Members Reviews:

I enjoyed hearing my son read them aloud

This series made a reader out of my 8yr old! Thank you, David Adler! I enjoyed hearing my son read them aloud. It was the perfect blend of phonetic words and sight words to help him build vocabulary and fluency....I highly recommend it. The plot moves along well. THe characters are likeable and it includes jokes in context to look forward to.

Five Stars

Great book for 3rd graders.

Great for Beginning Readers

These books are great for beginning chapter book readers, especially those who like a little mystery. My daughter did well with and enjoyed these.

Good pre-teen read

Bought this book for my granddaughter, who loves mysteries, and she said she liked it a lot. She has since read other books by this author.

Perfect, Fantastic Books for Children Ages 7-11

I have nothing to do with the Cam mystery book series.... I just have a 9-year old daughter who was struggling to read for a while, then when we found this series, it all came together for her and she hasn't been able to put the books down. Our daughter has been swept off her feet by the Cam Jansen series, which was NOT CREATED FOR ADVANCED ADULT READERS, but for beginning CHILD readers, ages 7-10 or so. What makes this series great is that the lead character, Cam, doesn't have any real special super powers, but uses her brain and photographic memory to solve mysteries. It teaches children how to really obverse what is happening around them, and take small details in, in every moment. This skill, deep observation, will then later come back and help Cam solve very simple mysteries. Cam is not supposed to be overly complex, as these books are for kids who are LEARNING TO READ. Deeply rooted, complicated characters would not serve this series. This series is about putting together very basic little clues and figuring out new words that are related to the theme of the book. We are on book 26 now, and she has devoured books 1-25 at a rate of almost one book every 2-3 days.

Furthermore, I really appreciate the fact that this is an author doesn't make his characters call one another "stupid" or "idiot" or have the characters acting in "grown-up" ways so he can tap into our internet-jaded children these days, who are numbed by sweet, simple characters in sweet, simple stories. I don't want my 7 or 9 year old reading books that are too complex just yet... There is a time and place for everything.

I highly recommend these books for beginning readers who like mysteries, and for parents who appreciate the simple books that don't have sassy, snotty characters that your children will end up imitating around the house.

Title: The Prince and the Pauper

Author: Mark Twain

Narrator: Kenneth Jay

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-22-09

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

It is England in the time of Henry VII. Two boys meet. They were born on the same day; they look identical but they are not from the same family. Tom Canty is a pauper living in a hovel in the back streets of London, surviving as a beggar. Edward is Prince of Wales and about to become Edward VI.

By a sudden twist of fate, they find themselves in each other's circumstances, the pauper raised to royalty and the prince - to the state of a pauper.

This engaging fantasy is one of the classics of children's literature from the pen of Mark Twain. Woven into the fragment of an exciting story involving two boys trying to make sense of their worlds is a wealth of historical detail coloring the life and times of Tudor England.

Editorial Reviews:

Kenneth Jay's lively performance of this Mark Twain classic is pitch-perfect, capturing very neatly its wry wit and humor. Twain's The Prince and the Pauper tells the story of two young boys, one heir to the throne and one a beggar child with an abusive father and miserable life among the country's lower class. Despite their differences, however, they have one thing in common: They're practically identical. Each tired of his lot in life, the two switch places, but soon begin to regret their impetuous swap....

Jay is a natural storyteller who injects just the right touch of colloquialism into his presentation of this well-known story, maintaining listener interest through his strong mastery of tonal shift and his clear, distinct diction.

Critic Reviews:

"Mark Twain's classic fantasy comes to life in this outstanding reading and interpretation by British actor Kenneth Jay." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Story Comes Alive

Although I had read this book several times since I was a child, and enjoyed it, I loved the way the narrator brought it alive. He does the different characters with skill, making you think that there is, for sure, several people doing the narration. Listen to this one for pure enjoyment and to get the kids hooked on the classics.

Title: The Picts and the Martyrs

Subtitle: Swallows and Amazons Series

Author: Arthur Ransome

Narrator: Alison Larkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-16-09

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 29 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The Amazons are dismayed; not only will their solo holiday be ruined but now they'll have to hide their two guests in the woods in an abandoned shepherd's cottage (where they'll be forced to live off the land like savages, ergo "The Picts") while they'll be required to dress up in white pinafores, practice the pianoforte, and recite reams of parlor poetry aloud (ergo "The Martyrs"). Not much stretch here; no one dares trifle with the G.A.

As usual with Ransome, the fun is gentle, the action nonstop, and the instructions on everything from tickling trout to setting anchors are precise and informed. Even the formidable maiden aunt proves to have virtues, not the least of which is her ability to say she's sorry.

This is the eleventh title in a beloved series that has endeared itself to three generations of readers (and now listeners) - books as credible today as when Ransome penned them on the shores of his beloved Lake District in the 1930s.

(All 12 novels in the Swallows and Amazons series have been brought to life in the U.S. in print by David R. Godine, Publisher.)

So many wonderful memories of childhood

Alison Larkin has a pleasant voice, her reading is nicely paced and she is able to capture a flavour of the north-country accents. This all makes for easy listening while avoiding any hint of monotony. Having owned and loved the Ransome books for 50 years hearing them read to me has been a real treat! The Picts and the Martyrs is one of my favourites. Thank you Alison.

Ransome & Larkin, Just Divine

My family absolutely adores this entire series. Ransome has written wholesome adventures with spirited but thoughtful free-range children of an era now generations past. Allison Larkin is a magical narrator. As a professional singer, I appreciate her ever authentic and clear voice. Without forcing or pushing her voice I am able to discern the tone and pattern of each character clearly. As such, I feel as if I know each character personally. Larkin is my all-time favorite narrator.

Critic Reviews:

"The Farfield Curse brims with mystery, magic, and fun. Kaleb Nation's wry sense of humor kept me smiling, even while the mystical sparks flew.Get ready for lots of surprises and watch out for gnomes!" (D.J. MacHale, author of the Pendragon Series)

Members Reviews:

Not a bad start...

Let me start by saying that I did finish this book and I will probably check out the sequel. That is not necessarily a sign of a well written book though, as I did slog through all those popular vampire stories too.

This book could have been very good, not great but a fun imaginitive adventure if it had been proofread prior to publication. The premise is fun but the writing feels unfinished with unnecessary conversations that drag inteminably plus a huge inconsistency in the hero's intelligence from page to page. Nobody who has the conversations and uses the vocabulary that Bran does could be believed to be that dense. The supporting characters are a bit better but several of the more important ones lack development and fail to be likable. The bumbling stupidity shown by most of the adults in the story fails to be funny and silly as it should be and is, actually, a bit insulting. It feels as though someone who writes quite well for adults has tried to create a children's book by taking very young books and adult novels and running them through a blender. Kids are not all stupid and want as much an anybody to read intelligently. I still have high hopes for the author as the story is quite fun and the monsters and suspense are well done.

The narration also leaves a bit to be desired. Mr. Thompson does a lovely job with most of the characters and even manages to make some of the dialogue believable but he could use a bit of work on the women's voices. Most of the female voices are shrill and vapid and although the women are written to be more intelligent then the male characters, they come across as a bit too saccharine.

In spite of my criticism, I did actually enjoy the story and I hope Mr. Nation takes a few more creative writing classes and tries again. Maybe if the author had a higher opinion of his readers' intelligence he would stop dumbing down his characters and write a really fun adventure story that everyone could enjoy.

Pretty Awful

Where do these books come from? Did someone run it past an editor?

While this is a childrens book, it starts off like an adult book with a rather cold blooded murder. Then continues as if written to 5 or 6 year olds with adult characters behaving childishly, interminable pointless dialog and dragging out a story line beyond endurance. I couldn't get past Part 1, skipped to Part 3 and managed to endure to the end. Two of my children listened to parts of this story and told me it wasn't very well written.

Title: The Moves Make the Man

Publisher's Summary:

First time I saw Bix was at a baseball game. He was a shortstop, supreme. I didn't want to start liking this flashy cracker with a momma in a high-style black dress. But Bix got me, baby. Next thing I knew, there I was, Jerome Foxworthy, doing hoops privately in the woods and getting my moves down, when Bix showed up. I taught him all I knew-- even though he wanted to play everything straight, not fake it. Because he had one game coming up where he'd need all the moves to put his life together again.

©1984 Bruce Brooks; (P)1996 Recorded Books

Members Reviews:

one of my all time favorites

Children are taught that they should tell the truth, no matter what. But is that how things really are? There's truth, and there's diplomacy. How much of truth is in diplomacy, and vice versa? What if a child isn't taught diplomacy? Does that make his world black and white?

That seems to be the case for Bix Rivers, since he went from complete honesty to complete dishonesty after realizing that complete honesty doesn't always work. He doesn't understand that sometimes you have to fumble through the gray areas in order to get to where you're going. Jerome Foxworthy tries to explain it to him, but Bix just doesn't get it.

I admire Bruce Brooks for bringing such intriguing questions to kids, and doing it through a fun and interesting story.

Good sport book

Gift for grandson and he loves basketball

Still using the book. Students are loving the unlikely ...

Frances E. Ruffin explores this inspiring figure in all his complexity, and captures the hardships, prejudice, and violence Douglass endured as he fought for justice.

Members Reviews:

Great if you're 9 years old

Did I miss the part that alerted us to the fact that this is written as a grammar school level primer? The reader stops to say, "Note: at this time in America, slaves were..." Or he verbalizes the quotation marks as in, "Douglass said Quote, we are all brethren, end quote." It's ridiculous.

Children's biography!

This is a biography for children. I heard it say audiblekids when I started the book. It would have been nice if it would have explained that here in the description. It was written and read for children. It is about a third or fourth grade level and the reader enunciates each word!

Tell us its a children's book

Its probably a fine book - for children. But tell us it is for children. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS A CHILDREN'S BOOK!!!!

I am NOT happy about this

Worst reading I've ever heard

The actual story of FD's life was great, but the reading done by Jones was by far, hands down, no questions asked, the worst narration I've ever heard by anyone over the age of seven. I love Audible, and have enjoyed dozens of books, but this was an unfortunate first for me.

Interesting and informative but dull reader

I am guessing the book and reader were maybe aimed at a children's audience. While I did learn a good deal and am glad I listened, the reader has a very dull monotone that was difficult to enjoy.
