|
| Catherine, Called Birdie, written by Karen Cushman provides an excellent example of historical writing describing the life of a young girl living during the Medieval Ages. It spans one year of her life yet covers her family tree and thoroughly provides insight into the many aspects of daily life at that time. It could be utilized for many age groups and reading levels. Although it is written by a girl, the life and expectations of boys during the same time period are covered in detail. I am ... Read More: |

| I found this book on the back of an old bookshelf full of some old books. I saw that it was in good condition and had a beautiful cover.
The SECOND I read the first page, I couldn't put it down. I love this book and read it like crazy. Now my dad got it for me off the internet somewhere. It will come in the mail soon and it will be mine. Some parts, such as the line Glory says: "Merry Christmas, Charolette. And Merry Christmas, Morning Glory, wherever you are." made me cry! I love this book and ... Read More: |

| 194.Tamar: A Novel of Espionage, Passion, and Betrayal by: Mal Peet September 09, 2008 |

| I was sucked in by the first line:
"In the end, it was her grandfather, William Hyde, who gave the unborn child her name. He was serious about names; he'd had several himself." One day, out of the blue, William Hyde asks his son to name his daughter Tamar. He explains that when he was a Dutch resistance fighter working for the British during WWII, their code names were taken from rivers in England. His son assumes it was his father's code name and agrees to name her Tamar. ... Read More: |

| I'll save a review of the book for others, but suffice it to say that I really liked it. As a narrator, Anton Lesser is superb. I've listened to a lot of audiobooks, and he is one of the best.
However... it was when I was referencing my place in the story in a paper copy that I noticed that a paragraph in a certain physical scene between two characters has been entirely omitted. Later, when the male is asking the female whether their encounter was painful, the dialogue has been altered. I don't ... Read More: |

| 196.Abner & Me (Baseball Card Adventures) by: Dan Gutman January 30, 2007 |

|
| My 14-year-old son is a hater of history, and of reading for that matter. Typical. But he is a lover of sport, especially baseball. Sound like your boy? Well, read Dan Gutman's bio sheet. These words also describe his attitude as a boy. But the author has done us all a service by writing great adventures aimed at an audience reminiscent of young Dan. Satch and Me, Shoeless Joe and Me, Jackie and Me, Mickey and Me--my son read them all, and was excited to tell me about them. I would say it is important for ... Read More: |

| I bought this for my 12-year old granddaughter as part of an effort to build a classics library for her (since the schools no long seem to stress the classics); she read it through, so the effort was worthwhile. |

|
| Christopher Grey's Leonardo's Shadow is the story of Giacomo, the servant of genius Leonardo da Vinci. However, this life is not as glamorous as it might seem; Leonardo is desperately poor, being two years behind on his largest commission, the Sistine Chapel, and the Duke of Milan refuses to pay until the work is complete. This leaves Giacomo to plead with merchants to extend their non-existent credit for food (Leonardo is a strict vegetarian) and fuel.
At first glance, the narrative's device of amnesia is a little ... Read More: |
