One Last Wish
I've read quite a few books in the One Last Wish series and along with She Died Too Young, this one is my favourite. It is very realistic and with very believable characters. The story just takes you along with it. The main character in this book is Katie who desperatly needs a heart transplant after a virius has severly weakened her heart. It switches between scenes with Katie and Josh, ...

Lurlene McDaniel

Topeka Bindery, 1999

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in my opinion, Reach For Tomorrow is Lurlene McDaniel's best book.It was great how she put in Eric, Megan, Sarah, and Morgan from the other one last wish books. The only OWL character missing was Dani from Mourning Song. I hope Lurlene writes a sequel that describes what happens to Josh and katie now that they're married, if meg and morgan stay together, and what happens to the other characters. ...

Themes include purity, relationships, romance, school stress, family issues, and negative influences. Each story in the series has a moving ending, is uplifting, entertaining, and makes you feel ...

An Angel For Solomon Singer (by a 5 year-old reviewer)
I think it is one of the most perfect books ever. Since my mom bought it, well,I'm encouraged. Because I'm a student, I could have it for my schoolbook. If I could give it ten billion stars, I'd yell out, "Hey, Solomon Singer!" (Giggle!)

One of the best SWEET VALLEY HIGH books!
I loved LAST WISH. It was such an incredible book that I couldn't put it down until I finished it (I had borrowed it from my town's library). In LAST WISH, Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are turning 17 years old. Elizabeth wants to throw Jessica a birthday party that Jessica will never forget...and Jessica wants to do the same for Elizabeth, unknowingly that they both want to give each other ...

Addicting!! Highly recommended!
I think these books are the best I've ever read! Once you pick it up, don't expect to put it down anytime soon!! I've read them over and over, and still love them.

The MAGGIE B26 reviews
Irene Haas

Margaret K. McElderry, 1975

Great tool for imagination
So much is done for kids these days. The toys talk to them, even some books do. They lead very passive lives. This book is about a child and her imagination and the sea voyage she dreams of one evening. It is a great story complimented well by great illustrations and is sure to enccourage your child to dream "in color." Also, with the songs, it makes an excellent read aloud book.

The Best of The Opus Books
If you purchase this book for the illustrations alone you would still have an incomparable treasure but wait there is more, because this is a story that is a treasure in itself. Opus wants a pair of wings that work. But in his mind wings only work if you can fly. It's not until Santa's sleigh is sinking in the ocean that Opus gets to use his flippers and fly through the water and save Santa ...
  
  











  



  
Give Me One Wish: 27 reviews
Jacquie Gordon

Berkley, 1991

major inspiration
I can't even begin to describe what an impact this book has had on me. I read it for the first time in 6th grade, and since then my entire frame of mind has changed. I've found that I really love things like Monty Python, 80s punk rock, the Muppets, and so much more. So it (this book) has changed me a lot in that way, but it also is such an inspiration because of the fact that Christine never ...

Marvin Redpost's a Winner!
It all started with Casey Happleton. She was the most unusual girl Marvin Redpost had ever met. She lived in an old fire station. Actually, it had been remodeled and on the inside looked pretty much like a regular house, except for the fire pole right in the middle of the living room. The pole went all the way up to the fourth floor and Casey was allowed to slide down on it. And, she had a ...
  
  











  



  
Little Miss Spider: A Christmas Wish7 reviews
David Kirk

Bt Bound, 2003

Best Attention getting rhythm and color
My 16 month old and I go to the library and get books quite often. When I read this book to her she loved it. It is hard to tell who loved it more though, my daughter or me. The colors are vibrant and the rhyme has a nice rhythm. I did not mind reading it several times a day.
  
  











  



  
Three Wishes7 reviews

Kimani Press, 2008

I've run out of words . . .
to say how wonderful "Three Wishes" is! Ms. Sims' careful research, particularly into the legal systems, makes for vibrant background detail. Her artful manipulation of the plot, contrived so that amour and friendship escalate in tandem (an none too quickly), reaffirms her ability to deliver entertaining fiction. Her characters are very believable and thank goodness she didn't write Sunny Adams ...

Aladdin, 2000

This is a Must Read Book
The Well Wished by Franny Billingsley is a five star book. It was Great. The thing I liked best about this book was how one girl wanted to share her traditions with her friend that was handicapped. There were no illustrations in this book but I could imagine the pictures in my head because of the descriptions. I didn't learn anything new from this book, but it was great anyway I would recommend ...
