Almost finished!

I just got it from the British Council library! This kind of literature is what children should read!!!! Real situations with real characters - real teenagers and young people! This book is not saccarine sweet, but it relieves us of the stereotypical rebel young people we read about all the time - this has children who do care, it tells us there still are children with their hearts in the right place. There is still something called family. And all children do not take the easy way. This made me so emotional and I felt good because as we grow up, we are forced to shut ourselves up, else we cannot go on. This book tells us - it is just a little light that we need.

Title: Conquering Kilmarnie

Author: Hugh B. Cave

Narrator: Thomas M. Perkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-13-12

Publisher: Crossroad Press

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Ever since the terrible year when first his mother and then his brother died, 12-year-old Peter Devon has been sent away to school. This summer, he hopes to convince his father to let him stay year-round on Kilmarnie, their Jamaica coffee plantation. But Mr. Devon is still preoccupied with his loss.

Into their lives comes Zackie Leonard, an independent island boy. Peter admires Zackie's pride and knowledge of the land, and to his delight, Mr. Devon also takes an interest in Zackie. But Zackie is burdened, too, with the support of his alcoholic, drug-addicted father. And a rash of burglaries in the village brings the police in search of the Jamaican boy. Peter believes in his friend. When Zackie runs away, though, it is hard to be sure. Could he be the thief?

Hugh B. Cave has crafted vivid characters and a strong sense of place in a compelling story about the healing power of friendship.

Critic Reviews:

"The author's familiarity with Jamaica gives the exotic locale a special depth, and the dramatic events should make this story appealing even to reluctant readers." (Publishers Weekly)

Will be good

this book is more of a pilot to the next book which I hope will be more action packed. the storyline and characters has the ability to be a great series however I don't feel this book is strong enough to stand by it self and will have to be part of a series if Ali decides to write more.

awesome

I loved it and I love hearing Ali spark's read her own books. it was thrilling exiting and fun but is anyone concerns that Lisa is 15 and Mike is 20+

Title: Manuel and the Lobsterman

Author: Cat Urbain

Narrator: Ramon de Campo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-11

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A sleepy town on the coast of Maine is the last place where 13-year-old Manuel wants to spend his summer vacation. He'd give anything to be back in New Haven, with the greatest pizza in the world and a twelve-theater Cineplex around the corner from his house. So far the only thing that Manuel has found to do is watch Zeke, a cranky, old lobsterman, unload his boat, while a one-legged seagull perches nearby. But Manuel soon discovers that even sleepy New England towns can bring trouble.

Members Reviews:

Charming character

Manuel and the Lobsterman is a really sweet story about an urban Puerto Rican kid plopped down one summer in a Maine seacoast town. The incongruous milieu does not suit him. The town lacks necessary amenities such as Coca-Cola and video arcades, and the townspeople seem strangely uncommunicative. An initial brush with an intimidating preppy, a sailing instructor, cements Manuel's resolve to leave. Increasingly desperate schemes to raise money for a bus ticket out lead Manuel to apprentice himself to the cantankerous old skipper of a lobster boat.

Manuel's entered the adult world. This world is full of life and death risks, only one of which is survival on the sea. Adults arm themselves with loyalty and trust as weapons to address these risks. The author explains beautifully Manuel's growing understanding and mastery of these loyalty-trust relations.

The author herself lives in coastal New England, and she describes the buildings, streets, people, pace of life, and the overwhelming influence of the sea with a native's eye. Also impressive in her writing is how she understands so exactly how a 13-year old boy thinks!

My 10-year old son loved it, but Manuel and the Lobsterman is suitable for a range of ages through middle school. Also, the action scenes are exhilarating without being scary, and would appeal to younger children. The story never stops moving and will be a pleasure for adults reading along.

Manuel is Ideal for a Television Movie

I wish MANUEL AND THE LOBSTERMAN was around when I was 10 years old, for it is one of those rare stories that would have gotten me reading, when, like most boys, reading is the last thing I wanted to do. Like the now classic stories "James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl, "Escape!" by Ben Bova, "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, and "Stuart Little" by E.B. White, MANUEL THE LOBSTERMAN is yet another fine addition to that line-up of must-reads for young people -- especially boys -- and adults too who should be reading (or re-reading) these stories that grab you by the shirt collar and never let you forget the experience or the characters involved. And MANUEL needs to have top talent behind it to translate this vibrant and moving story into the made-for-television film it so richly deserves to be.

Must Read Summer Book

This is a great book for almost any age. The book is filled with action and it own type of excitement. The best part about this book is that is up-to-date with its gadgets and what kids use and like. For example, towards the middle of the book Manuel got his i-Pod taken away from a couple of the local kids up in Maine. I don't want to give away the book, but this is a must read summer book.

Luke Kostrzewski,

age 13

Real-life attitudes, good messages.

Good messages all around, without being preachy. Even a kinder way to cook lobsters. You really feel for Manuel, and worry for him.

Members Reviews:

A brilliant story to read aloud to your children.

A brilliant story. It reminded me so much of stories by Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm -- no higher praise from me. The pace was lively, the plot unpredictable yet the novel was totally engrossing. The characters were well-imagined and described by Sam Gayton and you couldn't but help become connected with them, especially little Lettie whose personality filled every page. The novel would make a wonderful movie...providing they keep to Gayton's excellent plot. This is a novel to read aloud to your children, parents. They will love it!

Highly recommended.

absolutely wonderful!

The snow merchant kept me busy for days, 5 wonderful say!

The author has a way of writing where you just want to keep ready, and The snow merchant has a awesome plot twist. I 100% recommended if you're going on a holiday, or just for fun!

A "Girl's Own" Magical Fairy Tale Adventure

A new edition of this book, (identical text with a new illustrator), titled "The Adventures of Lettie Peppercorn", is coming out soon. It would be great if the new edition of this book could get some attention, because it really is, (at least to me), very rewarding, entertaining, and deserving of attention. The basic story is pretty straightforward; it is the way it is cast that is so inventive. Twelve year old Lettie's Ma disappeared when Lettie was a child. Lettie's Da has fallen apart since Ma's disappearance, so instead of being the daughter of the landlord of the White Horse Inn, Lettie is the landlady of the Inn and Da is consumed by drink. The setup has a vaguely Victorian feel. As all good books must, this book begins when a stranger appears at the Inn during a dark and stormy night. At this point it feels like we will be presented with a standard Victorian-ish spunky ragamuffin adventure. But wait.

MILD GENERAL PLOT SPOILERS. The story goes off the rails almost immediately. The stranger is an alchemist and he's selling snow. Two crooked guests at the Inn want his secret. Lettie is in peril. The boy, Noah, who transported the stranger by boat, shows up with the stranger's luggage. Noah is from the newly discovered "Fifth Continent"; he has a magical sapling growing from his shoulder; it grows what he needs when he needs it. There is a lot of drama and magic and high theater phoney-baloney at the Inn, but as the stranger departs he lets fall the fact that he knows what happened to Ma. Bang - Lettie and Noah chase the stranger, the two crooked guests chase the stranger, and our wild, magical, alchemical ride is in full flow.

A triumph for runtiness and wartiness

I picked this up at the library, intrigued by its "soon to be a major motion picture" ad on the front cover. I was a pleasant-enough read-aloud to share with my 6 & 8 year old boys -- at 209 pages, our longest read-aloud yet. The premise: Our titular character is a runty giant that is ever the brunt of jokes and bullying within his giant community. They live inside a volcano's crater (though they are unaware of the concept of volcanoes). They fear Smallings (AKA humans), who everyone knows possess a terrifying magic that once upon a time killed giants in great numbers. I found the book to be pleasant enough, but not nearly as funny as I had hoped and overlong for the story it had to tell. But my boys begged me to read it every night for over 2 weeks, greatly enjoying jokes about ugliness and wartiness and poops and burping and all, and now are asking me to check out the sequel.
