The Princess Casamassima (Harper torchbooks, TB1005. The Academy library) 13 reviews
Henry James
Harper, 1959
Taming His Inner Anarchist
The Princess Casamassima is fascinating for the way it takes James out of his comfort zone to depict the social world of workingmen, dressmakers, shopgirls, pub goers and (most improbably) underground revolutionaries in late Victorian London. I've heard the novel criticized for James's knee-knocking in confronting the 'social question': uneasy about the inequality it was built upon, his ...

Princess Academy 100 reviews
Shannon Hale
Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2007
Hard Realities in a Soft Fantasy
More a story about work ethic, facing reality, and ability to adapt to changes with whatever talent one posesses, this is a wonderful "fairy tale" for people of any age to read. Rather than the glossy Cinderella pablum that has everyone fast-forwarding to "happily ever after," here the heroine embraces her own physical and character flaws, understands the importance of education, hard work, and ...

A Wedding for Wiglaf? #4 (Dragon Slayers' Academy)3 reviews
Kate McMullan
Grosset & Dunlap, 2003
Very Funny
Just great! Mordred lastest scheme to acquire gold is to marry off Wiglaf to get it! My children and I have all really enjoyed reading this book, and the other 7 books in the series. They are very funny, engaging, and adventurous books that keep my 9 year old reading long past his bedtime. Thanks Amazon for recommending the series!

Thirteen Uncollected Stories by John Cheever 1 review
John Cheever
Academy Chicago Publishers, 1994
Fascinating early Cheever
Except for the first two, all of the stories in this collection are excellent! I had a great time reading them. My favorite is the sad "Bayonne", and the riotously funny "The Opportunity". There are hints of Cheever's celebrated prose style, but all of these stories are marvelously constructed narratives. The book itself is okay. Except for the hideous yellow of the jacket and more than a few ...

The Wonder Years: Helping Your Baby and Young Child Successfully Negotiate The Major Developmental Milestones6 reviews
American Academy Of Pediatrics
Bantam, 2006
Wonder Years is Wonderful
I highly recommend this one for all parents who want to help their children develop and blossom.
The book does a great job of walking you through each of the diferent milestons and what to be on the look out for at each stage. Unlike some of the other comments, I actually prefer the grouping by activity, rather than age - It helped give me a clearer picture of the progression. I also ...
