This was a gift for our nephew and he loves it! Delivery was prompt as stated in the confirmation e-mail.

Loved it

Great book for my 4yr old. We read it together before bed. He tells his mom about it in the morning.

Great for Autistic children

Great book for Autistic children. The books combine a fictional story with facts inserted throughout the story. However, remember they do go in order and one book leads directly into the next book.

My son read this for hours

My 7 year old is mesmerized by this series! This has been his favorite series by far and I can tell when he has an Andrew Lost book because he literally cannot put it down until it is done. Afterwards he is excited to share the science facts he learned.

Publisher's Summary:

Where do ghosts sit their exams? How would you cope if a million birds did it on you? Where did the eyes in the bottle come from?

Nine stories that you would never dream of. From one of Australia's most popular authors.

Editorial Reviews:

This collection of nine short stories from acclaimed Australian children's author Paul Jennings is full of tales kids will love but adults would never believe: magical age-adjusting devices, dragons in drains, ghosts taking exams, and more. Jennings' protagonists are sensitive, likable, and always trying to do the right thing. Some of the themes might scare younger readers, but older children will love the strange situations, and performer Stig Wemyss does a fantastic job of creating unique voices for each character, from the ghoulish to the whimsical.

Critic Reviews:

"Stig Wemyss has a unique voice for every character and a command of the material." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Marred by lazy chapter markers

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Perfectly narrated.

Any additional comments?

The major issue is that the audiobook has 4 fairly randomly placed chapter markers, probably from the original audiotape release. This makes trying to watch a specific short story REALLY annoying!

Misery Guts written and performed with a cheerful enthusiasm by award-winning childrens author Morris Gleitzman, is the funny story of Keith and his clumsy but well-intentioned attempts to cheer up his parents. The problem, Keith finally realizes, is the drab and dull setting of England. This epiphany sets off a hilarious chain of events as Keith tries his best to get his family to relocate to the beautiful Australia.

Exactly as described

Misery Guts

Misery Guts means sad, unhappy, or dejected, or so it seems. In the book Misery Guts a boy named Keith is growing up, trying to make his parent's smile and be happy. But, nothing will work. England is where they live, and it's just too boring and unhappy. So when Keith tries to make his parent's smile, he's never far from trouble. Then, he finds a tropical paradise called Australia. He knows that it is the place that can make his parents smile and be happy. He begs his parents to go, but they say no, no, and no! But, when Keith burns down his house and shop, they have nowhere to stay. So will Keith ever make his parent's smile by convincing them to move to Australia or will he and everyone else be a Misery Gut forever! This book was for me. When I read this book ,it shouted amazing, exciting, cool, fun and one of a kind!

Misery Guts

I like Misery Guts although this was not my favorite book,but I still have some things I like and dilike about this book.

Why do I have some dislikes, because this book took place in a different place than what I live in. They spoke with a English accent since they lived in England. Some other reasons I disliked this story is because this book got boring in most parts but not all of them. The last thing has to do with the beging was a little boring.

Things I liked about this book were that it was very interesting in most parts of the story also. Like when Keith came home from Austrailia. Some other things I liked in the story are that I learned the English accent even though it was hard reading.

In conclusion, I had some ways I disliked the story, but all in all it was a good story

Misery Guts

I liked this entire book, but it starts out slow. I sortof liked it starting out slow because it got me more interested in the book to see if it would get more interesting, and it did. You see they live in London, but something happens that causes them to move.Then, they go to Austrailia. But, to get morre details on this amazing book and adventure, you have to read the book, from front to back. I liked this book because it is unpredictable. Also, it has a lot of different words in it, so it enriches your vocabulary. I would reccomend this book, if you like books that you can't tell what will happen next. Also, if you like books that are an adventure.

Misery Guts Book review

I read Misery Guts,by:Morris Gleitzman. In Misery Guts I liked some parts and disliked others.For example Keiths discription of London is pretty funny. Oh by the way the story takes place in London.

Critic Reviews:

"For anyone who loves words, Almond's books are a pleasure....So imaginative and layered." (Booklist)

"Besides providing a moving portrait of a boy's growing pains, the author expresses the camaraderie within a working-class community and the love within Bobby's family. Sensitive readers will marvel at Almond's ability to show, not tell, with his highly introspective, at times enigmatic, writing style." (Publishers Weekly)

Exactly what I was looking for and it arrived when I needed it <3

Beautiful and emotional

My favorite book, a beautifully woven tale that walks the fine line between fantasy and realism. There are aspects of this book that are deeply human and moving, very emotionally relatable and realistic, especially for young people. There are also aspects of this book that are fantastical, too big and too strange to be real, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. It's a moving book that really stimulates the imagination and leaves enough open to the reader to create a rich, evolving world for the characters to flourish in.

Probably the Best Book I read in 2008

This was one of the best books I read last year. There are a couple of intertwined themes here all set in the background of a working class family in the Durham coalfields.

The protagonist passes the 11 plus and is thus accepted into a grammar school, where he is nevertheless subjected -along with other children there - to daily cruelty, and ingrained prejudices, which during the novel, and through a friendship, he gains the power to overcome.

At the same time there is a theme with a character - McNulty - of mental illness, as well as the strains on the family under the threat of a life threatening illness - all set against the fear of approaching apocalypse in the cuban missile crisis.

There is so much in this book, it cannot be described - it has to be read. And Reading is not a chore, because David Almond is such a good writer. His prose is simple, but still manages to be vivid and engaging.

This is a book to read and ponder. Highly recommended

City on fire

The greatest testament there is to the power of good writing is the ability it has to tell universal stories in very particular settings. For example, when you think of the author David Almond you pretty much have to think of one place in the world. North-eastern England. Books like "Kit's Wilderness" (one of the greatest children's books ever dreamt up) would be nothing without their location. And the same goes for his particularly ambitious effort, "The Fire-Eaters". This book is set, in his own words in, "a tatty place, a coaly beach by a coaly sea". The characters talk with thick beautiful brogues. Their lives and the lives of their ancestors are rooted to the beaches on which they were born. Yet somehow this book could apply to any human being on any land on this small planet we call our own. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a testament to good writing.

Keely Bay is set apart from the rest of the world. It's the kind of place where a family can make a living simply by panning for the coal that appears naturally in the sea around it. Bobby Burns, however, is bound for higher things.

11 year old loved it!

Excellent writing!

Excellent books! Real soul and character, beautifully written, and thoroughly enjoyed by my 11 year old boy.

Solid Story Line With Great Characters

I enjoyed reading a story from a horse's POV. The author took me on a journey through the life of a Belgian and I learned a lot about the breed's capabilities. I liked the main character's interaction with other horses and with people. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in therapy horses and what it takes to be one.

Inspiring for the heart!

Wow! This book was amazing! Reminds me so much of how far the world has gone! I can't wait to read the next book. Just want to say that Gigi Amateau is a real good author, who can make you feel "that" feeling of being in the book there with the story!

Title: Rhianna and the Wild Magic

Subtitle: Rhianna Trilogy

Author: Dave Luckett

Narrator: Mikaela Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-30-08

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Rhianna is in trouble at school again. She just can't get her magic spells to work, and when they go wrong, they go very wrong indeed. But it's not only Rhianna who is having problems. Magic is failing everywhere, and the Land itself is at risk.

Editorial Reviews:

Dave Luckett's series The Rhianna Chronicles, for ages 9-12, is billed as "Harry Potter for girls". In the first book of the series (called The Girl, the Dragon, and the Wild Magic in the United States), the award-winning Australian children's writer introduces his heroine as she's poised on the verge of failing out of her "school for magic". But soon Rhianna discovers that her powers exceed those of her classmates and she must test them against a dragon.

Voice actress Mikaela Martin performs the entire fantasy series with equal parts action and emotion. She must have access to a narration spellbook, for her delivery is pitch-perfect.

Critic Reviews:

"Mikaela Martin does a fine job animating Rhianna and personifying the mighty dragon. Martin makes the listener care for Rhianna as she learns about her life-altering gift and her need to rein in her magic. The mean Mr. Spellright and his evil nephew, Rory, are keenly characterized. This is a quick listen for those who seek a fun visit to a world of magical spells and enchantments." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

From a talented creator.

Great little book for kids, I think my boys will like it when they're old enough. I picked up a copy last year after doing a few panels with Bryan Beus at LTUE, he's an insightful artist and I learned some neat stuff from him. It's not surprising that such an endearing story came from his imagination.

A terrific read, teaching life lessons with adorable characters

A terrific read, teaching life lessons with adorable characters. You'll quickly fall in love with the charming illustrations that accompany the tale. Even though I am not the age group it is intended for, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! I'm so grateful for a wholesome story that is engaging and full of so many good values. Well done!

Five Stars

Amazing read for kids and adults. Life changing themes!

It's a great book, with a good message for kids, and very entertaining.

I was very excited to read Westly: A Spider's Tale to my 2nd grade class. I have to say, they were enchanted from the first chapter. They really loved the characters and they also liked the different voices I used as I read the novel to them. This book is perfect for the age group I teach, 7-8 year olds. They couldn't wait each day until after lunch when it was time for Read-Aloud. They all groaned when I ended a chapter and put the book away to do something else. They learned the main message from the book, {which impressed me} without me telling them.

I decided to have my class help me write this review. When we finished the book, I had them write down what they liked the most about Westly. Who better to see how kids liked the book than hear from kids themselves? So here is what they had to say, at least those who turned their paper in...{There may be some spoilers here :) and the spelling has been corrected in order for you to read their comments. ;) }

Beckett: "My favorite character was the raven. I liked the book because Westly became a hero and saved all the insects."

Cole: "My favorite characters were Westly, Zug Zug and the Raven."

Ava: "I like when Westly turns into a spider. My favorite characters is Zug Zug the fly."

Gretta: "My favorite part was when Wesley was in the menagerie and he almost died, but it was super, duper sad...I would think every body would like Westly. It is awesome; my favorite book!

Ty: "Westly learned being different was fine."

Serg: "I learned that at the end Westly became King of the menagerie."

Aryianna: "I learned it doesn't matter if someone is different. I just love Westly. It's a good book!"

Brooklyn: "I liked the part where Westly's dad hugs him. I want to share it with my friends."

Evan: "I liked that we don't have to be sad if we are different.
