Publisher's Summary:

From legendary Hollywood director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) and best-selling author Ned Vizzini (It's Kind of a Funny Story) comes this first book in an epic new fantasy series.

Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia Walker once had everything: Two loving parents, a beautiful house in San Francisco, and all the portable electronic devices they could want. But everything changed when Dr. Walker lost his job in the wake of a mysterious incident. Now in dire straits, the family must relocate to an old Victorian house that used to be the home of occult novelist Denver Kristoff - a house that feels simultaneously creepy and too good to be true.

By the time the Walkers realize that one of their neighbors has sinister plans for them, they're banished to a primeval forest way off the grid. Their parents? Gone. Their friends? A world away. And they aren't alone. Bloodthirsty medieval warriors patrol the woods around them, supernatural pirates roam the neighboring seas, and a power-hungry queen rules the land. To survive, the siblings will have to be braver than they ever thought possible - and fight against their darkest impulses. The key may lie in their own connection to the secret Kristoff legacy. But as they unravel that legacy, they'll discover it's not just their family that's in danger...it's the entire world.

Very much worth the ride.

Honestly, didn't really have high hopes for this one going in. But, it was certainly worth it. I don't know if I'd say it's my current favorite but I really think most people would enjoy it. Chris did a great job with the characters. If you are an imaginative person at heart....you should get a kick out of this. I'm very interested to see where Chris takes this next.

Pretty good

Action packed. Kind of a Jumanji Harry Potter Narnia kind of book. Probably best read by children. Enjoyed, would recommend.

Very enjoyable listening experience.

Draws you into the story and keeps you on the edge, like a rollercoaster ride that you couldn't wait to do again. Love the entire series. I've listened to them several times. My grandkids also enjoys them too.

Great Story, really enjoyed!

It is a great story that really pulls people in. I have been listening to in the car and had my cousin catch just part of the story and they wanted to hear more

Sold as a "Cousin to Goonies"...FAR FROM IT!

This is the epitome of "struggled to get through it." Takes forever to get any real sense of what's going on. So man half baked elements introduced and never developed. Poorly developed characters, annoying. Very disappointed.

Simply Good

Classic books were usually written in a simpler time. The story is simpler to follow, the characters aren't complicated and the author's message isn't disguised. Heidi is a classic.

Title: Who Was That Masked Man, Anyway?

Author: Avi

Narrator: Jeff Woodman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-04-13

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The radio culture of World War II America comes alive with this mischievous tale of two best friends who - inspired by the Lone Ranger, the Green Hornet, and the Shadow - set out to right the wrongs of the world. Jeff Woodmans delightfully funny narration is reason enough to listen to this book!

Critic Reviews:

"[Narrator John Randolph] Jones, as the voice of the radio, and Woodman, as the voices of Avi's characters, bring this poignantly humorous book to life for a generation with no experience of listening to stories on the radio.... This audio presentation is a perfect marriage to the literature and succeeds brilliantly." (AudioFile)

Who was that Masked Man, Anyway? classroom review

This was a enjoyable book to read by my low readers. It was easy to read, fun to read in parts, and discuss dialogue in text. Since the book is out of print, it was exciting to see all the different places in the United States where the class set of books came from. The only downfall was the length of time it took (over 2 weeks) to receive the books.

Frankie Wattleston, Radio Addict!

Another Avi's WWII-set juvenile, with a novel approach: the story is told completely through dialog, like a Golden Age of Radio presentation--appropriate as our hero, Frankie Wattleston, is crazy about radio, specifically the kids' and adults' adventure serials that populate the airwaves. He and his best friend Mario create, through Frankie's vivid imagination, their own misadventures as they spy on Mr. Swerdlow, a medical-school student who is boarding at Frankie's home--and try to help their teacher, whose boyfriend was killed in battle. This is a lively, funny story about a boy addicted to radio series the way kids today are addicted to video games. I'm not sure I can quite believe that Frankie's teacher or parents would be so gullible sometimes, and the ending with Frankie's brother, withdrawn after his return from combat, seems a bit pat, but the dialog and radio series' quotes make up for any shortcomings.

Not Avi's Best

Boring and easy to figure out this was not one of Avi's best. If you're looking for a good book that will keep you on the end of your seat read: True Confessions of Miss Charlotte Doyle, the Man Who was Poe, or Wolfrider.

I wasn't expecting such a good book when I picked this one at the library ...

Wow! I wasn't expecting such a good book when I picked this one at the library to read with my 10 years-old son. It was a VERY pleasant surprise!

Set in the US during WWII, this is the story of Frankie (short for Franklin Delano Wattleson), a sixth grader crazy about radio shows and avid to save the world with his friend/sidekick Mario Clavino.

The book is all written in dialog form, plus the transcription of radio shows (including those funny commercials!). The style is really innovative. Although the story is funny, other more "real" situations are present, like Frankie's brother being wounded at the war (and coming back home suffering from depression), Mario's father dying while fighting the war, etc. These events are not display in an upsetting way, though.

I think this book is a great way of introduce historical fiction.

Date de publication: 02-20-13

Éditeur: Audiolude

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Jean de La Fontaine s'inspire des fabulistes de l'Antiquité et en particulier d'Esope, pour écrire les Fables qui feront sa renommée. Les Fables de La Fontaine sont toujours considérées comme un des plus grands chefs-d'œuvre de la littérature française.

Cet audio comprend :

L'auteur

naît en 1621. Il étudie le latin et très peu de grec, et décroche, en 1649, un diplôme d'avocat au parlement de Paris. A 26 ans, il se marie avec Marie Héricart, âgée de 14 ans. Ce mariage n'est pas très heureux: La Fontaine n'est ni bon père ni bon époux. En 1652 il entre dans l'administration des Eaux et Forêts à Château-Thierry. Excellent observateur de la vie rustique et de la nature, il fera vivre ses observations plus tard dans ses Fables. En 1658 il s'installe à Paris, où il va passer le reste de sa vie. Il commence à écrire des vers, s'inspirant d'auteurs grecs et latins. Pendant sa longue carrière littéraire, il écrit non seulement des fables, mais des contes, un opéra, des poèmes. La Fontaine, admis à l'Académie Française en 1684, meurt à Paris en 1695.

It was ok I recommend it to 5th 6th and possibly 7th graders

It was ok I recommend it to 5th 6th and possibly 7th graders. It kinda shows how a girl of enameas pull a bunch of pranks on either and have to work together to win a game thingy about schools competing and all that stuff.

Izzy

It was a good book because it teaches kids to be positive about themselfs ans it doesn't matter if people are nerds or geeks it matters about What is inside people

Nerd Girls unite!

Reading Alan's book made me proud to be a nerd girl!! It made me laugh out loud, yet was very touching and realistic. I could relate to the characters and their rivalry with the ThreePeas. If I taught in the middle grades, this book would definitely be a part of my classroom library! Highly recommend!

Four Stars

my little sister loved this book

Great Book!

My daughter is such a picky reader but loves this book along with the other Nerd Girl book, she wishes there were more!

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Daniel Corrigan is as regular as can be, especially when compared to the Supers: kids in his new hometown with actual powers like flight and super strength. But Daniel's not powerless. Only he was able to stop the Shroud, a supervillian bent on stealing his newfound friends' powers. And thanks to him, his friends got to keep those powers....

Now Daniel himself is starting to display powers, while at the same time, his friends are losing theirs. His friend Eric thinks Daniel is just becoming a Super himself, a late-blooming one. But Daniel worries there may be something more sinister at work, since his power-stealing ability is uncomfortably like the Shroud's. Of course, the Shroud is gone now...or is he? And could Daniel himself be his new vessel?

Title: The Great Unexpected

Author: Sharon Creech

Narrator: Heather O' Neill, Erin Moon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-04-12

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

I had big thoughts to match the big wind. I wondered if we find the people we need when we need them. I wondered if we attract our future by some sort of invisible force, or if we are drawn to it by a similar force. I felt I was turning a corner and that change was afoot.

In the little town of Blackbird Tree live two orphan girls: one Naomi Deane, brimming with curiosity, and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, who could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. For she knows all the peculiar people in town - like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins and Mr. Farley. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. The strangely charming Finn boy. Then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed - three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy. Soon Naomi and Lizzie find themselves zooming toward a future neither could ever have imagined. Meanwhile, on a grand estate across the ocean, an old lady whose heart has been deceived concocts a plan. . . .

As two very different worlds are woven together, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech celebrates the gossamer thread that connects us all, and the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness.

Adolescent Fairy Tale

Any additional comments?

Naomi and Lizzie are two orphan girls living in a small American town with many albeit distant connections to Ireland. One day boy called Finn falls out of a tree practically onto Naomis head, and this begins the magical mystery. Who is this Finn boy and who is the Dingle Dangle man who has been seen around town, and what do they have to do with the orphan girls? The girls story is told alternating with a tale of others who live across the ocean in the old country, and, of course, they are somehow all connected.

The Great Unexpected reads like a modern Irish fairy tale; if you enjoy fairy tales, or realistic fantasy you might also like: A Dog For Life, by L.S. Matthews or My Name is Mina and I Love the Night, by David Almond.
