The Naughtiest Girl is a Moniter

I was pleased when my purchase arrives ahead of time, and the product arrived in perfect condition. However: The edition which is depicted in the photograph is of an earlier edition than the book I recieved, so I was disappointed because I especially wanted a matched set (I have purchased the other two books already). For others who may be in my position, the edition I recieved was the 1989 edition, not the 1973 depicted.

Naughtiest Girl 3 : The Naughtiest Girl is a Monitor

This is the third book and i have read it at least 20 times. Enid Blyton fans know that the series is a master piece and does teach hows and whys of life in a simple and practical ways.

I have always been fond of the series and on Kindle, it is indeed a pleasure to listen and read it when i miss my childhood. Thanks Amazon for getting this on Kindle.

The naughtiest girl in the school 3:the naughtiest girl is a monitor

Good book

Love all this authors books.Good book for kids aged 9+! Can't wait to read more frm this collection.dont hesitate to purchase any of these books!

Who's Responsible For This?

In this third Naughtiest Girl book Elizabeth Allen is starting the school year as a monitor - elected by her classmates and expected to be responsible and mature. Well, yes, good luck with that. This time around we learn about responsibility, false and careless accusations, and how to make, lose, and remake friends and enemies. It's a pure dose of naughty girl, with a side of good intentions.

I've come around on the appeal of these "Naughtiest Girl" books, and here's why. My first reaction was sort of negative. Naughty Elizabeth is a bit over the top, the situations she gets into seem too antic and manufactured, and the resolutions are rather pat. There are lots of kids characters and they are quicksilver in their "like you - hate you - we're best friends - we're enemies" snap judgments. There's a lot of "I like the cut of your jib" and "she's O.K. 'cause she's made of the right stuff" judging going on. It all seems rather brisk and snappish and rather shallow.

But, when weighing all of this I began to see the appeal of the Naughtiest Girl and of other more old fashioned girl heroine books. (Pollyhanna, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Heidi, and any girl from any size House on thePrairie would eat these modern girls up and spit them out.) In the Naughtiest Girl books Elizabeth makes mistakes and howlingly bad decisions. She then recognizes her errors or has them pointed out to her by supportive friends or patient, understanding adults. She tries to do better - as a friend, as a classmate, and as a person.

Title: The Borrowers

Author: Mary Norton

Narrator: Christopher Eccleston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-05-17

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents for the first time the complete, unabridged audio edition of Mary Norton's The Borrowers.

The Borrowers live in the secret places of quiet old houses: behind the mantelpiece, inside the harpsichord, under the kitchen clock. They own nothing, borrow everything and think that human beings were invented just to do the dirty work.

Arrietty's father, Pod, was an expert Borrower. He could scale curtains using a hatpin and bring back a doll's teacup without breaking it. Girls weren't supposed to go borrowing, but as Arrietty was an only child her father broke the rule - and then something happened which changed their lives.

She made friends with the human boy living in the house....

Members Reviews:

A surprisingly enjoyable book for all ages! This is the first in a series and they're all great!

This is a book that can be enjoyed by all ages...from grade school on up. I was well into adulthood when I read this book. I picked up the series at the library but decided I want to own the books. Will introduce them to my granddaughters when they're a bit older--maybe age six or so. But buy this book even if you don't have any kids or grandkids! This book was the inspiration for the movie 'The Secret World of Arrietty.' I won't see the movie because I have a picture in my mind of all the characters. Don't want a movie changing that.

Great Audio Book

Love this book and the audio cd is a great addition to my listening library. I was going to read it aloud to my 6 year old, but the audio book was much easier to pop in and listen to in the car and at home. Now he can read his hard copy when he gets a little older.

Five Stars

I forgot how humorous this book was. A must have for any children's collection.

Loved this whole series since I was very young

Loved this whole series since I was very young, bought them to read to my grand kids when they visit.

Great book!

I loved it, as it was a great and beautifully unique book. I recommend this to all fantasy lovers. :)

Loved it

Finished it by the end of the weekend it was so good I was always wanting more I am really sad it is over but I had I great time listening to it

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!

This book is a great choice for anyone who wants to step into another world. Not only does it make you question about the world/story but it makes you realise that there is such a thing as, 'too perfect.' I love how imaginative the story was, the unique characters and how easy it was to read it then fall into the story. It really was quite addictive. Also, the theme of family and friends throughout the book gives you a nice sense of understanding and comfort. The narrator was good too.

However, the only bad thing is that the plot was very predictable and I had the basic idea of what was going on in the second chapter of the story. This meant that you felt the writer did not make it that hard for you to figure it out, unless this was intended for younger people like 10yr olds.

I myself am 13 and really enjoyed the book, despite this. Overall, I think anyone who gets this story will not regret it because of the relatable characters and captivating story. This is a very easy, exciting read that everyone can love.

Great Story!

This kept all of us, my 7 year old daughter, 9 year old son, husband and me all hooked. It was a really imaginative and unusual story. My daughter found some of the descriptions of the eyes a little gory, but it was perfectly pitched to provide a little mild horror without being too scary. Would highly recommend.

Title: Steve Jobs: Technology Innovator and Apple Genius

Author: Matt Doeden

Narrator: Intuitive

Format: Unabridged

Length: 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-17

Publisher: Lerner Publishing Group

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

On October 5, 2011, the news of the death of technology innovator Steve Jobs rocked the world. The failing health of the Apple cofounder and Pixar CEO was no secret. Jobs had given up his role as Apple's CEO just a few months prior because of his struggle with pancreatic cancer. But his death still drew a huge reaction. From Apple employees and fans to political and business leaders, people honored Jobs' passing by reflecting on his prolific life that greatly influenced the way technology is used.

In 1976, Jobs founded Apple Computer with Steve Wozniak. As the leaders of Apple, they developed concepts - such as navigating by using a mouse to click screen icons - that shaped the way we use and interact with computers. Jobs' forward-thinking engineering also influenced pop culture, bringing us a music revolution with the iPod, the ultimate communication device with the iPhone, and some of the first computer-animated films through Pixar.

Called by some "the da Vinci of our time," Jobs used his innovation and vision to help advance technology like no other. He lived his life following a simple premise: "The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."

Members Reviews:

This is a marvelous look at Steve Jobs, one of the world's greatest "technology innovators."

It was 1955 and anyone who had a child born out of wedlock would be frowned upon. Most likely Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali's child would be ostracized so they made the difficult decision to give their baby up for adoption. A childless couple, one very anxious to take baby Steve, Paul and Clara welcomed him into their family. Young Steve had "a happy and enriching childhood" with a family who loved and cherished him. His mother, realizing his intelligence, "taught Steve to read even before he started school." His father, according to Steve, "spent a lot of time with me, teaching me how to build things, how to take things apart, put things back together." Undoubtedly, Steve Job's early, nurturing family life put him on a path to success.

Steve had little interest in school and was the target of bullies. The family moved and he began to flourish, especially when he found a group of students who also "shared his interest in engineering and electronics." It was during that time Steve made connections with engineers who were actually developing computers at Hewlett-Packard. His bold, inquiring ways opened doors for him and soon he "met fellow computer enthusiast," Steve Wozniak. Another interest, one that was much more objectionable to his father, was an interest in drugs. After he dropped out of college, he brashly approached the Atari offices and demanded to be hired. Amazingly, they took him on and he began working on game designs.

In the back of his mind Steve was always interested in starting his own company and when he ran into Wozniak once again, things began to gel. They dreamed of making a "computer in which a monitor, a keyboard, and a processor were all part of the same unit," one that the average Joe could actually use. This dynamic duo, one who would ultimately part ways, began to struggle to raise cash. Apple Computers was born and within a few short years would begin to flourish.

Title: The Drained Brains Caper

Subtitle: Chicagoland Detective Agency, Book 1

Author: Trina Robbins

Narrator: Book Buddy Digital Media

Format: Unabridged

Length: 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-28-17

Publisher: Lerner Publishing Group

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Raf knows Megan is trouble from the moment she steps into his mom's pet food store asking for a tarantula. But there's one thing you can count on in Chicagoland: Weird things happen several times a day.

Megan is a vegetarian, manga-reading haiku writer. She definitely doesn't fit in at Stepford Academy, her new summer school. The other students are happy to be in class. Too happy. And everyone looks and acts exactly alike. That's weird.

Megan is determined to dig into Stepford's secrets, but soon she's in way too deep. Raf may be the only human being she knows who can help. But with zombified students, very mad scientists, and the school psychiatrist on their trail, they're going to need a whole lot more help.

We did say that Chicagoland is weird....

Members Reviews:

I Spy With My Little Eye--a low point for Trina Robbins. (SPOILERS OMITTED)

The art is cute & charming.

The story makes **no** sense.

Kids aren't stupid--they can tell if something is well-written, or not.

The ending is worst. Ms Robbins seems to have written herself into a corner, realized that fact, and wrote an ending that, quite frankly, blew off all the previous pages. A cop-out, one would say.

Ms Robbin's cartooning is marvelous!

Her writing? At least here, I give it a D+.

Full of Surprises

I loved the surprises in this book: the haiku-writing Megan, the reluctant Raf, and, best of all, the dog, Bradley, who talks like somebody out of an old gangster movie. Great plot, great action, great panels. The plot holds together very well, and there's kindness and humor throughout, as well as a kind of slapsticky approach that isn't annoying. Highly recommended.

A silly and entertaining homage to both "Stepford Wives" and classic detective stories

I'd seen this graphic novel floating around at our library for some time, and I finally gave in to my curiosity and gave it a read. I was unfamiliar with both the author and the artist, but have since learned that the author, Trina Robbins, was an influential cartoonist during the golden age of underground comics, which means she must know something about creating a decent graphic novel. And while this first volume of her "Chicagoland" series isn't particularly groundbreaking, it's a fun adventure with an equally fun art style, and despite a few problems is a good start to an entertaining kid's graphic novel series.

"The Drained Brains Caper" starts off in the style of a film-noir detective series, with computer-genius Raf at his desk (in his mom's pet shop) when a dame on a mission -- the feisty, haiku-talking Megan -- walks in demanding a tarantula. Megan is attending the local summer school, Stepford Academy, in an attempt to start fresh after a disaster at her last school... but the kids at Stepford seem a little TOO happy, and a little TOO eager to follow the rules.

But dark forces are at work in Camelot. Enemies in Arthur's midst seek to take his throne. Rumors about Guinivere and Arthur's best knight and friend, Lancelot, set in motion a terrible conflict. Will Arthur fight to restore the peace in his kingdom, or is this the end of Camelot?

Members Reviews:

A fantastic graphic novel version of King Arthur and his friend and favorite Knight, Lancelot.

The story is King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are probably the most popular and most read of all the English legends. Robin Hood and his merry men probably comes in a close second. I have read numerous versions of this story in the past, as well as having seen many movies, and the play âCamelotâ several times.

When I saw this graphic novel version (Arthur & Lancelot: The fight for Camelot by Jeff Limke and Thomas Yeates) on Amazon I immediately purchased it. This version pretty much follows the standard King Arthur tale of his brave and loyal Knights. His best friend and most skillful knight is Sir Lancelot who fights often protecting the honor of the King and his wife Guinevere.

There are seven parts in this volume. The worldâs best knight, the Winchester tournament, foul Sir Meligrance, by Knights betrayed, a shamed knight, the search for Sir Lancelot, Escape to joyous Gard. There is also a glossary and pronunciation guide, further reading and websites and an index section.

If you love graphic novels and the legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table tale, you will want to check out this text. The graphics are excellent in this book.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Never Trust a Politician).

The loves and burdens of King Arthur

"Arthur & Lancelot: The Fight for Camelot," is a 48 paged comic interpretation of some of the Arthurian Legends; specifically the tales that detail the tragic triangle of England's King Arthur, his cherished wife Queen Guinivere, and his best friend, the great knight Lancelot. Written by Jeff Limke and illustrated by Thomas Yeates, this book is part of a series of "Graphic Myths and Legends" published by the Lerner Publishing Group and Millbrook Press, Inc. It is also a sequel to another book in this series,King Arthur: King Arthur: Excalibur Unsheathed (Graphic Myths and Legends); produced by the same creative duo of Limke and Yeates.

As this graphic novel begins:

"King Arthur had ruled England for many years, and his subjects loved him. His court at Camelot was a wondrous place. It had taken much work and much time, but England was now at peace."

However, that peace did not extend into Camelot itself. Jealous intrigues threatened to undermine all that the noble King Arthur had accomplished as monarch of England. The center of these plots were aimed at Gunivere, Arthur's lovely and beloved Queen, and Sir Lancelot, the King's closest friend and greatest of the Knights of the Round Table. "The Fight for Camelot" relates how these three heroic figures struggled to keep the ideals of Camelot alive, even as the emotional bond they shared is used to bring down the kingdom they helped create.

"Arthur & Lancelot" is an engaging comic version of the tales of Camelot. Mr. Limke and Mr.
