Wonder's First Race (Thoroughbred Series #3)41 reviews
Joanna Campbell

HarperCollins, 1991

Essential reading for any young equestrian, don't let it end
This was the first Thoroughbred book I ever read and still holds a special place in my heart. This is a truly well-written book that I have enjoyed upon many re-readings. Unfortunately, Harper Collins has decided to end the series abruptly after #72. With such a dedicated following and online fan base with members from all over the world, this is a classic and beloved series that has inspired ...

Joanna Campbell

HarperCollins, 1991

DONT LET THOROUGHBRED DIE
Wonder and Ashleigh make the best team in the world. Wonder is such a great filly who loves to race and win. It waz really great that Ashleigh got to ride Wonder in th Breeders Cup Classic due to Jilly's injury but Wonder couldnt have done it without Ashligh. Wonder runs like she is flying with wings. I really hated when Jennings and Brad tried to ruin Wonders chances in the race, but luckily ...

Isabella Hatkoff, Craig Hatkoff and Dr. Paula Kahumbu

Scholastic Press, 2006

An Astonishing Story on Friendship and Resilience
The well-written book portrays a heart-warming story about friendship. Mzee's love and guidance, along with Owen's resilience, proves that Science can't always explain what brings species together. The book contains factual material, as partially told by the general manager of Haller Park, Dr. Paula Kahumbu. Photographer Peter Greste brings this story to life with his photos that capture all the ...
  
  











  



  
Wonder's Promise (Thoroughbred Series #2)42 reviews
Joanna Campbell

HarperCollins, 1991

Faith in Wonder kept Ash going, even when all seemed lost.
This is the second installment in the amazing Thoroughbred series. In this book, Wonder has been put into yearling training under a rough trainer. Jennings thinks that Wonder has been babied all her life and it's high time she learned to be treated like a race horse. Wonder becomes a totally different horse as she he manhandled and whipped. Ashleigh and Charlie can see that this sort of ...

Ben Morgan

DK ADULT, 2006

Breathtaking
Even people who aren't as avid about nature as I am have found this book to be simply spectacular. It was given to me as a Christmas present and promptly got passed around the room. People who only take a glance have bought their own copy! The large, professionally printed photographs will take your breath away, and the captions and stories are just as entertaining. This book is organized neatly ...

William Morrow, 1983

Reality of the Unicorn
This gorgeous book is one of the finest unicorn books I own. It has great pictures and lots of unicorn details and a unicorn searching guide. It is worth buying if you like unicorns or photography. It is worth getting Unicorn of Kilimanjaro or the Calendar if you can find them as well. It is on my list of favorite all time books, and i see a lot of them as i work at a bookstore. By this if you or ...
  
  











  



  
What Are the Seven Wonders of the World? and 100 Other Great Cultural Lists--Fully Explicated25 reviews
Peter D'Epiro, Mary Desmond Pinkowish

Anchor, 1998

Not your typical book of lists
I found this interesting book via a book club I belong to. I've used it extensively in research for debating as well as writing fanfiction. Encyclopedic in nature (it covers a wealth of subjects from history to science to the arts) and intelligently written, I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning.
  
  











  



  
The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion23 reviews
Mircea Eliade

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987

A brilliant introduction to the study of religion
I decided to read this book for a religion-course I'm taking, and I must say I'm happy I did! Mircea Eliade was a Rumanian historian of religions, philosopher and author, in addition to being a vaguely religious man himself. This book was written to serve as an introduction to the study of religion for new students and the interested layman, and it does so excellently. Eliade was interestingly ...

Not only do you get hte nostalgic book with the history of this heroine, you get the figurine that you can display and become the envy of all your friends!

It's fantastic for all collectors and a MUST-HAVE for all die-hard fans!
  
  











  



  
The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies22 reviews
Jason Surrell

Disney Editions, 2003

A SPIRITED TRIBUTE TO A DISNEY CLASSIC
This book is a must read for ALL ages and ANYONE interested in Disney theme park attractions around the globe. Any Disney fan knows that the Imagineers are very particular about what is revealed to the general public in terms of how they make their Disney 'magic' and I was pleasantly surprised (being an avid Disney fan myself) by the research that went into the making of this book and the amount ...
  
  











  



  
No Wonder They Call Him Savior23 reviews
Max Lucado

Multnomah Publishers, 1991

Jesus made real and personal
Max Lucado has done a marvelous thing by blessing humanity with his portrayal of the Cross of Jesus Christ. In his own unique style of writing, the author takes you on a vivid journey of discovery as you see the Cross, and the characters who "surround" it, from a new light. Max Lucado has such a powerful ability to express himself in words. Tears filled my eyes as I was touched, transformed, and ...
  
  











  



  
Seeing in the Dark : How Amateur Astronomers Are Discovering the Wonders of the Universe21 reviews
Timothy Ferris

Simon & Schuster, 2003

Every Man A Galileo
This is an informative and at times whimsical work about outer space, specifically who is doing the observing and what is being observed. The material goes considerably beyond the title, as only one chapter actually treats of near earth objects [NEO's] at depth, and I am still confused over the author's distinction between "amateur" and "professional" astronomers. With those caveats in mind, ...

Lauren Manoy, Yan Apostolides

Fireside, 2002

I love this book!
When I started concidering the craft, I came to amazon and tried to find some good books to read on the subject. It was a little overwhelming, there were so many! I went to the local library and checked out my top thirty. After reading each and every book, this was the first one I bought. Why? Because it gave you the whole picture. There were lots of books on different types of witchcraft, ...

Shinning came to the farm abused and neglected. Samantha, the main character, turns Shinning around. Then Shinning is given to her. But what if Shinning helps a little girl get better and her ...
  
  











  



  
Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors22 reviews
Joseph A. Citro

Houghton Mifflin, 1997

Ghosties, ghoulies, and a mystery or two
From the title of this book, I was expecting mostly ghost stories. However, this book is unique in its genre, and I was very pleasantly surprised! Although this book has much legend and lore, of which I am not usually a fan, this author's ability as a raconteur quickly overcomes the boundaries of time. These tales are superbly told by a master at his game. Joseph Citro, in his own words, ...
