Someone Special

Someone Special has a message for readers (and listeners) of all ages. We all need to stop comparing ourselves to other people and recognize what we do well and what makes us unique. This book is a start at looking at ways you might be special and also a reminder to appreciate that we are all special in different ways. It's so delightful to read the poem and the message is one that's relevant no matter what age we are because life will bring disappointment and remind us that we are imperfect. We need reminders throughout our lives that although we are not perfect we are all special in our own unique way. For self esteem, it's worth exploring what it is that makes you unique.

Title: Rowan the Strange

Author: Julie Hearn

Narrator: Tim Bruce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-04-11

Publisher: Oakhill Publishing Ltd

Genres: Kids, Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Rowan knows he is strange.

But dangerous? He didn't scare his sister.

In his right mind, he wouldn't hurt a fly.

But there's a place he can go where they say they can fix his mind.

As the second World War begins, Rowan is diagnosed as schizophrenic and sent away to a hospital where the latest treatments are available. But the treatments are experimental still-and nobody predicts the effect they will have on Rowan.

Critic Reviews:

"Nothing short of extraordinary." (Guardian)

Members Reviews:

A lot less scary than it appears

The cover and the description for this book are highly misleading; they make it sound like it's going to be some creepyOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nesttype story, or even science fiction. Instead, although the characters and setting is indeed a troubling one -- the patients and staff at a mental hospital in Britain in 1939 -- the story is, in the end, almost heartwarming.

There were so many characters to appreciate here. Rowan's family, particularly his eccentric dog-loving grandmother, captivated me. Though stressed and bewildered by his illness, they truly wanted what was best for him. The same for his psychiatrist, Dr. von Metzer, a kind and compassionate doctor whose biggest problem was being German in a very xenophobic Britain. Dorothea was annoying but refreshingly real, and the other patients in Rowan's unit were fully drawn, not just cardboard cutouts like supporting characters often are. Even the bad people in the story weren't evil, just bigoted and selfish.

The historical details of the early war -- gas masks, blackout curtains, evacuations of children to the countryside -- were authentic and added color to the story without seeming too didactic. I thought the subplot about Germany's T4 program was very well done.

I would recommend Rowan the Strange to junior high schoolers up through adulthood. There's a lot for people to like in this book.

Members Reviews:

a new classic

Wow! What a delight this is. It's like Roald Dahl meets Stan Lee with a touch of Doctor Who and a pinch of mischief thrown in for good measure. I only bought this yesterday and just finished it this morning. Its the closest I've come to unputdownable in a long time. Every so often you get a great classic book for youngsters, Harry Potter of course, and then the His Dark Materials books. There-s a touch of the excitement I got out of the early Lemony Snickets but this is much fresher and as yet hasn't become bogged down with formula. Every page still takes you by surprise and yes, I have to say this trumps them all as far as I'm concerned because it has all the darkness but none of the pomposity. It is sheer fun, in a Spike Milligan kind of way. It's dark fun that keeps you gripped that scares you, thrills you and titillates at the same time. Great word play, great fun and fantastic characters. I'm gonna get book 2 straight away and hope it lives up to expectations and that books 3, 4 and more follow soon.

Very few will ever care to read this. Am I talking about the book or my review? That is a good question.

I, Personally, was very interested and enjoyed the book the whole way through. I found it at a hand-me-down bookstore for like...seven dollars so that was lucky. Oh, the wonders of the old.

WHOA this is epicness born

I got this book for my birthday and didn't put it down till I had read it 5 times that night. This book is amazing and I recommend it for middle schoolers and above. This book has a little bit of a scare in it so DEFINATLY not for kids who are scared easily. lol Enjoy!!!!!

Members Reviews:

Lovely story, wonderful illustrations.

We just love all of Jackie French's Wombat series books and hope more are to come. Each of these books are beautifully illustrated, and follow the trials and tribulations of a wombat. On our recent trip to Australia from the US, our young son was most excited to see wombats because of these books. They are lovely stories. You won't be disappointed!

I fell in love all over again

Okay, so maybe the title is a slight exaggeration, but not too much. I was looking up the precursor (Diary of a Wombat) to order a copy for my mother so she could read it to my nephews when I stumbled across this gem. I ordered myself a copy and if the original is a hit with the boys, then she will be getting a copy for her library soon enough. I, personally, loved this one almost as much as the first and would recommend it to anyone I know. I am 27 and have both books in my personal collection...no kids, it is just for me.

fun book

my 5 year old grandson & I love this book. it's always nice to see a child who's laughing, because he's "getting" the humor.. I would recommend starting with "diary of a wombat."

A good book, but not as good as the original.

I know it sounds obvious, it's hard to compete with the original. Diary of a Baby Wombat is cute, but I wish it would have tried harder to stick to the diary style that Diary of a Wombat was written in. The funniest parts of both books are when it describes the wombat's actions with a few words, but this is the majority of the first book, while this book strays from that too often.

Delightful

A delightful addition to the Wombat series, a fun easy read for beginners or story tellers, easy to elaborate on the emotions of a baby wombat's days of curiousity and wonder; in a ever changing world full of discovery and challenge. Perfect for that toddler to first grader who can relate to being wide eyed and ready for adventure and learning.

Titolo: L'Incompreso [Misunderstood]

Autore: Florence Montgomery

Narratore: Claudia Giannelli

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 5 hrs and 14 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 05-26-11

Editore: Club degli Audiolettori

Categoria: Kids, Fiction

Riepilogo Editore:

Secondo l'autrice, la vita come la concepiscono i bambini, dal loro limitato punto di vista, non viene sufficientemente approfondita, anzi a volte, sopravvalutata o incompresa. Il vedovo Duncombe, si affida alla severa governante Virginie, per crescere i suoi due bambini: Humphrey di sette anni ed il piccolo e malaticcio Miles di quattro. Come spesso accade, l'attenzione e la protezione di un genitore, viene attratta maggiormente dal figlio più bisognoso di attenzioni. In questo caso Miles, essendo spesso malato e più piccolo di tre anni del fratello, riceve maggiori considerazioni di Humphrey ritenuto più grande e più insensibile alla mancanza della mamma. Ma la realtà risulta completamente diversa quando narrata dal diretto interessato.

Un libro indimenticabile, profondo, emozionante che lascia il segno.
