1847 from the Perspective of an Ojibwa Child
The Birchbark House (originally published in 1999) is the story of a year in the life of a seven-year-old girl and her Ojibwa family, living on an island in Lake Superior in 1847. The book was written by Louise Erdrich, herself a member of the Turtle Band of Ojibwa (former name: Anishinabe). The Birchbark House takes place during the same time frame as Little House on the Prairie, and the two books share certain similarities. However, The Birchbark House illustrates that time frame from the perspective of the Native Americans, who fear being pushed ever Westward by white people. It includes many Ojibwa words and customs, and Ms. Erdrich does a wonderful job of conveying the sense of harmony that the Ojibwa share with their surroundings.
2 Thumbs up
Interesting piece of literature to do a multicultural lesson if you are a teacher.
A Very Good Read!
The Birchbarck House was a fun quick read.I needed it for a Native American class and the book was a wonderful and factual sorce for information on North East Native Americans!I would say that this is a good read for anyone who wants an interesting read along with the historical backround! ...

The Face on the Milk Carton
The Face on the Milk Carton was a good book. I can say that it mostly kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to read more. I usually don't read mystery books, but this one was very interesting. Within 5 min. of reading this book, I just could not put it down. The reason why I say this is a good book, and not a very good book is because, yes I did very well like the book but it had some parts where I felt as if Janie was asking a lot of questions and in my opinion she was sort of freaking out to much. So it made her sound really annoying in the book. Anyway if you are the kind of person who does't really like mystery, I suggest that you pick this book up and I guarantee you won't put it down.

The face on the book carton
The Face On the Milk Carton is a good book. If you like scary or books that keep you on your feet, you would like this book. I liked the character and personality of Janie. She is just like your normal fifteen-year-old girl. She is in to boys and likes to look at herself in the mirror. During class she is always daydreaming. Her mom is trying to get her to do different activities with her like cake decorating, but she does not really like them; well, it's not her mom its her grandma. What I mean by that is her mom named Hannah joined a group and her grandparents saved Janie from being in a bad group. I recommended this book for all of the people that like books that keep you on your feet, and that like mysterious books suspens

READ THIS
This book proves that M.T. Anderson is one of the most brilliant writers of our time, hands down. Read this book and know it; read this book and pass it on.

Don't miss it
Read this book and give it to everyone you know or love, whether 15 or 55. It's a stunning, extraordinary look at our own history through the eyes (usually) of Octavian Nothing, an African child slave who is, in this first of two books, the subject of experiments by a group of Boston rationalist philosophers. The purpose of the experiments? For the "philosophers" to learn whether Africans have the same capacity to learn as white children do. Because the Revolutionary War is about to break out, the characters' lives change in unpredictable ways.Every single page of this book, which is told in highly-readable and startlingly rich eighteenth-century language, is filled with brilliance and pain, and there are few characters in contemporary fiction that Icare about as much as I care about Octavian. You will, too. Furthermore, there are parallels, resonances, echoes, and consequences for all of us today---your brain will be unusually active as you read, and you won't be able to put the book down or stop thinking about it.

An exceptional presentation results.
This isn't just a written survey of key poems: over ninety poems are also presented on a cd of 52 performances by the poets and close friends, pairing written word with an imaginative spoken survey. Poems covered include Casey at the Bat, Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, and more: narrators range from Carl Sandburg and James Berry to J.R.R. Tolkien. An exceptional presentation results.

Poetry Speaks to Children
Great variety of poetry, nice to have on CD as well as the book

Great for many ages, my kids love it!
I bought this book for my two kids, age 10 and 7.Both constantly ask for this cd when we are riding in the car.We also have a Shel Silverstein cd but I wanted to expand their exposure to poetry beyond humorous rhymes.Since then I have purchased this book for many kids, from a bright 4 year old up through a 12 year old.All the feedback I have gotten has been very positive.It makes an excellent gift and is enjoyable for both adults and children. ...

A book ALL Archaeologists / Historians should read
If you are a fan of David Macaulay's books about the contruction of such wonders as a Cathedral, Pyramid, City, Mill, etc ... then you will really enjoy this book about future archaeologists / explorers "discovering" the burried ruins of an American motel room in the 41st century ... and the miss-identification of just about every item found. Motel of the Mysteries
I think this book is creatively written to get young people to read, and to get a good laugh about how people in the future look at people in the past.

A War Story Chills You to the Bone
Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Myers, is a deep, exhilarating war story about Richard Perry, a young recruit along with his fellow soldiers as they endure the horrors of war in Vietnam. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of war stories. This book is action packed, has a colorful cast of characters, and displays the horrors of war vividly.
Fallen Angels
The book Fallen Angles by Walter Dean Myers is a great book. Walter Dean Myers is one of my favorite authors. I have never been disapointed by any of his books. This one was about a young man drafted into the army. He was sent to active duty in Vietnam. It was all an errorthathe ended up in active duty he had a bad knee.The story brought you with the main character Richie Perry to the Vietnam war. Walter Dean Myers had you understand the fears and the feelings of the men in Perrys group. You met his new friends, sargents, and nurses. The book makes you feel like you areright there with them. You don't want to put the book down you were given more information about the Vietnam war. Its not as much the detail of the location and what was happening but more about the thoughts of the troops. You got the view from the people that were actually there in the trenches. They where trying to survive. There where men dying,they were friends there where feeling of loosing your friend to the war. Every one wanted to get out alive and well and start a new life. I recomend this book to anyone who likes war stories. This book will not only give you the war story, but the view from those who served. Not just the facts but the feelings.

Great Book, Loved It
I loved this book. It was a great read. Tiria finds the two injured birds, Brantalis and Pandion. She also has a few visions of Martin, who tells her to sail for Green Isle. This lets Tiria go on her adventures while the Abbeybeasts unpuzzle the riddles. It also speeds the plot up a lot. Tiria finds Cuthbert, and sails to Salamandastron. There she picks up 30 more hares, her regalia,and sails to Green Isle. There the book comes to an excellent conclusion.

Recommended for fantasy readers in middle school, high school and beyond
Young Tiria Wildlough is an ottermaid touched with destiny: she journeys from Redwall Abbey to an isle where she must fulfill an ancient prophecy to gain her inheritance, and face a wildcat chieftain and his catguard slave masters. Her involvement in an otterclan battle will change her world in this latest Redwall saga for fantasy readers in middle school, high school and beyond.
An aquired taste
With Redwall, my experience is that you get into it early, or not at all. I first was introduced to the world of Mossflower when I was eight, and I have never left it. Now I am a teenager, and when I try to get my friends to read it, they call it childish and trite. I realize that the plots do aquire a certain sameness over the course of the series, but I find that incredibly comforting. I know that one or two good beasts will die, but the good guys will win, and the bad guys will get their tails kicked in an extremely satisfying manner. ... Read more

Lyddie- a review by Kelsey
Lyddie is a very poor farm girl who has a crazed mother who believes everything to be a bad sign. Her and her brother Charlie are very close and will do anything for each other. When a bear intrudes on the family Lyddie's mother takes it as a bad sign. She takes her youngest children to her sisters house and leaves Charlie and lyddie to take care of the farm. They end up surviving the winter only to find out their mother has found separate jobs for them. The children reluctantly leave each other as they set out for their jobs. Lyddie is to work in a inn where she gets payed about fifty cents a week. While working at the inn Lyddie gets her chance to change her life. Lyddie goes to work at a factory. Lyddie is known as "close to her money and her friendships" but you will never learn of someone who works harder.
baandersonbookworm
For students in the middle grades or higher, Lyddie is a great read. It is a valuable resource for a social studies unit on slavery, the industrial revolution, the labor movement, yellow fever, or child labor. Lyddie is a symbol of strength, determination, and freedom. Paterson has created a strong central character and even though so much history is going on around her, it is on Lyddie that we continually focus our attention. I highly recommend book; very inspiring.

"we can still hop."
Paterson doesn't miss with this great historical fiction about a young girl's struggles. This is a great girl adventure book about dashing hopes and the strength and will to endure at all costs. The portrait of Vermont farm life and Lowell Mill girls and workers rights during the 1800s is dead on. This is great read and a great teaching tool. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and again.You see, there was a bit of a mixup when the Antichrist was born, due in part to the machinations of Crowley, who did not so much fall as saunterdownwards, and in part to the mysterious ways as manifested in the form of a part-time rare book dealer, an angel named Aziraphale.Like top agents everywhere, they've long had more in common with each other than the sides they represent, or the conflict they are nominally engaged in.The only personwho knows how it will all end is Agnes Nutter, a witch whoseprophecies all come true, if one can only manage to decipher them. The minor characters along the way (Famine makes an appearance as diet crazes, no-calorie food and anorexia epidemics) are as much fun as the story as a whole, which adds up to one of those rare books which is enormous fun to readthe first time, and the second time, and the third time... ...

From Beginning to End.
Crowley is a demon and Aziraphale is an angel.Despite their differences, for example Crowley likes to drive fancy race-cars while blaring rock music (that somehow always turns into a "Best of Queen" album) and Aziraphale prefers more classic vehicles and music, and being on opposing sides of an universal war, Aziraphale and Crowley have remained friends.They've actually been friends since almost the beginning of creation when Crowley took the form of a serpent to tempt the first humans and Aziraphale lost the flaming sword that he was supposed to use in defense of the Garden of Eden.More than each other, they have both become accustomed to the human universe in which they live.
Not particularly engaging or funny
Put me in the camp of people who were not that impressed with the book. The idea was original, and the book has its moments of cleverness, I certainly agree. Even though I enjoy British humor and "got" many of the gags (hey, I was a Queen fan and a Monty Python fan back in the day), I didn't find many of them funny enough to laugh, or even chuckle. Too many struck me as just side comments or little moments not in the normal flow of a story.
FUNNIEST.BOOK.EVER.
This is the book you lend out and never see again, and have to continually replace, because every so often, you have to read it again yourself, and laugh yourself silly over it!

Often compared to Tolkien's Middle-earth or Lewis's Narnia, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea is a stunning fantasy world that grabs quickly at our hearts, pulling us deeply into its imaginary realms. Four books (Read more

Wonderful novel of a wonderful series
I read the Earthsea Trilogy as an adolescent. I remember loving it, although the experience was, even then, very different for me. I was a fan of C.S. Lewis, Tolkein, Lloyd Alexander. But Leguin felt really differrent. Part of this was that the novel was more intellectual in focus, more about what lies at the heart of her characters and less about overt action, heroics. I remembering being surprised that the plot moved so quickly away from the obvious. In this novel the hero, Ged, very early on makes terrible mistakes. Instead of being brave and untarnished, he's afraid and for some time runs away from the evil he's unleashed. This is not obvious fantasy fare. It doesn't fit the formula, and for that I loved it. Adolescence was, for me, a time of much uncertainty and doubt and sometimes outright fear. I really connected with Ged and appreciated being able to read about a troubled, damaged hero who wasn't always perfect. Also, I did note that LeGuin is careful to describe her character's racial diversity. This is a world of brown and black people, with a few paler ones living at the margins of society. I think people often miss this, but I didn't then.
Overrated
So often it seems like an adequate book is well loved just because it appears in an "unusual" genre. If this book was about anything but wizards, it would be considered mildly entertaining, but not much else. I found it neither very intellectually stimulating, nor focused around an incredible plot. Of course, people can like what they like, but I feel like this book was a real let down.

"There was not much work to be got out of Duny."
While not as detailed or as ornate as THE LORD OF THE RINGS, LeGuin's Earthsea Cycle is considered among the finest of the Sword and Sorcery classics. A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA is the first book in the Cycle.

A Collection of Stories....
..some were good. Some were bad. I especially loved Party Planner by Meg Cabot, Traveling Light by Carole Matthews, and Here Come Harry, by Jessica Adams. But my most favorite one was Don't You Know Who I Am?, by Adele Lang. It was as if Edina from the hit Brititsh show, Absolutely Fabulous, was telling that story. It was a terrific read!!
Great and entertaining
This book is good from beginning to end.They are short stories though so each story only has a little bit of content.I really wished that the stories were longer because right as I got into them, they ended.You definitely have to make your own conclusions and assumptions at the end of each story.That part is unclear.It makes you wonder if you're assumptions are on the right track....hmmm.

Chick lit short story fun!
I really enjoyed some of the stories in this book.The first story, by Meg Cabot, had me laughing out loud at the antics of a nervous party planner.Jennifer Weiner's story (of Good in Bed's Cannie) from the male perspective, was really good.

Pure Story
The great thing about reading Gaiman's work has always been his commitment to story telling.Whilst there undoubtably enough themes and issues in Stardust for even the most pompous literary critic to sink their teeth in to.The main strength of this book (and indeed of most of Gaiman's work - excluding his literary collaboraitons) is its ability to fire you imagination.
Shooting stars and melted hearts
Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" takes place in a mystical version of England.The town of Wall is a tiny, safe and quiet village that is a bastion of safety from the outside world.Residents of the aptly-named Wall never venture outside of the village barriers and nobody from outside is allowed in, so as to keep Wall safe.Villagers, in pairs, are assigned shift duties in protecting the Gap that separates Wall from the outside world.
not his best, but pretty darn good.
This is definitely, as alot of people say, a fairy-tale for adults. It is only such, however, because there is a sex scene. I don't recall there being alot of complicated or harsh language. So it's basically a children's fairy-tale with some adult content. If you like children's fairy tales, you will love Stardust. It is very well done, and the imagery is fantastic. Although they're probably not the best books for comparision, I'd say that if you're an adult yet you still enjoy reading books like Ella Enchanted and the Neverending Story, you'll like this one.

This is one of the best book I have read for several years.
Wise and Mature
I've read Fifth Business five or six times over a 22-year period, and the older I become, the more it speaks to me.I think it's because Davies writes with a wisdom and maturity that is so rare these days that it's astonishing to find.

Very much to do with today...

The best of the "Shadow" subseries - deep, interesting, and entertaining
This latest installment in the "Enderverse" set by Orson Scott Card is a pleasure to read, and is more meaty then any of its predecessors in the "Shadow" subseries.Certainly, fans of the Ender books will find lots to enjoy with Card's typical fast pacing and interweaving of characters.The difference with this book is that Card seems to make a more genuine effort to interrelate several stories and to put real historical precedent behind his plotlines.In addition, he uses religion as a source of conflict while paying attention to both the religions themselves and how they are perceived by outsiders.Religion is a subject that most sci fi writers avoid, but Card successfully weaves it into the fabric of his universe.
Shadow of the Giant
Shadow of the Giant is once again a perfect book by Orson Scott Card. I ejoyed this book very much and I think that everyone who has read the Ender series should read thsi book. It starts and ends very well and it gives the sense of peace in the end. this is probably one of the best book in the series, at least it was for me.

Editorial Review

"Going all the way" is still a taboo subject in young adult literature. Judy Blume was the first author to write candidly about a sexually active teen, and she's been defending teenagers' rights to read about such subjects ever since. Here, Blume tells a convincing tale of first love--a love that seems strong and true enough to last forever. Katherine loves Michael so much, in fact, that she's willing to lose her virginity to him, and, as the months go by, it gets harder and harder for her to imagine living without him. However, something happens when they are separated for the summer: Katherine begins to have feelings for another guy. What does this mean about her love for Michael? What does this mean about love in general? What does "forever" mean, anyway? As always, Blume writes as if she's never forgotten a moment of what it's like to be a teenager. ... Read more

Still a Great Read!
I managed to miss this one when I was reading Blume as a pre-teen...and since it's around that time of the year (banned book week), I decided to find out why it is that this book gets challenged so often...and yep, I can see why!It's a realistic look at young love, about how teens feel about love and sex and how emotionally crippling a romance can feel at that age...it doesn't pull any punches and presents a realistic and compelling story of young love that could have happened to any of us.I do see why some parents might not want this in libraries...but I personally would LOVE to see teens reading this...it presents an honest, open, and responsible look at teenage love and sex.I love that this goes one step further than that "forever" feeling and examines what happens when those same teenagers who pin their whole emotional future on one other person go away to college or for summer jobs (or both)...what happens when they are exposed to new people and experiences and how that changes what they thought would be forever!
I love this book
I just read it for the fifth or sixth time.Not sure what else to say that hasn't already been said.Basically it was entertaining, honest, enlightening, touching, and the break-up scene made me cry.Who hasn't gone through that?It reads so realistically, and quickly!I was so disappointed it was so short, I really wanted to see what happened after.Maybe Blume will write a sequel about Katherine in college called "Theo called."

Love Story? No. Moral book? Not even.
I have heard people say that Blume was an amazing author. I read this book and was thouroughly let down. I thought it was going to be a love story but I was wrong. It is a sex book and is completely pointless. If Blume was trying to write a moral book then she was way off target.

Disappointed.
I enjoyed Dick's short stories and was expecting the same quality from those in this book, i.e. an engaging plot and interesting characters. Scenes play out tediously with characters and their mind chatter ceaselessly flowing (to a point where it becomes annoying) with bits and pieces of information and occasional dialogue that tries to move whatever plot there is along. There were numerous characters none of which were very interesting or that one could attach affection to. It got to a point three quarters of the way in that I said to myself "Who really cares what happens?"
First Rate Fiction
Dick is the master of the sleight of hand, defying reality with his novels and short stories.Plus, like all great sci fi, or speculative fiction, he creates a "real" world with "real" people and yet somehow makes the reader keep turning those pages.A great read, by a great story-teller.

extraordinary book but quite depressing reading...
I had known this book for quite a long time before finally buying and reading it.So I was aware of its basics.
