Cinnamon Werewolves! Yes!
For over twenty adventures now, Nate the Great, the young detective, has searched for his friends' missing things. He's searched for missing stamps, weeds, boring beach bags, missing pets, musical notes, stolen bases, and even saved the King of Sweden (kinda!). In all of this, his mom has been quietly supportive. He leaves a note on the refrigerator to tell her what case he's working on, that ...

Henry Huggins

Fantastic
I have a number of Ramona CD's so thought I'd venture out into Henry Huggins. As much as I love Ramona, this Henry CD is the best, due in part to the voice of Neil Patrick Harris. My son loves to listen to a CD every night before going to bed, and he requests this one more often than any other. It's amazing to think that Beverly Cleary's book, written 50 years ago, can still appeal to ...

Wonderfully Enjoyable!
Another fine Henry Huggins book...and sadly we only have two left about Henry before we have exhausted this series. We simply love these books, my daughter is anxiously waiting until we get to the library tomorrow to pick up Henry and the Paper Route and we'll top off the series with Ribsy. Like other Henry Huggins books, this one is divided into chapters (7 to be exact) and each chapter is ...

Memories
I read this book when I was in the third grade and I loved it!!! I probably read the book 20 times during my childhood. I am now 24, and still remember the yummy candy corn contest described in this book. :)

The Perfect Fantasy
It is NOT my intent to be inflammatory or insulting with this review. However, as humans, we live and die by comparing and contrasting, so I can't help it if I do so. Please don't shoot the messenger because I rate Alexander's series according to personal standards. Second, I am not merely reviewing The High King here; this is the best place to review the entire Chronicles of Prydain, and so I ...

Homesick: a great book for all age groups
Homesick is a great, interesting story that summarizes her childhood life. Jean Fritz uses wonderful, descriptive words about how she felt during her life in China. This book kept me hooked all the way through and I would defiantly recommend it to all age groups.

Many Waters (Time Quartet, Bk. 5)

Madeleine L'Engle

A Yearling Book, 1987

For Readers of the Lost Ark Story
In the previous three volumes of Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet tales of the Murry family, the focus has been on the siblings Meg and Charles Wallace. The twins in the middle, Sandy and Dennys, are kind of off to the side. That all changes in Many Waters, when they are front-and-center. Though written fourth, in the internal story chronology, this fits in between A Wind in the Door and A ...
