The Great Chicken Debacle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think that this was a really good book. We had to read it for school so I was forced to read it but once my mom began to read it with me and really acted like the characters then it made the book even more interesting than me just reading it by myself! Ha. I won't tell the story but it will get you twisted up with the ending. Good reading.

Stowaway Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My grandson is going to be 11 this month. I've decided that he's getting this book as his birthday book. Nicholas, the boy in the book, is 11 when he stows away on the HMS Endeavor, which is captained by Captain JamesCook. What better way to show an 11 year old what the future can be than to follow the exploits of another 11 year old in his trek around the world. I picked this book up to read because of the author. I loved OUT OF THE DUST by Karen Hesse. I figured that this one would be as good. It is, but in a different way. I loved how much it taught me about history and how it's sent me hunting for answers to questions it raised. The map on the inside of the front and back covers was invaluable in tracking the trip. And what a nice surprise at the end of the book to find out there was a real Nicholas.

Free From Restraint: From Whence We Came... Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read the book and visualized it in my head as if watching a movie. If you liked the DaVinci Code, you'll like "Free From Restraint" From Whence We Came.
Many lives taken at sea,rowers dripping with sweat, tales told at low breath from one to another.....Blood, Sweat & Tears.
A book worth reading!

Mischling, Second Degree: My Childhood in Nazi Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must admit, I have not read this book for many years, in fact, not since I was in the third grade. A rather insightful teacher assigned me this book, and it has profoundly enriched my understanding of the holocaust, evil, and human nature, by allowing me to see a humanized portrait of NAZI society at a very early age. As I have been raised Jewish, I have been nearly bombarded with information about the holocaust from a Jewish perspective (not that I regret this). However, I feel that we can only come to understand such a great evil if we understand that its perpetrators were as human as its victims, motivated by the same kinds of fears, hopes, false rationalizations, etc. that in some small way motivate every human being from time to time. This book is an excellent way to introduce this humanizing element to a young reader, and it helps to make sense of a senseless event in our history.
