Backwater 38 reviews Joan Bauer
Putnam Juvenile, 2000

The Final Reckoning (The Deptford Mice, Book 3) 1 review Robin Jarvis
Chronicle Books, 2004
An Amazing (yet confusing) Story
The third book in the Depford Mice series is amazingly well-written, and a definate page-turner. There is action, adventure, fantasy, and even some romance in it. I dropped a star because of the constant character-to-character jumps, and the slightly hard-to-follow plotline. Otherwise, thsi is a ...

The Prince of the Pond: Otherwise Known as De Fawg Pin 15 reviews Donna Jo Napoli
Puffin, 1994
Hysterical, Sweet, Informative -- Wonderful!
+ Prince of the Pond + It's hard to be green...
I am agog at the reviews that complain about Pin's speech being annoying, or the biology lesson feel of the book. My kids (5 and 7) and I loved this poignant story of acceptance: acceptance of others' differences, of one's changing circumstances. They laughed themselves silly as Pin outwitted the ...
