Life Changing at 12
When I first picked up this book, I was the typical bookworm. I knew every corner of my middle school's library. Most often, I'd find myself in the mythology section or classic plays. However, one day, I took a fateful journey into the fantasy section. I was 12 years old, timid and accepting of even the worst opinions of me. When I read it, I was enlightened. A whole five foot one, (four foot ...

Cinderella Who? by Sara Martinez
Many young girls dream of having a fairy tale life just like the ones that appear in Disney movies such as Cinderella, but what happens when these girls grow into young ladies and expect a little more than your usual fairy tale? In her novel Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine adds a whole new twist to the familiar story of Cinderella. With the use of point of view, characterizations and themes, ...

Please don't summarize!
I loved this book and read it in two days and began the next immediately. One thing that troubles me -- about many amazon reviews -- is that they are NOT reviews. Person after person summarizes the story (which is, basically, summarized in the official editorial paragraph. WHY OH WHY does everyone do this! WHy not just say what you liked/disliked and why? Rowling uses EXQUISITE VOCABULARY ...

Perfect Graduation Gift
Excellent gift for a highschool or college graduation. Dr. Seuss may have written this as a childrens book but I think it is excellent for a young adult. I always give this as a graduation gift. If you haven't ever read it, you should and you will see why it is a perfect gift for a young adult!

Sadly romantic & beautiful=)
This is my second time reading this book and what can I say, I cried both times..I love it!!! One of the BEST books I've ever read!!!It is probably one of the saddest book out there as well. Don't Die, My Love is about Luke and Julie who had been childhood lovers and now is in high school and has a love bigger than anything..Luke is the football star quarterback and is madly in love with Julie ...

Boy's Life

Robert R. McCammon

Tandem Library, 1999

My all-time favorite
Whenever I have occasion to recommend for another serious reader a good book, Boy's Life is the first title to spring from my lips, almost without my knowing I've said it. Even though there's a thirty-year gulf between protagonist Cory's childhood and my own, I recognize every word of it. I remember so well the apple-flavored days of summer, the adventures both real and imagined, the off-beat ...

The Last of the really Great Whangdoodles 30th Anniversary Edition
I brought this book for my god daughter and i wanted to read it first so she was able to come to me to talk about the book. It is a wonderfully well written book that allows the reader to open their minds to pure imagination, where nothing can stand in your way. Julie Andrews Edwards has produced an amazing book that i would recommend to any age group! Even us big children at heart. The use of ...

A Ring of Endless Light (Austin Family)

Madeleine L'Engle

Tandem Library, 1999

Loved It!!
I loved this book and I would recommend it to girls from the ages 10 and up. This was a good story to connect to your life or the lives of the people around you. The things that happen to Vicky in A Ring of Endless Light might happen or may have happened to the reader. Therefore the plot of the story is believable. I would like to read another story by this author because I loved how thorough ...

Mattimeo (Redwall (Econo-Clad))

Brian Jacques

Tandem Library, 1991

EXCELLENT! 10/10!
This is either the best or the second best Redwall book. It's the direct sequel to the Original Redwall, so there will be a lot of familier characters. Complete with 3 huge battles, a cruel monster that lurks in the dark, and an evil slaver named Slager, this book is ultimate, and I highly reccomend it!

Great Book!!
I first read this book when I was eleven years old, and have loved it ever since. I cannot even count the number of times I have re-read it. It is excellently written with a deep plot, well-made characters, and an amazingly believable feel of the world of Ancient Egypt. Even if you are not a fan of ancient Egyptian books, you will soon become interested in the characters and before you know it, ...

Little Prince speaks to the child in me
I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...

Lords of Discipline

Pat Conroy

Tandem Library, 1999

Duty, Honor, Country
The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...

One Child

Torey L. Hayden

Tandem Library, 1999

Interesting but Sad
This is one I could not put down. Possibly Torey's best book! Shelia, a bright 6-year-old girl who tied up a 4-year-old and set him on fire and was put in Torey's "crazy kid" class until a space opened up in the State mental hospital for her. She had a high IQ, was a bed wetter, had an abusive, alcoholic father and was abandoned on a freeway by her mother who kept her younger brother. She ...

Tomorrow, When the War Began

John Marsden

Tandem Library, 1999

Fabulous
Ellie is so articulate, bright, and caring that she makes what would have been an average story into an amazing and believable account of eight young adults out to save their families and ultimately their homeland. Once I got used to the Australian vernacular, I read this book at an amazing pace because I simply couldn't put it down. I can't wait to hunt down the rest of this series.

Ina May's Guide to Childbirth

Ina May Gaskin

Tandem Library, 2003

Another Great Book!
Ina May has written another great book that makes childbirth seem so natural and empowering, as opposed to a common misconception that it is painful and women should not have to endure the pain. This book helps you realize how powerful the female body truly is. I have already recommended this book to many friends and family of the childbearing age. Whether or not you choose to go natural, I think ...
