| This is a great book - way beyond what I thought it would be. The picture and description do not do it justice. |

| This certainly isn't as good as some other Laura Ingalls Wilder biographies, but it's not bad. I think this is focued more toward young teens than adults. |

| This is an interesting book of short biographical sketches of 25 people who overcame obstacles to reach their dreams. I found it to be both inspirational and fascinating! It includes people from the 1800's to the present with various dreams. I especially found the fact that many overcame poverty and disabilities to accomplish their dreams. I enjoyed reading about the people I've heard of but also about the ones I didn't hear about before reading this book. It encourages the reader to have a dream, ... Read More: |

| I read all these great reviews, so of course I got the book. It's good. I like that each hero has two pages, and the book is thought-provoking.
But it's slanted... These _are_ good heroes to admire, but for the life of me, I can't think why a book like this would include Sandra Day O'Connor and exclude Clarence Thomas. I prefer the Childhood of Famous Americans series -- the books are more in-depth and enjoyable, and more politically neutral. |

| Lady Liberty- A Biography is just what it says, the story of the Lady from the time that she was first conceived, up to her completion and beyond, in the experiences of those that first saw her upon their arrival in the United States.
We start with Edouard de Laboulaye, a French professor of law in 1865, through the work of the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, the engineer Gustave Eiffel, the poet Emma Lazarus and a number more. Some are very famous and some are surely unknown to us, but moving nevertheless. Those that dug the holes ... Read More: |

| 28.The Cage by: Ruth Minsky Sender August 01, 1997 |

|
| I did not purchase this book on Amazon, but I had to write a review anyway. I got my copy of The Cage on a trip to the Holocaust museum with my family, when I was in the 5th grade. On the drive back, I did nothing but read this book. Since then (I'm now 19) I've re-read it so many times that it's falling apart. Riva's story is compelling, heart wrenching, and still beautiful and courageous.
This is an excellent read for anyone, regardless of age. I'm going to purchase a new copy, because mine is so battered that I feel like my next ... Read More: |

| 30.Meg Mackintosh and the Mystery on Main Street (A Solve-It-Yourself Mystery #7) by: Lucinda Landon 2000-08 |

|
| Lucinda Landon knows how to whet a child's appetite for reading. She magically combines word and illustration as she brings the reader deeper and deeper into her Meg Mackintosh mysteries. Landon also stops at well planned intervals to have the reader go back over the clues, both discovered and yet to be discovered. She is amazing at the way she has the children self-monitoring their reading to see if they have all of the clues. She challenges them to be one step aheead of Meg as she uses photographs and her own illustrations to reveal the solution. The students in my fourth ... Read More: |
