My personal Favorite Sarah Weeks book!

This book is not like any other I've read, Pie, Honey, and So B. It all have someone special who died of dies, but in all of them you get really connected to the main Character.

I love simple as it seems

It is very interesting because you never really knew what was going on because you always standing on your heels like what's going to happen next what's going to happen next it's just so very very entertaining and if you like I'm in the book myself and I really think all you people out there will enjoy it because it's just a great book that the mystery of how they become best friends and then they get angry at each other but still figure it out it's just still touches my heart and I love it I hope you get it.

A Gift

Item was bought as a gift so I don't know exactly how they feel about it.

Item came in time and recipient appeared to like the item.

There should really be a category for gifts when leaving feedback because it makes it really hard to come up with something when you don't know what the person thought but you need to keep writing to fill up space.

A to Z Mysteries

My 7 year old grandson loves this series. He can read by himself or we can read it together. I even like the stories myself. They kind of remind me of the old Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys. They are good for the younger kids and even the olderones like it.

Five Stars

Short but good

Fun

Fun read for kids

A to Z

These books were put on "the list" of hopeful Christmas gifts and they will surely be read and re-read. We know they have arrived and their Mom will wrap and slip under the tree.

Asked too much of me

Originally posted at FanLit.

Its Separation Day and 12-year old Goldie is finally going to be separated from her parents and guardians. Literally separated. For in the town of Jewel, where the most important value is safety, children are always chained to a parent or guardian during the day and tied to the bedpost at night. And when they do something wrong, as Goldie is prone to do regularly, theyre put in heavy punishment chains.

This year the Grand Protector has lowered the separation age from 16 to 12 because she believes that Jewel is much safer than it used to be. But her brother, the Fugleman, and his henchmen, the Blessed Guardians, have conspired to ruin this years Separation Day and to keep the kids in chains. But Goldie escapes and that means her parents have to go to the dungeons. Can Goldie stay free and get her parents out of captivity, too?

Goldie ends up at a strange place called the Museum of Dunt where, it turns out, they were expecting her. The basement of the Museum is the last stronghold of some of the things the original Blessed Guardians, 200 years ago, protected the children from war, famine, plague, and dangerous animals. The Museum is starting to stir because its sentient and it senses trouble coming. The job of the Museum keepers and its obvious that Goldie is being groomed as a keeper is to make sure the museum stays calms so the bad things cant escape again. When the Fugleman finds out whats in the museum, he plans to use its horrors for his own advancement. Now Goldie, who has never even been allowed out by herself, must figure out how to stop him.

I listened to the auidobook version of Lian Tanners Museum of Thieves with my 10-year old daughter, Tali. Tali enjoyed the story and was entertained by Claudia Blacks animated narration. However, I found it difficult to become absorbed in Tanners story because I just couldnt suspend disbelief. I found myself constantly thinking that would never happen or these adults are too stupid to live. I read a lot of speculative fiction, so I am used to suspending disbelief, but Museum of Thieves asked too much of me.

Title: Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder

Author: Jo Nesbo

Narrator: William Dufris

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

Nilly is the new kid in school, but he doesnt let that or his tiny size slow him down. After all, he has his smart mouth, quick wits, and fearless nature to see him through. Nilly quickly makes two special friends: Lisa, a girl whose own best friend has just moved, and Doctor Proctor, who has (1) a tragic past (including lost love and betrayal) and (2) a talent for inventing things like industrial strength fart powder. Before long the three friends are involved in a bizarre adventure that includes a huge anaconda, evil bullies, a treacherous theft, a trip through the sewers of Oslo, and some missing gunpowder.

This rollicking and highly explosive story hilariously read by Audie Award-winning narrator William Dufris is not for sensitive ears. For the rest of us, its more fun than a good game of Pull-My-Finger!

Critic Reviews:

"The title promises young readers a story with a bang, and it delivers." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

GREAT story!

My son made my husband sit in a parking lot for almost an hour finishing the book. What a great read.

Farts are funny

My four-year old boy absolutely loves this story. It's the only one out of dozens of audiobooks that he asks for anymore.

Luca

I liked the humor and farts!

This is great for little children around 7 or8!

My kids loved it

My children loved this, but I found it just OK. As we listen in the car while travelling to school, I like to choose books which I can also enjoy.

GREAT Listen: Especially first listen by child

What made the experience of listening to Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder the most enjoyable?

Don't be turned off by the potty-humor. This is a VERY good story for both adults and kids to listen to together. In someways, it's an amazing story about how kids and adults can share an amazing moment together. My son couldn't wait to listen to this! He would actually get up early before school and want to listen to it while eating breakfast (and he hates getting up early). Listen to this with your kid on a speaker and you will share a great story.

What did you like best about this story?

The narrator had an amazing ability to switch voices between characters. Dr. Procter had the most amazing "wobbly" voice that was pure fun to listen to.

What about William Dufriss performance did you like?

GREAT voice! He made a good story GREAT!

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

It's about 4 hours. This is a bit much for a single sitting, but maybe in a long car trip. If not, don't despair and just find a couple of days in a row to listen to it.

Publisher's Summary:

This book follows the adventures of the five Walker children after their parents leave them on a "desert island" with provisions for a long stay - and a blank map to fill in.

Members Reviews:

Disappointing

From reviews I read I thought this book would be a "Boxcar Children" or "Nobody's Girl" type story, with the children living on their own for the summer and devising ways to survive. That was always my favorite type of story as a child. However, I was so disappointed with the book that I never finished it. The characters were flat, their adventures dull, too many descriptions of boring things. It just didn't satisfy.

Dave at Night

Would you try another book from Gail Carson Levine and/or Jason Harris?

Maybe but I like this story.

What did you like best about this story?

When Dave tries to make jokes to Gideon about the father dying so nobody will think about it.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Nothing

Do you think Dave at Night needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Maybe but no story could go on without that great beginning

Any additional comments?

Dave at Night should be a free book. And it should be featured.
