Great book for children

I have always loved Sherlock stories. So when I came across this retelling for children, I had to get it for my nieces. The language here is fairly simple that children can read it themselves. But I do think younger children may enjoy it more if it is read out to them.

The story is short enough that it can be read in one sitting.

Amazing

Sherlock homes you are one intelligent detective .This is my first Sherlock homes book and I am impressed I would have never known that those men would want to rob a bank

Length: 2 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-16

Publisher: Paperless

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (German: Nußknacker und Mausekönig) is a story written in 1816 by E. T. A. Hoffmann in which young Marie Stahlbaum's favorite Christmas toy, the Nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. In 1892, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov turned Alexandre Dumas père's adaptation of the story into the ballet The Nutcracker, which became one of Tchaikovsky's most famous compositions, and perhaps the most popular ballet in the world.

Children's book from the early 1800s

If you could sum up Nutcracker and Mouse-King in three words, what would they be?

This storybook is written as if it were the transcription of a parent or nanny telling an intricate bedtime story to children. There are about 13 chapters. The story is understandable and enjoyable. It is older, proper English. At times pronouns such as "thy and thine" are used. The translation from German was carefully done so that parts of the text keep a poetic meter and rhyme. The story is pretty much the same as the cartoon "The Nutcracker Prince" with Kiefer Sutherland.

Not the whole story...

Well written and well read, but this isn't the entire movie. Luckily for me, I bought this after seeing the film. But this would be a disappointment to someone who hadn't seen the movie yet.

Left Hanging

Story good keeps mostly with movie but feel the story stops with a cliff hanga

Odd Odd Book

I realize that this very well could of been meant for young kids who are comic book fans, or even pre teens for that matter, but considering that I've become a fan of all things Marvel Movie related, I figured.. why not. This book isn't quiet what you might expect from what you might call a typical movie to book adaptation. Does it have all the proper characters & environment necessary.. yeah I guess so. Does it follow the movie more or less precisely... NOPE. I can understand & maybe in some way appreciate a book that jumps from one thing to another, seeing as how I have read 1 book best to my knowledge that did that, and I kind of enjoyed it. However, this seems all over the place with chapter material & it doesn't really follow one precise timeline like the movie does. I didn't mind the narrator and his voice, all though he seemed to either mispronounce Karmar-Taj incorrectly or he just seems to have a weird inflection when he says that one word. This wasn't a complete waste of time and or money, all though I wish they had a) followed the timeline of the movie & b) extend the time if you had to in order to fit it all in

meh

Not bad...expected it to keep going, when it ended...Had hoped for more, but it was ok...decent

Too short

I thought the description originally said 3 hours so I spent the $7.98.; I would not have done do had I know it was only 2. Great story just too short

Publisher's Summary:

Introducing the second book in the Enchanted Files! Told in diary entries and more, it's a new magical, modern-day comedy series by the master of funny fantasy and best-selling author of My Teacher Is an Alien, Bruce Coville!

Meet Gerald. Gerald is a griffin - a creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. According to the Code of the Griffins, that means he should be:

1. Brave and fierce in all situations!

2. A guardian of a great treasure!

3. Completely and totally hidden from the human realm!

But what if a Griffin isn't brave or fierce? What if he's never found a great treasure (or any treasure, for that matter)? What if he feels like such an embarrassment that the only thing left to do is run away? And what if the only place no one will look for him is the human world?

This laugh-out-loud adventure, full of humor and heart, is ideal for fans of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library or Chris Grabenstein.

Title: Unbound

Subtitle: A Novel in Verse

Author: Ann E. Burg

Narrator: Bahni Turpin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-16

Publisher: Scholastic Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

From the award-winning author of All the Broken Pieces and Serafina's Promise comes a new novel-in-verse that is a gripping, transcendent story about a little-known piece of slave history.

Grace has grown up in slavery. As difficult as life on the Virginia plantation is, at least she has her family: Momma; her younger brothers, Thomas and Willy; Aunt Sara; and Uncle Jim. When she overhears Master and Mistress plotting to sell her brothers, she and her family decide to run away that same night. But without time to plan their escape and go north along the Underground Railroad, their only choice is to head deep into the woods of the Dismal Swamp - a remote wilderness filled with wild animals; daily searches for food, water, and shelter; and the ever-present anxiety of being caught.

Historians have recently discovered evidence of the Dismal Swamp and a community of slaves who sought refuge there. Ann Burg's unflinching story, written in her signature luminous verse, sheds light on this little-known story and the courage of a people who risked everything for the chance to be free.

Four Stars

A unique method of conveying the life of slaves. Very well-written.

Amazing Story

We read this story out loud as a family and my kids wouldn't let me put the book down. It is so well written and sucks you in to the story.

Dragging

It's a familiar testimonial, but there is nothing wrong with that. I did feel that the story dragged, especially when Burg kept repeating Grace's feeling of guilt.

Great

This book was really good but the beginning did not grab me as I thought it would it is a southern book

Beautifully written, horribly haunting verse

My copy of âUnboundâ arrived from Amazon today. I ordered this book after my son's fourth-grade teacher asked me about how this work based on enslaved people's narratives may fit within a fourth-grade curriculum on social justice.

I have barely been able to put the book down. This workâs horribly, haunting, beautifully written verses make the tragedies of slavery tangible and take the reader on a heart-wrenching, tension-filled journey.

Before reading this novel, I was unaware that indigenous and enslaved people forged lasting communities of freedom in swamps. It would be a weighty undertaking to guide fourth graders through this book to teach about the brutal injustices of the economic system based on slavery that ensnared both perpetrators and victims, but I highly recommend doing so.
