Members Reviews:

I don't know who this is aimed at.

The narration starts with Ms. Marshal who is talking about George Washington. When she quotes him she deepens her voice like she's trying to imitate him which is what a kindergarten teacher would do if reading to her little kids. Tried to stick with it but then when the male narrator took over - with the English accent - he describes the Constitutional Convention where the leaders meet to "discuss this or that" but by the end of the summer they were in agreement. Forget about a narrated book how did this book get published?

Only Ruthie and Jack know the truth - because only they know about the secret ledger that Phoebe wrote the recipes in long ago! Ruthie and Jack's mission to clear Kendra's name takes them back to the Thorne Rooms, where a mysterious old coin leads them to 1753 Cape Cod and to Jack's own ancestor... the pirate Jack Norfleet! But playing with history can be dangerous! Suddenly, Jack's very existence is in jeopardy!

Can Ruthie and Jack find the proof they need to help Kendra? And can they fix the past and save Jack's future... before it's too late?

Granddaughter loves this series

This is the third in the Thorne Room mystery series and my granddaughter says they are her most favorite books. She was so excited to know this one was coming out, we couldn't wait for the paperback and ordered the hardback. Fun, interesting stories with the added intrigue of taking place in the Chicago Art Institutes Thorne Room exhibits, one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen. I bought a book about them for her so she could see the actual room pictures while reading the books.

we loved this book!

This is our favorite of the 68 Room Series yet (it's the 3rd) . My 4th grader plowed through it and it was so fun to answer all the history questions that came up. The illustrations are beautiful too.

Great book, great series!

Highly recommended!

Great series for kids

I bought these books for the kids and they love the series. They said they couldn't wait for the next ones to release.

I am very pleased.

I bought all four of these books and put them together as a set. I am giving them as a gift to my daughter. She loves reading and I am confident that she will love them. They have arrived ahead of schedule and the tracking says they are not due for a couple days. Which is fine by me. I have never felt bad about receiving an order ahead of schedule.

I'm 10 and "The Pirate's Coin" is a great third book in this excellent series!

I'm writing here in KST's reviews as a relative, and I'm 10. I've read the entire series so far. This book, the Pirate's Coin, is just as good as the previous two books in the series. The plot is excellent and surprising. Her writing style creates a lot of good visuals. It's just as well written as The Water Castle by Megan Blakemore. If you like that book, you'll love this. The magic was cool, and it wasn't overdone. Can't wait for Marianne Malone's 4th book!

Publisher's Summary:

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Eoin Colfers Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident, read by the actor Gerry OBrien.

Someone has been supplying Class-A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her archenemy, 13-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible.

But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just wont be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help....

Members Reviews:

just as entertaining as the first one.

Eoin Colfer's humour keeps you chuckling all the way through, brought to life appropriately by the gentle Irish accent of Gerry O'Brien.

Sets me up with an appetite for the next to continue the saga of our dear young Artemis.

Entertaining and action-packed adventure

Brilliant concept with the technology savvy fairies and a young prodigy with criminal tendencies. Action from the get-go interlaced with wry remarks makes it a rather entertaining "read".

Hmm

BEST EVER BOOK LOL FUNY it is a good book with lots of FUNY bits lol me

Frantic paced action adventure

My two boys (aged 8 and 10) were on the edges of their seats with this one. The beauty of the Artemis Fowl books is that they are not obviously written for children, so the language and concepts feel adult.

Artemis explains "difficult" concepts to "stupid" adults in small words because he is, after all, a boy genius. This rather helps any confused 8 year olds in the back of the car keep up. The fact that there seems to be rather too many stupid adults in it is a small gripe. In fact the most intelligent people seem to be the fairies, but I suppose that's the whole point.

Personally I love all the cliff hangers ... you can almost hear the cinematic BA BA BAAA music as the action plays out. We have indeed sat in the car for a few minutes more, just to get to a suitable cliff hanger in order to turn it off before school. You never have to wait long.

listened to this many times, a firm favourite

as above really. a good series, you'll love this if you liked Harry Potter. an easy listen.

Members Reviews:

Great book!

This was a great book for me.

Really good problems and characters. I really like this book!

awesome book!

this book kept my son busy for hours, he listens to the stories over and over again.

Cool Boys stuff- thrills! gadgets! hair product!

My boys (aged 5 and 7) love Zac Power. This is the third collection I've bought and it didn't disappoint. In fact, I think there are more sound effects with this collection that ever before - which certainly ads another level.

While I am starting to find the plot lines a little samey, and am getting annoyed about the fact that that the evil B.I.G. foundation seems to be staffed entirely by bad girl spies (grr feminism outrage), the boys completely love them.

The gadgets are fantastically cool, as is the level of authority with which Zac Power is allowed to operate. The idea that a 12 year old can drive a fighter jet / power boat / submarine / space rocket ON HIS OWN and SAVE THE WORLD is exactly what any 7 yr old boy wants to hear about.

I love the fact that no matter how cool you are, you still have to come back home and clean your bedroom. But that's the mum in me.... no bad words, mild peril and the books are available in our local library.

Title: The Quilt

Author: Gary Paulsen

Narrator: Susan Ericksen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-26-13

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A six-year-old boy goes to spend the summer with his grandmother, Alida, in a small Minnesota town. With the men all gone off to fight, the women are left to run the farms. Theres plenty for the boy to do - trying to help with the chores; getting to know the dog and the horses, cows, pigs, and chickens.

But when his cousin Kristina goes into labor, he cant do a thing. Instead, the house fills with women come to help and to wait, and to work on the quilt together. This is no common, everyday quilt, but one that contains all the stories of the boys family. And as they wait, and work, the women share these stories with the boy.

In this spare, affecting novel, ordinary life and ordinary things take on a new meaning, and the bond between a boy and his grandmother shines through.

Members Reviews:

This was lovely and had me in tears by the end.

Gary Paulsen has painful memories of his mother but some wonderful memories of his grandmother, Alida. He spent summers with Alida and one summer, as a six-year-old boy, was particularly memorable. Alida and young Gary are driven on an old, lumbering truck to cousin Kristinas home to be with her as she is expecting. The boy learned of all the fun animals on a farm along with all the chores even a young boy can help with. But he learned something even more important about people about the community of family.

The men are all away at war so the women are about the business of taking care of the farms. Kristina works up to the day she goes into labor. Young Gary tries to figure out what is going on but the kitchen full of women shoo him aside. And when he hears the cries of labor he runs out the door.

But Gary is blessed to be allowed to sit in the circle around the community quilt. There he learns the special history of the quilt as the ladies tell stories of their family members who are no longer there.

The story was simple in its presentation but deeply moving in emotional impact. I had never read Gary Paulsen so I did not pick this up because of the author. I thought it sounded interesting. As it started I wasnt immediately pulled in but then I began to be interested in the historical elements. Then it moved into the emotional aspects and I was punched in the gut with the beauty of the precious memories shared. This may be written for young people but it is a gem for adults too.

Audio Notes: Susan Ericksen is a wonderful narrator and I recognized her voice immediately as the voice of JD Robbs In Death series. I had to adjust my listening to her narration of this totally different work. I loved how she does grandmothers Norwegian accent, adding the extra touch to the narration. I am very glad I got this on audio.

Publisher's Summary:

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table.

Of these worthy knights, there was never one so fearless, so chivalrous, so honorable, so...shiny as the dashing Sir Lancelot, who was quite good at defending the helpless and protecting the weak, just as long as hed had his afternoon nap. Behold the very exciting and very funny adventures of Lancelot the Great, as only the acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris can tell them.

Members Reviews:

Amazing book (reviewed by an 8 year old)

This book is really awesome. It is about a man that wanted to become a knight .He became one of king Arthur's knight's. And he was one of the best fighters. Once, he didn't want to be a knight, so he went to be in the forest. And a bad knight had a pear poisoned, and the queen gave the pear to a knight without knowing, and it killed that knight. They were looking for someone to help them. If you want to learn the rest, you have to read the book. This book is very manly. I think you should read it out loud with your kids, because it is awesome.

Introduce 6-10 year olds to King Arthur's Knights

It's always challenging to find books that will motivate boys to read. This series by Gerald Morris is definitely a winner in my book!

"Sir Lancelot" is a age-appropriate intro to the Knights of the Round Table that has an entertaining mix of legend, humor, action, and masterful storytelling. At times it's silly, but Gerald Morris has a way of writing that engages both kids and adults--everybody in my house gathered around to hear the next chapter. I read them aloud to my boys and now they've read and reread them several times (which doesn't happen too often). In a children's book market which seems saturated with dumbed down stories of underachievers and troublemakers, it's nice to find some heroes.

Mr. Morris respects the Arthurian tales and brings his love to a new generation. My 6 and 8-year-olds are hooked and we've bought every book in the series. We've also recommended these to all our friends.

Sir Naps-A-Lot...how can you not love this?

A rollicking sendup of the most over-idolized and famous knight of all time, The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great is a refreshing change from the usual dark fare of Lancelot du Lak (Lance of the Lake). Gerald Morris' take on the story portrays Lancelot as a knight convinced that shiny armor is more important than noticing the multiple armored knights charging at him....

Lancelot is here portrayed not as a romantic hero, but a guy whose natural excellence in all things knightly is balanced by a rabid case of obtuseness, cluelessness about women, and a strange retiree-esque obsession with naps. A funny novel, and a much cheerier dose of Lancelot than anything else I've ever read. Your kids will laugh at Lancelot's "curious" wound, his inexplicable denseness on so many issues, and his endearing lack of awareness that his greatness is a royal pain to everyone else- not just to his napping habit!

Five Stars

Funny

Great book!

Historical humor and great writing. I really recommend this book for kids of all ages.

Title: Junebug and the Reverend

Author: Alice Mead

Narrator: J. D. Jackson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-05-13

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Last year, 10-year-old Junebug desperately wanted to leave the grimy Auburn Street project where he lived with his mother and sister. Now his dream has come true. They have moved to the other side of New Haven into a safe, new apartment complex. His mother takes care of the elderly residents there. Moving means changes, however. And not all of them are good. There is a bully in his new school who wont leave him alone. Junebug has to take grumpy old Reverend Ashford for a walk every morning. And he worries about the friendship growing between his mother and the Reverends son. As Junebug adjusts to a new neighborhood, his struggles will help young readers understand the importance of honesty.

J. D. Jacksons narration is perfect for voicing the young boy and his widening world in this wonderful sequel to Junebug.

Members Reviews:

Another thumbs up for Junebug!

Well, I have now read Junebug, Junebug in Trouble and now finished Junebug and the Reverend. I really enjoyed each and everyone. But Junebug and the Reverend I must say was my favorite so far. Even though Junebug is so young his thoughts are mature for his age because of the life he is being raised in. I do recommend my friends to read these books and they are also a good read for children.

Five Stars

Very good condition!

Junebug is a sweet book

Junebug's life is changing from the old world he used to know. He, his mother and sister Tasha have left the projects and onto a better way of life. But the change is not as happy as he first expects it to be. His close family seems to be going their own way and he fears that they are drifting apart. Tasha makes friends easily, while Junebug is tormented by bullies (worse his mother insists he play soccar with them!). His mother finds a new romance which is hard for him to cope with, and as if that wasn't enough, Junebug must now spend some time everday walking with a cranky elderly "Reverand" as part of his new responsibilites. His hopes of having a lazy summer squashed, Junebug tries to adjust to his new surroundings. In the process he learns a great deal about family ties, and himself.

This book is a sequel to JUNEBUG but you needn't have read the first to enjoy JUNEBUG AND THE REVERAND. I immediately liked the sweet character of Junebug the moment he appears on the page...probably because I know a kid just like him and I so seldom see such boys portrayed as realistically in print. He is thoughtful, kindhearted and resilient -- you can't help but take him into your heart. It is refreshing to see such an honest portrayel of children and community and I look forward to reading more about Junebug's growing up years. This is a book to be shared with your children.

Henry's Review of Junebug and the Reverend

I like the first book called Junebug because the book is like my life. Like the part when he said he lives in a bad place, I used to live in a bad place too called Chelsea. One part that I think is important is when Darrel left and then later a guy came looking for Darrel. Then Junebug told the guy that Darrel went somewhere. I think that part was important because Junebug kept his promise.

I think he is real because he talks about his life and how he lives and where he lives. He also talks about his family and how his dad is in jail. He talks like a real person.

At first I was going to read this book because it had gangsters, drugs and thugs.

Good book

It was a good book with fun and mysterious perks that weren't to scary for kids

The Boxcar Children go Reality TV

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It had to happen: The kids are on a reality TV show. We've been cracking up as the times have changed but the kids are still the same age. They went from the original setting in the 1920s (the first book) to cell phones and reality TV (this last one). But some things never change - the cracked pink cup figures prominently in the this story? Spoiler alert: Would someone really hold the cracked pink cup hostage to win a reality TV show?!?!

Any additional comments?

We've listened to 124 of these Boxcar Children books now. (We do a lot of driving.) All in perfect chronological succession. Is there anyone else out there who's done that?

Great for my 2nd grader!

My son who is 6 and in 2nd grade is an average reader. He is very picky about what he chooses to read and unfortunately, does not like to read many books and/or magazines. I tried books like the Boxcar Children, Magic Treehouse, Strange Museum, Ninja Turtles (which are his favorite), Sports books and they all bored him. He checked out Ms. LaGrange is Strange from his school library and read the book in one day. I purchased this book and for the most part he likes it. The chapters are not too long where it's boring, and he can relate to the dialogue. Although, some of the things that are said he isn't allowed to say, but he is fully aware of this, so it's no problem. (I.e. when A.J. calls his classmate a cry baby, and he says that homework is stupid and that the principal has a bald head like a light bulb)...I mean some of it is funny. Overall, I am excited that he doesn't mind reading this short chapter book. We read about a chapter a day and sometimes he wants to read two. I also purchased Mr. Docker is Off His Rocker and look forward to when my son starts that book as well.

Five Stars

My grandson enjoyed reading it.

My son loved reading this book

My son loved reading this book. So glad it was available on the Kindle and at a great price! Thanks!

Boxcar children

I remember reading the Boxcar Children as a child. I remember them to be of respectable content for children. I started to get the boxcar children books for my 9 year old, who can read an entire book in one sitting. She tends to not like dated stories or history stories, she likes her books to be modern like the Dork Diaries, but she really likes these books and with so many to choose from, I can keep her entertained for awhile.

A delightfully wonderful mystery!

All of the Boxcar Children Mystery's are exciting and wonderful. I just can't get enough of them. I plan to own them all. The Pumpkin Head Mystery did not disappoint. It has all the mystery and the delightful suspense that I've come to know and love about these books.

A spooky book just right for the season

this is another great Boxcar book. It's not along the lines of anything scary, but there is a mystery to be solved. The Boxcar kids do a great job, as always. Your youngsters will enjoy this book.

Fun Boxcar read.

My great-nephew and I just finished reading this together. The Boxcar Children Mysteries are a family favorite and this tale does not disappoint.
