An adult review
This book follows Gilly a foster child as she gorws up. Through her feeling of hate toward her foster mother and brother to her angst at school. Gilly learns that no matter how much anger, discomfort, and hardships you put people through the ones who really love you aren't going to stop because you did something bad.
  
  











  



  
The Cricket on the Hearth (Lrs Large Print Heritage Series)4 reviews
Charles Dickens

Library Reproduction Services, 1997

Odd size
You can't beat Charles Dickens, and The Cricket on the Hearth is a great story. The book is surprisingly large and has a strangely homemade look to it. That adds to its charm.

Jules Verne

Library Reproduction Services, 2000

A Science Fiction Classic
Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, made several predictions that came true in this book. The book is exciting from cover to cover. It deserves more credit than it seems to be getting. It was written over one hundred years ago. I would recommend this book to any science fiction fan. Danny Fleming, author of How to Prove The Collatz Conjecture.

Library Reproduction Services, 2000

Audio Edition--Worth every penny
Cherry Jones' reading of Little House on the Prairie is lively, spirited, clear and articulate all at the same time. The best is when she sings along to Woodiel's fiddle. I was initially worried that the songs would sound ridiculous, but I was pleasantly surprised by how natural Jones' singing was, and how smoothly the fiddle entered the narration. I highly recommend this recording for any fan, ...

A must read for little boys
My 8 year old son actually went to bed early every night we read this book so that we could read 2 chapters. Sometimes kids books just don't hold the attention of parents, but I truly enjoyed sharing this story. I choked up and had to compose myself. What a great story. What amazing life lessons, I loved this book as much as my son did. A must read.

8 year old kids's review of Sarah, Plain and Tall
The story of Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLaclan is a pioneer fiction about a family who needs a mother and a wife, and a lady who needs a home. It is sad, funny, happy, scary, exciting, and keeps me guessing. Jacob Witting needs a helpful, hardworking wife and a mother for his young children Anna and Caleb.

Hatchet (Large Print Cornerstone Ser)1164 reviews
Gary Paulsen

Library Reproduction Services, 2000

An Exciting Survival Story
Hatchet is one of Gary Paulsen's finest works. I think his goal was to establish a great young adult novel that is easy to become immersed in. He looks to create a book that is enjoyable and also has a lot of useful information about life in the wilderness. Paulsen, a writer from Minneapolis, writes young adult novels usually about nature. He has written over 200 books, short stories, ...

This is the fifth of nine books in the "Little House" historical fiction series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The book starts with the news, in the first chapter, that Laura's older sister Mary has gone blind. The information is related matter-of-factly, "Her blue eyes were still beautiful, but they did not know what was before them, and Mary herself could never look through them again to tell Laura ...

Library Reproduction Services, 2000

The Magic of Friendship
I have read this countless times since the 4th grade, and it still continues to be one of my favorite books ever. The odd thing is that I remember being severely disappointed to learn this was not a fantasy. But the real story is stronger, that of a deep friendship that affects a young boy for good and bad. There are so many levels to this book, and thus it becomes clear why these two ...

Mildred D. Taylor

Library Reproduction Services, 2004

At a time of Barack Obama being nominated for President, it is good to look back at what was
This book is about the old south, a place of deep-seated segregation and racial bias. It is told through the eyes and voice of a lightly educated white boy named Jeremy whose father despises blacks. Yet, the boy clearly has not had the race hatred deeply ingrained into his persona, as he tries to be friendly and feels bad when the whites mistreat a black man (Josias) for simply stating that he ...
