With Dwight attending Tippett Academy this semester, the kids of McQuarrie Middle School are on their own - no Origami Yoda to give advice and help them navigate the treacherous waters of middle school. Then Sara gets a gift she says is from Dwight - a paper fortune-teller in the form of Chewbacca. Its a Fortune Wookiee, and it seems to give advice thats just as good as Yodas - even if, in the hands of the girls, it seems too preoccupied with romance.

In the meantime, Dwight is fitting in a little too well at Tippett. Has the unimaginable happened? Has Dwight become normal? Its up to his old friends at McQuarrie to remind their kooky friend that its in his weirdness that his greatness lies.

Members Reviews:

This is an interesting book

My daughter loves to hear the story, it is very good, hope we could get more

Who Doesn't Love Pandas?

Pandas are a wonderful subject for one of the Magic Tree House books. The kids love them, but they learn here some of the realities of life for these endangered animals.

This is a terrific series, and it's nice to have an audible version. Can't help wishing, tho, that Mary Pope Osborne would allow someone else to "read" them. She obviously cares about the material, but I think children would benefit from a professional narrator.

Adventures

I love Mary

Author is amazing

Characters are very awesome

I like when the world crumbled

I want more books!

Pandas

Great story I love it so much. I recommend this story to all panda lovers and magic tree house lovers.

Love the Magic Tree House.

If you could sum up A Perfect Time for Pandas in three words, what would they be?

My daughter and I have listened to every Magic Tree House on our many long distance trips to doctors. I have never been disappointed in any book. I am always excited about the conversations sparked by the history of the stories.

Title: Railsea

Author: China Miéville

Narrator: Jonathan Cowley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-15-12

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 168 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

On board the moletrain Medes, Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt: the giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey, the battle resulting in one's death and the other's glory. But no matter how spectacular it is, Sham can't shake the sense that there is more to life than traveling the endless rails of the railsea - even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-coloured mole she's been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a wrecked train, at first it's a welcome distraction. But what Sham finds in the derelict - a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible - leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for. Soon he's hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea.

From China Miéville comes a novel for listeners of all ages, a gripping and brilliantly imagined take on Herman Melville's Moby-Dick that confirms his status as "the most original and talented voice to appear in several years." (Science Fiction Chronicle)

Members Reviews:

Talented Mr Cowley a mismatch for Railsea

China Miéville's writing is both dense and fragmentedreading it aloud is no easy task, so it is no great criticism of Jonathan Cowley to say that he is not suited for the role he has assumed in narrating Railsea. His reading is warm and personal, but he stumbles on the nuances of the languagethose the finicky inflections and the odd staccato that characterizes the calculated casualness of Mr Miéville's distinct voice. Much is lost as a result, and the narrative seems murkier and less impressive than it does on the page.

It would have been more difficult to isolate the faults of Mr Cowley's performance had it not been for narrator John Lee's masterful renditions of previous works by Mr Miéville. Mr Lee has a rare crispness in his delivery that allows Mr Miéville's punctuation to survive the transition from the written to the oral miraculously intact. We can only hope that he will bestow his talent on Railsea somewhere down the line, for this novel, while not as awe-inspiring as Mr Miéville's best works, is still worthy of the best possible delivery.

Cowley not suited for Mieville

China Mieville is verbose and dense, there's nothing more to be said about it. His descriptions are rich. Maybe I'll try reading the physical book, that does seem to go better.

Cowley's narration is simply flat. It sounds as though he was unfamiliar with the writer and the subject matter, and even the underlying theme of the book. I'm sure he's done great work previously, but I'm not sure he's suited to this type of dark, misty SF.

Machines to Make Chaos into Story

"Our minds we salvage from historys rubbish, & they are machines to make chaos into story."

- China Miéville, Railsea

I enjoyed it. Not fantastic Miéville, but an amazingly constructed universe. The story was well-developed and the characters were interesting. Very steampunky. Very weird. But when Miéville is ON he is really ON and his prose train is moving. There is a genius engine under his hood.

Title: The Bell Bandit

Subtitle: The Lemonade War Series, Book 3

Author: Jacqueline Davies

Narrator: Stina Nielsen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-08-12

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Jacqueline Davies The Lemonade War was praised for using subjects such as math and economics to create a suspenseful, subtly educational plot that goes down as easily as a cool glass of lemonade in August (Childrens Literature). The third novel in the series starring fourth-grader Evan Treski and his smarty-pants younger sister, Jessie, follows the siblings as they try to solve the mystery of who stole the New Years Bell from atop Lovell Hill.

Members Reviews:

Better than the first two of the series

If you could sum up The Bell Bandit in three words, what would they be?

Wow! This book really improved on the series with Evan and Jessie getting along and using the skills of each other to 'get the job done'.

Grandma's bell has disappeared and two mean boys now live in the neighborhood. Maxwell rescues a frog, Jessie finds Grandma when she gets lost and Evan proves he has skills of his own. All ends well with the New Year being rung in, literally.

Title: I Am a Pole (And So Can You!)

Author: Stephen Colbert

Narrator: Stephen Colbert (introduction), Tom Hanks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-08-12

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 913 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The story of a pole, searching for his purpose in life.

"The perfect gift to give a child or grandchild for their high school or college graduation. Also Father's Day. Also, other times." Stephen Colbert

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Critic Reviews:

"The sad thing is, I like it." (Maurice Sendak)

Members Reviews:

Cute, funny, patriotic

What made the experience of listening to I Am a Pole (And So Can You!) the most enjoyable?

The story is funny and cute, and I knew that the money I paid was going to a good cause (America's veterans).

It might be inspirational.

This is the least professional audiobook i've ever listened to. It's also the funniest. I might have been inspired if I wasn't choking on my laughter.

Deal of the century!

For a fraction of the price of the hardcover or e-book version, I got the audiobook, some comic banter between Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert, and a PDF file with all the illustrations (slightly out of sequence, but not a big deal). It's a lovely story, with rhymes and puns to boot, and the illustrations are just as charming (is that Maurice Sendak saluting the flag at the end?) Since all the proceeds go to charity, I am tempted to buy the e-book version; $1.83 seems too modest a contribution to such a great cause. Well done, Colberty!

I Am A Fan (and So Will You!)

So sad that Maurice Sendak is no longer with us. This book, however, coming out almost literally on the day he died, stands as something of a tribute to his wit and style - and that of Stephen Colbert and Tom Hanks.

I don't want to make a review longer than the book (!), but, shucks, who wouldn't like this??

Hold your sides, you'll be laughing so hard!

I saw Stephen Colbert talking about this on his show, and even saw the interview with Maurice Sendak. The book was so short, I thought why not get it. It is very funny, and amazingly, a pretty well written book. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT acutally a children's book, and unless you want to explain some of the inuenndo, I wouldn't let kids listen to it. The introduction and interruptions by Stephen Colbert let you know from the start what sort of book you're listening to.

Publisher's Summary:

Fifth grader Nora Rose Rowley is really a genius.

Its true.

But dont tell anyone.

Nora always gets average grades so she can forgo the pressure-cooker gifted program or Brainiac Academy.

But when Nora gets one hundred percent fed up over testing and the fuss everyone makes about grades, she brings home a terrible report card just to prove a point.

Pretty soon her teachers, parents, and the principal are launching a massive effort to find out whats wrong. Can Nora convince them that tests alone are a stupid way to measure intelligence?

Publisher's Summary:

A dangerous few months lie ahead, ones which some of us will be hard-pressed to survive.

Thomas Ward has served as the Spook's apprentice for three years. He has battled boggarts, witches, demons, and even the devil himself. Tom has enemies: The Fiend stalks him, waiting for a moment of weakness. The terrifying Morrigan, goddess of witches, warned him never to step foot on her homeland, Ireland.

But now war has consumed their own country, and Tom, his friend Alice, and the Spook must flee to Ireland. The dark rages strongly there. No one can be trusted. Can Tom defeat the creatures that hunt him most fiercely?

Members Reviews:

Be Warned!

This is the exact same story as Spooks Destiney so dont waste your credit. Otherwise it is as good as all the others.

Great story, 1 letdown

The overall story was amazing and every second will have you on edge. the only complaint I have is that the big fight, with an unparalleled evil, seemed short, and easier than I had hoped for. There could have been a little more of a struggle when they fight the *spoiler*. But it was all over too quickly.

Constantly improving

As the tales goes on it is proving to only be better with each page. The growth of the characters and the trials they face, draw you in and cause worry and pride to surge through you. It is hard to tell which path either of them will take and what lay before them. To learn the answers to each rising question and nagging doubt, you are pressed to read on.

OMG

God this series seems to get better and better I love these books can't wait for the next

Loved this one

Christopher Evan Welch's performance is absolutely outstanding. His voices are incredible, he does atleast 30 throughout the series, all unique and great.

I bought it, so should you.

This book is great for children, and even adults. The reader uses expression when he is reading and that helps me understand a lot more how the character(s) are feeling.

great book for kids

This book was a thrilling and exciting and funny book I recommend this to anyone.
