Moving and sweet.

Wonderful little audio book that covers the themes of friendship, grief, family, love, school, courage, bullying and coming of age in a very sweet and moving story. This worked very well as an audio book and would be equally good as a read aloud

Simple and Sweet

Great story about friendship, family and growing up. Easy to listen to! Worth the time!

Members Reviews:

A good read for Christian girls

Sophie's Stormy Summer is a nice addition to the Sophie Series. The Sophie Series is about a Christian girl in the public school system. Sophie has many troubles with friends and school problems throughout the series, and she has to rely on God to help her through them. In this book, one of Sophie's friends develops leukemia. The plotline is good, and enforces strong Christian morals. However, some parts seem slightly exagerrated on how Sophie's best friend Fiona is a bit overly dramatic (she seems like a bit of a jerk), and, of course, the snobby girls in the series always act bizarrely cruel. These are minor setbacks, though, and I would encourage anybody who likes the Sophie Series to not miss this volume, even if it is borrowed from the library.

10yr old daughter loves!

Good clean book with good messages. Page turners for daughter. Like how I don't have to worry what inappropriate things she might be reading

Five Stars

Exactly as described

Great book for 11 and 12 year olds learning about faith in God

My daughter is headed for middle school next year so she can definitely relate to Sophie and her concerns about this new "frontier". All the Sophie books are well written and keep us both wanting to read more. This book is no exception. Sophie is learning that being a true friend

sometimes involves sacrificing things that are important to you.

She is also learning that being a Christian means relying on God to guide

you through the "storms" of life. These are lessons that I want my daughter to learn. She's not so interested in devotional books anymore but LOVES stories so this is a great way for us to read and grow together.

I liked this book

This book is good and interesting. About how Kitty gets leukimia and Sophie and the Flakes try to help her. Sophie gives her hair to locks of love and then, to help Kitty not be the only one teased at school, she shaves off her hair completely. This book is a good book for girls 9-12 or so.

Very good

Our grandson loves this series.

Recommended for young readers!

The Jack Stalwart Series is perfect for children who are ready to read chapter books. Ours is six years old and reading very well. He carries a Stalwart book under his arm, always eager to read the next chapter. I especially like that each story takes place in a different part of the world. Highly recommended!

Quite a fun adventure

Great book for kids -- my 8 y/o son loves it.

Great series for young readers

Great series for young readers. I have ready one or two of these myself to insure my son was doing a proper book report and to my surprise it was a really good read. He loves these books and once he starts he can't put it down.

Very good read for young boys!

My grand nephew is 8 years old and he not only read it in one week of bedtime reading, he is recommending it to everyone...including his grandma and grandpa. He is very excited about it.

Connor Sullivan is an All-Star third baseman on his Babe Ruth League team, the Orioles. He can hit and field with the best of them, but he's got one big problem: his temper. When he strikes out or makes an error, he's a walking Mt. Vesuvius, slamming batting helmets and throwing gloves. His teammates are starting to avoid him, even his best friend Jason. His coach is ready to kick him off the team.

To make matters worse, things aren't much better at home. His dad is having trouble finding a new job after being laid off. Money is tight. Connor's dream of attending the prestigious Brooks Robinson Baseball Camp this summer seems like just that now - a dream.

When the sports editor of the school paper threatens to do a big story on his tantrums - complete with embarassing photos - Connor realizes he has to clean up his act. But can he do it in time to regain his teammates' trust and help the Orioles win the championship against the best team in the league?

Members Reviews:

Good story - bad narrator

The stories are fun except for the way they are narrated. The narrator sounds as if she is giving a news report.

Ruined by a simply dreadful narrator.

I've read Richard Burtons collection of stories and Pasolini's " Arabian Nights" is perhaps my favourite film of all time. I was looking forward to this audio collection but I found the narrators North American saccharine delivery so dreadful that I could not bear more than a few stories. I did my utmost to go beyond my dislike of her awful cloying whine /twang, but I but could not manage it. Having enjoyed a very high standard of delivery on all the other titles I have listened to from audiobooks...I just gave up on this one.

Members Reviews:

One of the most enjoyable audible books ever!

Would you consider the audio edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales to be better than the print version?

Yes, It brought it alive in such a fun way

What did you like best about this story?

It's a collection of stories; most of which I didn't know.

Have you listened to any of Robin Fields other performances before? How does this one compare?

Robin Field's narration was the best I've ever heard in all of my audible books. I walk a great deal and I listen to audio books when I walk. I burst out laughing so many times listening to cadre of characters and voices.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Definitely made me laugh.

Any additional comments?

It was VERY enjoyable.

Grimms: An all time classic

Grimms fairy tales is wonderfully narrated, and a great choice of books for childrn, since many of the new modern classics seem to have overshadowed them The kids still gather when played

Only 20% of all the Grimm stories

There are only 42 of the 211 Grim stories in this audio book. Some of the traditional ones that everyone is used to hearing from snow white to sleeping beauty, but with only 20% of them recorded, it isn't complete and if you are looking for the complete stories this isn't it. The reader does a great job and really works hard at breaking out different voices for women, girls, children, dwarves, giants, large and small animals. So this is a great starting point.

Robin Field Excellent!

Would you consider the audio edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales to be better than the print version?

Our 6 year old has listened to this audiobook at least 5 times, and her favorite stories even more. I am ecstatic to see Robin Field narrates many other children's books as well. He does a variety of voices with so much talent. His excellent narration gives a special quality to the stories, making our child want to listen to them over and over again.

Love the morals of the stories.

some new stories i have never heard

The Grimm's Fairy Tales are well known stories that fore the most I have heard ore read before, but I had not heard all of them. But I will always like the newer and modernised versons of them.

Language: English

Release date: 09-28-10

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Best-selling writer John Feinstein is back with another exciting sports-mystery, this one set behind the scenes at the storied Army-Navy football game.

Teen sportswriters Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson are thrilled to be covering "America's Game". The Black Knights of Army and the Midshipmen of Navy have met on the football field since 1890, and it's a rivalry like no other, filled with tradition. But this year, the match-up is also filled with intrigue.

For weeks, Stevie and Susan Carol have been spending time at Annapolis and West Point, getting to know the player and coaches. And the secret service agents. Since the president will be attending the game, security will, of course, be tighter than tight. As the game draws nearer, Stevie and Susan Carol can tell that the agents are getting tenser.

But as usual, when Stevie and Susan Carol cover a big event - nothing is quite as it seems, and the coaches aren't the only ones calling plays....

Members Reviews:

Great for reluctant readers

I read all Feinstein's tween series when trying to come up with something for reluctant readers. For middle school boys (and girls, really) who don't usually like reading, these books are fast-moving, usually involve deductions that are not beyond most 12-year-olds, and sports-related (the Final Four, the Super Bowl, the U.S. Open, etc.)

If you have a sports-lover who is not wild about reading, Feinstein and Mike Lupica write books that might generate some interest.

The rival: Mystery at the Army - Navy Game

Fantastic novel of perhaps the pure college division 1 rivalry. Probably this only major football rivalry game not compromised by greed of its alumni. I would rather enjoy the effort of these noble warriors than the Other Division 1 collegiate games which glorify the avarice of the alumni and the media mongrels. The Cadets and Midshipmen are the admirable student athletics who must offer the ultimate sacrifice .This easy read with great characters and historic background. Should that note that 20 percent of Midshipmen are Marines and they do march. Check opening scenes of A Few Good Men , Marine Colour Guard

Book

This books explains all issues pertaining to the Army/Navy football game. I would recommend this book to anyone that does not know the history.

Easy reading. Lots of name dropping of famous athletes ...

Book was for a 12-year-old - mystery book assignment. Easy reading. Lots of name dropping of famous athletes / sports figures, making it good for a kid who is a sports junkie but gets lost on the casual junior high sports fan. Mystery aspect was not that well developed.

poor writing, unbelievable and dated

blech. Stilted, poor writing, unbelievable and dated.

Resumen del editor:

After Tyler's father is injured in a tractor accident, his family is forced to hire migrant Mexican workers to help save their Vermont farm from foreclosure. Tyler isn't sure what to make of these workers. Are they undocumented? And what about the three daughters, particularly Mari, the oldest, who is proud of her Mexican heritage but also increasingly connected her American life. Her family lives in constant fear of being discovered by the authorities and sent back to the poverty they left behind in Mexico. Can Tyler and Mari find a way to be friends despite their differences?

In a novel full of hope, but no easy answers, Julia Alvarez weaves a beautiful and timely story that will stay with readers long after they finish it.

Please note: This title is in Spanish.

Opiniones de los miembros:

Wonderful story about a cross-cultural friendship

A wonderful story about a family of dairy farmers in Vermont who hires a trio of Mexican brothers to work at the dairy when the father has an accident and faces the prospect of losing the farm. Told through the eyes of the farmer's son and the daughter of one of the workers, the story describes the growing friendship between the two families as they navigate problems that beset both families.

I read the book in Spanish for a Spanish conversation/book club. Although billed as a book for adolescent readers, it contains a good level of Spanish and many potential topics to discuss.

Devolver al remitente

En pocas palabras, es el primer libro que capta la simbiosis maravillosa entre el trabajador migrante en busca de trabajo lejos de su hogar y la necesidad absoluta del dueño de granjas o ranchos y que no se da a basto para hacer rendir sus tierras. Si la situación economica mundial nos ha llevado a esta necesidad mutua, el verdadero espiritú de ambos pueblos, muy alejado de los prejuicios fabricados por la prensa, los gobiernos y las envidias, sale a relucir en una hermosisisma novela de dos familias que se complementan a pesar de las circunstancias.

A high quality, entertaining read

Beautifully written (we read the Spanish version). Great story written in a real and moving way about an issue that so many Americans (from both north and the south) are dealing with in one way or another. I read this with my son, who is 12, and we had some very interesting discussions. I highly recommend this for teens and their parents as an entertaining way to learn more about the realities of illegal immigration.

There is some idealized rhetoric, but it doesn't ruin the story - it just brings it to a level that middle schoolers and high schoolers can appreciate.

Good story

This is a very appealing story with likeable characters that also helps the reader understand aspects of both cultures. Those on the wrong side of the political issue, however, are just villains who don't get their story told at all. In spite of it being a kid's book, I really enjoyed it.

The story mingles the lives of a diary farm family in Vermont and a family of Mexican immigrants hired to fill a desperate need for workers.

A charming book about friendship and fitting in, delightfully read by the author, Make Way for Dyamond Daniel is surefire listening for the younger set.

Members Reviews:

Realistic book about friendship

This book is about friendship. First Dyamonde moved to another city without friends. Then there was a boy named Free...

We recommend this book to third graders, especially kids who don't have many friends. It teaches good lessons, like how to make friends, what to do if you're sad and need friends and not to judge someone, because they might have something bad in their life. It also shows you that it's important to be friends with people who don't have friends.

In our third grade class, we compared the characters in this book to those in Because of Winn Dixie. It was a great text to use to learn this impotant reading skill.

We gave this book five stars because it helps people who are sad to get happy!
