Title: Swing Sideways

Author: Nanci Turner Steveson

Narrator: Tara Sands

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-03-16

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Perfect for fans of Bridge to Terabithia and Walk Two Moons, this debut middle grade novel is the story of two girls and the unforgettable summer in which they learn about true friendship and loss.

Annie has been promised a summer of freedom in the country. Freedom from a difficult school year, freedom from her fake "friends" back in the city, and, most of all, freedom from her mom's life-governing spreadsheets and rigid schedules.

When Annie meets California, who is visiting her grandfather's farm, it seems she has found the perfect partner for the summer she's always craved. Especially when California offers Annie a real-life adventure: If she and Annie can find the ponies her mom rode as a girl, surely it will remind her mom how wonderful the farm is - and fix what's broken between her mom and her grandfather.

But Annie's summer of freedom is sprinkled with secrets, and everything she has learned about bravery and love will be put to the test when the truth behind the ultimate secret changes her life forever.

It's. SO. Good!

I've seen several reviews out there that compare this book to Bridge to Terebithia. "Oh it reminds me Bridge to Terabithia," they write. "A quest as good as Bridge to Terabithia," they type. Well, I've never read Bridge to Terabithia, but I can tell you that when I do get around to reading it I will likely be thinking, "Ok, this is Bridge to Terabithia...but it's definitely no Swing Sideways." I'm a 33-year-old mom with guilty pleasures that include watching disney live-action movies targeting teens, and collecting lego minifigures, so you might be tempted to brush off what I'm about to say as a simple bias of mine that enjoys younger-than-me marketing. Oh but you would be mistaken! Swing Sideways breaks the age barrier with a story about parental conflict (let's face it, at any age you still face some type of conflict with your parents, so don't pretend like you won't relate to THAT), growing up, and friendship that is absolute. It's sadly beautiful, yet in the end leaves you happily content. You hear people say all the time, "I couldn't put it down, it was so good" or, "it made me laugh AND cry." You've heard it all before, so I won't say it again, but what I will leave you with is this: Imagine a woman in her thirties slipping into bed after putting the 3-year-old boy back to bed for the fourth and last time that night, kissing her husband goodnight, fluffing her own pillow in such a way as to make it easier to sit up and read...she starts by reading the back cover...

...it's now midnight. She's had to muffle both giggles and nose blowing in attempts to avoid waking sleeping husband, who has already more than once rolled over groggy and squinty eyed asking if everything was ok. After sliding even further into her self-made bed groove and trying so so SO hard to keep reading, she falls asleep with her hand inside the book, keeping her place for tomorrow. Yes, it's just that good.

Do yourself a favor and buy this book...you read now!

There was fun, excitement

I am a big fan of the book, "You Make My Heart Swing Sideways"! throughout this story i experienced a wide range of emotions! There was

fun, excitement, laughter, happiness and sadness. Once I started reading the story, I couldn't put it down.

A clever spin on a classic

A Christmas Carol with a twist! It was so much fun to listen to this book. Lauren Fortgang narrated it with so much charm. I have no idea how Minecraft works. If I did, I think I would have enjoyed this book so much more. Loved it none-the-less!

EPIC

It was epic and Tim is soooooooooo cute! Also, the zombie touch! lol it was so funny! :)

Members Reviews:

I highly recommend these books to those who enjoy playing the game

The Minecraft books by Mark Cheverton are well written and engaging. Even for my son who is not a reader. He devours each new book that comes out and begs for the next one as soon as it is available. These books have an entertaining storyline and often include bits of info and tips that will help kids play the Minecraft game.

I highly recommend these books to those who enjoy playing the game, and even to those who don't. Once you start reading, it draws you in whether you are a gamer or not.

Great!

All of these Herobrine books are fantastic in my opinion because my son just devours them! It's difficult in this digital age to get kids to sit down with a book but he will spend hours on end with these.

Amazing Minecraft series

I loved the series in about two weeks I finished eight books. They are so addictive. Minecraft books are so hard to find too and I found an amazing series that's different than the other Minecraft books. All in all it's an amazing series that I hope will continue forever!

Parent who appreciates the writing quality and engaging story

My sons (9 and 11) both have read this series. And like previous books, the writing is superior (when compared to other books in this Minecraft space), the vocabulary is superior, no repetitive use of the same words/phrases - and the story is engaging. For kids not into Minecraft, this may not be as entertaining. Parents should read at least the first 2 books with younger kids. Good conversation opportunities about online behavior when gaming, good ethics, friendships, dealing with disappointments.

Love this series!

This is an awesome series for people who love reading and minecraft. The fact that they add herobrine makes it 10 times better. Lot's of creativity .

Really like kids books on the Kindle

Bought for my daughters on Kindle. Love these little books, so entertaining for my girls. At this young age they really power through the books so I appreciate having them on Kindle rather than all over the house.

I bought it for a school library and the 3rd/4th grade girls LOVE it ! I bought the series and now they want MORE !!

The Alice-Miranda books just keep getting better!

Alice-Miranda is cute-as-a-button, interminably talkative, has an intelligent curiosity and a keen knack for solving some pretty heinous crimes. Here is a well-written and enticing mystery in a series of books that can be read comfortably in any order. The characters are well-drawn, and thereâs never a dull moment. The type is largish and easy to read, and chapters are headed by a cute illustration.

So so

The narrators voice was a bit wired which made it very annoying to listen

Though I still enjoyed the book

Good

Very good Jeff Kinney book.

:)

My favourite book so far!

I I I I I

Terrible boring voice

We have enjoyed the diary of a wimpy kid books but this audio book was just dreadful. The main narrator has a boring flat voice which is frankly quite annoying.

Diary of a wimpy kid

The book was great. the element of humor gave the book more excitement and energy

My Review of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Old School

I think this book is funny and the person reading it is very lively and he doesn't read it like a normal book he reads it like its his diary!!! I really am impressed about this audiobook and I am sure that I will listen to more of them. :D

Members Reviews:

Very cute

I enjoyed this audiobook, In the stories, you learn about the origins of many Christmas traditions.

This book contains a lot of short stories. The format might be a little confusing to younger readers. Also, some of the stories seemed to be slight variations of the same story.

Overall, the stories contain good morals and helped me get into the Christmas spirit. This would be a good audiobook to choose if you were to take a family road trip around Christmastime.

Excellent!

I listened to this with my 7 year old daughter and we had heaps of fun in the true spirit of Enid Blyton.

kids didn't like it

my 7 and 8 year old found it scary and asked me to delete it.

Classically beautiful

This is such a soothing, enjoyable collection of Enid Blyton Christmas stories. The children loved it and we enjoyed revisiting our youth and actually learned a few things about Christmas! It is definitely loaded with language from the era, so there are some parts that'll challenge your views on gender roles (!) but the overwhelming innocence more than makes up for it.

Magic memories

A timeless collection of Christmas short stories for all ages. In true Enid Blyton style the book is filled with characters who are as magical and mystical as they are mischievous. Loved the way the stories explained the traditions of Christmas that are still practiced today and enjoyed being taken back to a time when the spirit of Christmas was about the joy of the season.

When Tom zapped Frankie the goldfish back to life with a battery, he certainly didn't expect him to become a Big Fat Zombie Goldfish with incredible hypnotic powers. But it turns out that a zombie goldfish is a great pet to have on your side when your big brother is an evil scientist whose plans need to be thwarted. There's something fishy going on in the woods, as Tom and his best friend Pradeep take Frankie on a camping adventure. Could the Beast of Burdock Woods be real? Then, something weird is going on with Mark. He's actually being... nice! Meanwhile, paranormal pets (including a teleporting tortoise, a mostly invisible poodle, a levitating budgie, and a vampire kitten) are missing all over town. Can Tom and Pradeep find out what's going on before Frankie disappears?

Members Reviews:

old grandson (and I) love the Zombie Goldfish books and have been reading them

My 9-yr. old grandson (and I) love the Zombie Goldfish books and have been reading them, as they are published for about two years. They are great fun and tell a great story. Very entertaining for boys, girls and the folks who are reading to them.

My son loves these books!

My son absolutely loves these books. I have bought him the entire set that is out so far and he is anxiously awaiting the next one. I am not sure what the appeal is but I know that they have both stories and other games and things for him to play in each book. They are written at approximately a 3rd grade reading level.

Laughter encourages reading

I read this book to my son, who at the time didn't enjoy reading very much. This book is funny and showed him a new way that reading could be enjoyable. We love the characters, and Frankie is the best. The flip art on the corners is an added bonus. We look forward to reading the further adventures of Frankie, the zombie goldfish and his humans.
