Iain Lawrences New York Times best sellers are often singled out for recognition from numerous publications and organizations, including the ALA, School Library Journal, and Booklist. In The Winter Pony, Lawrence pens the mesmerizing tale of a young white Siberian pony who escapes a group of cruel masters only to enter the company of Englishman Robert Falcon Scott.

Not For Sensitive Audiences

May contain slight spoilers

I probably should have researched this book a bit better before diving in. While I really enjoyed the story itself, and found it quite interesting I was not prepared for the amount of death and killing of ponies involved.

This is a novel based on a real event, a particularly disastrous one; it is the story of an adventure to the south pole, two teams racing to have the glory of being the first man there. One man took dogs the other dogs and ponies. This was written from the point of view of a pony named James Pigg, first from his birth and all the way to his death and the many things that happened to him, primarily in the Arctic wasteland of the most southerly contenent .

If you are sensitive about real accounts of animals and people dying or being shot to death, you may wish to consider researching the non-fiction story and then deciding whether this would be a good book for you. While I learened a lot from this book and found the story to be fun, it does not have a happy ending.

Weil am Sonntag die Sonne scheint, am Montag Herr Mon zu Besuch kommt, am Dienstag Dienst ist und am Mittwoch Wochenmitte, weil es am Donnerstag donnert und am Freitag frei gibt - deswegen, aber auch nur deswegen, kommt am Samstag das Sams zurück, jenes kleine rüsselnasige Wesen mit den roten Stachelhaaren, das der brave Herr Taschenbier gleich beim ersten Besuch so lieb gewonnen hat.

Und Herrn Taschenbier schließlich hilft, selbst für die Erfüllung seiner Wünsche zu sorgen.

Title: Mudville

Author: Kurtis Scaletta

Narrator: Randy Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-12

Publisher: Kurtis Scaletta c/o ICM

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 37 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Welcome to Moundville, where it's been raining for longer than Roy McGuire has been alive. Most people say the town is cursed - right in the middle of their big baseball game against rival town Sinister Bend, black clouds crept across the sky and it started to rain. That was 22 years ago... and it's still pouring.

Baseball camp is over, and Roy knows he's in for a dreary, soggy summer. But when he returns home, he finds a foster kid named Sturgis sprawled out on his couch. As if this isn't weird enough, just a few days after Sturgis's arrival, the sun comes out. No one can explain why the rain has finally stopped, but as far as Roy's concerned, it's time to play some baseball. It's time to get a Moundville team together and finish what was started 22 years ago. It's time for a rematch.

Critic Reviews:

"Readers will cheer Roy on as he struggles to get his team in shape, clicks with a girl who is new to the game but turns out to have an unhittable natural screwball, and weathers some rough waters with moody Sturgis on the way to a rousing climax and a fitting resolution." (School Library Journal)

"Sports nuts, including reluctant readers, will sense they are in good hands with this one. Grades 4-8." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Narrator ruined the listening experience

What would have made Mudville better?

Consistent volume levels

Would you recommend Mudville to your friends? Why or why not?

Not to listen to, perhaps to read.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Randy Anderson?

He was fine for all but two characters

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Mudville?

Wouldn't delete scene(s) but would listen to the finished product prior to releasing it. Virtually impossible to listen to with headphones on, because of wide variance of character voice fluctuations.

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure the age group the story was aimed at, but the father was portrayed (and sounded) like an idiot cartoon dad. The absolute worst part was the adopted cousin character. The narrator virtually shouted every thing this kid said. The narrator would talk quietly and smoothly throughout the book, but then would shout any line the cousin said. He sounded like a retarded boy with a hearing problem (ie., talks way louder than everyone else). It was close to impossible to finish listening to the book. When ever I anticipated the boy talking I would have to turn my volume way down. It actually hurt my ears.

There Is Some Joy in Mudville

What did you love best about Mudville?

As an adult listening to a middle grade book, what I like best about Mudville are its variety of themes, the complexity of its main characters, and the messages it offers young readers. The plot is built upon a baseball showdown between Moundville (Mudville) and a rival neighboring town, but woven into that are themes of friendship, family, loyalty, dedication, selflessness, defining moments, first crushes, and even some issues of race relations.

Baseball always makes for a good metaphor, and Mudville proves to be no exception, to its credit even using the statistical aspect of baseball as a recurring metaphor. Well written, well thought out, and surprisingly complex (but not too complex) for its target audience.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I would not believe anyone who read this book and chose any character other than Sturgis as a favorite.

Members Reviews:

then to my Great Nephew. hope he enjoys it as much as i did! this is a timeless classic

this classic more than meet my expectations. passed it down to my Mother who thought i should of read it as a child,then to my Great Nephew. hope he enjoys it as much as i did. Gifted it to him for his birthday. running away to join the circus seamed to be more exciting to me as a child than this wonderful novel proved that it really isn't as exciting as it seems.

âPeanuts, popcorn, and weak lemonade!â

Toby Tyler was classified as a âbad boyâ novel, written to instruct, a lesson of what can happen to boys who do bad things (such as running away to join the circus). These types of books were common in the 1800s. It was first serialized in Harperâs Young People in 1877, published as a book in 1881. Rather than glamorize circus life, author James Otis made it anything but enthralling. Toby is regularly whipped and beaten by three men throughout the book. The work Toby is forced to do is difficult. Naturally, the Disney version is a bit happier. Disney was rarely faithful to childrenâs literature.

If read as a cautionary tale and not an adventure, it is a sobering book that Iâm not certain many kids today would enjoy (even though they were the intended audience).

A Runaway's Circus Adventures

Toby Tyler or Ten weeks with a Circus was written in the late 1800s but the story is just as charming now as it was then. The boy Toby runs away from his foster home to work at the circus. From the very beginning he has his doubts about his decision, but doesn't want to break his word to the candyman who has offered him a job. Toby soon finds out that living and working and traveling with the circus is very different from what he expected. He has to work hard, gets little sleep and little food, and feels homesick. What keeps him going are his friends - at first, an old monkey, then a living skeleton and a fat lady, and he wins more and more hearts as time passes. He even gets a chance at becoming a circus star - but he still just wants to go home. This is an abridged version (though not much shorter than the original). It's an easy read that should make good bedtime reading for kids.

Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks with a Circus

This is a good story. For me, it was too drawn out and focused on the young boy's misery, which became sad and somewhat tedious. The boy, Toby Tyler, ran away to join the circus. Because of his youth and innocence, he was greatly taken advantage of during his circus career.

The moral of the story, put forth in no uncertain terms, is "the grass is always greener," as well as "don't run away from home." This is a good book for children aged 8-to-12, but I would advise parents to read it first to determine if the boy's hardships would be too disturbing for your child.

Five Stars

Bought for a gift for a friend who LOVED it-thx to seller for selling it!

Not all the stories!

The book cover shown is a 6 chapter book with the complete stories of Homer Price. (I know, we own the paperback). This audio file only has 3 of the 6 stories. For $7 that seems vaguely ridiculous and misleading. It's only half the book.

Members Reviews:

Satisfying conclusion to the series

My boys (ages 8 and 10) have really enjoyed this series. As an adult I would say that the plot is slightly more predictable, but the kids didn't seem to notice - or frankly care.

As with all three books, be aware this has blood / fear / suspense so is not suitable for the squeamish or very young. It also has some very emotional moments e.g. when Nat struggles with his shapeshifting and (SPOILER) ... feels his friends and family may not be able to support him or like him. You might need the tissues on hand for emotional types, but it is OK in the end. Promise.

I would strongly advise listening to these books in order as the plot builds significantly on the previous two books.

Great clear narration Lovely recording.

Members Reviews:

I give up

I am giving up on the Missing series. The storyline has gotten way too confusing and boring. I also don't think I can put up with Chris Sorenson's sing-song puppet show voice. He pauses for 1-3 seconds after EVERY sentence. That is a lot of dead space. A waste of valuable listening time. I do like most of Haddix's books. This one just isn't working for me.

(Please note that this is a young adult book and I am an old adult, so take that into consideration when reading my review. It might be perfectly enticing to an 11- year-old.)

Good story! SLOW performance!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend the book with one warning. Up the speed on your app to 1.5 times normal speed. The story is good, but the narrator DRAGS!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Torn?

The most memorable moment was when you realize time has been split into two different dimensions.

What three words best describe Chris Sorensens voice?

SLOW, That's all!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

NO! I had to listen to the the first half before I realized you could speed up the narration.

Any additional comments?

I am hoping to find out who Jonah is in the next book, or I may give up on the series.

Members Reviews:

The illustrations are amazing & the story is well worth the price

I bought this series of books (Tales of Terror) based solely on my interest in David Roberts' fantastic illustrations and ended up loving the stories and the way they were written as well.

The books contain a small amount of English vocabulary that might not be familiar to readers outside of the UK, but these are such creatively crafted stories, and they are so thoughtfully described that I could easy envision each scene and character in my mind.

David Robert's illustration style is a perfect match for these dark stories and are reminiscent of the late Edward Gorey's cross-hatch ink drawings.

Four Stars

Good read. 4 stars becasue in kindle version the illustrations are small

Cuentos de Terror en la Boca del Tunel

Es el tercer libro que compro de la serie, al igual que los anteriores esta ambientado en diferentes historias donde el protagonista se va enterando de muchas pistas que le ayudaran a descrubrir el inesperado final! buen libro :D
