Under the Empyrean Sky (The Heartland Trilogy Book 1)

Review:*Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

“That’s life in the Heartland.”

What’s life in the Heartland like? Monster corn that isn’t even safe to eat is the only crop that isn’t outlawed, floating cities above that treat the Heartlanders like slaves, and having your spouse chosen by the Empyrean government even if you’re in love with another. Life in the Heartland seems to be a s***ty existence. Of course you can always hope you w... Read more

Homeless Bird
Homeless Bird

Review:Gloria Whelan's "The Homeless Bird" was a well-received read. First, I hadn't known that the National Book Award was given for young people's literature, and secondly, the book impressed me so much that I read the author's biography to find out more about her. At first I thought that she had lived in India, and was surprised to find out she had never been there, that her well woven, and interwoven tale resulted from a lot of investigation and good, dedicated writing.

The Omnivore's Dilemma: Young Readers Edition
The Omnivore's Dilemma: Young Readers Edition

Review:Although the content of the book by Michael Pollan was great, the fact that the first six pages of Chapter 12 stopped mid-sentence and then went to Chapter 15, only to stop mid-sentence in Chapter 17 and return to Chapter 15 (to continue to the end without interruption) was a bit frustrating. To say the least, Chapter 13 and 14 were never printed. Since this book did not come from Amazon's warehouse, but one of their affiliates, I couldn't return the book to get my money back. I did read the ... Read more

A Girl Named Disaster
A Girl Named Disaster

Review:Nhamo's story in the book, A GIRL NAMED DISASTER, is not a typical young girl's story. For example, how many girls do you know without a mother, without a father, and with family who either is not aware of her existence or hates her? Not many. In this book you are taken on a journey with Nhamo as she battles against life's hardships and finds where she really belongs. I would not recommend this book to boys Read more

Review:The story line follows a typical child/family of their everyday life’s ups/downs.

The jacket says it is for MS age children. I’ve been out of the school system for 10 yrs. now.

My 2 granddaughters if/when I get to stay all night I read them 2 bedtime stories (family ritual).

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an ho... Read more

Just As Long As We're Together

Review:I think that every girl should read this book. It is the perfect book for girls ages 9- forever! I read it because my friend read it and she told me what a great book it was and i decided to see if it was great. It was and i am so sure that i will read it again and again until my copy of the book falls apart!
