I always loved this story as a kid. Good to have it back.

Monster Maker

Boring. Jim Henson's t.v version was way better and more interesting. The kid in this book is such a whiny little brat you can't wait to get to the end of the book so you wont have to put up with him anymore. Basically nothing happens in the whole book except in the kids overactive imagination. Please smack him on the head with a reality stick!

Excellent!

Excellent!

Lots of beasties with simplistic writing, younger kids might enjoy it

This is the third book in "An Awfully Beastly Business" series. I didn't read the first two books, but received this copy through the Amazon Vine program. It was an okay book and is meant for a young audience. It would be fine to start with this book, the authors provided enough backstory that you don't need to read the previous two books to figure out what is going on.

Ulf is a werewolf who works at the RSPCB (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Beasts). When the RSPCB receives a message from one of their spotters that only reads "HELP!" Dr. Fielding and the giant Orson take off to check it out. Ulf, not wanting to be left behind, stows away in the cargo area of the helicopter with his fairy friend Tiana. Ends up someone is abusing some trolls and it is up to the RSPCB to help those trolls out!

Keep in mind I am an adult reading this book. I actually read quite a few book meant for the age 8-12 set as well as young adult books. Somehow though the dialogue in this book came across as very childlike and dumbed down. The sentences are kept very short and simple, which resulted in the characters sounding kind of clipped and unnatural. The pace of the book is brisk. Ulf goes from one dangerous scene to the next, with not much time for scenic detail or internal character thoughts. All the characters act how you expect them to and events progress how you would expect them to; no surprises here.

There are a lot of interesting beasties presented. They are almost always talked about in passing, with not much time spent on learning more about any of them. Many of the things Ulf deals with are pretty stereotypical; there is a giant spider in the cave, the evil people are poachers with personalities you've seen in similar characters. There are also some very funny illustrations throughout the book which did add a lot to the story.

I personally thought that the story, characters, etc were okay but nothing too exciting. When I try to step back and look at this from a 8-12 year old point of view; I think I would have enjoyed all the crazy beasties and the action. Still there are better books out there in the 8-12 age range. For exampleFablehaventargets this same age group and is a much better and more complicated story, as isThe Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1). This book is also extremely short I finished it in under an hour. The whole time I just got the feeling that this book was meant for children even younger than 8. The print is very big, the book very short, and the language and plot extremely simple.

In summary, this might be an okay quick read for younger children. Don't expect something that will change your child's life, this is a "just for fun" type of read. If you or your kid are really into this type of fantasy I strongly recommendFablehavenby Brandon Mull.

A brilliant addition to the PC Hawke mystery series!

Even in my 30s, i really enjoyed this YA murder mystery. I listen to the audio version more than read it (i have more time to listen than read), and it is a very snappy story with a suspenseful plot. The teenage private eye PC Hawke and his companion Mac(kensie) are in Monoco and are on the trail of a murderer when someone in their hotel is killed. With the help of the chief inspector's beautiful redhead daughter Juliette (who although blind makes up for it with her other senses, primarily smell (trust me, it makes sense), and her brains) they track down this vicious killer. It has the right amount of scary scenes and suspense without being gory. The pace and dialogue is very good, and will keep an adult riveted as well (at least it did for me)

Such a shame Mr Zindel (the author) died before publishing the last few manuscripts from this series. Every single one of the PC Hawke mysteries is a winner in my opinion!

The third book in the thrilling P.C. Hawke Mysteries series.

P.C. and Mac are thrilled when Mac's dad invites them to join him on a business trip in Monaco, where he will be a speaker at the International Psychiatric Association Conference. They spend the beginning of their trip having fun: seeing the sites, relaxing on the beach, and eating at cafes. But their vacation fun is interrupted when Harriet Epstein-Hopper, who is also attending the conference, is murdered, apparently by a vicious serial killer known as Cyrano. Even though Mac's father warns them not to get involved, P.C. and Mac can't help themselves. Along with Juliette, the inspector's daughter, they determine to find out who really is responsible. Anyone who enjoyed the first two P.C. Hawke Mysteries is sure to like this one as well.

Title: Prune

Author: Ramon Royal Ross

Narrator: Ramon Royal Ross

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 07-28-09

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

When his crate tips over, Prune meets Pica, a magpie. As they travel together, they meet Muskrat. The three soon become friends and begin an epic quest that will teach them much about loyalty, adventure, and courage.

Critic Reviews:

"The author's detailed descriptive passages paint vivid images of a Washington fruit farm and its animal and human inhabitants. The descriptions are colorful, factual, and informative....The single outbursts of profanity in one scene and the vivid description of the killing of one animal and the maiming of two others by a moving machine in another need to be considered when offering this to young audiences. Author and narrator Ramon Royal Ross speaks clearly and changes voices for each character. There are no sound effects or background noises to distract from the flow of the story." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Prune!

This book was written by a dear friend of mine, and I knew it had been out of print for a very long time.

On a whim, I tried to find it on Amazon.com and was quite surprised to find a very good used copy that had

been in a library. It's a great story! I also recommend Dr. Ross' Harper & Moon story. It is still on school

library bookshelves.

This book ruined my life

Way back in 1987 or so I was in the 4th grade in San Diego, CA. Every year, all the kids in the 4th grade got to go whale watching on a boat of the San Diego coast. I, however, was in the "advanced" class. We didn't go anywhere the day the other 4th graders went whale watching, we had normal school that day because we had a different field trip planned. Not long after we went to "The Author's Conference". You could hear the capital letters whenever my teacher said it. The author we got to meet was none other than Ramon Royal Ross, author of "Prune".

Our teacher had read us Prune and asked us to come up with questions to ask Mr. Ross. He briefly answered out questions and then proceeded to tell us how awful our lives were because we played with manufactured toys and video games and when he was a boy in Walla Walla you had to make your own fun by whittling sticks and getting bug bites and such.

So, when all the other kids got to go spend a warm, Spring day on a boat out on the beautiful open water enjoying God's most majestic creatures, we smart kids had the privilege of listening to an old man who had written a book about an anthropomorphic prune tell us how spoiled we were and how our childhoods were being wasted.

That's the day I became a cynical, misanthropic wretch and learned that intelligence is really a handicap.

Prune jumpstarts children's imagination...

As a group of 8 year olds, my classmates and I had the attention span of a swirling cloud of gnats. This book, however, managed to capture our attention as we wondered whether or not the unlikely heroic figure of a fallen fruit would survive until the next day. We hung on our teacher's every word as she told tales of muskrats and magpies in a world where the impossible became real. Now, eleven years later, I still credit my love for the realm of reading to the jumpstart that Prune gave to my imagination--and certainly to many others. To the author, and to my teacher (who read this book aloud to a group of antsy eight year olds), I give my thanks for the doors they opened with a little book simply known as Prune.

Publisher's Summary:

A free trip to the Northern Territory! Sounds good, thinks Marcus ('Mucus' to his sister Rose). But when his best friend Dylan joins the family holiday, mayhem is not far away. Marcus and Dylan's trip also involves Blacky, a surly, farting dog with attitude, who can hear Marcus think, plus a monster saltwater crocodile who'd rather chomp on a human for dinner than have a civilized conversation.

Then there's the small matter of a giant big-game hunter on a collision course with our heroes. And will Marcus be any match for his mean older sister Rose and her best friend Cy Ob Han? You can listen to more of Marcus, Dylan and Blacky's hilarious adventures in The Dog that Dumped on My Doona.

Editorial Reviews:

Having trouble getting your rambunctious 12-year-old to sit still and listen to an audiobook? Try promising him a farting dog who can hear people think, a giant man-hungry crocodile, and the spectacular setting of Australias Northern Territory. Author Barry Jonsberg has created this comic romp for kids as a sequel to his The Dog That Dumped on My Doona.

What could be better? Its performed by the one and only Stig Wemyss, a crackerjack of a childrens performer, well known for his own zany series, The Tripp Diaries.
