually do speak well in spanish, but I needed a few brush ups. I absolutely think this is the easiest and most user friendly book out there. My co workers always come in to use it. If you want to have something handy in case your stuck with your spanish than this is the one. Very user friendly and easy to understand.

Great book for young kids dealing with anxiety
This book was recommended by my son's therapist (6) to help him deal with some mild anxiety. I really enjoy reading it with him, and he has responded very positively to the book. The book has stimulated great conversation and is helping deal with his anxiety in a child friendly way.

No good, Very bad, DAY!
This is a childhood favorite of mine explaining the life of a child who is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! He goes through why he is having this terrible day and at the ending there is a little surprise. Very good for younger children, even some older children. Great to read in a classroom!

entertained for a week!
I just have to say that the school librarian knew just the book when asked by my 8 year old "I need a really big book, can you help me?" He had been getting tired of reading through the Jack and Annie books in an hour or two and was ready for a book not as scary as Harry Potter and the other bigger ones out there. Hugo caught his attention right off. He was so into the book that he couldn't put ...

Inspiring and helpful
This is one of the few education books that I really looked forward to reading and learning more about the philosophy. Even if your school has a set idea of how Language Arts/Reading periods should look, there are some fabulous theories and strategies that can be implemented!

Guess what? Kids are not naturally kind!
I was sucked into the whole bucket thing because the corresponding program is what my elementary school is doing this year. We have the posters throughout the school, the assemblies, and the books. Sure, the cynical part of me was perfectly willing to mock this (and yes, we did have a little "don't shoot holes in Mike's bucket!" banter during faculty meeting). But, when it gets down to it, ...
