Fantastic!

We have enjoyed this immensely. We were drawn into the story as if we were watching the movie.

Great fun!

Great companion novel to the film.

This is a great companion novel to the film. It tells the story perfectly. I am a blind listener, and since the film does not have description on the DVD, I love to listen to the novel, and discover things I have missed as far as scenery is concerned, and the fights between the pirates. Also to note, Is the description of the pirates themselves.

I Love this book!

This is an excellent book! One of my favorites yet! The narrator did awesome with telling the story & the accents.

as good as the movie

the narration was great and the story was the movie. It was still great though.

Dear Diary...Bess, George, and I are actually in Alaska! Everywhere you look, there are massive mountains and sparkling, deep-blue waters. We're on the maiden voyage of the Arctic Star luxury cruise ship, and my old friend, Becca Wright, the assistant cruise director, needs our help. She received threatening emails before even setting sail; then a bloody body turned up in the swimming pool.

Thoughtful story w/ excellent narration

After having lived in the Netherlands for several years, I was delighted to enjoy this authentic book with my children. A thoughtful, moving story that will cause you to pause and think and rejoice without sappy manipulation so common in contemporary children's literature. Beautiful themes of compassion, duty, forgiveness. Excellently presented. First rate all around.

Classic story of Holland during WW2

Publisher's Summary:

Kenny Wright is a kid with a secret identity. In his mind he's Stainlezz Steel, superpowered defender of the weak. In reality he's a chess club devotee known as a grandma's boy, a label that makes him an easy target for bullies. Kenny wants to bring a little more Steel to the real world, but the question is: Can he recognize his own true strength before peer pressure forces him to make the worst choice of his life?

James Patterson's novel is a genuinely funny yet poignant look at middle school in a challenging urban setting, where a kid's life can depend on the everyday decisions he makes.

Critic Reviews:

"Will be enjoyed by middle-grade boys, particularly reluctant readers." (VOYA)

"It's a chatty, funny, engaging book, one that often addresses the reader directly. It's filled with energetic cartoons...that will appeal to your little rebel, depicting teachers as dungeon-keepers, matadors and flying dragons. Patterson...knows how to structure a plot and builds in some surprising--even touching--twists.... Rafe is the bad boy with a heart of gold." (The New York Times)

"Short chapters and a partially graphic format are sure to appeal." (Booklist)

"A keen appreciation of kids' insecuritiesand an even more astute understanding of what might propel boy readers througha book.... [A] perfectly pitched novel." (Los Angeles Times)

"As Patterson artfully weaves a deeper and more thought-provoking tale of childhood coping mechanisms and everyday school and family realities, readers are drawn into a deeper understanding of and compassion for the main characters." (School Library Journal, starred review)

Praise for Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life

A 2012 Top Ten Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Readers title

A 2013 ALSC Summer Reading List Book

A 2013 Hawaii's Children's Choice Award Winner

"Cleverly delves into the events that make middle school so awkward: cranky bus drivers, tardy slips, bathroom passes and lots of rules.... Hopefully, this isn't the last we hear from Rafe Khatchadorian." (The Associated Press)

"The book's...dynamic artwork and message that 'normal is boring' should go a long way toward assuring kids who don't fit the mold that there's a place for them, too." (Publishers Weekly)

Praise for Middle School: Get Me out of Here!

A number-one New York Times best seller

An Indiebound best seller

One of Barnes & Nobles' Best Books of 2012

"Patterson and Tebbetts have created strong characters and relationships throughout the novel. Rafe has his triumphs and failures, but he's a realistic kid whom readers would want as a friend and coconspirator." (School Library Journal)

"There is substance as well as appeal here.... Patterson deftly manages the pace of revelations that take readers deeper into Rafe's fragile trust....

Fans of Mary Poppins will love this whimsical tale of a boarding school for children of very busy parents, where an extraordinary headmistress teaches them life lessons about courage, adventure, friendship... and the importance of birthday cake.

Nestled inside a lighthouse, Great Rapscott School for the Daughters of Busy Parents takes its motto from Amelia Earhart: Adventure is worthwhile in itself. Headmistress Ms. Rapscott couldn't agree more, but her students, who are shipped to the school in boxes, could use a little convincing. Still, despite their initial reluctance, the students are soon soaring through the sky and getting lost on purpose. In addition to learning what birthday cakes are and how best to approach a bumbershoot tree, the students also manage to learn a little something about strength and bravery.

Best-selling author Elise Primavera has created an irresistible story about finding your way.

Critic Reviews:

"Bravo to Katherine Kellgren, whose prodigious narrating skills are on display in this production. Kellgren moves up and down her vocal register with seeming ease and employs a shifting tempo as she narrates this droll tale..." (

Um livro muito especial

linda narrativa, chega a doer o coraço!

como as crianças so inocentes e puras! emocionante! faltou um final feliz, talvez como as vezes na vida real!

Excelente!

I loved this book!! It's very moving and human.

Rafael Cortez's narration is perfect. The musical interludes are a little long, but not distracting.

Best narration of all time

(I read and understand Portuguese, but still need to improve my writing)

This book is a classic, most Brazilians read it as children, but I read first time in mid twenties. It captivated me and stands for as beautiful piece of art.

This version, an audiobook, fully lives up the expectations I had. The narrator is absolutely incredible. It's beautiful beyond belief.

Publisher's Summary:

This remarkable novel from Thanhhà Li, New York Times best-selling author of the National Book Award-winning and Newbery Honor Book Inside Out & Back Again, follows a young girl as she learns the true meaning of family.

A California girl born and raised, Mai can't wait to spend her vacation at the beach. Instead, though, she has to travel to Vietnam with her grandmother, who is going back to find out what really happened to her husband during the Vietnam War. Mai's parents think this trip will be a great opportunity for their out-of-touch daughter to learn more about her culture. But to Mai, those are their roots, not her own. Vietnam is hot, smelly, and the last place she wants to be. Besides barely speaking the language, she doesn't know the geography, the local customs, or even her distant relatives. To survive her trip, Mai must find a balance between her two completely different worlds.

Perfect for fans of Rita Williams-Garcia and Linda Sue Park, Listen, Slowly is an irresistibly charming and emotionally poignant tale about a girl who discovers that home and culture, family and friends, can all mean different things.

Members Reviews:

May be better read in text

Whilel I enjoyed the story, I was very distracted by the reading of it. I often imagined other ways to read the same words. The narrator read the protagonist's point of view as too "valley girl" for me. That being said, I loved the way she read the other characters' words. Hearing the Vietnamese language was beautiful.

I love this book

This book is a sweet, sweet portrait of the journey through life and its complications.

awesome narrator brings Vietnam to life

that's awesome narrator captures not only the Vietnamese accents and words of the story but also the teenage angst of a young girl who spends her summers away from home against her will to appease her parents and grandmother.

Magnificent reader

I loved this book! I purchase the paper book for my daughters I wonder how much they will enjoy it, I worry the names will be tough to get into but this reader made it easy, her accents were wonder and each character was distinct. I will look for this reader again.

I'm glad my husband bought me this book.

What made the experience of listening to Listen, Slowly the most enjoyable?

Both the story and the narrator provided a pleasant performance and experience. It certainly brought my own family memories up and somewhat parallels my upbringing. I felt like I was laughing at myself at that age. We were all so melodramatic at that age about such silly things.

What other book might you compare Listen, Slowly to and why?

I would compare this to books where individuals go back to their countries to learn about who they are and where they come from. None, however, were fictional.

What about Lulu Lams performance did you like?

She has a great voice, her pronunciation going between Vietnamese and American raised Vietnamese was really delightful. Her portrayal of the American raised tween was fun and made me smile a lot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not sure.

Any additional comments?

None, I am interested in the authors other published works.

Title: The Witchcraft of Salem Village

Author: Shirley Jackson

Narrator: Gabrielle de Cuir

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-28-14

Publisher: Skyboat Media, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A detailed account of one of the strangest and most shocking episodes in American history, written by the author of "The Lottery".

Stories of magic, superstition, and witchcraft were strictly forbidden in the little town of Salem Village. But a group of young girls ignored those rules, spellbound by the tales told by a woman named Tituba. When questioned about their activities, the terrified girls set off a whirlwind of controversy as they accused townsperson after townsperson of being witches. Author Shirley Jackson examines in careful detail this horrifying true story of accusations, trials, and executions that shook a community to its foundations.

Members Reviews:

A true historical horror

This audiobook was just what I wanted to start a few weeks of creepy, Halloween-themed reading. The true story of the witch hunts of Salem Village is more horrifying and fascinating than any fiction. What caused a group of pre-teen girls to accuse their neighbors of witchcraft? What made Salem's adults accept their claims so readily, with no solid evidence? Shirley Jackson's book is a great introduction to those questions and has definitely inspired me to read more about Salem.

Gabrielle de Cuir's expressive narration enveloped me in the narrative. She was especially good at portraying the women accused of being witches - whether they defied the authorities, laughed at the charges or eagerly implicated others

LOVED IT : ) Wonderfully narrated.

This was a sad but true story of our History ... never forget ! I have truely enjoyed listening to every minute of it.

A chilling, fascinating non-fictionalised account.

This book is perfect for anyone wishing to know a bit more about the infamous Salem witch trials, namely: how horrific the ordeal actually was, the extremes that those people got to, and the repressive, hypocritical society they lived in. For the most part, the author draws from extant trial records and correspondence, and lets the picture of mass hysteria speak for itself. Very well narrated, too.

A girl from the forest arrives in a bustling kingdom with no name and no idea why she is there, only to find herself at the center of a world at war.

There, given the name "Evie," she must endure a harsh training regimen under the steel glare of her Fairy Drillsergeant, while also navigating an entirely new world of friends and enemies.

Set in Grimm's fairytale world, M.A. Larson's Pennyroyal Academy masterfully combines adventure, humor, and magical mischief.

Members Reviews:

This book was bloody amazing!

This book completely exceed my expectations. Got it after I saw Reese Whitherspoon mention it on Instagram and decided I get it with some of my Christmas money. My one complaint is that it didn't continue on long! I could have read it forever. M.A. Larson, you sir, need to hurry with book 2!

Great book

when I first started I didn't think it was something I would enjoy, but it ended up being amazing.

What a fun read!

I didn't know what I'd be in for when I downloaded this book, on a lark.

But I must say I am absolutely won over! The story is so engaging, I was drawn in by the action and taken by the vivid details. I confess, I even gasped, screamed, and cheered aloud in places.

If you're easily lost in a book, this is a wonderful adventure to wander into.
