Publisher's Summary:

Arianna Kelt is a reformed thief and wizard seer. Now you wouldn't think being a wizard seer would be such a big deal, but it is a big deal to the Wizards of Skyhall. For you see, these particular wizards are sworn to protect the citizens of Earth from all the things they shouldn't know about - namely wizards, warlocks, and all the creatures of the magical realms that no humans should know exist.

Arianna Kelt and the Renegades of Time is the sequel to teen author J. R. King's debut novel, which he completed at age 12. The novel was published in 2006 when he was just 14. Shortly after his first book was published, he completed work on this second novel. With its publication, King, at 15, joined the ranks of a rare cadre of teen authors with multiple books in print. Listen to this novel and see for yourself why people all around the world are so excited.

Even better than the first one

King's debut novel "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" was an utter delight. I was thrilled and glued to the recording from the first moment the story started to the end. When the second one came out I wasn't sure if the author could top the first and I was so glad when I found the author had. Any fan of Paolini or Rowling who hasn't listened to the Arianna Kelt books is missing out on a great story. King is the best teen author in print today.

Calling all Potter, Eragon, Fowl fans

The entire family has been listening to the Arianna Kelt books. This young author (15 years old) has created a magical world that far outshines Artemis Fowl, Eragon and Potter. The few rough edges in the story only made it all the better because you know the author will mature and be one of the greats. We loved every minute of it.

An exciting adventure for all ages!

What a fantastic book and a story that'll bring your imagination to life! My family truly enjoyed listening to the first one and we were so excited when the new one came out recently. This young author has tremendous talent and the story is fun and exciting. Digorence the gnome is hillarious.

Incredible

You may ask, does this book succumb to the usual Second-Instalment-of-the-Trilogy syndrome, where its this one that falters and is generally the most boring of the three? The answer is NO! Not even one tiny bit! If there ever was a book that somehow expanded a universe, added to a monumental mystery, increased the incredible intrigue, wreaked havoc on your daily schedule, expanded on the old and lovable characters and tossed in a few more amazing characters to boot, its this one. I also think it relates to a typical teenage life in how a person thinks life is all carefree and wonderful and then a huge responsibility, like saving the world in Ariannas case, changes your opinion on things. Being able to travel between worlds is very interesting. Cant wait to get the third.

Awesome #2!

J R King does it again. Another great book that kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it, and I thought Wizard of Skyhall was good! Like many other fans I am eagerly awaiting the release of the next book. I would recommend this book to anyone who would read it. Keep up the good work JRK!

Language: English

Release date: 04-24-06

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

But now Ophie has moved to Oregon. No glamour, no magic, and no Lizzy. Just this weird girl, Brittany Borg, who seems to have stuck herself on Ophie (and who called her "Hey, Peeler!").

Why oh why can't life ever be like it is in the movies?

Members Reviews:

I love this book! Brittany is hilarious! Ophie is amazing.

If you liked Judy Blume's book, Otherwise Known As Shiela the Great, you will love Ophie Out of Oz! Ophie's Secret Self is Dorthy of Oz no matter where she goes, and she is such a fun, unique character. She wears Ruby Slippers just like Dorothy, and I would follow her anywhere! I love her excited approach to life, like when the teacher gives them an assignment to write a poem about the seasons, and instead of writing some dull poem about snow or falling leaves, Ophie writes a poem about a boa constrictor squeezing somebody to death called Amazon Winter!

Lonely at her new school, Ophie wants to get in good with the fabulous TV Girls who sing commercials for a Cadillac dealership. Instead she has to put up with Brittany Borg, one of the funniest characters you will ever read in a book!

Brittany is hilarious, especially when she thinks she is an EMT and driving an ambulance! I would tell you more about her but I don't want to spoil all the fun! Get this book and see for yourself.....

Ophie out of oz

I am [..] and in the [...]and love this book. It is infact one of my favorites. When Ophie Peeler moves from sunny california to rainy oregon and goes to a new school where she wants to show her talents and fit in,the two popular " T.V. girls" are stealing her stardom and making her life difficult.,and her precious ruby red slippers dont fit her anymore! Yet she meets Brittany borg and her little sister Tana who are nice and accept Ophie for who she is, even though brittany is the weird girl in the class ,ophie becomes her friend. When the T.V girls finaly let Ophie into their group only because of one reason, Ophie will have to choose between Brittany,tana and the T.V. girls. Will Ophie ever feel at home? This is a must read book for most kids in 3rd to maybe [...]rade. You must get it!

Ophie Out of Oz

"Ophie" is a funny book about Ophie Peeler and her journeys through friendship. When moving to a new town, she finds herself stuck with a girl called Britney instead of the TV girls, who are popular and star in TV commercials. When one day she finds out that a present from her dad will make the TV girls talk to her, she breaks off her friendship with Britney to be popular. Finally she realizes what a true friend is- someone who likes you as you are (Britney), not someone who likes you for your belongings.

I'd say the book was written for 3rd-5th graders though Ophie herself is in 4th grade, but I'm going into 7th grade and it's still funny and enjoyable for summer reading.

I have an unedited edition and i loved the story

I read it as a child and i loved the character. its a good chapter book for people looking for advanced reads for thier kids.

it was average good okay

it was an average rated book for me it was a good book buy it a good book for children about staying tre to your friends

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Now here I am, locked in the stationery cupboard.

Is it because she's just stuffed a grog into Darryn Peck's mouth?

Or is it because of her Dad?

Editorial Reviews:

The first day of school is never easy, especially when you are mute and have a nasty bully hurling insults your way. Though Rowena Batts was born "with some bits missing" from her throat, shes trying her best to prove shes just like everyone else. Unfortunately after a heated exchange with the class bully, she finds herself locked in a cupboard before the morning has passed. Performed by the hilarious and enthusiastic Mary-Anne Fahey, Blabber Mouth is the funny story of intrepid Rowena and her attempts to fit in at her new school.

Critic Reviews:

"Mary-Anne Fahey does a stellar job portraying the emotions and communications of this smart, good-hearted girl....Unique characters and an intriguing story make Blabber Mouth a success." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Blabber mouth

This story is about a girl named Rowena Batts that can't talk. Her father is a apple farmer. Even if she thinks he is the best dad in the world she thinks his shirts are ruining his chances of love,and that his singing voice is ruining her friendship,and she'll stop driving his trator if he doesn't pull his head in.

It's an average boring childern's book

This book was really a load of rubish and I don't know why people have raved over it. It's boring and is really a book for quite a young age group. Half the characters in it are really dumb for their age. It's not very good at all.

It's the best book I've ever read.

Mr. Glietzman, Please write more books just like this one. I think the characters are funny. The story is interesting.

Publisher's Summary:

Jake lives with his parents in a holiday hideaway hotel; the hotel's main attraction is that it is a "kid-free" zone. When a couple from a magazine arrive to do a feature on the hotel, Jake must keep out of the way to ensure they have a great kid-free time. But things don't go according to plan.

Editorial Reviews:

When your parents own and operate an "adults only" resort, you spend most of your time trying your best to stay out of sight. For Jake, that means exploring the remote island he calls home by himself, surfing the Internet alone, and attending school via a two-way radio. Adults Only, written and performed with an enchanting animation by Morris Gleitzman, follows Jake as hes pushed to the brink of loneliness while marooned out on his parents resort. In a moment of desperation, he sends out a mass email hoping to attract some kids. What happens next, though, Jake could never imagine.

Critic Reviews:

"Morris Gleitzman's children's stories are among the most widely read and loved." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

King Caspian II Enjoyed This Book!

What did you love best about Adults Only?

I enjoyed the way the author kept us inside the thoughts of the POV character the whole time without any breaks in the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The teddy bear. He always had such interesting and amusing insights! :-)

Which scene was your favorite?

Jake meeting the other children. I won't spoil that by further details...listen for yourself!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Jake's final decision was handled with particular delicacy. I can see why this book has averaged so high with other reviewers.

Any additional comments?

A definite favorite...even the "magic" rules made sense in terms of the story. 5 stars well earned. One minor blue note, but sensible rather than gratuitous. PG-13.

It's not easy being part of Ginger's family when you're allergic to cats; three of them love cats and five of them are cats. Now, the school principal is trying to kill Ginger's new best friend, a fierce-looking stray dog. Can Ginger expose Mr. Napier for the phoney he is?

Editorial Reviews:

Nothing is going right for poor Ginger in this hilarious audiobook from Morris Gleitzman. Its one thing to have a cat sneak into your schoolbag, but what happens when you are allergic to cats? This is just the beginning of the comical missteps and follies that surround Ginger as she tries to navigate a school and a family with whom she doesnt seem to fit in. Teachers Pet, performed enthusiastically by the author himself, is another great story from Gleitzman about more than just cats, dogs, and mean school principals, but also about one kids wishes to simply fit in.

Title: A Little Princess

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

It is the remarkable way which Sara copes, imagining things are not as bad as they seem, which has made her a role model for many young girls, who also hope to experience her happy ending.

Editorial Reviews:

When young Sara Crewe's world is spun akimbo, she remains true, unlike many of the rich girls at Miss Minchin's Seminary. The power of Sara's kindness and imagination steady her as her status changes from prized pupil to household drudge. "Things happen to people by accident," Sara believes, and serendipity plays a big part in Burnett's timeless story. Lucy Whybrow's performance is polished and provides a discreet British flavor. From the opening moments, Sara's goodness radiates and is juxtaposed with the falseness of the headmistress and her sister. As the "accidents" unfold, Whybrow invites listeners to partake of the magic.

Members Reviews:

A true classic

This story was always my wife's favorite. She forced us to watch the movie one day and both my daughter and I fell in love with the story with her. I'm not sure exactly what is so captivating about this story but it seems to draw you in. I guess it's the story of these children who are living in a shadow type of life and figure out on their own how to live in the sunlight. I don't want to say much more on the story or it may ruin it for some.

Well written story. Great for all ages.

What a wonderful job Burnett does bringing this book to life

What a wonderful job Burnett does bringing this book to life. Three children who needed each other came together and since I don't want to ruin the story for others who may want to read this book, I will not spoil it. The book made me laugh, cringe, happy, and sad. I couldn't put the book down.

I will say when life throws you lemons make lemonade. This book clearly demonstrates that.

Do not miss the chance to read this book. It is that good!

Wonderfully evocative children's tale.

One of my all time favourite childhood books, I have reread this so many times over 50+ years that I have lost count. The robin, Dickon, the garden, Ben Weatherstaff, the lingo, the house - all speak to me of my Yorkshire childhood. To this day I still want a walled garden of my very own. Sadly, this may be a book that will not appeal to this age's techy kids, but I hope it still gets read in some little corners, somewhere. Hopefully, classics like this will never rust and fade away.

Wonderful on so many levels that I thoroughly enjoyed it

A classic I had not read as a child. Wonderful on so many levels that I thoroughly enjoyed it, even as adult reading. The metaphor of the garden coming to life was beautifully crafted and the characters are well developed. One slowly starts to like even the least likeable ones, as they start to blossom and come to life, just like the garden.

Publisher's Summary:

But since Daddy died, Amelia has stopped believing in anything. Not prayer. Not miracles. And certainly not the crackpot visions of an ex-convict named Brother Mustard Seed who claims to have contact with her daddy.

Brother Mustard Seed is determined to bring a little faith back into Amelia's life, no matter how hard she tries to stop him. And when the strange little man moves in with her and her mama, Amelia realizes her life will never be the same again.

Critic Reviews:

"A fine debut from a writer to watch." (Booklist)

"Explore[s] the jumbled, quasi-mystical connections between belief and bravery, laughter and letting go....The book's twangy first person narrative keeps the reader engaged to the touching, tear-inducing end." (Kirkus Review)

Review of Pray Hard by Pamela Walker

Amelia Forrest and her mom live in Kentucky and both are trying to deal with the sudden death of Amelia's father. Amelia's father was flying a plane when it crashed. Even though the crash was considered an accident, Amelia felt she was responsible. A very eccentric man appeared at Amelia's door wearing a cap that said PRAY HARD. When he learned that Amelia's father was dead, he cried and cried. He told Amelia that his name was Brother Mustard Seed and that Amelia's father had made a profound impact on his life. Brother Mustard Seed claimed that Amelia's father had appeared to him in a vision and said, "Go to my family. They need your help." Amelia's mother invites this stranger to stay with them. Amelia is not pleased. Amelia's mother tells Amelia that Amelia's daddy had told her once, "That girl of mine has her head in the clouds just like me, but her feet never leave the ground."

Read this book to see what happens to Amelia, the visions, and Brother Mustard Seed.

It is interesting how the book unfolds to help Amelia to deal with her loss. This book leads itself to a sequel. If Pamela Walker writes a sequel, I will definitely buy it. I would really like to know what happens next.

I would recommend this book to third, fourth, and fifth graders. This book would be an excellent book for anyone who has lost a parent. The charcters in this book are interesting and bring different dimensions to the story. This story is very unique and I will keep it in my classroom library.

Pray Hard

I read the book Pray Hard, by Pamela Walker. THis is a realistic fiction book. The book is about a girl named Amelia Forrest, 12 years old, that is trying to deal with a lot of problems in her life. Amelia needs to pray for getting her horrible grades up, trying to get along better with her mom, and dealing with how she feels about her father's death. Amelia is about to loose all faith...

I have mixed emotions about this book. I liked it because it had a religious side to it, but it was kind of depressing. I would have rather read a more uplifting book, but once I pick up a book, I usually finish it. I would recomend this book for middle school level kids.

Pray Hard by Pamela Walker

I don't consider myself a very religious person. And while the title gave me pause, the book itself was not at all "religious" in the way I expected. It certainly lends itself to any interpretation from holy intervention to something more "other worldly", if you believe that WE are all connected in some way.
