Beware of this travesty- it's dull and stilted!

Beware, the beauty of literature is not in this edition! THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE PUFFIN IN BLOOM EDITION ONLY. Heidi is such an awesome story, the translation by Helen Dole reads so beautifully and engages the reader to follow closely along, to interact and enter into the adventure. This book has short sentences, as if to hand feed the reader so that they don't need to pay attention or engage. In other words- it's a dumbed-down translation!! Please don't deprive young readers of good literature! There is a place for simplified versions of books BUT that should be clear when purchasing that it isn't the original version and writing has been altered. This book changes the names of characters too. It is a travesty!! So, if all you want is a "pretty" cover - fine, but even the inside illustrations aren't good - it saddened me and I sent it back. Thank you, Amazon for ease of returns. Please be aware that Amazon sells different editions translated differently. Perhaps you'll find a new edition that is better than this one. I'm very happy with the used copy I found on Amazon with a copy write date of 1945. The illustrations are wonderful and the language is beautiful, and the names are not Americanized. The Puffin in Bloom edition has a character named Barbie.

Another Place and Time

This is a lovely story about family and redemption. Spyri does a wonderful job of bringing the Alps to life, so much so, you can almost feel the brisk snowy air and hear the wind whispering through the trees. It's a sweet little fantasy, and well loved by generations for a good reason. I read it as a child and revisited it recently, and it was just as I remembered it after 40 some years, even better in fact because I appreciate the deeper themes so much better. Human nature is one thing that doesn't change, and the story of Heidi gives a lot of talking points for parents and grandparents to share with children, probably the 9 to 11 year old crowd, both boys and girls. For the adult crowd, it's a gem of a story to bring us to another place and time, about as far from this crazy, hectic life as is possible.

A true classic

This story was always my wife's favorite. She forced us to watch the movie one day and both my daughter and I fell in love with the story with her. I'm not sure exactly what is so captivating about this story but it seems to draw you in. I guess it's the story of these children who are living in a shadow type of life and figure out on their own how to live in the sunlight. I don't want to say much more on the story or it may ruin it for some.

Well written story. Great for all ages.

What a wonderful job Burnett does bringing this book to life

What a wonderful job Burnett does bringing this book to life. Three children who needed each other came together and since I don't want to ruin the story for others who may want to read this book, I will not spoil it. The book made me laugh, cringe, happy, and sad. I couldn't put the book down.

I will say when life throws you lemons make lemonade. This book clearly demonstrates that.

Do not miss the chance to read this book. It is that good!

Wonderfully evocative children's tale.

One of my all time favourite childhood books, I have reread this so many times over 50+ years that I have lost count. The robin, Dickon, the garden, Ben Weatherstaff, the lingo, the house - all speak to me of my Yorkshire childhood. To this day I still want a walled garden of my very own. Sadly, this may be a book that will not appeal to this age's techy kids, but I hope it still gets read in some little corners, somewhere. Hopefully, classics like this will never rust and fade away.

Wonderful on so many levels that I thoroughly enjoyed it

A classic I had not read as a child. Wonderful on so many levels that I thoroughly enjoyed it, even as adult reading. The metaphor of the garden coming to life was beautifully crafted and the characters are well developed. One slowly starts to like even the least likeable ones, as they start to blossom and come to life, just like the garden.

Title: The Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King

Author: Max Brallier

Narrator: Robbie Daymond

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-17

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A very funny postapocalyptic novel, companion to the New York Times best-selling The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade!

Life after the zombie apocalypse is pretty good for 13-year-old Jack Sullivan: He lives in a mind-clobberingly cool tree fort with his best friends, speeds through town playing Real-Life Mario Kart, has a crew of monster buddies, battles zombies on the regular, and generally treats life like it's a video game!

But then Jack's friends make a startling discovery: They may not be the last kids on Earth after all. This is great news for everyone...except Jack. Once they've found other humans, his friends won't stick around for long! Jack's only hope for keeping things the way they are is to prove that everything here is perfect, life is crazy fun, and nothing else could be any better.

One problem: It's hard convincing his friends that everything is great when they're being hunted by a monstrous Nightmare King and an ancient evil who won't rest until Earth has been devoured. Crud! Maybe life after the monster apocalypse is more complicated than Jack thought....

Publisher's Summary:

Listen to the story of the founding father who inspired the smash Broadway musical.

Born in the British West Indies and orphaned as a child, Alexander Hamilton made his way to the American colonies and studied to become a lawyer. He joined a local militia during the American Revolution, rose to the rank of major general, and became the chief aide to General George Washington. After the war he became the first US secretary of the Treasury. He founded the Bank of New York and the New York Post newspaper. He served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and is also celebrated as a coauthor of The Federalist Papers, a series of essays that are still used today to interpret the US Constitution.

The end of his life became a national scandal when he was shot and killed in a duel with then-vice president Aaron Burr.

Members Reviews:

Excellent historical reading for kids!

My 9 yr old son enjoyed this story very much and every chapter was intriguing.

Great for kids who listen to Hamilton soundtrack

My kids love the Hamilton soundtrack - this book summarizes many of the bigger turning points of Hamilton's life in a way they will benefit from, to understand US history and the libretto of the musical.

Publisher's Summary:

A Pakistani-American Muslim girl struggles to stay true to her family's vibrant culture while simultaneously blending in at school after tragedy strikes her community in this sweet and moving middle-grade novel from the award-winning author of It's Ramadan, Curious George and Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns.

Amina has never been comfortable in the spotlight. She is happy just hanging out with her best friend, Soojin. Except now that she's in middle school everything feels different. Soojin is suddenly hanging out with Emily, one of the "cool" girls in the class, and even talking about changing her name to something more "American." Does Amina need to start changing too? Or hiding who she is to fit in?

While Amina grapples with these questions, she is devastated when her local mosque is vandalized. Amina's Voice brings to life the joys and challenges of a young Pakistani American and highlights the many ways in which one girl's voice can help bring a diverse community together to love and support each other.

Critic Reviews:

"Amina's anxieties are entirely relatable, but it's her sweet-hearted nature that makes her such a winning protagonist." (

Entertainment Weekly)

Members Reviews:

adorable middle grade story, need 1000x more

This book was a really cute middle grade book exploring an American preteen of Pakistani descent.

Im Afro-Cuban so thats a completely different narrative for me, and I felt like Amina was a friend teaching me about her culture and religion.

She struggled to juggle being American, Asian, Muslim, a lot of identity not addressed in most mg or ya books. Her best friend was of Korean descent and addressed why how sometimes they have two names.

Even though it addressed a lot of culture, it isn't actually about her struggling with it which I loved. Its nice to see a narrative where someone isn't rejecting their culture just because no one outside of family isn't the same culture.

Shout out to having a name no one can pronounce. This is an own voices book and it really shows because its done with a lot of knowledge and respect. I wish I knew more books like this, it was so cute :-)

So good!

This was SO good, cute, heartbreaking, and I loved it so so much! I can't recommend this enough.
