The storms are coming....

Something has happened to Serafina. She has awoken into a darkness she does not understand, scarred from a terrible battle, only to find that life at Biltmore Estate has changed in unimaginable ways. Old friends do unthinkable things, and enemies seem all around.

A mysterious threat moves toward Biltmore, a force without a name, bringing with it violent storms and flooding that stands to uproot everything in its path. Serafina must uncover the truth about what has happened to her and find a way to harness her strange new powers before it's too late.

With only days to achieve the impossible, Serafina fights to reclaim herself as the Guardian of Biltmore, friend of Braeden, daughter of her Pa, and heroine of the Blue Ridge Mountains and all the folk and creatures that call it home.

In the epic third installment of Robert Beatty's best-selling series, Serafina takes her rightful place among literary champions as she battles fiercely to defend all she loves and become everything that she is meant to be.

Beatty's best

Story captured my interest immediately. Hard to put down. Positive self-esteem within the characters to influence the reader.

good books

listened with my 11 year old grand daughter and we loved it, hope he has a book 4.

Very Disappointing!

If you loved the first two books PLEASE dont read this one. I was so excited to get their book because the first two were so good. This one did not even begin to get good until around Chapter 40?!?! I kept listening waiting and hoping for it to finally get good. It never did. I still have 2 more hours left in the book so I guess Ill see. I really felt like she just wrote this one for the money. It was a backwards upside down inside out version of all her other works (which I thoroughly enjoyed). Overall I was just highly disappointed. Im not sure what book the other reviewers listened to. I found myself listening in order to get to a good part, waiting for her usual work, again it never came.

Truly Amazing

This series is AMAZING!

At first I thought it was a cheesy kid book, but when I got through half way of the book, I was IN LOVE! I would recommend this to anyone. Five stars all the way.

aesome

out of all the books ( all awsome ) this one toched me the most R.B you are an amazibg writer thankyou for your book

Publisher's Summary:

Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay may be the children of terrible villains, but they're fitting in amazingly well on Auradon.

Well, at least most of them are.

For Mal, the pressure to be royally perfect is too intense, so she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost. But Mal soon finds that her archenemy, Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed Princess of Evil. Even worse, Uma has a plan to destroy Auradon - and a gnarly gang of pirates to back her up!

It's a classic battle between wicked and evil...and these kids are made for trouble.

Members Reviews:

Perfect summer read for my kids while we travel!

Would you listen to Descendants 2 again? Why?

I love the writing in this book. The moral of choosing good over evil, and that we are not destined to a negative outcome just because we may be born or raised in a circumstance beyond our control, is just so inspiring!! The positivity in this book was great!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Descendants 2?

I love how the story unfolds. Descendants 1 ends in a great wrap-up. Decendants 2 weaves a great story into a satisfying conclusion - you'll love it.

Which character as performed by Kyla Garcia was your favorite?

Mal - her personality was spot on!

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

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

In the continuing story of Anne Shirley, Anne attends Redmond College in Kingsport, where she is studying for her BA.

Members Reviews:

The reader was choppy

He didn't read sentences fluidly! He would pause at the wrong times. The reader can sometimes make our break a story.

Great Story, Horrible Reading

What did you love best about Anne of the Island?

I loved the story, I thought it was fun and a good continuation of Anne of Green Gables.This is Anne's college years and is a nice story about Anne growing up.

How could the performance have been better?

Was the narrator a robot? I have been listening to LM Montgomery's Anne series and the constant mispronouncing of Avonlea drove me crazy. This was the cheapest version of the story, and it shows: the narrator does not do justice to the story. I would recommend listening to a different version.

Is this narration done by a computer? It is terrible

The audiobook is unbearable to listen to. The first two books of the series have different narrators and are enjoyable. This one makes me want to smack the guy. The pauses are in the wrong places and the voice emphasizes the wrong words. It is bad.

Wrong pronunciation

My only issue is that it really bothered me every time the narrator read "Avonlea" and pronounced it "A-vawn-lee-Ah" when it's just "A-vawn-lee". Being half Islander half Nova Scotian I'm very aware of it's proper pronunciation so it was like nails on a chalkboard every time. was actually sort of painful not going to lie.

Great book, needs different narrator.

I could not get into this book, read monotonly, by a man. His voice is so deep and I did not get the Anne of Green Gables Vibe at all. He's great at narrating but he probably should do something like Ben-Hur.

Title: Posted

Author: John David Anderson

Narrator: Patrick Lawlor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-02-17

Publisher: Harper Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

From John David Anderson, author of the acclaimed Ms. Bixby's Last Day, comes a humorous, poignant, and original contemporary story about bullying, broken friendships, and the failures of communication between kids.

In middle school, words aren't just words. They can be weapons. They can be gifts. The right words can win you friends or make you enemies. They can come back to haunt you. Sometimes they can change things forever.

When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, Frost and his friends Deedee, Wolf, and Bench come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes - though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well.

In the middle of this, a new girl named Rose arrives at school and sits at Frost's lunch table. Rose is not like anyone else at Branton Middle School, and it's clear that the close circle of friends Frost has made for himself won't easily hold another. As the sticky-note war escalates and the pressure to choose sides mounts, Frost soon realizes that after this year, nothing will ever be the same.

Members Reviews:

REMARKABLY WELL DONE!!!

Holy Cow! I was not expecting such an imploring book!!! It was truly and remarkably well done!!! I will be listening to this book every winter, for sure! :D

Wonderful original story for Beaty & the Beast fan

Wonderful original story about Belle's time in the Beast's castle before the curse is broken. I must say the story intrigued me when I first heard about it being a voracious reader like Belle and also a big fan of the Beauty & the Beast story. Listening to Jenna Augen's lovely British accent made the story even more delightful. The story had a worthwhile moral to it that wasn't overbearing but portrayed with just the right amount of prodding making the true meaning of Belle's journey more poignant. I enjoyed revisiting the world of Beauty & the Beast immensely!

I wanted to punch Belle in the face!

This story is sooo good. I started it immediately after BATB. After I finished BATB..I was totally in love with Beast. So..in this story..when Belle started tripping..and bein all asshattery with Beast...I kinda wanted to punch her right smack in the face. Every time she went to Nevermore..I got PISSED. Meanwhile, they're left at the castle TRYING THEIR BEST to make her ungrateful azz happy and comfortable. Ugh..after her little performance..the ONLY reason I even wanted her to make it back..was so that the gang wouldn't die. Other than that...she coulda left her lil stubborn behind LOST IN THAT DAMN BOOK. I didn't even care. All I cared about was Beast's happiness. Oooweee..and when it looked like she was about to give Onree(sp?) the necklace Beast gave her.....Mannn..I had to get up and walk it off. I was HEATED..FORREAL. I was like "Bye, Felicia...keep yo azz in nevermore..ole ungrateful hag!"

It was a really good book. I almost forgot it was just a book. My attitude was off the charts.

10 out of 10 would recommend

I loved the reading, it was so well done and the story is just so captivating you can't help but keep listening

If you were left wanting a little more... you'll find it here!

If you were left wanting a little more after seeing Beauty and the Beast in theaters...

This book is a bit darker than the other books in the series but life isn't always rainbows. This is my favorite of the series. It seems to reflect the gritty reality of Laura and Manly's tribulations.

You need more words in the story and it needs to be longer needs more detail.

Bought this for my 6year old and she loves it . Spends hours listening to it.

A Fine Addition to the Boxcar Canon

The first 19 Boxcar Children books were actually written by Gertrude Warner, (the first one in 1924, then 18 more between 1949 and 1976). After that, like The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and the like, the books were written by other authors, but always identified as "Created by Gertrude Chandler Warner". In total there are about 145 Boxcar Children Mysteries, and over 20 "Specials". The four kids have never aged, although their adventures have been brought up from the 1920's to modern times. Anyway, Albert Whitman & Company, which appears to have been the caretaker of the series since the first book was reissued in 1942, has come up with a brand new five volume "Great Adventure" set, of which this is the first volume.

The premise here is that the Boxcar Children, (the four Alden siblings), have been recruited by a secret society to return lost artifacts to their rightful original homes. To do that they'll have to travel all over the world, being guided and supported by the secret society and its global network of agents. The upshot is that the Aldens get to travel, (along with the reader), to exotic foreign locations in the company of a few fun recurring characters and a wide range of one-time guest agents. They also learn a bit about the artifacts they handle. This really opens up the series, and who doesn't like world travel and shady global conspiracies?

This first volume is the tamest of the five, because the premise has to be set up. While still at home, the Aldens have to come to grips with a few small mysteries and solve some puzzles in order to earn the trust of the society. Then it's off to Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico to return an item. By the end they are being pointed to their next, more exotic, destination. This is whirlwind plotting and pacing, with lots of lurking and eavesdropping and clue finding and problem solving and bad guys, (there are always bad guys), and some avoiding and escaping.

This version of the Boxcar Children is fresh and modern. We're in a world of laptops, WiFi and GPS. The boys and girls are equal players, and since the books are new you don't encounter those awkward bits of old-fashioned nonsense that you sometimes have to overlook when revisiting other older adventure series. The writing is crisp and direct and clearly aimed at younger readers. A nice touch is that the older kids often explain more advanced words, references, and historical bits to the youngest Alden, Benny, and these explanations, of course, are also intended to help younger readers follow what's happening. That sort of in-book annotating struck me as a nice touch.

In any event, though, the bottom line is that the books are fun, fast paced, clever, and entertaining.
