Publisher's Summary:

But it won't be easy. Suspects are plentiful. Olivia Mendelssohn may be hot (and Hamilton's ex-girlfriend), but she's also an environmentalist determined to clean up the river that the Prince paper plant has been polluting for decades. Trudy, Hamilton's mom, has recently married her husband's brother, Claude, and signed over half of the plant and its profits to him. Not to mention Ford N. Branff, media mogul and Trudy's college flame, who wants to buy the plant for himself. The question is motive, and Horatio Wilkes is just the kind of guy who can find things like that out. Doesn't matter that he's only a junior in high school.

Here's a smart, hip, and funny twist on the tale of Hamlet, where one-liners crackle and mystery abounds. Think you already know the story? Think again.

I bought this book as required reading for my son and decided to read it because it looked interesting...I loved the funny, sarcastic style of Horatio Wilkes and combine that with the mystery = great book! I'm going to look for more Horatio Wilkes mysteries to read!

Publisher's Summary:

Although Cadel may be advanced beyond his years, at heart he's a lonely kid. When he falls for the mysterious and brilliant Kay-Lee, he begins to question the moral implications of his studies for the first time. But is it too late to stop Dr. Darkkon from carrying out his evil plot?

An engrossing thriller with darkness and humor, freaks and geeks, Evil Genius explores the fine line between good and evil in a strange world of manipulations and subterfuge where nothing is as it seems.

Members Reviews:

I will listen to this book again and again...

Cadel Piggots life has a lot of sadness. But in the end, Cadel takes charge of his destiny. The part I like the best is that Cadel doesn't let the evil he sees around him influence how he feels! I felt like cheering for him. I really loved this book and went right back to audible and bought the sequel. I have recommended this book to my teenage kids. This book is for young and old alike. Oh, and the reader is excellent!

Emotional Immature

The story starts of with a clever, "immoral" twist, switching around our perceptions of good versus evil. Ultimately though, the author seems to "chicken out" and loops back towards a very predictable and conventional ending. I don't really see the potential for a sequel to this book, and its a shame - the central theme on the nature of morality could have used more exploration. Worthwhile as a purchase.

Conor and Grace are twins, recently orphaned after their widowed father's death. Rather than being adopted by the town's busy-bodies, they decide to set sail for new pastures in their father's last single possession, his sailboat.

Determined to find each other, yet intrigued by their new shipmates, the twins are about to embark on the biggest adventure of their life.

Critic Reviews:

"[A] fantastic tale." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Decent... with a lackluster finale

I actually found that I enjoyed the majority of this book more than I originally expected. The imagery was very good, the dialogue, though immature in some places (not as in childish, but rather like an undeveloped or unschooled method of writing), was good overall.

I was very pleased with the narrator. I plan to see if he has narrated any other selections within my preferred genres. Even if the selection fall outside of my "norm," it wouldn't be the first time I've chosen a book just for the skills of the speaker.

Major "Con" - The ending. To say it left things wanting would be an understatement. Suppose, for example, I wrote a seven-hour book about someone being hungry. For the majority of the book, I detail aspects of the hunger, the sufferer, and his/her environment. Then, at the very end, I wrap it up with, "Then Steve found a $10 bill in his coat pocket, so he walked over to buy a sandwich. -THE END" -Grrrrr. I hate when writers can't put together an acceptable finale. Add to that the fact that it passed through the hands of an editor who decided, "Eh, it'll work."

If not for the ending, I'd have rated the book higher. For those who aren't as particular about endings, it's a good listen - otherwise, save a credit and use it on another book.

Immencely enjoyable!

Throughout the entire book, I was caught hanging on to every word more than a few times. I can't wait for the story to continue!

Fantastic!

It has a cheesy title...one I honestly didnt think I would like. But it is so well written it actually caught my attention and held it. I didnt want to stop listening!

Loved it!!!

Loved the novel!!! The whole series is awesome!!! Totally worth reccomending!!! Read/download the series today!!!

pretty good

by hunter (age 10)

Editorial Reviews:

This provocative first novel by a clinical psychologist specializing in childrens issues forces listeners to confront the cracks in the judicial and mental health systems. AIan King - often seeming to tremble with rage, or fear, or both together - gives voice to the troubling reminiscence of Josh, who lost his father at age nine due to his grandmothers false charge of pedophilia, which would lead to his actual rape by a therapist. Inspired by true events, Joshs is a story of troubling familial and institutional dysfunction, and, against all odds, the recovery of a lost soul.

Heart breaking

This heart breaker is well worth anyone's time. While I could have wished the man character were a little older so the author could have probed some things a little deeper this story is one of my favorite kinds.

Title: The Tenth Power

Subtitle: Book 3 of the Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy

Author: Kate Constable

Narrator: Lina Patel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-13-06

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes

Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13

Publisher's Summary:

All Calwyn wants to do is limp home and hide. But she can't, because although her power is gone and taken all happiness with it, her responsibilities seem to grow every day. There's a sickness attacking the chanters of Tremaris, a sickness that seems to have infected the land itself. And even though Calwyn is now just an ordinary girl with no magic left in her, she can't sit by and watch the world die.

This is a story about tremendous courage and the strength of spirit that life sometimes demands. But it's also a story of hope, because sometimes when everything you know has failed you, there is another way. Sometimes there is a tenth power, if only you can find it.

Critic Reviews:

"There is much to enjoy and ponder in a trilogy that strives to ask hard, thoughtful questions." (School Library Journal)

New to fantasy

I have never been into fantasy, but after I read the first book I was hooked. the entire series kept me on the edge of my seat. This last book was particularly gripping. I was in despair with all the characters as they faced their terrible realities. I don't want top give away spoilers, so I'll end it there. i definitely recommend!

No sound effects!

This has been an interesting series - one of the better ones I've chosen lately. I did struggle to get through the first two because of the *VERY* distracting sound effects, but this one is just narrated. Yeah! I just thought I'd let listeners know that if they were put off by the first two, at least the last one is an enjoyable listening experience.

Critic Reviews:

"Inventive and original....A standout in this year's crowded field of fantasy novels." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

very enjoyable!!

I thought this book was wonderfully dark and creepy with the perfect amount of suspence. Merle and Juniper are great characters,fully developed.

delightfully magic

This was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the magic of Venice. Merle is a brave girl who gets caught up in a magical adventure. Well worth the time to listen.

Interesting story

I really enjoyed this story. There are three to it however, only two are available by Audible 'The Stone Light' is the second book. If I were you, I'd send requests for them to bring the last story to Audible to complete this trilogy. If not, I'll have to just read the last book 'The Glass Word'.

The Water Mirror

Interesting fantasy - somewhat dark.

Wonderfully Different

A fantastically imaginative tale that does not shy from its darker side. Very well done.

Publisher's Summary:

Then a steamboat whistle splits the air. The Rob Roy from New Orleans docks at the landing, and off the boat step two remarkable figures: a vibrant, commanding young lady in a rustling hoop skirt and a darker, silent woman in a plain cloak, with a bandanna wrapped around her head. Who are these two fascinating strangers? And is the darker woman a slave, standing now on the free soil of Illinois? When Tilly's mother invites the women to board at her house, the whole world shifts for the Pruitts and for their visitors as well.

In this tale of mystery, adventure, and the civilian Civil War experience, Richard Peck has spun a breathtaking portrait of the lifelong impact that one person can have on another. This is a novel of countless riches.

Critic Reviews:

"Peck reaches new depth with this Civil War-era novel." (Publishers Weekly)

"This unusual Civil War novel really boosts Peck's credentials as America's best living author for young adults." (The Washington Post)

Members Reviews:

Love Peck's way of writing about history!

What made the experience of listening to The River Between Us the most enjoyable?

The story is great. I am looking forward to teaching this book to my 8th graders.

What other book might you compare The River Between Us to and why?

Like Peck's "Fair Weather," I love how he takes his characters to historically accurate entertainment venues. In "FW," we visited the Chicago World's Fair and a Wild West. In this story, we learn about actual Show Boats of the era. I plan to try singing "Old Man River" to my soon-to-be embarrassed 8th graders when we come to the Show Boat part.

Poignant, powerful tale, richly narrated

I bought this because the book won the Carl Brandon Society award for speculative fiction created by persons of color. The writing is deft, sensitive, and moving. The narration is skillful, rich and musical. The subject matter is slavery in the pre-Civil War US south and pulls no punches; it is hard to listen to if you are sensitive to descriptions of violence and torture. But the overall tone of the book is hopeful and uplifting.

Interesting twist on Slavery

A lot of how you enjoy a book or movie depends upon your prior level of expectation. When I think a movie is going to be junk and turns out to be a bit better I tend to rate it higher because I'm pleasantly surprised. Vice versa on a book/movie with expectations too high. This was recommended on NPR (National Public Radio) so my expectations were far too high (not having read any other reviews).

Still Mosely tells a basic but vivid story of the cruelty of slavery, how that meanness twists the hearts of men who should kind to each other because of their commond bonds (quite literally). Then a very unexpected visitor arrives to change things. I loved this character's maxim: "Neither master nor nigga' be." This character's overwhelming love for everyone and his naive belief that love and kindness will always be returned with gratitude is the most heartbreaking aspect of this bit of science fiction mixed with slavery. Kudos for an original idea! While the story does have an ending it seems like a possible set up for a series. I hope so.

The narrator has an old scratchy voice but you soon get used to it and is evocative of a man who has seen too much strife and pain but who has not lost his capacity for joy.

If I hadn't expected something much more grand I would have given that fifth star. Mosely is a gifted writer. I enjoyed the book but I foolishly was expecting something like "War and Peace."

A gift

What a wonderful book it dealt with the pain and hardships African people endured in this country but brought forth a Spirit that gave the reader and a people hope Up lifting This needs to be a movie. What a gift, thank you Walter Mosley.

"No N***** nor Master be!"

This book was a real page turner and I enjoyed every moment of it. W

Not what I though it would be.

I thought this would be about slavery and the struggles the those in that time had to endure however, it is so much more.

It's nothing I care to explain as I don't want to give it away. I highly recommend this audible if you like books about slavery along with adventure!!!

I personally loved it, and I recommend it for all those like me, who believe that everything is possible

"One of the most amazing books ever!"

My 10 year old can and does read these stories herself, but she also sometimes likes me to read to her at bedtime. This story is one that she has requested more than once (so I've read it at least twice and my guess is she has read it at least 4 or 5 times.)

This particular book is special to me because it covers a period of time that I remember, though it is set slightly before my time, I attended public schools that were still in the early stages of integration and busing. This is not ancient history. I saw that so many African American students went through a lot just to get a good education. Even though the Dear America stories are composites and not actual biographies of individuals, they are well researched and this one rings true in every respect. It has lead to some good discussions with my daughter.

Beyond that, we both love the character of Dawnie. I'm not a literary critic, but she seems very "well rounded" to me. She's not saccharin sweet, yet I would love to have Dawnie as a friend. She's gutsy, funny, and poetic.

By the way, the quote in this review title is from my daughter.

but if you ask me which one I like better, I say Dawnie

With the might of angels reminds me a lot of an older book called Mary Jane. Both Mary Jane and Dawnie are African amercian girls starting the school year at a all white school, both girls deal with a lot of prejudice, but if you ask me which one I like better, I say Dawnie. Dawnie is a tomboy who loves to jump on her pogo stick, play baseball, and is happier in jeans than dresses. She is also very bright and aspires to be a doctor. She also likes Jackie Robinson (which appeals to me, because I like him, too) and writes him letters. Dawnie thinks because of her skin color, she can't do the things she wants. She starts out at a new school, once an all white one, and faces lots of prejudice from students and teachers. I like dawnie because she is a realistic character, and her story really shows the hardships African American people and students faced at the time. Dawnie's old school is shameful, and lacks decent supplies. Dawnie finds a friend in another girl who is ostracized also. it's a really good book and it also has a lot of humor. Another great book in the dear America series

Excellent!!

Heartwarming, enlightening, humorous! I felt I was a part of this story; I became a bystander and could literally feel the same emotions felt by Dawnie.

Every child in America should read this book. THIS should be required reading in every school instead of the trash perpetrated on our children nowadays!

Good story

Great book....I read this at the library and would recommend the story to anyone wishing to know more about history...even through fictional stories

A must read for children and adults

I would recommend this book for all students in grades 4-12. This book is easy to read and understand. Although it is a historical fiction, the information is compelling and insightful.

Members Reviews:

Boring Series, Protagonist is "Meh"

These books are very short and not worth an entire credit.

The second book in this series just slogs along. It's all too predictable.

The protagonist doesn't really make smart decisions (or any decisions, really). She's passive, insecure and boring. I'm sure the author is setting her up to grow into herself and powers, but really, the did nothing to make me want to take that journey. I was almost relieved when the story was over.. and of course, it ended on a cliffhanger.

I won't be reading anymore of this series.

Fun Read/Good Narration

This is a fun quick light read. The narrator does a great job with the characters
