Author: Peg Kehret Narrator: Pamela Lorence Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Matt is missing. Bonnie's brother left his classroom to use thebathroom - and disappeared. A police dog traces his scent to the curb, where he apparently got into a vehicle. But why would Matt go anywhere with a stranger? Overwhelmed with fear, Bonnie discovers that her dog is gone, too. Was Pookie used as a lure for Matt? Bonnie makes one big mistake in her attempt to find her brother. In a chilling climax on a Washington State ferry, Bonnie and Matt must outsmart their abductor or pay with their lives. Editorial Reviews: Six-year-old Matt leaves his classroom to use the bathroom and disappears, kidnapped by Denny, the father he has never met. Matt's mother and sister Bonnie move heaven and Earth to look for him, but it's only by chance that Bonnie spots Matt at a baseball game. However, Denny manages to capture Bonnie, as well, and the two siblings must figure out a way to escape together. Narrator Pamela Lorence's performance is honest and unburdened despite the seriousness of the events in this story, and her wide-eyed depiction of Bonnie and Matt fully evokes their innocence and determination.

But when the boys ride up to the gate on their bikes, Arthur tells his new friend, Logan, that the old amusement park hasnt been open for years. Kudzu vines have grown over everything, making the park look sinister even in broad daylight, so Logan is reluctant to go inside, but Arthur urges him on. Hes sure theyll discover important clues to the mystery theyre trying to solve: Who killed Myrtle Donaldson? And what happened to the money she handled as head bookkeeper at the Magic Forest? Arthur and Logans quest takes them to the lowest - and highest - levels of society in their small Virginia town. The boys must pay another visit to the Magic Forest, this time in the middle of the night. And this time they find the killer waiting for them among the shadowy kudzu vines. Members Reviews: A Scooby-Doo Novel I got the book for my son to listen to on the road with me. The first quarter was a good setup, but after that, it fell into such predictable beats that it was hard to stay interested. Characters are two-dimensional, reveals are revealed a mile away, and the writing was pretty heavy-handed. There wasn't a great deal of "What happens next?" moments in the book, because they were broadcast long beforehand. Which all leads me to the my review title. It's a lot like a Scooby Doo episode. So, for a 9 or 10 year old? I suppose this is all great. I would have liked more creepy stuff, less annoying Hardy Boys stuff. Wonderful Story for a 5th or 6th Grader If you could sum up Closed for the Season in three words, what would they be? It's about friendship What did you like best about this story? I liked that the boys remained true to on another. It also had a nice little mystery to go along with it. Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrewss other performances before? How does this one compare? no, can't compare Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh in a few places. Any additional comments? This is a nice little mystery, with a good story line about friendship. Any boy or girl would enjoy reading this book. A Little Stand By Me This story reminds me of Stand by Me. A little. This is an entertaining story of a murder mystery. But it's more than that. It's about two boys, an unlikey pair, who find they need each other and end up becoming unseperatable friends.

She loves farm animals, but this one just hasn't sparked as much interest as I thought. She is 2.5 years old. I myself love reading it though ;) The author has a way with words and I love the illustrations, I've bought a couple of books from this author and illustrator combo because I love their books so much. Fun but not the Gruffalo We are a huge fan of the gruffalo books. This book is cute but not has good as gruffalo.

With the help of their friend Marjani and a rather unusual ally, Ananna and Naji make their way south again, seeking what seems to be beyond their reach. Unfortunately, Naji has enemies from the shadowy world known as the Mists, and Ananna must still face the repercussions of going up against the Pirate Confederation. Together, Naji and Ananna must break the curse, escape their enemies - and come to terms with their growing romantic attraction. Members Reviews: A fantasy tail with a lot of love ridden angst I absolutely loved the first in this series, the second is good, but not great. The plot itself was grand, but the downfall for me was with Ananna's character depth. When it came down to it, she really wasn't a likeable character. Very selfish and flighty, things I don't like. There were things that happened in this book that seemed a bit out of character for her, compared to her character in book one. The decisions she made really peeved me, especially about Ice Boy. I got to where I thought she did not deserve Naji. But that's why I give this book three stars. However, the story and mythology was impeccable. The plot was marvelous and exciting. It should've been one whole book! I can not comprehend how stupid must have been the person who decided to split the book into two separate book. Stupid. The sum is better than its two parts. Always.

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks Audiobook by Lauren Myracle

Title: Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks Author: Lauren Myracle Narrator: Julia Whelan Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs Language: English Release date: 08-20-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: With warmth, insight, and an unparalleled gift for finding humor even in stormy situations, beloved author Lauren Myracle dives into the tumultuous waters of sisterhood and shows that even very different sisters can learn to help each other stay afloat. Critic Reviews: "Writing for an older teen audience, Myracle empathetically explores issues of socioeconomic class, sibling rivalry, and parental influence in a story that is deeper and more nuanced than the title and cutesy cover, dotted with rubber ducks and a peace sign, imply. A must-read for fans of Sarah Dessen and Justina Chen Headley." (Booklist Members Reviews: great for teens this is a good, sister to sister read, but it wasnt as light and foo-foo girly that i thought it was going to be. this book actually makes you think. theres some mature sexual themes, and the part of high school no one wants to get suked into. in the book, you are faced with kids who make some bad decisions, a big-bad jerkbutt who *SPOILER hooks up with Anna, some race questioning and philosophy on black racism in a pretige white neighborhood in the south, students brought up in christian schools questioning the religion being stuffed down there throats, helping the poor and what it really means, being who you are and solely you but not being so different youre not yourself, responsibility, and what it really means to be family :) so as you can see, a little bit more than some girly chick flick book, has a little something for everyone. recommended, moms, for mature 13 year-olds at youngest Adorable This book is amazing. Finished it in a day. This book really captures the sisterhood, jealousy, and crushes. It definitely shows its ups and downs in life. Perfect, flawless. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY JK. LOL. Enter. Only 4 stars. It was pretty predictable. SPOILERS FROM HERE ON. The big blast at the end of the book was expected, and so was phony Cole, and how Roger would get the girl of dreams. But that only costed it one star, originally a realistic FIVE. Peace,love and baby ducks. 2words LOVED IT.also I never liked that Cole kid I knew he was a player. And I can't believe voodoo baby died!! It made me cry because it reminded me of my bunny that died. :(((( out of all really nice job but could be more...appropriate. :) Awesome I loved this book. I don't get along with my sister as well as she does in the book, but I still found this book relatable. It is hilarious, and great. SOOOOO GOOD! Really enjoyed this book! Romantic, entrancing, and fun! Super nice read. Sweet story. Defiantly a new fave! I would defiantly read this book again!

Mortal Coil: Skulduggery Pleasant, Book 5 Audiobook by Derek Landy

Title: Mortal Coil: Skulduggery Pleasant, Book 5 Author: Derek Landy Narrator: Brian Bowles Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-10 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 55 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills "The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie. 'We know,' she said. 'We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world'" Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back just in time to see their whole world get turned upside downWhile they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other Members Reviews: ,kll Jjjjjjjjj mn mn Uni uni unjust h h h h h h h n h. H Nh A different narrator While the narration was good, it was rather difficult to get used to a different narrator once you've gotten used to another one for the last 4 books. the voices for each character had gotten familiar but with this book I had to memorize each voice anew. Brian Bowles did, however, do a good job on his narration and picking up such a large project in the middle of it. KEEP AN OPEN MIND The saga of Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain continues with edge-of-your seat suspense and unexpected twists and turns. This book is an excellent addition to the series. While it's true that this narrator fails to live up to the standards of Rupert Degas, he still does a creditable job portraying the various characters. In all fairness, no new narrator could replace Rupert Degas and the deadpan delivery that made Skulduggery Pleasant into the interesting character we knew and loved. I also miss the amusing sound effects and music of the earlier books. It seems that, like the Harry Potter series, as Valkyrie gets older, the story gets darker. I look forward to the next installment in the series. Snarky Dialogue and Humour Go Missing I gave the first three books five stars, but the fourth book did not seem to have the same amount of hilarious dialogue and action and I was concerned that the author was running out of new ideas; I gave it four stars. In this book, Stephanie is 16 years old, and she is dealing with problems appropriate to her age but the snarky dialogue and humour are missing from most of this book. However, Scapegrace and Thrashers efforts to find a way to preserve their bodies is almost worth the purchase price of Mortal Coil, as their quest for a cure is very funny. It made me think of Monty Pythons Dead Parrot skit and I am sure that we will play that part of the book time and time again in our household. I purchased the audio book as a download and it came in 2 six-hour parts. After listening to the first part, I was going to give the book four stars. Not five stars because I felt that some of the violence was inappropriate for the recommended lowest reading age. Unfortunately, the second part was largely taken up with violence that was gruesome and graphic, with very little humour or interesting dialogue.

A strange, creeping sickness, silent and deadly, is threatening the Ravens, whose leader Finn Kedinn has told Torak something of his history. Word arrives that the Seal Clan have the cure and Torak must face a lonely journey across treacherous terrain alive with menace and danger to find it. He must search for the rare herb which is part of the cure and find it by Midsummer. On the Seal's Island he stumbles into a world utterly unlike his own. And here Torak is welcomed by the kindly Seal Mage, Teneris, and kinsman, Bale. But all is not as it seems, Torak must keep his wits about him to judge who might be friend or foe, to face the dark art of the Soul Eaters, who haunt him even in his dreams, and to master his fears. Critic Reviews: "The story grips you like a wolf's jaws and won't let go." (Saturday Times) "Another gripping, taut adventure in the ancient world." (The Herald) Members Reviews: Marvellous <3 Both Michelle Paver and Ian McKellen are transporting us again in Today's world and what a journey ! Wether you're 7, 20 or 80 years old, please do listen to this fabulous audio book ! Better than the first book Now I enjoyed the first book in this series, it was well written, well read and engaging. It did however feel a bit predictable, something that this book makes up for. It keeps the revelations coming right up to the end and while the plot progression is slower I think the story benefits from this, especially as you see relationships forming and breaking. If you liked the first book I'd definately give this one a read. Spirit Walker This is the second book in the series. In this story, Torak comes into contact with the first of the Soul Eaters, an evil group of rennagades thirsty for power and domination over all and whom it is Torak's destiny to destroy. We're also introduced to Bale, a relation of Torak's and a key figure in the series. Michelle Paver moves away from her forest setting of Wolf Brother and explores the world of the sea clans. She does so with her usual skill for description. This is a more than worthy sequel to Wolf Brother. The Sequel to and Excellent First Book A good audiobook. I loved 'Wolf Brother' and would highly recommend it. I feel 'Spirit Walker' did not quite live up to the charm, magic, atmosphere, relationship and character of 'Wolf Brother', but still good. Ian McKellan's narration was excellent in 'Wolf Brother'. He is still good in 'Spirit Walker', but I felt his heart was not in it quite so much. I felt he went a little fast this time, as if perhaps he had other projects to be busy with - as if not quite so engrossed in the story. Still good. Love Ian McKellan as an actor and narrator. I respect Michelle Paver greatly as a writer from reading Wolf Brother. This one was a little gruesome in places, especially for children. I hope Michelle will not rely on shock to hold the reader, rather than the excellent story-telling of the first book. A good story. I will buy the next book. Thank you, Michelle! Thank you Ian! Please keep up the good work! Great! Once again Ian McKellen brings to life the characters and the scenery of this great story. His love for the material and his passion for the job really make things click.

It should be plenty for her two children. But then the doorbell rings - and rings and rings. Each ring of the doorbell brings more friends to share the delicious cookies Ma has made. ©1986 Pat Hutchins; (P)2008 HarperCollins Publishers Members Reviews: The students love this book I purchased this book to use in my 3rd grade math classroom. The students love this book, and it makes the concept of division much more understandable for students. For our lesson, I pass out ziploc bags of "Cookie Crisp" to each student and we do hands-on activities to divide/share the cookies in groups and/or rows. One Star Came bent in a box that was way to small! Who wants bent books Great Lesson in Hospitality I used this book for a Children's Moment at church for World Communion day. It was well received. Cookies illustrate food for thought This is a delightful book. My two and four year old granddaughters just love it! They were taken by the children's generosity in sharing their cookies with a seemingly unending line of friends and relatives. It is great that the ending event reinforces this spirit of generosity. In addition to the idea of sharing, children can also think about and learn a little basic arithmetic. The illustrations are cheerful, colorful, and speak to diversity among people. Much food for thought in this little gem. Adorable, brilliant book Such a cute and fun story. My four year old daughter loves this and asks for it often, which says a lot considering we have an extensive children's library here.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: When a Hag, an orphan boy, and a troll called Ulf get sent to rescue a princess from an ogre, they expect it to be a fairly standard magical mission. But the ogre is depressed, the princess doesnt want to be rescued and the ogres dead wife is turning in her grave. The Norns who rule their fates decide to take things in hand will the Ogre meet a bloody end, or will he get a happy ending? Members Reviews: Ideal for Harry Potter Fans I bought this as a Halloween listen for the 3 and half hour drive to Bristol - crossing my fingers. We'd listened to a few Eva Ibboston and she doesn't disappoint. The result was bliss. My boys (aged 5 and 7) were practically silent the whole way, totally wrapped up in the story. There was some cheering, laughing and an "OH NO" from the back at critical moments, but they loved it. This would be ideal for a Harry Potter fan. A young boy is adopted by a Hag as her familiar, as her toad refuses to do any more magic. The Hag then, unwillingly, is forced to take him on a quest and he ends up in a similar, yet parallel, magical word. All ends happily although, frankly at points, you are left wondering how. There are some scary moments (like Harry Potter) so I would not recommend this for the very young or nervous types. We listened to it on the motor way in pitch darkness, and the effect was electric. Very spooky!

With a pumpkin on its head, the snowman leads him into dangerous places, and with his snowball-throwing skills, he is a handy colleague on a life-threatening journey. Read about skeletons, ghosts, a snoman and other mystical creatures in this action-packed adventure. Members Reviews: what a dandy winter adventure story for kids who also love dogs! I enjoyed your story, with a bit of suspense and adventure. What I didn't like was there was no age of grade level info for a reviewer who does not have any regular school kids so this makes it I think more difficult and tricky to know just who to recommend this book to: of what age and grade level info. I am a newbie children's author and illustrator besides enjoying these types of kids' books which are generally much cleaner stories than some adult books can be. But perhaps say 3rd graders and up to maybe 5th graders. I received this book for free and in return, here is my honest review. Great story though Jeff! By Sunny. Perfect for my kids Perfect for my kids. They liked it. My youngest son is always reading it and telling me about the story. They kept on reading it. Well done.

Title: You May Already Be a Winner Author: Ann Dee Ellis Narrator: Taylor Meskimen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Listening Library (Audio) Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: For fans of Ali Benjamin's The Thing About Jellyfish and Katherine Applegate's Crenshaw comes the humorous and heart-aching story of one girl's struggle to keep hope alive for her and her younger sister in Sunny Pines Trailer Park. Twelve-year-old Olivia Hales has a foolproof plan for winning a million dollars so that she and her little sister, Berkeley, can leave behind Sunny Pines Trailer Park. But first she has to: Olivia has thought of everything...except herself. Who will take care of her when she needs it? Luckily, somewhere deep down between her small intestine and stomach is a tiny voice reminding her that sometimes people can surprise you - and sometimes your family is right next door. Members Reviews: and such an amazing depiction of her setting So many emotions! Ann Dee is a master story teller. I couldnât put this book down. Such real characters, and such an amazing depiction of her setting. Loved it. And yes, I cried on the last page. I knew I would when I first read the summary of this book, and thatâs why I so wanted to read it and at the same time, I avoided it like Iâve been avoiding whatever would crack the shield I put around my heart his year. When I saw the movie Coco two weeks ago, the shield cracked and I survived. It was cathartic. I loved feeling again, so I gave myself permission to dive into this story with Olivia. From the first page I knew I was in good hands. What a superb job, Ann Dee. Youâre my s-hero âïâïâï You'll Laugh and Cry This book will make you laugh and make you cry. Realistic story of a 12 year old who must be the adult in the family, because dad has left and mom is too stressed with trying to cope. She is a spunky, creative, imaginative girl who manages the challenges with optimism and heart, until she doesn't. She has a delightful little sister; she finds good friends to help her; and her parents eventually learn they need to be parents. As an adult I loved this. It taught me to look for children who need the support of adults. While the book treats a very serious topic, it is also very funny. Loved it! This is a Winner! What a spectacular story of struggles and love within a family. I loved the way the author used imagination intertwined with the "reality" of the story--I believe this is a real contender for the Newberry Award! It is a winner already for me! :) A must-read book Ann Dee's writing is exquisite. The voice is amazing and the story is gripping. You will love the book and the unique characters whatever your age. Great read This was a great book, very easy to read, characters were well developed, made me want to laugh and cry.

The Ruby in the Smoke Audiobook by Philip Pullman

Title: The Ruby in the Smoke Author: Philip Pullman Narrator: Anton Lesser Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-08 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: When 16-year old Sally's father drowns in suspicious circumstances, she is left to fend for herself in Victorian London. Although she doesn't know it, she is already in terrible danger. Members Reviews: Heart wrenching, thrilling and darkly mysterious! With the aid of fantastically tactile narration, Pullman captivates us with a dark and intense, yet at times upliftingly jovial, tale of mystery and grimey suspense set against a cruel and industrial Dickensian backdrop, where danger lurks behind every alley way corner. Another excellent Philip Pullman series! Any additional comments? Although historical novels are not usually my forte, this series is lively, interesting, full of well-developed and likable characters and, of course, well written. It's promoted as a "young adults" series but it really isn't. Not for the younger kids for sure as the stories are quite gritty and do not always end well. Philip Pullman has a knack for original writing. Love him! All the elements of a splendid mystery There are several reasons why I liked this book. At less than 7 hours in length, it left me wanting just that little bit more. My reading time and effort weren't wasted ploughing through extraneous material. And yet for such a short book, the characters were drawn well. There is certainly good and evil, but the characters are more than just goodies and baddies. And the mystery isn't just about who murdered Jo Bloggs. There's the heroine's own history, a missing fortune, a lost ship, and a few other mysteries besides. And because the heroine and her friends do the job themselves, we don't have to yawn our way along as police check out alibis etc. On top of this, we learn a bit about mid-Victorian photography as well. A truly jam packed novel that other crime and mystery writers should read. A layered and satisfying listen I was not sure what to expect after "His Dark Materials" which I enjoyed with my children several years ago. There has been a rash of badly written Victorian detective novels throwing shapes at Sherlock Holmes but this is not one of them. As the series unfolds you realise that you are experiencing the work of a master craftsman. Philip Pullman knows how to tell a story and what's more he knows how to write, and then some. The main character is multi dimensional and fully realised maturing and taking responsibility as the books hold an impressive character arc across the stories in each novel. We listened to the first book on a car trip and on reaching our destination purchased the next two available on Audible and consumed over meals and evening relaxation. There is a fourth and we await its recording. The history, social observation, ethical concerns and impacts of technical progress and violence are so skillfully interwoven that you are enlightened before you notice. A rare set of books with perfect narration like this does not come along often so grab it. This series provoked great discussions with my teenage kids. Months later we are still discussing the story, the characters, the ethical questions and the thoroughly enjoyable experience listening to this book and its sequels gave to us as a family. A layered and satisfying listen for everyone. Smoke Clarified As an adult I approached this novel with some reservations. Anton Lesser's rendition (as always)was brilliant so I needn't have worried.

Percy Jackson has had a quiet year. Not a single monster has set foot in his New York school. But when a game of dodgeball turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get . . . well, ugly. And then Percy's friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned, and the only safe haven for young demigods is under threat. To save their camp, Percy and his friends must embark on a quest that will take them into the treacherous Sea of Monsters and a desperate fight for their lives . . . Members Reviews: better than I expected Its not the best book in the series but certainly not the worst one either. My review It was Great I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series thanks for reading my review This narrator is abysmal The story is great but I came so close to turning this off because the narrator is unbelievably annoying. His inflections are all off, leaving sentences hanging in midair like a question for no good reason. His falsetto voice he uses for every female character is also grating. I'd definitely vote you buy the book, and skip this torture!! Good book, shame about the reader... A great children's story - I like how it weaves a modern story in with elements of Ancient Greek Mythology. The main character can be painfully obtuse at times but you don't really mind that too much. I have to say the my only gripe is the person reading it. Maybe it's me but he seems to be awful at putting expression in to dialogue and given that this story is written in the first person it can make it difficult to enjoy. Still, once you do get past the narrator it's still a good yarn. Brilliant!!! Love the Percy Jackson books! I adore Percy, Annabeth and Grover! Love how he adapts the Greek myths for this series!

Her precious dog has been snatched and the kidnappers are demanding that Miss Anning authenticate some fake dinosaur bones up for auction at the British Museum in order to get him back. Ada and Mary have just three days to track down the fossil fakers, find the dog, and save the integrity of science! The game is truly afoot in this quirky caper involving blood-sucking leeches, an asthmatic pug, smoke bombs, secret elevators, diabolical disguises, and wicked word-play. Members Reviews: A smart, educational, and engaging children's book that might lead to some shenanigans . The 3rd of a cute new series for children by Jordan Stratford. I actually enjoyed reading this to children and because my own name is Lovelace (no relation to the historical Countess) it's a nice educational bride to curious kids who ask. The story itself is quite entertaining and has led my one to actually make their own sugar "smoke-bomb" from the book. A harmless thing that made for some good laughs and conversations of elementary chemistry. I highly recommend. My granddaughter loved the book I gave her for Christmas My granddaughter loved the book I gave her for Christmas. She read it in two days. I on the other hand was disappointed in the quality of the book. When I received it, one middle page was folded in half and the pages were all uneven. The story for children would get a 5 star, but the publishing company would get one star for the quality. I have purchased all 4 of the series for her, some paperback. The paperback were better quality and cheaper, but since her Christmas list included a new Wollstonecraft Detective book if there was one, I bought the hard bound. Four Stars I love this entire series! Engaging mystery that is fun for young girls... and adults. Ada and her young friends, including Mary Shelley, have formed the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency solving selected cases. Ada has been sick and has spent much time in bed while the doctor leeches her blood. She realizes that her former governess has held her mail and finally gets a stack. Ada, Mary and friend Jane, start sorting through the letters to decide on their next case. They come across a letter from a famous dinosaur fossil hunter, Mary Adding, whose dog has been kidnapped and decide this is the case. Adaâs fierce grandmother comes home, grounds Ada to bed and ousts her friends and tutor. Now Ada has to creatively get away from the sick bed, sneak out to meet with her friends and try to help Mary find the kidnappers and rescue the dog. Ada is a science whiz and loves math and all sorts of puzzles. She discovers notes that have been written as anagrams and believes that her nemesis is behind the group that is blackmailing Ms. Adding asking her to verify a fake fossil exhibit at the British Museum. It is fun to follow Ada and her friends as they hunt down scoundrels, work on clues and manage some surprising interventions. This is an engaging, fun read/listen even for an adult and would be great for young girls 8-13. Audio Notes: Nicola Barber does a fine job of narration. She captures the sweet voices and accents of the characters.

Title: The Legend of Bass Reeves Subtitle: Being the True and Fictional Account of the Most Valiant Marshal in the West Author: Gary Paulsen Narrator: Dion Graham Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Cowboy stories and movies about the Wild West are full of amazing characters. Yet many of the lawmen we think of as heroes were anything but - some were violent scoundrels and outlaws themselves. Among all the lawmen of the frontier, one man stands out as a true hero: Bass Reeves. In his day, Bass Reeves was the most successful federal marshal in the United States. True to the mythical code of the West, he never drew his gun first. He rounded up hundreds of outlaws and was shot at countless times but was never hit. Bass Reeves was born into slavery. And though the laws of his country enslaved him and his mother, when he became a free man he served the law with such courage and honor that he was known and respected all over the Indian Territory. Gary Paulsens dramatic account of the life of Bass Reeves, through stories both real and imagined, makes him come alive as a boy and a man. Listeners will truly understand why he became a legend. Members Reviews: Real hero of the Wild West Gary Paulsen has found a story of a true American Hero and done a good job of bringing it to light. A quick and informative story perfect for listeners of all ages. Wow!!! What a revealing of the West that has been left on History's past. The truth is out now, we know now who the lone Ranger and others copied!! Best reading of a good book This piece of historical fiction is a great introduction to Bass. I didn't like how it would focus on a few moments of time in length and then just leap to many years later. The end seemed abrupt. As for the narrator, he did an amazing job. The best I've listen to since joining Audible. In fact I'm considering choosing only books he narrates. Bass Reeves, the real and imaged Story! I loved the performance, I loved the story. My 13 year old son also enjoyed the story.

Brett's trapped in a grave world, a world where he's not hardened at all; he's raw. Editorial Reviews: David Tredinnick gives a mesmerizing performance of Scott Monks novel Raw. His sonorous voice and thrilling delivery create a tense, violent, and tender atmosphere. Tough guy Brett Dalton is angry. At every turn, he raises his fists, ready to defend himself. Its Brett versus the world. But one day the law catches up to him. Hes busted for stealing and sent to rehab at The Farm. Hes still angry and hard, but he meets a girl and discovers that maybe hes ready to learn how to love. Members Reviews: troubled teenagers Purchased for child's high school subject book (subject - Change), so I read it for homework help. Found this a quick read but saw so many life changing statements in it for all. I even sent text messages to some (that I knew were reading for same class)about certain passages in the book that might help them personally! I now know why the NSW Department of Education have added Scott Monk to their list of literature for Year 11 and 12. If you have pre-teen/teens (both male and female) hand them this one. I will be reading more of his books, but this time for myself. As for Scott Monk - loved the way he got into writing ... gave me a giggle (past high school days of similar things, unfortunately I didn't take further!!) Raw - a young man's physical and inner journey This is a great young adult's book about belonging, family, friendship and love. It follows the actions and troubles of Brett, a troubled-teen who finds himself at 'the Farm' after a series of crimes. As the title suggests, the story and characters are raw. Set against the harsh Australian outback climate, the heat is both metaphorical and real. A wonderful text to be used in-class for studies in journeys, belonging and gender literacies.

Members Reviews: Brilliant Would you listen to The Titan's Curse: Percy Jackson, Book 3 again? Why? Yes, read the books first, then downloaded them to listen to while traveling. Even had my husband listening to them. What did you like best about this story? Perfect mixture of Greek history, wit, feelings of growing up...very clever and adventurous What about Jesse Bernsteins performance did you like? expressive If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? They did make a film, and changed way too much of the plot. Still trying to work out why. Should have used the producers of 'Harry Potter'. The story is brilliant as is! Any additional comments? age range from 9 - 99!! Awesome to perfection!!! It is amazing how the author balances great characters together with an amazing story, this is by far the most fascinating and well written book I ever read. Amazing *****+++++ I loved it!!! So much better than the films and the performance was great he really brought the world alive, I can't wait for the next one. Narrator lets down a great story love the set of books have now got the entire set. Find them easy to follow. the only let down is the limited range of the narrator. It would be amazing if there was another narrator to pick from but it's not like it will stop me listening. Brilliant!!! Love the Percy Jackson books! I adore Percy, Annabeth and Grover! Love how he adapts the Greek myths for this series!

Brooks is beloved for his Freddy series. In this tale, Freddy and his friends decide to take a trip to Mars. However, things go a little haywire, and Freddy and his pals are knocked off track. This is when the fun begins. John McDonough's festive narration makes listeners feel a part of Freddy's crew to Mars. A pig for all seasons: listen to more of 's adventures. ©1981 Dorothy R. Brooks; (P)2001 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: wow great book I love the Freddy audio books but I like Hardy Boys Moore then Freddy book Not as good as the other Freddy books I read most of these Freddy books as a child, and now that I have children of my own I have an excuse to experience them again. I just love listening to them with my son. But this one caught me a bit off guard. It's interesting from a historical point of view, because of the attitudes of the characters. When they set out for Mars, they intend to colonize the planet and put the citizens under the authority of the United States government. And when Freddy runs into someone from "Mars" for the first time, one of his first reactions is to shoot! I usually enjoy pointing out to my kids how life was so much different - how the bank has a watering trough in front of it (for the horses), and how there are no interstate highways in these books. But I had a much harder time with imperialism and "shoot first" attitudes. As usual, Walter Brooks spins a good yarn, and John McDonough narrates wonderfully. I just found myself shaking my head a bit during this one. Wow How good is that? It's great!! One problem: He sounds old. So old. Really old.

Good Luck, Anna Hibiscus Audiobook by Atinuke

Title: Good Luck, Anna Hibiscus Author: Atinuke Narrator: Mutiyat Ade-Salu Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: This title is the third in the series of delightful stories about Anna Hibiscus, a little girl who lives in Africa. Anna Hibiscus is looking forward to visiting her grandmother in Canada, where she will see snow for the first time! But before she goes, she must find suitable clothes to keep her warm in the cold winter weather, and say goodbye to the family she loves. Anna Hibiscus, the first book in the series, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2008. Members Reviews: We love Anna Hibiscus We love Anna Hibiscus! I'm so sad this series is not more readily available here in the US. I hope it is reprinted, so more people can enjoy these lovely books! Fun with Anna Hibiscus again. Love this whole series, Anna is a sweet little girl with fun stories and a warm, loving family. So enjoyable. Lucky for us This charming series features easy to read, realistic fiction short stories about Anna Hibiscus, an earnest and funny little girl growing up in "Africa. Amazing Africa." She lives with her parents, her extended family, and her two baby twin brothers who simply go by the names, "Double" and "Trouble." In this set of adventures, the onset of harmattan, or the dry season, means that the whole family must learn to conserve water. After carefully saving their water, they are able to keep their garden going... until big-hearted Anna realizes that there are poorer folk living in town who need the water more. In the next story, Double and Trouble more than earn their names when they dip into the candy supply, and leave Anna Hibiscus to take the blame. Finally, in preparation for her upcoming trip to visit her Canadian grandmother, Anna's well-meaning family take her shopping for "oyinbo" clothes to wear in the cold weather. Anna's mother is an oyinbo, or foreigner with white skin, and the whole family wants to make sure that Anna looks good and stays warm for her big trip abroad. While the book never explicitly states what country Anna Hibiscus lives in, or how old she is, I have to assume that she is probably a first-grader, and writer Atinuke says she was inspired by her own childhood growing up in Nigeria. The appealing illustrations which decorate nearly every page and large type make for a comfortable read for readers new to chapter books. I will put this series into the hands of children who are hungry for stories with black characters that are not set during the Civil War, or the 1960's. Lucky for us, warm, relateable, and unique, Anna Hibiscus is certain to take her rightful place beside Junie B. Jones, Clementine, Ruby Lu, Ramona and other classic early middle-grade fiction. Rutgers University Project on Economics and Children Anna Hibiscus lives in a lovely old house in Africa with her twin baby brothers (aptly named Double and Trouble), parents, aunties, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. With all these people, Anna is never lonely, and everyone does what they can to contribute to the needs of the household. Their compound, which encloses the most beautiful garden that Anna has ever seen, is nestled in a busy city filled with markets, lagoons, roads, skyscrapers, and shanty towns. In this setting, Anna navigates through a series of adventures and learning moments that take her anywhere from the garden to the market and well beyond, even to Canada where her mother was born.

Brilliant Audiobook by Roddy Doyle

Title: Brilliant Author: Roddy Doyle Narrator: Stephen Hogan Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-15 Publisher: Oakhill Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: When Uncle Bens Dublin business fails, Gloria and Raymond realise something is wrong. So when the children overhear their granny saying the Black Dog has settled on Bens back, and he wont be OK until its gone, they decide theyre going to get rid of it , and they set out on a midnight quest to hunt it down and chase it away. But loads of other children are searching for it too, because the Black Dog is hounding lots of Dublins adults. Together the children manage to corner the Black Dog...but will they have the courage and cleverness to destroy the frightening creature? Critic Reviews: "The children of Dublin battle a terrible malaise through the use of a special word, and a good dose of magic realism." (The Bookseller) "In a word? Brilliant! Of course." (NetGalley) "Quite simply, the greatest children's book I have ever read." (Dubray Books) "A profound story about the effect of despair on society is touched with magic and humour by best-selling Roddy Doyle." (Julia Eccleshare, LOVEREADING4KIDS.CO.UK) "An uplifting book with lots of fine Doyle wit ." (DAILY TELEGRAPH DAILY TELEGRAPH) "A heart-warming tale told with the author's trademark humour." (The Guardian) Members Reviews: Something fantastic for all ages One of my favorite things in books as Iâve grown older is when a city (or urban landscape) is so deeply a part of the story and atmosphere that it becomes a character in its own right. When I was a kid, not so much. Then I mostly cared about fantasy landscapes, about going through the wardrobe into somewhere different, with a MAP! (and dragons, if at all possible). Roddy Doyleâs depiction of Dublin in Brilliant, is the happy medium between those two. Readers can hear the life of the city, feel it, see it in the eyes of his characters. At the same time, itâs not overpowering. Character voices (including that of a meerkat named Kevin) steal the spotlight in this charming, modern middle grade fantasy. Gloria and her older brother Raymond (Rayzer for short) are mostly happy, even when theyâre squabbling. They know life in Dublin has changed, but they donât know what caused it. When their Uncle Ben comes to live with the family, they are determined to learn why, even as they enjoy his presence. On one eventful night, they and the other children of Dublin run the town, from the zoo to the water â meeting talking animals, learning the power of language, and chasing the specter of an enormous black dog. When I finished this book, I couldn't help but grin at the joy it brought me and the laughter and tears it provoked. In that moment I didn't care who it was written for, I just knew that it had been a good read. Not five minutes later, I was deep in conversation with two wonderful fellow bloggers, and they lamented a new rash of middle grade fiction that seems to be written "for adults" rather than children. I let that digest a bit, and by the end of the night I was afraid that my glorious experience with Brilliant meant that it was indeed "one of those" books. I've been thinking about it ever since, actually. And here's what I've decided: 1) Yes, the story has a "moral" and at times reads a bit like a fable about how children can cure the ills of the world (and that's not a message I endorse 110% but we'll leave it for now). 2) It will appeal equally to adults AND children.

Skulduggery Pleasant Audiobook by Derek Landy

Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture. Will evil win the day? Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long enough to stop it? One thing's for sure: evil won't know what's hit it. Critic Reviews: "The balance between humour and danger is well handled in Derek Landy's fun, fast-paced fantasy." (The Guardian) Members Reviews: Dark Magic & a talking skeleton The novel is a good novel, albeit it starts off a bit slowly and predictively. But once it gets off, it is quite interesting, with Skullduggery Pleasant providing a lot of smart remarks and replies. It almost feels like you are reading a movie script rather than a novel with the amount of action involved. On the good side, it has quite a few twists and turns, and the writer has used a lot of formulae (but not often used ones). The only criticism is that, it uses about the "true name" and "taken name" concept which has been mentioned in quite a few novels, whether it is Eragon series or Barthemeus the djinn's serries. Apart from that, its a good read if you like Buffy the Vampire slayer type stuff (with a bit more humour and wit). Funny & Entertaining I had a few odd looks from my family as I burst out laughing while listening to this book. Rupert Degas has a brilliant voice that brought all the characters uniquely to life. Thoroughly enjoyable! Not my cup o tea, didn't think it baby young adult This is certainly entertaining, and the narration is great. But I'd rather read a Pratchett. All the bits of this individually make for entertainment, it's just that all together they don't stand out as anything vaguely new or novel. Everything has been done before, better. Didn't finish it. Skullduggery Pleasant Would you consider the audio edition of Skulduggery Pleasant to be better than the print version? Yes I do. Having all the characters played out with individual voices make the story come alive . What did you like best about this story? My favourite part was all the witty one liners, they were very funny and I did laugh listening to them. The arguments between Skullduggery and Stephanie were also hilarious. What about Rupert Degass performance did you like? He was excellent. His voice was perfect for Skullduggery.. It had the right amount of sarcasm and experience.. It was easy to imagine him as the older wiser person in their friendship. His voice could be very creepy at times which set the scene on more then one occasion. At other times his voice was very droll. Perfect for who he was playing. I was not sure at the beginning if I would like a man reading the parts of Stephanie but it really worked!, he was great at it.After a while I forgot that it was a man reading female voices. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh.

But when it nearly sinks, out spill all the animals. Luckily, they make it to a nearby island. And there they happily settle in - until the mean old circus owner tries to round them up. ©2009 Chris Van Dusen; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: Our favorite children's book author and illustrator Mr Van Dusen's books are wonderful- we have time all! Fun, lyrical rhymes with great inventive stories and cheerful hilarious art. Actually fun for the adult to read. My kids 2- 4 love his books. This circus one has an especially fun page where the townspeople are trying to hide the circus animals so the mean ringmaster can't force them back to work for him...the animals are all cleverly camouflaged and our preschooler's had great fun finding them all. This is an author that never seems to get lazy with his stories. Randy Riley's really big hit, and If I built a car are two of our favorites, but they are all great. King Hugo's really big ego is great too! This was a favorite book of the buyer at a local children's store ... This was a favorite book of the buyer at a local children's store - and we have to agree that it was fun, had a compelling story that rolled off the tongue and wonderful illustrations. All three children (2, 5 and 8) like it - but it's a favorite of the 5 year who especially loves the pages where you have to find all the silly places the animals are hiding from the ridiculously bad circus master. Recommend! Love it! I heard great things about this book and bought it based on these recommendations as a birthday present for my niece. My own children (ages 2.5 and 5) saw it before I had a chance to wrap it and wanted to read it. They were both engaged as we read and we had to look back on the illustrations several times to spot all the little details Van Dusen includes in his work. I will more than likely be buying another copy for us to add to our own library! Perfect birthday party gift go-to I have started giving this book as sort of a standard go to birthday gift for kids birthdays. It's a great story with fabulous illustrations, appeals to both boys and girls, and is fun for a parent to read. It's slightly obscure enough that most people probably don't already own it, and I just love books that have rhyming verse. We love this book We love this book! Chris van Dusen is one of our favorite authors. His stories are so easy to read and rhyme in a great way. The illustrations are also fantastic! My kids love finding the animals in the pictures.

Not much, is the answer. But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, its tense, and its packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces youve come to expect. Theres a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But thats not all. Theres also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy whos going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.) And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.) Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones dimension? Who knows. The problem is, he may not have much to come back to. Members Reviews: Almost totally fab I do love the Skulduggery Pleasant series, such witty and well plotted adventures and this is one of my favourite stories. Rupert Degas is a wonderful narrator; he really creates an image of the characters and they have stayed with me as I've gone on and read the paper versions of the subsequent installments. I think it's a shame Degas didn't stay on to voice these. Having said that, there are a few occasions where he does the wrong voice for the character (notably getting Remus Crux and Springheeled Jack mixed up in conversation, which is a bit confusing). I can live with it though, because everything else is perfect. Very enjoyable Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Derek Landy became my favorite writer. I enjoyed the story and Rupert Degas was an amazing narrate. I love to listening this story while on the way to/from school. 5*! Who was your favorite character and why? Skulduggery and Valkerie are my favorites Which character as performed by Rupert Degas was your favourite? All slight glitch but otherwise brilliant Great book, Mainly well read and Rupert Degas has done brilliantly in previous titles, a little let down in this one as the wrong voices are used in a particular scene which distracts some what. Looking forward to the next title. Wow Wow this is a amazing book and the the reader was so good at the voices he really got me into the story. Really brilliant but some issues with the voices Another great performance given for a fantastic story. Brian Bowles really nails the different Irish dialects. On occasion he accidentally assigned the wrong voice to the wrong character but apart from that it was great

Title: Across the Barricades Author: Joan Lingard Narrator: Gerard Murphy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 06-11-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Kevin and Sadie just want to be together, but its not that simple. Things are bad in Belfast. Soldiers walk the streets and the city is divided. No Catholic boy and Protestant girl can go out together - not without dangerous consequences. So what will happen if they insist on seeing each other? A powerful, gripping love story set against the troubled background of Northern Ireland, from acclaimed author Joan Lingard. Members Reviews: Belfast's Romeo and Juliett Rarely do young adult books have the plotting, characterization and gravitas to reach beyond the teen years but Across the Barricades does so beautifully. Written in the early 70's, it really stands the test of time. Sadie Jackson is a Protestant teen living in Belfast during the upheaval of bombings, barricades and fear. She is spunky, charming, blunt and courageous. She meets her old friend Kevin McCoy by happenstance and the two immediately renew their lapsed friendship. Kevin is a sweet Catholic boy living a few streets away from Sadie but it might as well be a few thousand miles. They both recognize their friendship will not be well received by either of their families. These two fall in love and their romance is sweet against the nightmarish backdrop of violence around them. Soon, though, neighbors are alerted to their relationship and what is an innocent romance becomes a rallying cry for bigotry and suspicion. Sadie is unafraid of accusations hurled at her from neighbors but she is worried about Kevin as he faces much more danger than she does in his part of Belfast. Kevin's neighbors see his relationship with Sadie as nothing short of traitorous. Help comes to these two from an unexpected source and amidst all the turmoil they make an oasis of peace but how long can this possibly last? The author does a fine job of weaving this couple's romance into the story. What is especially well written are the wonderful dialogues between Sadie and Kevin. They interact very realistically and their conversations exhibit the long standing prejudices they have grown up with their entire lives. Kevin and Sadie argue about their faith and Ireland but wonderfully they realize that what binds them together is stronger than what keeps them apart. Two Religions - One Problem !!! I think "Across the barricades" is a very good and exiting book about two young people with big problems. Sometimes you can't imagine that only the religion could be such a big problem. You also won't believe, that there are people who don't like this friendship and that they use weapons against it. It's not only a story - it's true and that's very sad. And it is fantastic that they have the power to go through it. I also like that there are people who have no problems with this relationship and that they help them in these hard times. It's a pitty that this friendly people have to die ... only because one person doesn't like a friendship between a Catholic and a Protestant. But finaly it's a happy ending but you don't know if they will have the chance to live a better life in an other city. I'm glad that my english-teacher had offered me the chance to read this wonderful book in his very interesting english-lessons. A great and interesting book I didn't expect to read about Sadie and Kevin, until I got into a local library and saw it by chance.This book, I consider, is the best among the Sadie and Kevin series.

Top one What other book might you compare Island III to and why? the other island books Any additional comments? I really need you to put a audio book for Dive book one to three because i really have a problem reading and if you do this i will buy them of course please i need it.The reason i can't read well is because i had brain surgery and it got close to were my reading part of the brain is and they need to cut some of that out.The reason i had surgery is because i have epilepsy.So please can you do that for me. Fun book: I enjoyed a book with good old fashion storytelling We enjoyed the whole series, and the finale did not disappoint. Although predictable, it was done so with the intent to speak to its target audience. I can not fault a storyteller that keeps that mind in content and in execution. my kids absolutely loved this adventure Loved every second of this and couldn't wait to see how they escaped! Lots of "what if" conversation!

It is a great app suitable for all age groups. Easy to use and good quite sound too. Really enjoyed!! Another fabulous book by MM - fantastically narrated. Really enjoyed and know my class will too! Friend or Foe I loved the fact that this was an unabridged version which allowed me to use it as a whole class text within my classroom and the children were able to follow along. It is well read and the character voices were good. The length is good and I'm sure would be a great addition to any childs collection. Wonderful feel-good factor book I loved the dulcet Devon tones of this narrator, and Morpurgo's endearing plotline once again.

I love it excellent loved it very good book not very long easy listen. great for children too will definitely have listen again! !! Highly recommend I had this book and audiobook as a child and happily listen to or read it again now. The story is well-crafted and moving, and the narration by Malahide is one of the best I've heard. The abridgement is also well-handled and maintains the crux of the story whilst cutting the length to a digestible amount. Music interludes throughout to break up the story into sections are a welcome edition. I'd recommend this story to young teens specifically and anyone who is looking for genuine poignancy in their audiobook.

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . . Members Reviews: Terrible narrator Would you try another book written by Rick Riordan or narrated by Walter Lewis? We were really excited for this book, but the narrators voice was nauseating! Couldn't get past the first 20 minutes. Very disappointing. Waste of money How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? A different narrator. Not clear this was abridged version! That was a waste of money for an abridged version - would have been nice if it was marked CLEARLY as much. The narration was also really annoying with all of the background sound effects. Butchered a good story. Great story, disappointing narration If you could sum up The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson, Book 1 in three words, what would they be? Exciting, innovative, strong What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson, Book 1? The battle with the Minotaur is well written and the one part that is particularly well narrated What three words best describe Walter Lewiss voice? Whiney, irritating, urgent Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Easily listened to in ine sitting if you have the time. Any additional comments? A great story unfortunately spoiled by a below standard narration.

I like to use more than one version for each story we read... and this paired wonderfully with the traditional 'billy goats gruff'. In both stories, the troll is tricked. This one has pirates. We also used the book for the TR blend- trip, trap, troll, trick, treasure. This is also one of our favorite authors! Two Stars Kids and I enjoy most Donaldson's books but this one was ehh. Five Stars Great author; Great book! eh. Huge fans of Julia Donaldson in this house. My kids 3.5 and 1.5 love this book but I don't! It drags on and is repetitive without the signature rhyming she is so fantastic at. So until they can read it to themselves, 3 stars. One of her worst Love most of Donaldsons books, this one not included. My daughter likes it though

In a brave attempt to find out where he belongs, Twig wanders into the mysterious, fascinating, and sometimes hazardous world beyond the Deepwoods. In his travels he encounters myriad peculiar creatures, like his wise guardian, the Caterbird; the Slaughterers, a peaceful race who butcher animals for their livelihood; and the vicious, bile-swilling Rotsucker. Always mindful of the Gloamglozer, whose presence haunts the thoughts of all the inhabitants of The Edge, Twig pursues his quest until he discovers his roots, not among the trees, but in the skies. With his new allies, the Sky Pirates, Twig prepares to embark on his next adventure. ©1998 Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell; (P)2005 Random House Audiobooks Critic Reviews: "In the Tolkien/Pratchett tradition...written with more than usual elegance." (Sunday Times) Members Reviews: five star this is a great read and a must for those who are harry pottered out. funny and just keeps you wanting more All amazing I'm revisiting this book after reading it as a child, it is still really good! The narrator's performance is excellent, and certainly helps create just the experience I was looking for. An old friend found again Had this book on cassette and loved it then and still love the story although the narrator wasn't as good as the first one I heard I still enjoyed this story. we loved it.. fantastic... some very sad and Stressful moments. my ten year old daughter loved it too.. constant adventure. really keeps you on your toes. A genuinely wonder-ful tale Would you listen to Beyond the Deepwoods again? Why? At some point, not doubt! What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond the Deepwoods? The heroic gesture of a surprise furry friend (don't want to give the story away here!) What does Michael Praed bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Well read - a light touch but compelling all the way. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I read this book years ago when it first came out and loved it - the weirdness and the wonder. There is a hint of Alice in Wonderland about it. Magical. Any additional comments? A delightful story that concludes by the end of the book... but then continues on with further books and stories of Twig and other heroes of the world. I do recommend reading the books too, if only to see the beautiful illustrations by Chris Riddell.

Critic Reviews: "An author who has worked hard not to be identified too closely with any particular genre, she has built a complex and challenging novel around an alternative version of apartheid." (The Scotsman) Members Reviews: Compelling teen reading This was my daughter`s favorite book when she was 13. I enjoyed listening to it - the actors are talented and the story moves quickly, if occasionally predictably. Some of the themes are more suited for older teens, but my kids were fine with them. I recommend this for kids 12-15. GREAT BOOK This was a very extent rich book it had a few plot lines that all link at the end it starts slow stick with it IS GETS GREAT Great Read This was a good book that was excellently transposed to an audio book by using 2 readers. Highly recommended for teenagers and adults alike. Awesome Never before has a book made such a powerful impression on me. This book is literally without fault and should be made compulsary reading for absolutely everyone. The ending is so moving that I cried out load and no book has ever done that to me before. Seriously it is that good, I defy anyone not to be moved by this awesome masterpiece. Othello Absent Many thoughts, observations and questions to interest anyone with an open mind. On a cheeky note and given that all things in the 0X0 world are essentially the same as ours - Inversion and State brutalism notwithstanding - I bet the pejorative for Crosses makes Macbeth an 'interesting' watch.

When their parents get new jobs at a grand, fusty old boarding school, Melchester College, the girls have to move there and when they arrive, things start to change. Jodie has always been the leader but now it's Pearl who's making new friends. Jodie just seems to be getting into more and more trouble arguing with Mum, scaring the little children, flirting with the gardener. She really doesn't fit in with the posh teenagers at the school. Pearl begins to wonder if she needs Jodie as much as she used to. But when Firework Night comes around and a tragic event occurs, Pearl realises just how much Jodie means to her. Members Reviews: Amazing audio Brilliant audio!! A few sad parts especially a big one at the end, so I would say 9-15 year olds!!!! Good but.... If you are 10 or over I think you will really like it.but if you are under 10 I advise you don't get it because it is quite upsetting at the end. Not for young children Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? My daughter listens to stories at bedtime, she is 7. She has listened to lots of JW's books before and loves them, I had no hesitation in buying this when I heard the sample and read the blurb. BUT now my daughter is so distressed due to some of the content. I am so upset and wish I'd have listened to it before. Where does it say how old the reader should be? This needs to be clearer. I listened to the first chapter with my daughter and it seemed a little more grown up than books she had listened to before but nothing that I didn't want to expose her to as she is growing up. However the storyline is very very upsetting and there should be some warning in the blurb. My sister Joidie My sister Jodie is a good story but it has a very sad ending that could make you cry My sister Jodie I think that this story is very depressing at times and quite exciting at other times, I also think that the best part was when they moved to Melchester Collage because it was such an adventure for both Pearl and Jodie. But I was so grieved when Jodie had her accident.

Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now Audiobook by Lauren Child

Title: Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now Author: Lauren Child Narrator: Claire Skinner Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-13 Publisher: Hachette Children's Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: A superly good audio edition of this bestselling Clarice Bean novel. Read by Claire Skinner, star of the hit BBC series Outnumbered. It's the worry you hadn't even thought to worry about that should worry you the most. At least that's how it looks to Clarice Bean, who has been writing her worries in a notebook - things like Worry no. 1: infinity, or Worry no. 3: change. And now that her worst never-imagined worry has happened - her utterly best friend is moving away forever - Clarice doesn't even care about her tickets to the Ruby Redfort, girl detective, film premiere. That is, unless something happens to change things again... Lauren Child's trademark wit combines with spot-on insight in this hugely engaging story about childhood worries, unwanted changes and finding friendships in the most surprising places. Critic Reviews: "Witty and charming. We can't get enough Clarice Bean." (The Sunday Times) Clarice Bean fans will be delighted by her new adventures... Anxieties such as "change" and "having to go back to school after the holidays" will be recognised by everyone, while her ways of approaching them are delightful. - The Guardian A hugely enjoyable and touching read. - The Scotsman A comic and poignant journey. - The Sunday Times Funny, contemporary and perceptive. - The Mail on Sunday Genuinely funny, with lively illustrations. - The Independent Members Reviews: this book is a really good book.!. this book is a really good book and I love this book it's funny and its like someone's real life and I think the book is real and the book is about a real person to me and this book is very nice! ET OOK EE I OE TI OOK EE IT I O Y GE I OE TI OOK EE TOG I 13 EE IT I IIT K O O T TOGETE TO KE TOY Brilliant Love this story xxx soo much and it is my fav lauren child book and really recommend 10/10 xx Utterly Brilliant - should be a children's classic This is a great book (not just a Children's book) superbly read by Claire Skinner. The first two Clarice Bean stories are very good, but this one tackles childhood concerns - Bullying, Loss of a close friend, feeling outside the group, and fear of a parental divorce - in a way that is totally appropriate to the age group it's ostensibly written for (7-10), while also drawing in parents and older children. Clarice in particular is a very real character, and her worries will become your worries. Lauren Child's trademark humour is still there, but it's device that provides relief when it seems the narrative is getting too grim. Possibly the best book I've downloaded from Audible in terms of both story and narration.

Angel Audiobook by L. A. Weatherly

Weatherly Narrator: Laurel Lefkow Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Alex is a ruthless assassin - of angels. Forget everything youve heard about them before. Angels are not benign celestial creatures, but fierce stalkers whose irresistible force allows them to feed off humans, draining them of their vitality. As far as Alex is concerned, the only good angel is a dead angel... until he meets Willow. She looks like a normal teenager but Willow is no ordinary girl. Half-angel, half-human, Willow may hold the key to defeating the evil angels. But as the hunter and the hunted embark on a dangerous journey and Willow learns the dark secrets of her past, Alex finds himself drawn to Willow... with devastating consequences. A heart-pounding, suspenseful story for older children from debut author L.A. Weatherly. Members Reviews: Amazing I only wish I could give this book a higher rating. Five stars doesn't seem nearly generous enough. Angel is the story of a group of beings who visit our Earth to feed off humans and bring death and disease in their wake, while convincing their victims that they're actually divine, loving beings. The scary thing is it's almost believable. Set against them our Alex, an AK (angel killer) and Willow, a half human half angel whom Alex has swarn to protect. This is the most origional fantasy I've read since Mortal Instruments. I thought no one could equal Jace, the hero of Mortal Instruments, but I think Alex might actually give him a run for his money. The interaction between the two main protagonists is brilliant and the unfolding romance is beautifully done. This book took me a little while to get into but once I did, I couldn't put it down. The book is billed as a young adult novel, but adults will love it too. This is the author's debut novel and all I can say is if she can do this good a job with her first book, then I can't wait for her second. Dreadful This book is only getting a one star rating as its not possible to give no stars, or minus stars. Where to start, this is without a doubt the worst book I have ever had the misfortune to come across. The story was dreadfully poor, it had no substance and felt very childish. At least twenty percent of this book had to be made up of, "I love you, and I love you, too." It was said so many times it was ridiculous. The two main characters came across as if they were about 11 or 12. The multiple points of view were awful and to be honest the style of writing grated on me from the start. I am gutted that I purchased all three books in the series before listening to the first one. I definitely will not be listening to the last two. You couldn't pay me enough. I only made it through this one because I've never not read a book through to the end. New take on Angels This is the story of a girl called Willow who discovers she's a half angel and is the only one who can save the world from the soul sucking angels. Along the way Willow discovers an angel killer called Alex has been hunting angels since he was five years old and after killing his family, he hates all angels, until he comes across a half angel, half human girl who is beyond beautiful and everything he thought he knew about angels. Angel, as it is called in the UK, is the start of a trilogy that is the journey of teenagers trying to save the world whilst finding themselves along the way.

I think reading the book would have been good but hearing this particular book is amazing. I haven't really thought about what it was like to be 11 years old but in listening to this book - I was suddenly back there! The actress who plays the main character Chirp has an incredible ability to express the nuances of a child's feelings in her spoken word. Really great imagery and a very creative dialogue and expression of feelings. I don't understand why it is recommended only for 10 year olds - any adult would appreciate the story and the characters in this book. What other book might you compare Nest to and why? Don't know of any. What about Jenna Lamias performance did you like? Everything about Jenna's performance was well done. As I said I haven't really thought about what it was like to be 11 years old but in listening to this book - I was suddenly back there! Jenna Lamia has has an incredible ability to express the nuances of a child's feelings in her spoken word. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes I stayed up late two nights! Any additional comments? Esther Ehrlich's writing ability and character development is phenomenal. This is her first book! Wow she has a great skill. great narrator, good story enjoyed the details of life on the salt marsh. very good characters drew me into the story Disappointing Language a bit crude for me. No warning beforehand. Story might have been interesting but I stopped.

Fox, Badger, Toad, Tawny Owl, Mole and the other animals band together and leave their ancestral home and set off to move to a far-away nature reserve. Their journey is full of adventure and fraught with disasters: a fire, a storm, a treacherous river crossing and a hunt. The animals must unite in adversity and in doing so they learn about each others habits and limitations. This is a story about tolerance, cooperation, survival and friendship from Colin Dann, which inspired the major BBC childrens series of the 1990s. The Animals of Farthing Wood is one of the most popular animal stories in childrens literature and is still in print nearly 35 years after first publication. Members Reviews: Animals of farthing wood is epic!! A five star performance five star story and also it have been listening to it for months Brilliant book Remember reading this as a child, loved it then, more so now - you can truly appreciate the brutal honesty aimed at us greedy humans. This is when kids books where real Remember reading this as a child, the book that got me into reading. This audio version is true to the text and the alternate voices for chapters is a nice change. Forgot just how brutal the story is though considering it's aimed at very small children (the animal characters for instance are just name after their species, so you get Fox, Badger and Mole). It is true to life though and I think children will like the fact it's not a whitewashed sanitised view of the animal kingdom. It has dated a little though (for instance on the male characters are allowed a drink when they find the alcoholic beverage) but it's off its time and there's nothing too bad in it. Brilliant It had existing parts and crazy parts but some of it was a bit sad what a amazing story one of those lovely old tale's where you just get lost in the story making friends along the way Never wanted it to finish

Title: Helping Hercules Author: Francesca Simon Narrator: Mark Perry Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-06 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Susan is whisked back through time to Ancient Greece, and finds that helping Hercules clean the Augean stables is much, much worse than tidying her room. One hair-raising experience follows another as she goes down into the Underworld with Orpheus, just misses being turned to stone by Medusa, and rides on the winged horse Pegasus. This is both a fabulously funny story and a brilliant way to introduce children to eight of the best-known Greek myths. Susan meddles in each of the myths, taking a dim view of the gods and goddesses and heroes she encounters, but gets out in the nick of time, so the myths themselves remain unchanged and will be remembered vividly by their readers. Members Reviews: Great fun We all enjoyed listening to this on a long journey - the grown-ups enjoying recognising the original myths and the children hearing great stories for the first time. Great for 5-9 yrs Great introduction to ancient greek myths. It is a funny tale, well written and well read.

Title: Christmas at Grandma's Author: Donald Davis Narrator: Donald Davis Format: Abridged Length: 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-00 Publisher: August House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: The warmth of the Christmas season is condensed into this single collection that will rekindle your Christmas memories. Who doesn't remember Christmas at Grandma's? The living room aglow with family and friends, the kitchen like a factory of sweet aromas, the relatives everywhere! Donald Davis captures the spirit of Christmas as seen through the eyes of a child in these stories: "Christmas in Sulpher Springs", "The Children's Christmas Party", "The Year My Brother Almost Died", and "The Red Scooters." ©1994 Donald Davis; (P)1994 August House Publishers, Inc. Editorial Reviews: From the delightfully entertaining delivery to the works themselves, nostalgia permeates these charming stories of bygone Christmases in the American South. Adding to the atmosphere are lovely piano interludes between each short work. Storyteller Donald Davis's accent and delivery enhance his fine writing. The word "squeak" is most satisfactorily pronounced, just as we imagine it should be. Listeners will laugh out loud when a child playing a sheep in the Nativity play utters "waa, waa, waa" so convincingly that his proud grandma brags that little Junior got his lines down perfectly. Add this sweet confection to your Christmas listening plans. Critic Reviews: "Donald Davis collects, creates, and tells stories that evoke memories of special people and places in the lives of those who hear them." (Jimmy Neil Smith, Editor, Homespun: Tales from America's Favorite Storytellers) Members Reviews: Old Fashioned fun I love Donald Davis. I have listened to many of his stories in the past and this is a sweet Christmas treat for the family. I loaned it to friends to share the joy and they all loved it too. Not one of his funniest. Some of his stuff had me rolling on the floor laughing. But very sweet and would make a great Christmas gift. Delightful! I love Donald Davis's storytelling tapes about his Appalachian childhood, and this one is no exception. "Christmas at Grandma's" is a 45-minute tape that has 3 autobiographical stories on it, told in Davis's engaging drawl. My 7-year-old daughter has typically zoned out when I've tried to share books-on-tape with her, but she was immediately taken with this one, and has listened to it 3 times now. Then we loaned it to a friend, and she and her kids listened to it 3 times as well. Perfect for a family holiday car trip!

Her sisters, Phil and Maddie, are bigger and stronger and better at just about everything. Luckily they look after teeny-tiny Tina wherever they go--but when the girls start in scary, super-strict Miss Lovejoy's class, they're split up, and Tina has to fend for herself for the first time. Tina is horrified when she's paired up with angry bully Selma, with whom nobody wants to be friends. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn't always need her sisters--and that there's a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye. Critic Reviews: "A brilliant writer of wit and subtlety." (The Times) "She should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance." (The Independent on Sunday) "Has a rare gift for writing lightly and amusingly about emotional issues." (The Bookseller) Members Reviews: Good Good book and audiobook. I am 16, but I am still an avid Jacqueline Wilson fan. when this came out I obviously had to get it. despite the target age group of this book, I still found myself wanting to read to the end. It was a lovely story.very realistic for that age, and the narrator was good.also, I like the way Wilson introduces cast characters into her stories. What character or characters is it? Your have to listen to find out. whahahahaha. Love love loved this book My 8 year old daughter says this was a fab book. She listened non-stop and even turned down a movie so she could carry on listening. A new Jacqueline Wilson fan here! Wow! Is all I can say! The butterfly club was amazing I thought that girls aged 7-10 would really appreciate it Great book It was fantastic and good . I didn't like it when Tina went to Selma's house for tea.It was also good to mentioned Ruby and Garnet (Double Act).Can Jacqueline Willson link up other characters from different books together . So good I didn't like it when Selma lied to Tina about the baby. But I did like when they Selma and Tina and Maddy And Fill went television and saw ruby red I would recommend this book to anyone who has trouble getting to sleep especially children like my 2 daughters. And I choose this rating because I defiantly think it's a good story!I hope you think it is

Set in the usual english village, probably in the late forties or early fifties, the characters are described so well that one feels as though the little episodes personally involve one. The narrator has such warmth in her voice. I loved them both. Miss Read christmas classics. The Christmas Mouse and No Holly for Miss Quinn are classic Miss Read christmas stories evoking memories of christmas past that can be enjoyed again and again. Miss Read's characters are usually ordinary everyday folk that value good sense together with old fashioned ideals and Gwen Watford's superb narration brings those characters to life. wonderful as with all miss read books Christmas mouse What did you like most about The Christmas Mouse and No Holly for Miss Quinn? These are old favourites of mine. Good old fashioned stories. I have read them many times. It was nice to hear them read aloud. What did you like best about this story? They remind me of my own childhood. Simple times, Christmas as it should be, without the huge expensive gifts. What about Gwen Watfords performance did you like? Gwen Watford reads very well. A pleasant voice. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The stories made me feel very nostalgic. A lovely gentle book Miss Read evokes a world that doesn't exist anymore (and probably never did) which feels gentler and less pressured than the the present day. These two stories were beautifully read and enjoyable. It is the perfect feel good book.

But even as she does so, Makepeace engineers a dramatic coup d'etat. The outcome is a shattering of the magicians' control as all magical laws are turned upside down. Can Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty settle old scores if they survive - and prevent the earth's destruction? Critic Reviews: "Literate, entertaining, and exciting." (School Library Journal) "The trilogy wraps up with excitement, adventure and an unexpected wallop of heart and soul." (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Awesome. Just Awesome The final part in the Bartimaeus Trilogy and how I wish there were more! The kids love it, the parents love it. Beautifully read and a fabulous story to boot. It is great to find a magical fantasy that bears absolutely no resemblance to Harry Potter... This should be heard after the first two parts (The Amulet of Samarkand and The Golem's Eye) as it picks up the story where the last book leaves off. The story does stand alone but there is not much repetition and without the background from the first two books, this will be harder to follow. Just get it! Narrator Simon jones could make any book sound interesting. This does not apply to this book however which does not require a fantastic narrator to spur on its merits. Well written, well read, badly interpreted An excellent trilogy, brilliantly read by Steven Pacey, full of wit, intelligent commentary and a great story. Unfortunately, large chunks have been dropped to cut down on the overall length, meaning that many of the best, most memorable moments have been sacrificed to save time. A great disappointment. Flawless!!! A fantastic story, wonderfully read. Absolutely flawless. I think this is the best series I have downloaded in 5 years plus of listening to Audible with about 600 books in my library. The ending, what a shocker!!!!! I would LOVE to hear more about Bartimaeus. Why isn't Jonathan Stroud as famous as J K Rowling? Where are the films? MUCH MUCH better than Harry Potter in every way. I can't enthuse about this series of books enough! Don't be put off by the age of the protagonists, I'm nearly 50 and I enjoyed it a much as my 11 and 13 year olds. I am now a total fan of Jonathan Stroud. Many more books. Please!!! Great listen Prefer the first one over the second one.

Eventually, after an unbearable birthday party and the very real threat of Dad's out-of-control temper, Mum and Beauty run away. Finding themselves in a quiet, idyllic seaside village, their new-found freedom and a moment of culinary inspiration give them a hobby, an income and even a new nickname for Beauty. Can they begin a happier, sweeter life without Dad? Members Reviews: Love! Great story, with a wonderful central character. Very positive message for young girls too-be yourself. Also, love flinty Williams as the narrator too. Fun Cool book but very sad I would hate to have a dad like Cookie Quite good Cookie Quiet good but too sad for children And too long and the way she says it is boring Why I liked this audio book This was a great audio book I loved the sound and how there were no sound effects. I thought that maybe there could be a trio audio but that has nothing to do with this one . Great book I got it for my daughter and she really enjoyed it.i would recommend it to8+

Indigo's Star Audiobook by Hilary McKay

Title: Indigo's Star Author: Hilary McKay Narrator: Helen Lederer Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 06-03-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: It's two years since Saffy found her angel, and now her brother, Indigo, the only boy in the Casson family, has a quest of his own. He's helped by his new school pal and of course his ever-resourceful younger sister. Members Reviews: More charming Casson family ups and downs More ups in this one, especially for Indigo. Rose develops a very definite personality, and the siblings gain a new friend. Another great book about the adorable Casson kids and their selfish pig parents As always, the Casson kids are courageous, delightful, complex, funny, resourceful, creative, etc. And their parents are criminally neglectful selfish pigs. What the father does at the end of the book does not mitigate his selfishness. It only highlights it. He has lots of money but the kids go hungry. What a jerk! (That isn't the word I wanted to use!) As has been mentioned, the book is as much about the kid with thorns, Rose, as it is about Indigo. But there is plenty about him. Adults really ought to read some teen fiction, with an open mind. They would discover that adults are almost always portrayed as jerks, intentional or unintentional jerks. There must be a reason for that beyond "teen rebelliousness." Quick enjoyable read! This is the second Hilary McCay book I have read today! I adore the Casson Family! Would recommend to anyone, young or old who is looking for a pleasant afternoon escape! Heartwarming and quirky, and unrealistic (if that matters) This is the second in the series that I've read. They are written for either kids or YAs, so they go quickly. I like the characters, and I think they are pretty well-drawn. The situations they get into are realistic, and they do a good job of navigating them, alone and with eachother's help. But- in some ways the family reminds me of the way my sister and I used to play dolls: first we killed off the parents, and then the stories started. Here, the parents aren't dead... but for all the regular impact on their kids' lives, they may as well be. The dad has vanished into a more glamorous and prosperous new life, abandoning his family for the most part. The mom is vague enough that there is not infrequently no food in the house, nor likely the money to buy any. Meanwhile, while Daad is living in elegance and jaunting off to Paris, the kids are living in squalor. OK, they don't seem to mind... but ??!! If you like L'Engle, you might well like these, though these are less twee than some of L'Engle's more recent books, especially about the Austins. In short, I can see many kids from more distant homes loving these. The family is written well. But- the whole squalor thing while Dad swans it bothers me a lot, and here it's treated rather like a forgivable, trivial eccentricity rather than a huge selfish irresponsibility. But- charming and heartwarming, yeah, and well-written, too. "Angel" shone brighter The Cassons are an odd family. The children are all named after colors â Cadmium, Saffron, Indigo, and Rose â and one, Saffron, is really a cousin (for more information, read âSaffyâs Angelâ). Their parents are artists â scatterbrained Eve paints portraits of children and pets and teaches an art class for juvenile delinquents on the side, while organized, practical Bill does ârealâ art at a studio in London and hardly ever comes home. But in some ways, the Cassons go through what every family does.

Members Reviews: It is rare to find a good book featuring female athletes I teach Language Arts to 6th graders. This one explores enhancement drug use among high school athletes. The main character is a basketball star. She does not use enhancement drugs, but is accused when someone else on her team plants them in her gym bag. It is rare to find a good book featuring female athletes, like this one. I ordered this copy because my original classroom copy is worn out. This novel has a good message and the basketball players love it especially. The most interesting book I have ever read. This book made me love basketball even more! Kathy Mackle is my new favorite author. I love all the suspense that was going on throughout the book. It grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go until the final page Amazing I loved this book. Although I would recommend it for an older and mature person, I think it was very well written. Savvy stayed strong through all the rough times she was going through. This book had a powerful and meaningful message saying that now matter how hard things get, they will always get better. Swag Explains my life in every way possible. Made me cry so so hard . Must read like now . Boost It was a very good book. It was full of some betrayal and victory moments. I really dont read a lot of books but I just couldn't stop reading this one. I would consider this book to any person.

And it never runs out. No matter how many slices you cut, theres always something left over. Its magic. But The Magic Pudding is also alive. It walks and it talks, and its got a personality like no other. A meaner, sulkier, snider, snarlinger pudding youve never met. So Bunyip Bluegum (the koala bear) finds out when he joins Barnacle Bill (the sailor) and Sam Sawnoff (the penguin bold) as a member of the Noble Society of Pudding Owners, whose "members are required to wander along the roads, indulgin' in conversation, song and story, and eatin' at regular intervals from the Pudding". Wild and woolly, funny and outrageously fun, The Magic Pudding stands somewhere between Alice in Wonderland and The Stinky Cheese Man as one of the craziest books ever written for young readers. Critic Reviews: "This is the funniest childrens book ever written. Ive been laughing at it for fifty years, and when I read it again this morning, I laughed as much as I ever did." (Phillip Pullman) "It is an outrage that it is not on every English familys menu." (The Observer) Members Reviews: Lots of laughs Enjoyed this bit of Australiana Norman Lindsay was multi-talented writer artist and sculptor. Recommend this book to all ages!

The bullies tease Tim, kick down his sandcastle, and pick on Biscuits, and before long Tim wonders whether it would be better to avoid the beach for a while and lie low. But Biscuits is determined to enjoy his holiday, and the chums soon find themselves in the middle of a dire and dangerous adventure. Luckily, help comes from a rather unexpected source and gives Tim the chance to become Super-Tim and save the day. Members Reviews: Jo Chivers age 12 Buired alive was quite good, when you get into it you can't put the book down. Its about a boy and how his perants push him to do stuff but he doesn't really want to do it. I recommend this book for ages 9-12.

Title: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland Author: Lewis Carroll Narrator: Cyril Ritchard Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-08 Publisher: Saland Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Cyril Ritchard leads a full cast in this dramatization of Lewis Carroll's most famous work. ©2008 Saland Publishing; (P)2008 Saland Publishing Members Reviews: The best A brilliant rendition by Cyril Ritchard! Pacing, voices - all superb. The music between chapters is short. Classic Cyril Richard's performance is the best reading of the Alice Adventures ever. The Alice books have to be read, or better yet heard, in their original form (not the confusing mash-ups that Disney and Hollywood have produced), in order to be fully appreciated. This recording is a great way to introduce Alice to young readers/listeners. Gift it to a child and open his or her eyes to the wonder of language, The gold standard in audio books. What made the experience of listening to Alice's Adventures In Wonderland the most enjoyable? Cyril Ritchard provides an impeccable performance. For those who think they are not familiar with him, he played Captain Hook (and Mr. Darling) in the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan. He makes the characters in the book come alive by providing a voice appropriate to each. What was one of the most memorable moments of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland? The entire book is memorable through his performance. The Mad Tea Party is a good example. While the Disney cartoon version is fun and enjoyable, the original is far better, with the clever word plays and nonsense that somehow makes sense in Wonderland. What about Cyril Ritchards performance did you like? In addition to the voice characterizations (listen to the voice of the duck, which has a very subtle "quack" to it), Cyril Ritchard does a fantastic job with the songs that occasionally appear, such as the Duchess's "lullaby" to her baby, and the Mock Turtle's songs. Any additional comments? The chapters are introduced by marvelous short musical pieces by Alec Wilder and performed by The New York Woodwind Quintet. Cyril Ritchard also did a reading of Through the Looking Glass, every bit as good as this one. Audible, please get it!!! Wonderful childhood classic I still enjoy. On several rainy days as a young girl in the early 60's, I would listen to and read along the entire book in one sitting. I fell in love with Cyril Ritchard at that time after seeing him as Capt. Hook in Peter Pan. To this day (40 years on), when I read Alice in Wonderland, I hear his voice. I was able to find the boxed album set at a high price about 10 years ago; I'm so happy to find it in digital format now. It's going on my Kindle 2 in moments so I can listen while I knit and not have to jump up to change the vinyl record. I strongly recommend this recording.

Doug Lipman has unearthed and reassembled 5 tales of women - but none of them are the hand-wringing variety. The heroines take command of their lives in entertaining and engaging ways. These tales come from all over the world, including Iraq, Poland, Vietnam, South Africa, and Spain. The collection includes "The Chicken Woman," "The Woman Who Saved the City," "The Clever Wife of Vietnam," "The One with the Star on Her Forehead" (more commonly known to Westerners as "Snow White" but with an unexpected twist), and "La Muerta: Godmother Death." (P) and ©1983 Yellow Moon Press, All Rights Reserved Critic Reviews: "Each story entertainingly demonstrates how a woman relying on her own resourcefulness takes control of her life. On cold winter nights, little girls nowadays will have a lot more to choose from." (The Boston Phoenix) Members Reviews: Poor sound quality The sound is clear and strong when he is singing, however, when he is speaking it is often only half the strength and difficult to understand. The poor recording quality requires that you concentrate on what is said in order to understand the story. This needs to be reengineered with a new narrator. can't hear anything It's really hard to hear. It's annoying but you want to hear it. I can't tell if it's special effects or what...but maybe 3 minutes in you can hear him. It also reminds me of someone reading a bedtime story. Worth 2 bucks I guess.

I have slowly started purchasing these for my kindle. Still funny even at my age, and hoping my own daughters will be able to enjoy it in a few years! Five Stars funny and enjoyable Five Stars Always loved this series. Books were in amazing condition! Great buy! Very amusing Very amusing! Great to lift your mood Hilarious! It might be because I'm an anglophile, or I might just have a completely juvenile sense of humour (which I blame entirely on being a college prof) but I ADORE Louise Rennison's books and cannot put any of the ones in this series down. Even when they are making me laugh out loud in completely inappropriate places!

And the trouble with being grounded is it's sooooooo boring. You absolutely can't go anywhere at all. No hopping, jumping, flying, or parachuting. Daisy's got ever so much time to think about what she's done. Really, if her pocket money hadn't run out, and if someone hadn't dropped a strawberry dib-dab on the pavement, and if strawberry dib-dabs weren't Daisy's absolutely favourite sweet.... Who knew that it had invisible red germs that are so totally teensy and that Auntie Sue says give you tummy trouble? Daisy's trips to the loo are interspersed with hilarious musings about the trouble with everything, from her goldfish Freddie, who thinks he's a dolphin, to the school name-caller Jack Beechwhistle, and hosepipes that don't do as they're told. Now, if only Daisy can find a word to rhyme with hippopotamus, she and Gabby can magic next door's cat into a hippo - when she's un-grounded and off the loo, of course. Members Reviews: Funniest character ever Hilarious story and an absolutely brilliant narrator! Gullible Daisy is a funniest character ever. My children have listened to her musings countless times, and have read all other Daisy books - I only wish more of them were released in audio versions!

Somehow Thomas must learn how to exorcise ghosts, contain witches and bind boggarts. But when he is tricked into freeing Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the County, the horror begins... Members Reviews: Download NOW! First off, I highly recommend you get the Unabridged version rather than the Abridged version. It's a fantastic story and for some of it to be edited out is a horrible thought. With a great reader and storyline this book take you into a world of Boggarts, Witches and Ghasts. If you want something to pass the time, something as good as Twilight or Harry Potter or just a great listen then this is the thing for you. I didn't find it that scary, but some parts are a bit gory. I would recommend this to someone over the age of eight. The start of an obsession reminds me of something between harry potter and Merlin. addictive and thankfully plenty more books to keep you going. Really good book for all ages Is the really good book for kids and anyone who is just interested in the supernatural things that go bump in the night A very clever and exciting book for all ages What made the experience of listening to The Spook's Apprentice the most enjoyable? The tension and the history of the Pendle hill witches. What other book might you compare The Spook's Apprentice to, and why? The Harry potter books as the adventures are just as gripping and exciting. What does Jamie Glover bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? The theatre in his voice adds to the tension and allows a the imagin to takeover more, Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The moment the boy moves out of home and leaves his famil behind Any additional comments? An amazing book for mixed ages groups. I have continued to down load all the books in this series and so far have enjoyed every book. Good reading........... the story was quite good but could have a bit more suspense in it the reader could have been a bit slower in reading it as I found it too fast overall good reading material the story was easy to follow but it was too short would have liked to hear more looking forward to book 2.

Title: Underrunners Author: Margaret Mahy Narrator: Richard Mitchley Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Tris Catt leads a double life. He appears to be an ordinary boy but in his fantasy life he is also an alien superhero. The underrunners near his home are an important part of his secret life, secret tunnels known only to him. Unexpectedly Triss imaginary world is invaded by a girl, Winola. She is strange but gutsy, and so good at joining in his invented game that Tris doesnt take seriously the menacing character who she claims is after her - at least, not until they are caught up in a dangerous situation which threatens both their lives... Members Reviews: The Book Review for Underruners What happens when you are Tristum Catt and you are on your way from school and you meet a girl and her father later kidnaps you after your mother as run away from home? The first part of this book seemed unappealing and boring, since there was not enough action. But once I started getting into the adventure, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I loved the way the author used good description, but not so much that the book was flooding with description. I also liked how the author would always keep you guessing about the future through out the story. What I didn't like about the book was that their were some kind of impolite parts in the beginning of the and their was violence in one of the chapters in the middle. Over all I think that was a wonderful book. I would recommend this story to anyone who likes a non-confusing book with not many setting or characters, but many exciting parts. Unusual and Suspenseful A strikingly original book with some very unexpected, but cunningly planted plot twists and revelations. Not a word is wasted, as a number of moments that seem to be just character development turn out to be significant to the plot as well, from Selsey Firebone's name to Randall's job to Winola's allergies. The underrunners function both as an unusual setting and as a metaphor for the unseen depths and unpredictable turns in life and in people's characters. The characters are all three-dimensional, with the sort of believable quirks that people have in real life, and mostly quite likable. The plot is an almost Hitchcockian study in growing tension. Underrrunners an O.K. book Underrunners was an odd book! If you like a book with adventure, sadness, hope, and suspense than this would be a good book for you. But if you don't than you should stop reading! Tris is the main character in Underunners. He live with only his dad because his mom left them to go Australia. Tris has made one friend and helped to get out of the childrens' home near where he lives. Winola is the name of his friend and they go on many adventures together. The thing I didn't like about the book was, that it was very slow moving and wasn't fun to read at all! Underrunners is one of the books you want to put down, just stop reading. Now you know about Underrunners so make your choice today.

Bruna is simply unteachable! Or is she? Join Piper as she embarks on new and exciting adventures! Piper is a spunky heroine with lots of spirit - she's both kindhearted and bossy as she tries to find her place in the world as the middle sister. Members Reviews: A Fan's Review I found this creation very entertaining. Especially liked the chapter that presented the 3 childrens' individual versions of "how mom broke her leg". That was classic. Ms. Holt, the author is the eldest daughter among 3, but she told the story from the eyes and mindset of the middle child. She rose to the challenge and pulled that off flawlessly. I'm also remembering that she had to think like a pre-teen boy when she created an earlier book - "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town". She obviously did an excellent job with that, as the book was awarded the NBA (National Book Award) for young adult literature in 1999, and was later made into a movie, which is shown regularly on various cable and dish network channels. I know those sisters that are presented in "Piper Reed (Navy Brat) and Piper Reed (The Great Gypsy). Both books have taken me down nostalgia lane and refreshed many fond memories. I may be a little biased because -I'm "The Chief". Exellent reading for 3rd grade girls Some of the Piper Reed books are on the Texas BlueBonnet reading list and are very timely and interesting reading for young girls. Appeal for boys is limited. A really fun read My daughter Julia, aged 8, read this book. She says: "I loved it. It is the best book in the world because it was really cool. They moved a lot of different places and were on the army base. I would recommend it." My daughter read this very quickly and wanted to buy other books by the author - a sure sign of a well enjoyed book! 2nd book of great series. this one seems shorter than first 2nd book of great series. this one seems shorter than first. 3rd 4th grade reading level Good book It is a good book for preteens.

One with big consequences for someone just finding his way in life. Sam can't run (let alone skate) away from this one. He's a boy facing a man's problems and the question is - has he got what it takes to confront them? Slam, from the acclaimed author of About a Boy and High Fidelity is a teenage novel about a boy who has to grow up in big, big hurry. It is The Catcher in the Rye for the 21st century. Critic Reviews: "Hornby is a writer who dares to be witty, intelligent and emotionally generous at once." (New York Times) "He should write for England." (Observer) "Very funny...very real" (Daily Telegraph) "Hornby gets his point across with the subtlety and skill of a born novelist who always deserves to be read" (Independent) "A moving read for anyone" (Elle) Members Reviews: Painfully slow What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? This is neither an advice book for teenagers nor a story with an interesting narrative. the characters are predictable and deadly boring What could Nick Hornby have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? come up with a punch line or drive the story to a less obvious conclusion Would you listen to another book narrated by Nicholas Hoult? yes he is very good What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? boredom Much better than I expected! I dismissed this book when it first came out because I thought (from the blurb) that it was just a book about skateboarding, but it's really about teen pregnancy. I really got into it and listened to it in one 6-hour sitting. I could relate to Sam, even though I'm 35 (older than his mother!) and really enjoyed the 'magical' element to the story as well. The narrator did a pretty good job, but I did have to speed him up a bit as he had the habit of pausing too long between sentences, particularly during conversations. Speeding him up didn't help much to be honest because the gaps just made it sound very choppy, but I got over it as time went on and I got into the story. good read this is not my usual kind of book genre but I got on sale and absolutely loved it. would recommend this book and the narrator did a great job too. Enjoyable I enjoyed listening to this book, though I did find it slightly trite at times. I have enjoyed others more. Be careful what you wish for... I got this book because it was deal of the day and didn't even bother to read the summary. As the story unfolded I found myself pulled in because it felt like my story, only I have a magic 8 ball and not Tony Hawks. He wanted he and he got to be with her but never thought it'd turn out like that. What do you do when you have a plan and it all changes? Thinking about options and seeing what your future will be.

Pack your suitcase and climb onboard with the Johnston-Fischer family. Sara Johnston-Fischer loves her family, of course. But that doesn't mean she's thrilled when her summer plans are upended for a surprise cross-country train trip with her two moms, Mimi and Carol; her younger sister, Ladybug; her older sister, Laurel; and Laurel's poncho-wearing activist boyfriend, Root. And to make matters worse, one of her moms is writing a tell-all book about the trip...and that means every ridiculous and embarrassing moment of Sara's life. Sara finds herself crisscrossing the country with a gaggle of wild Texans. As they travel from New Orleans to Chicago to the Grand Canyon and beyond, Sara finds herself changing along with the landscape outside the train windows. And she realizes that she just might go home reinvented. Critic Reviews: "Sara has a truly unique tween voice, with her concerns about big-picture issues never diminishing the importance of her need for a new hair look or a burgeoning friendship with a fellow traveler...its engaging main character makes it a truly memorable read." (Booklist) "This story is never preachy; it ranges from laugh-out-loud funny to incredibly moving, and the voices are true. Ignore the title: this is a good story already." (Kirkus) Members Reviews: even better than the Fletchers I really like the Family Fletcher books, but I think Dana Alison Levy has leveled up with this one. Mush together elements of Madeline L'Engle's Vicky Austin books "The Moon By Night" and "A Ring of Endless Light", then step it on back to a 12yo heroine, remove the romance elements accordingly, update it and maybe add a dash of Donna Gephart, and there you have it. There's a lot about being twelve in this book, a lot about being around 12-year-olds, and a lot about life in general. I am not 12, not by a few multiples, but this one held both laughter and tears for me. My 11YO son and I both really enjoyed this book My 11YO son and I both really enjoyed this book. He was a little annoyed at first trying to figure out whose voice was speaking, since he's not used to material like that, but once he got it figured out, he was good. (The many voices/perspectives is part of the charm and impact of the story.) I loved that it touched on such a wide jumble of serious topics while always keeping it from being heavy or preachy. HE loved that it was LOL funny -- and that he's been to many of the places described on the journey. Being from the south, the New England girl's take on the south was amusing. The characters are very diverse and funny -- the lawyer/judge mom, the flighty writer 2nd mom, the Berkeley activist sister & her boyfriend, the exuberant little sister... plus the others they meet on the journey. The book has lots of thoughtful & reflection-worthy material embedded in a quick, easy, hilarious read. Kids and parents will LOVE this! Love this book. A true joy ride while watching a young character with a unique voice change right before your eyes. So much to say here. I loved the format of this book, too, and feel it will appeal to kids who might be reluctant readers.

Because Ellie, Magda, and Nadine don't. In this moving and funny sequel to Girls in Love, the friends all try to change their looks - with disastrous consequences! These girls are under pressure! Members Reviews: One of the best out of the "series" This is the second book of the 'series' and its one of my favourites, don't get me wrong I love them all but this one was especially good. The other books in the series are; Girls in Love, Girls in Tears & Girls out late, and I own them all. I loved this one especially because I really feel the author knew what she was writing about, she had done her research or maybe even gone through it herself because it all felt so real. When I was listening it was like I could of easily been Ellie and not many books can capture this subject as well. As you know the book is about Ellie and her struggles with food, dieting and wanting to be thin. You could say she had the starting of an eating disorder and it was all done very well. You see I too suffered from this problem, I am now recovered (well as much as you can be because often all those thoughts don't just disappear) and as I was listening to this audio book it was like going back in time to when I was going through it which is why I think the author has done a brilliant job. Really great audio book, I'd highly recommend it. Each book in the series are like separate stories so don't worry if you don't have the others as it wont effect your enjoyment of the book. Obviously I recommend you get each book as you'll enjoy them all but what I am really saying is don't let not having all the other books put you off getting this one, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as I still do and I'm in my twenties (my husband even likes it also and he is older than me!). I would say along with the other books in this series its not for young children, more teenagers and upwards. real, like it'sa true story I loved it because it so interesting and unique. like really happened. l live jacqueline willson!!! My thoughts on the book I really enjoyed this book. I felt very contented with the main character Ellie I have always felt insecure with my body but I feel like I do not need to worry anymore

Join Veronica on her search for pearls in the black sands on the far side of the biggest volcano of all...Mount Mystery! Veronica sets off in the "lava car" with her best friend, Maddy, and their dads. Together, they must cross Magma Pass, hike through the Cinnamon Forest, and brave the poisonous Yellow Lake to get to the base of Mount Mystery, where the true test begins. The base of Mount Mystery is a moonscape pocked with craters the size of school buses. Here the earth pulses with power: geysers steam, mud pots boil, and stones smoke like ghosts in the spectral fog. Yet they press on through the war-zone landscape to the summit, where they are faced with an impossible choice: of life and death, of bad and worse. Veronica makes her decision, and the world falls into darkness. Yet amid total despair and with the help of her family and friends, she discovers a map that can change the world, if only someone didn't stand in her way - the man in white! Join Veronica on this epic, middle-grade adventure of eruption, pirates, and volcanic winter. Perfect for volcano lovers of all ages and especially girls ages 9 to 12. The author began telling Veronica and the Volcano stories to pass the time with his daughter Madeline on the 25-minute drive to school every morning. In many ways the audiobook is the truest format to the original stories. Critic Reviews: "An exciting adventure with an appealingly game young heroine!" ( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Engaging! This book was fun to listen TO even as an ADULT! Now that I know what's in it already I can go back to bed time stories with my girls reading to them!! Extremely engaging narrative!

Like the time he had a difficult encounter with a policeman or when he found himself in deep water with a newspaper reporter. But since arriving from his native Peru after an earthquake Paddington has always felt at home with the Brown family who found him on Paddington station. Then one day, a mysterious visitor arrives at thirty-two Windsor Gardens. Is it time for Paddington to decide where 'home' really is? Members Reviews: Paddington Here and Now Review I loved this Audio Book very much and I want more of it. Stephen Fry is a great narrative person By Orkneyislands awesome SUPER!!!!One of the best! I recommended . It is a great way to get to sleep Brilliant quite brilliant Just the stuff I like, just the way I like it. Good job. Lovely characterisation from Stephen fry. Wehee Fabulous Really enjoyed this modern Paddington - great fun. Wonderfully written and beautifully read. Great characters with lots of excellent observations. Z Mrs Bird's all wrong Would you consider the audio edition of Paddington Here and Now to be better than the print version? No. An audiobook is more accessible to a three year old than a big print book with few pictures. What did you like best about this story? Paddington himself. What aspect of Stephen Frys performance might you have changed? This recording isn't consistent with the other two Stephen Fry recordings. In the previous two books, Mrs Bird has a different voice. Stephen Fry must have forgotten to listen to his previous recordings before doing this one. This is very confusing for me, although I'm not sure my son's noticed.

The characters, storyline, reading level are all great for my 2nd grade daughter who's reading grade has gone up a whole grade since discovering Amber Brown. Thank you Paula Danziger! Amazing I chose this rating because I thought it was very suspenseful and interesting.

Title: Department 19 Author: Will Hill Narrator: Jot Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-12 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: In a secret supernatural battle that's been raging for over a century, the stakes have just been raised - and they're not wooden anymore. When Jamie Carpenter's mother is kidnapped by strange creatures, he finds himself dragged into Department 19, the government's most secret agency. Fortunately for Jamie, Department 19 can provide the tools he needs to find his mother, and to kill the vampires who want him dead. But unfortunately for everyone, something much older is stirring, something even Department 19 can't stand up against Critic Reviews: Bram Stoker can stop turning in his grave: his 21st-century legacy extends beyond Twilight. (The Telegraph) "Injects some blood and thunder back into the vamp mythosthis is a lively set-up to what looks to be a fun and blood-soaked YA thrill ride." (SFX Magazine) Members Reviews: Not Quite Sure What I Think! Department Nineteen's plot-line is a nice change from the usual books about 'vampires' and the supernatural that are around these days. Romance is thin on the ground Will Hill's version of a supernatural order (although it is there), but then so is characterization and the cementing and growth of relationships. This is an adult length novel but is definitely aimed at teenage boys. Not sure it bridges the gap in quite the same way that a lot of the YA novels do these days. Its not horrendous as book but there is a lack of emotional depth. The narrator does a good job but it's not particularly a voice that I wanted to listen to for this amount of time. I ended up switching to the print version because I wanted to get to the conclusion faster and get it done with. The sequel isn't available on Audible as yet so you may want to consider that before investing in the franchise. All in all the whole thing was fair. Didn't want it to end! I love a good vampire tale. Always have done ever since I was a kid. This doesn't disappoint. I love the continuation of the Dracula story & particularly enjoyed the flashbacks to previous times. Ok, it's probably aimed at teenagers but it certainly crosses the divide into being well written enough to be a decent read / listen for adults too. It's certainly violent enough. Mr Hill has just removed any swearing. That lessens the authenticity a touch but also means that my nearly 13 y o lad can either read or listen to it. So, fair do's. I won't add any spoilers. I never do! If this is the type of genre you enjoy, give it a go. I for one am looking forward to Audible releasing book 2. Jot Davies is a great narrator. Ok, his Geordie accent isn't the best, but I shan't hold that against him too much. I know it's a tricky one to get right!

Peterson Format: Unabridged Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-06 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: The first children's book by acclaimed author and Bible translator Eugene H. Peterson, The Christmas Troll is a story that reminds readers young and old to keep their eyes open for God's most surprising gifts. "Gifts are for giving and receiving, not for grabbing and getting." Members Reviews: Just a Lot of Fun! Just lots of fun to be invited into the Peterson family tradition for the holidays. While we all share ritual within our families theirs is quite unique. Beautiful rich illustrations too. Thanks Dr. Peterson our family will share in your story next Christmas. FABULOUS ILLUSTRATIONS!! I can't believe Amazon has not listed the illustrator, Will Terry. The illustrations are what make this book worth buying. Beautiful, rich, and expressive. I would by anything Will Terry has illustrated. Three Stars it's just okay... Thought provoking Every once in a while a picture book comes along that makes you and your child think. The Christmas Troll by Eugene H. Peterson is that kind of book. Peterson is best known as the author of the popular Bible paraphrase, The Message, and in his first children's book, he shows both humor and insight. Andrew is really angry. He asked to open a gift - just a single gift - on Christmas Eve and his mother refused him. Even when he told her his friend Jonathan was opening the last of his presents by now, she refused him. "Gifts are for giving and receiving," his father says, "not for grabbing and getting. Waiting until morning will be good for you." So Andrew decides to run away and take his little sister with them. They enter the woods near their house, a small lantern lighting their way. Although they've taken many family tromps through these woods, they look different - and kind of scary - in the dark. Andrew remembers what Jonathan told him about the trolls who live there; is his friend right? When the the siblings stop and sit on a soft, mossy log, suddenly a growly voice says "Who's sitting on my belly?" Jonathan leaps off the "log" and into the ferns, too terrified to run, but his little sister soon calls out, "It's okay. The troll is ugly - but nice." More than nice, actually. Wonderful. And ridiculous, with spiky, carrot-colored hair. The children are soon bouncing on his belly, while they all laugh. Suddenly Andrew realizes the troll is a gift. "Andrew hadn't expected a gift, he hadn't deserved it, yet he'd gotten it all the same - and it felt great!..And now he wanted to go home as fast as he could, and he wanted to show the troll to Jonathon. He wanted to show everybody a gift, a real gift, a gift you can't wrap with paper and ribbons and put under a tree. He wanted to show Jonathan that he was all wrong about trolls, and all wrong about gifts." When the children try to get the troll to come home with them, he won't budge. Andrew says: "Oh, please, Mr. Troll, please...My father says Christmas is our time to remember that God gives us gifts. That's what he does, give gifts - gifts everywhere, gifts here, gifts there, gifts from above, gifts from below, gifts seen, gifts unseen, and lots and lots and lots of gifts that don't look like gifts but tun out to be the best gift of all. But Jonathan thinks that if it's not wrapped up in a package and tied with a ribbon, it's not a gift.

He and Wolf are together again. But their reunion is all too short-lived. As mid winter approaches, Torak learns the worst from the White Fox clan. The Soul-Eaters have snatched Wolf and will sacrifice him. Desperate to rescue him, Torak hatches a perilous plan, one that he must carry out alone. He will find the Soul-Eaters and infiltrate their cult. Critic Reviews: "Paver is a master storyteller, whose clear, taut prose overlies complex research. There is magic, but it is natural magic, depending on perception or superstition....The thrill of this remarkable series is that it makes readers percieve the world differently." (The Times) Members Reviews: Soul Eater 'Soul Eater' it doesn't eat your souls but it takes your breath away this book is amazing on all fronts: story line, characters, emotion and tension. 5 stars, amazing. soul eater a bit rambling in places and lacked the pace and excitement of the first two of the series. the characters are interesting and the expansion of the details of the time and inclusion of new clans was welcome. however, the rather singular setting of the book did get a little tiresome, and there were several moments when I found myself questioning the actions of characters, which was clearly only done to stretch the story out unnecessarily. I hope book 4 is a bit more exciting. Great story fantastically read Ian really brings a new life to an already loved story of mine. Michelle's writing thrills and enthrals, with her humanisation of the wolf and the supernatural prehistoric woodland clan laws and rituals. Well worth the buy! Soul eater In this, the third book in the series, Torak and Ren must rescue wolf after he is taken by the soul eaters. To do so, Torak must literally place himself in the lion's den. This book is darker than the previous two and the most intense.

Ethan and Cathy are sick. Their father has left them to fetch a doctor... but they are not alone for long. A visitor comes begging for shelter, and so the children, who have an unnatural appetite for stories of a macabre persuasion, sit out the throes of the storm in the company of a sailor with more than enough grisly tales to satisfy them. But whatever horrors the stormy night can conjure, they are nothing compared with the heart-stopping revelation of a new dawn... Eleven spine-chilling tales for older children from bestselling author Chris Priestley. Members Reviews: DISAPOINTING TAKE ON TERROR Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? So let down by this so called Tale of Terror. The story does not have any terror in it and I wondered why we had bothered. Half way through the children grew bored and wandered off, which they never do when they enjoy their daily audiobooks. Would you be willing to try another book from Chris Priestley? Why or why not? No. His titles do not come up to the stories themselves. Was Tales of Terror from the Black Ship worth the listening time? No this was not. I like to vary the childrens genre but could have spent this precious listening time with something quite more entertaining from my vast audio collection. But you live and learn and do not know until you try it. Any additional comments? These are weak stories with a lack of 'gumph' 'sparkle' 'anticipation' and most of all 'fear'. Quite entertaining Classic structure with tales being told within an overall story and the tales become more gruesome. It's what happens when the stranger completes his tale telling that is so affecting ang satisfying, so do listen to this audiobook to the end.

I first heard of Emerald via her role on Call the Midwife & once I heard she wrote books I had to check them out.

I want more & plan on picking up her latest novel Monster & am hoping it will be out on audiobook asap! Don't miss out of these two Shiverton novels & I truly hope the story continues because I'm dying to find out what happens to Arthur in the end.

Whilst frightened for his life, he inexplicably changes into a fox. Before long, both a government agent and an ambitious young journalist are on his tail. Members Reviews: The Best Shapeshifter Book I've Read/Heard Yet It's well written with an interesting setting and characters I remember. The main character LOVES his shapeshifting as much as I imagine I would, and that brings a smile to my face every time it comes up in the story. The "Magical School" setting is a little cliche and familiar, but the story is overal recommended by me for supernatural and transformation adventure fans. Already purchased second entry. Good tale - shame about the narration style Glen McCready's posh RP vocal style was perfect for Ali Sparkes's Frozen in Time (which I love and have listened to several times), because it featured 1950s middle class children speaking in that manner, but doesn't seem to fit with The Shapeshifter. For me, it distracts from an otherwise good audiobook with a fine premise and plot. Fantastic series My son and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Shapeshifter series, he enjoyed it so much that he is now listening to them all again as audio books. Wonderfully written with great characterisation and a compelling plot and with moments of very funny humour and genuinely scary bits. Excellent

Title: Young Sherlock Holmes: The Death Cloud Author: Andrew Lane Narrator: Dan Stevens Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-10 Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publisher Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: The worlds most famous detective. The most brilliant mind in fiction. But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes? The year is 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is 14. His life is that of a perfectly ordinary army officers son: boarding school, good manners, a classical education the backbone of the British Empire. But all that is about to change. With his father suddenly posted to India, and his mother mysteriously unwell, Sherlock is sent to stay with his eccentric uncle and aunt in their vast house in Hampshire. So begins a summer that leads Sherlock to uncover his first murder, a kidnap, corruption and a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent. The Death Cloud is the first in a series of novels in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books. Members Reviews: Sherlock Holmes? More like Alex Rider in the 1800s Would you try another book written by Andrew Lane or narrated by Dan Stevens? I have the next book of this series but haven't gone around listening to it yet. As for trying another book narrated by Dan Stevens, I would gladly do so as he is my most favourite narrator. Would you recommend Young Sherlock Holmes: The Death Cloud to your friends? Why or why not? I would recommend this book to young readers - probably my male students. It's got the things boys may be interested in - action, mystery, adventure, a pretty girl, etc. What about Dan Stevenss performance did you like? Dan Stevens never disappoints me with his narration. He is simply brilliant in performing stories. His voice is clear, his reading pace is steady, he distinguishes character voices, and there's something about the way he reads that draws me into the story and makes me stay there until the end. He drew me into Michael Murpurgo's War Horse and Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series, he certainly kept me listening to this book even though it isn't as good as I thought it would be. Did Young Sherlock Holmes: The Death Cloud inspire you to do anything? If this is supposed to be a portrayal of Sherlock Holmes as a young teenager, it really doesn't feel like it. The whole book doesn't feel like a Sherlock Holmes mystery but rather a kind of Victorian Alex Rider as it comes across as something similar to the teenage spy book. Although it isn't entirely a bad thing, it isn't a good one either. I had mixed feelings about this book - but it didn't stop me from enjoying it to some extent. dry and predictable like I said in the title the story was dry and predictable it didn't do a good job at keeping you guessing what the ending was going to be like but the narration was well done

More Horowitz Horror Audiobook by Anthony Horowitz

Title: More Horowitz Horror Author: Anthony Horowitz Narrator: Simon Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-13 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Kids, Fiction Publisher's Summary: Enter the dark and scary world of Horowitz Horror, and expect the unexpected! It's a world where everything might seem pretty normal. But the weird, the surprising and the truly terrifying are lurking just out of sight. Like a hitchhiker who isn't quite all he seems, a spooky cottage with a grisly secret and a mobile phone that lets you contact the dead! Each story has a shocking sting in the tale... Warning: Not for the nervous or frail! Members Reviews: Sufficiently scary and fascinatingly freaky This is really not for the faint at heart, but it definitely keeps you at the edge of your seat! Horowitz Horror "Horowitz Horror", and the sequel book "More Horowitz Horror", are simply written and all of the stories have simplistic plots. The reader can guess the outcome of any story in the first few pages. Both of these books are aimed at a pre-teen or early teen audience. The main characters range from 12 to 16 years of age. The plots resemble fables where the bad guys get their "just due" at the end. They are predictable and the characters are childlike in their simplicity. I would recommend these books for pre-teens but adults will find them uninspiring and uninteresting. The authors writing ability is passable but his plots and characters are uninteresting. Unfortunately he does little research on his subject matter and there are factual errors in the books. One glaring error, in a story about a doomed airliner, suggests that the plane is destined to crash because the water from the plumbing system has leaked and frozen in the belly of the plane. The author then has the character say that "of course everyone knows that ice is heavier than water". Obviously the author flunked basic physics, chemistry and biology, because, in fact, ice is NOT heavier than water. Therefore the basic premise of the story is flawed. Poetic license aside, such technical errors reveal poor research, a lack of even a basic understanding of science and sloppy writing. Considering the fact that he is engaging a pre-teen audience, this must be considered a serious flaw. Downright scary Read the title. DOWNRIGHT SCARY. It's just like that. I bought the book because at first I didn't think it was that bad, but after a few stories I didn't read it anymore. I actually got the Complete Horowitz Horror book, and it has all the stories contained in this one. This is kind of for an older group of people, and kids not used to horror stories would be better off fndng something else to read. Review of More Horowitz Horror Would recommend for readers who want a short horrific read. Good collection of short spine tinglers. Don't read at night.

Clinging to the belief that life should be simple, free and unplanned they set off in a converted teashop of a ship, renamed The Sinful Sausage, to sail backwards and forwards over the bounding blue. In no time a dastardly plan has formed in Captain Wafer's mind to kidnap the famous inventor, Humbert Cash-Cash, from his sunshine retreat and purloin his inventions - or at the very least pinch his diamond doorknob. But they land on the wrong island - and that is where their troubles start... Members Reviews: A delicious kid's story with something for adults What did you love best about The Pirates Mixed Up Voyage? It's a story on several levels. My kids enjoyed the pirates and their (mis-)adventures; what can you say about nearly being devoured by a dragon and then singing it to sleep? But it's also got something for parents too - the theme of free will as being acted out by Captain Wafer vs. Toothpick's argument in favor of doom and destiny is just an example. If you're a parent who enjoys a story with silliness and seriousness mixed together, then this can make a great family listen on a car trip. Who was your favorite character and why? There are several I really like, but I'd say my favorite is the muddled-but-brilliant inventor Humbert Cash-Cash, who has enhanced the world with such useful inventions as Polar Zone Gingerbread and self-replicating peanut butter sandwiches. Wonderful silliness without being slapstick. Which scene was your favorite? Again, there are a number of good ones, but perhaps my favorite is when the ignorant pirates charge onto island 888 looking for treasure. They can't read, so they go right past signs warning them of terrible danger and are nearly eaten by the dragon the find at the end of the path...only to escape by giving the dragon rum and gingerbread, and then singing it to sleep. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? "Doom and destiny" Any additional comments? A fun story and also well performed. Strongly recommended. Avast ye landlubbers...adventure on the horizon What did you love best about The Pirates Mixed Up Voyage? A great story, with characters you cant help but fall in love with.

Was searching for it for the longest time and I am very happy to have finally found it. Love! I really enjoyed this book! If you liked any of Enid Blyton's school stories, then you'll enjoy this book too. It's what high school ought to have been like. The setting of the story is also really nice, as it's set near the sea, so the scenery is really pretty to read about. Quick read Having read other boarding school based books in the past this was the top one that was best read quickly modern boarding school read for girls. More modern that Enid Blyton's boarding school books. I still like hers though. But this is a modern boarding school book-written in the 1970's, I think. And it is good. yeah! Reminds me of when I read this as a child and now I get to keep the book to read over and over.

There they uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval, a world full of warring creatures, peace-loving mystics and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. What begins as a rescue mission becomes something much bigger as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. A wilderness the locals call Wildwood. Members Reviews: love the story but..... Would you try another book from Colin Meloy and/or the narrator? yes Colin not the narrator What other book might you compare Wildwood to and why? narnia What didn???t you like about the narrator???s performance? she slurs and is hard to understand If this book were a movie would you go see it? yes Any additional comments? still worth listening to despite narration bug There's a lot of "bugs" in the mp3 files... I tried to download the files several times but it was always there. It's not all the time but it's pretty annoying when it happens... Hmmmm.... If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? Story is great but the accents are awful... They utterly distracted me from the story and it spoilt it for me. What did you like best about this story? The storyline was interesting What didnt you like about Amanda Plummers performance? Really not strong on accents at all... Mixed up Northern, Irish and Scottish all in one sentence!?! Dreadful... Would've been far better to avoid them and let the Listener enjoy the story What character would you cut from Wildwood? None Any additional comments? Quality of the recording isn't great... 3 separate times the recording stutters and stalls and 'jams'. I feel let down & like I wasted my money a bit :( quirky and endearing. plummer 's performance, I felt, was mesmerising. other reviews say it was awkward and her accents were clumsy. I felt I was for this very reason that her voice and performance matched the hipster, faux award, nerdy persona that was prevalent through the text. even the art work on and in the hard copy is a child like animation. The puposely imperfect childlike presentation in the narrative is simply, I feel, not an accidental flaw on Plummers part but a reflection on the entire body of work. I honestly don't feel like her accents were offensive (and I'm Irish!). I really loved this I've listened to it in its entirety at least 3 times and occasionally dip in and out of it when looking for a little light hearted day dreaming.. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PART 2&3 RELEASED.

I remember reading this as a child and loving it and now my 5 year old son loves it too. Its a great story that girls and perhaps particularly boys will love about how the youngest in a family befriends a slightly curmudgeonly ghost. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ghost and Bertie Boggin? There are loads, tojo and the ghost, the brandyballs, halloween and Christmas at the boggin's house. Which character as performed by Judy Bennett was your favourite? My son found her tojo the dog hillarious Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It reminded me of happy memories of family life growing up.
