The Law of Tall Girls
The Law of Tall Girls

Review:Although a bit slow at the beginning, The Law of Tall Girls definitely pays off at the end. Perfect for fans of Kasie West or Sarah Dessen, this books follows Peyton, a very tall girl (over 6') who has spent most of her life hiding. She keeps secrets from her dad, her classmates, etc. She's self-conscious, embarrassed, and worried. She's dated guys of all heights, but is really sick of looking down at her dates, she wants to be swept off her feet (literally) and adored in a way she assumes i... Read more

Columbus to the War on Terror (For Young People Series)
Columbus to the War on Terror (For Young People Series)

Review:This is an excellent book for kids. If it were to be required reading (which it NEVER will), we would probably have a second American Revolution.

In school, kids are told a pack of lies about America in order to convince them to keep their heads bowed and do what their corporate masters tell them. Kids are slathered in nationalistic crap and primed to go off and die fighting in immoral and unnecessary wars of aggression.

Pull your kid of the lie machine and have him read this ins... Read more

97 Things to Do Before You Finish High School

Review:I originally purchased this book for my high school nieces and nephews as I have children ages 5 & 8. Before deciding to package it I began reading a few chapters as I wanted to confirm the high ratings for the book. Ultimately, "I" ended up KEEPING it for me & my husband. I was beyond pleased with the information it provides, tips & knowledge from the author & sources. I know we will most definitely used it as we help our children make the right decisions for their future. ... Read more

Review:I received this book for an honest review.

This book would be a great read for all teenagers. It delves into some very difficult situation no teenager should have to go through. The bullying described in this book is severe and I hope and pray if even one teenager reads this book who bullies and stops when they see how much hurt it causes them this book is worth ievery read! Also, if any person going through the difficult situation this girl does in the book hopefully they will learn tha... Read more

Perfectly Oblivious (The Perfect Series Book 1)

Review:( might contain spoilers) If you like cheesy adorable rom coms, read this.right.now. I fell in love with the Bianca nd Cameron duo from the start. I also adored Beth( mostly cus I can relate...ALOT) . Also if the author could graciously make a book of how Brady and Beth got together together, I'd possibly cry nd would be ever so grateful. I love the story line and how the characters all intertwine. It was so cute, hard to put down, nd gaahh cheesy. It makes me feel like I'm back in highschool (... Read more

How One Letter Changed Two Lives - I Will Always Write Back
How One Letter Changed Two Lives - I Will Always Write Back

Review:Although this is in the children/teen section of the book store I believe it is a book written for all ages. Especially in today's America, this book is a reminder to stop the self obsession and be kind. One person being kind can have such an impact. We can change our culture one person at a time...one kindness at a time. Read more

A Searing Memoir of the Battle to Integrate Little Rock's Central High

Review:Had to get this book for an ethnic studies class.... figured I'd learn something new, but didn't. While Beals' journal entries are the highlight of the book, she does little to shed new light on the civil rights experiences of her lifetime. While not a bad book by any means, it is also not a great book as it was really hard to finish this book. Had I bought it as a casual read, I might not have made it the whole way, but since it was required, it wasn't half bad, I have had to read a lot wors... Read more
