Artemis Fowl The Atlantis Complex
Artemis Fowl The Atlantis Complex

Review:I can't believe that it is finally here: the penultimate volume in that zany, brainy, you'd-never-believe-that-magic-and-technology-could-blend-so-naturally-together series known as "Artemis Fowl." So much has happened in the past books, but somehow, everyone (or, mostly everyone - R.I.P Commander Root, whom I know has been gone for several volumes, but I continue to miss what he added to the series) has made it through everything in more or less good shape.

But onto the review:

Review:This book was absolutely beautiful in describing the struggles of young adults to express themselves. Especially one that has such issues as Caitlin. It also shows us that no matter what life throws at you there is always a way to overcome it Read more

The Crayon Box that Talked
The Crayon Box that Talked

Review:Nice little book about a box of crayons who learn that being different is ok but that they can still work together to complete the picture. This would be great for k-2 classes about working together and being different but still being part of the class. Read more

The Period Book: A Girl's Guide to Growing Up

Review:We bought this as training material for a nurse in a developing country who could read English as well as her native language. It came highly recommended to me. It looks very comprehensive,but I admit I thumbed through it, then immediately gave it away in the training pack we made. Read more

Tiger Eyes
Tiger Eyes

Review:Tiger Eyes..... okay, when I started reading it I couldn't put it down. When I finished with it, it wasn't finished with me. This book doesn't make the characters lives all going and good. It talks about reality. Things people really go through. I think it has a message, but I don't know what. Davey was just feeling lonely and felt like she was in a bad soap opera, but she managed to get through it, and I think the book does have a happy ending. But I REALLY think there's room for a sequel. AND ... Read more

Brown Girl Dreaming

Review:Speechless...which is hard for me to be. Woodson does an amazing job using words to bring pictures and smells right to your senses. This isn't just a page turner, but one in which you feel apart of the story every step of the way. Read more
