Cute Story, Great Lesson!

A very nice story with an important lesson about friendship. Entertaining as well! Although this is a story for 9-12 year olds, I think even younger kids would find it fun. I'm also interested in the audio versions of the Rebekah stories-- great for the kids in the car. Highly recommended!

Can't give it away! Fun read...

Love Rebekah and her best friend...she's so good at figuring things out, and this one gives her a run for her money! My nephew and I love Rebekah and Mouse...my niece, too! Fun read.

Horrible but Humorous

We homeschool and LOVE the Horrible Histories books. So many books sugar coat history. Horrible Histories doesn't AT ALL but it still presents some pretty dark topics with humor making them age appropriate for older elementary students. Even my middle schooler likes to read them!

Five Stars

very good book and with lots of odd facts

Fun Chapter Book

This is a nice story for early readers. The pacing is good; the writing is clear. There is a good mix of humor, adventure, and history. The story is accessible for advanced young readers, but not condescending so it would work for ten year olds who are a year or two behind.

We can't get enough of this series!!

This book was intriguing from the first page! Neither I nor my 12 year old son can wait for the next book in the series. Interesting, clever, educational and funny with lots of surprises. Everything you want in a good book. I would recommend this to my young friends and my old. Well done.

Amazing time to be had

The book was great I loved it. My kids also enjoy it. I can't wait for the second one to arrive

Finally one of the most underappreciated heroes of the Revolution in a fictional book!

This was a great book! It had a lot of historical information and a great plotline. This is a must-read!

Good book for my daughter

My 7 year old enjoyed reading this book. It has history tied in with a historical story. We will be ordering book #2.

Title: Wren Journeymage

Author: Sherwood Smith

Narrator: Andi Ackerman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The first summer of peace brings Wren on her weekly visit to the young Queen Teressa, where she encounters the derisive, upsetting Hawk Rhiscarlan riding in! Wren races to warn Teressa, only to discover that he's expected, which causes the girls' first argument. Tyron gives Wren a chance to leave Meldreth by sending her on a new journeymage project - to find Connor, who had wandered off to the Summer Isles. When Wren vanishes, her scry stone abandoned, Teressa veers between regret over the argument, worry about Wren, and the beguilement of attraction as Hawk skillfully upsets her court. Wren has just made friends with some young sailors when they are captured and forced on board a shady smuggler, where Wren learns all about the sea. When pirates attack, Wren does magic, which leads her straight to another confrontation with the villain she hates most, aided by the boy shewhat do you call these feelings? Once again the four - Wren, Teressa, Connor, and Tyron - find themselves deep in adventure, as they try to navigate the treacherous waters of growing up.

Editorial Reviews:

The conclusion to the epic Wren saga rejoins author Sherwood Smith's four fast friends - Wren, Tess, Connor, and Tyron - but much has changed, and the group is pulling in different directions. Tessa, now queen of Meldrith, has her hands full with the bellicose Hawk Rhiscarlan, who has proved a polarizing figure for the old friends, attracting Wren's ire and Tess' eye. Wren decides to leave Meldrith and take up a new journeymage charge with a group of sailors. On the high seas, the magician finds herself up against smugglers, pirates, and - for the first time in ages - romance. Striking a tone at once epic and whimsical, performer Andi Ackerman - a veteran voice of Smith's work - lends lush and captivating role playing to this eccentric cast.

Adventurous Ending for a Delightful series

After a disastrous argument with her best friend Queen Teressa over the impending visit of the odious Hawk who Teressa wants to court, Wren takes the suggestion of her friend court wizard Tyron and leaves for the Summer Isles in search of their missing friend Prince Connor. The story swings between following court life as the courtship of Teressa and Hawk plays out and everyone holding their collective breaths for Hawk to show off his true colors and for Teressa to open her eyes and see Hawk for who he truly is rather than just the rose-tint of lust and the adventure of Wren who soon finds herself kidnapped and pressed into service as a deckhand on a pirate ship. And like clockwork, the scraggly head of Andreas, the villain through all of the other books in the series eventually pops up to make Wrenâs journey even more of a trial as he is marshalling forces for a future invasion.

I know other reviews have criticized this for being shorter than the other books, and for not having the same feel as the rest of the books. For me, the length seemed about the same, as for having the same feel, itâs true the children have grown up with this book, so they are entering teens, so while the other books have read more like childrenâs books, this was definitely a step into the YA field with tentative experimenting with romance. And while others werenât that happy with the match ups, I certainly was since I really wanted for Connor to finally have someone who could accept him and love him back.

Title: Rachmaninov

Author: Darren Henley

Narrator: Marin Alsop

Format: Abridged

Length: 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-02-13

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

This is a story from the More Famous Composers collection.

The first volume of Famous Composers, written by Darren Henley and read by Marin Alsop, the American conductor, won a prestigious Audie in the US. Here, Henley and the Naxos AudioBooks team bring the combination of an entertaining but informative "life" and numerous musical selections to a further set of six composers: Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Rachmaninov, and contemporary artist Paul Williams.

Editorial Reviews:

Darren Henley, the director of a UK national radio station, loves classical music. He strives to bring this passion to modern audiences through these short, compelling biographies of great composers. Here, he details the life and work of Sergei Rachmoninov, the face of Romanticism in Russian classical music. Marin Alsop's straightforward performance lets the fascinating stories speak for themselves. Her warm voice proves lighthearted but informative. The production benefits from excerpted music and occasional sound effects. Both of Henley's series, Famous Composers and More Famous Composers, ought to appeal to even casual history or music fans.

Critic Reviews:

"The pleasantly voiced Marin Alsop once again acts as musical tour guide, giving historical context and sharing engaging bits of information... while also calling our attention to interesting, illustrative moments in the music. Though clearly designed for children, this engaging audio experience is educational for a wide audience." (AudioFile)

Great book for entertaining and teaching!

I loved the story and the writing style of this book. Along with entertaining kids, the book also teaches kids how to thoroughly look for things until they find them...(a skill my kids still need to work on!) The author also uses a lot of good descriptive language that will help teach children about day to day items. Recommended.

Engaging Mystery and Gentle Moral Lesson

My kids and I really enjoy this well-written series where honesty, attentiveness and friendship are common themes.

But this book also features a missing mouse and a mean cat -- and a surprising twist toward the end.

Keep 'em comin' Nanny P!

Kids Love Rebekah!

My 14 year old has been reading these Rebekah, Girl Detective stories to two younger girls that she babysits and now they are starting to drive her crazy wanting her to read more! These are on a third to fifth grade level but even younger kids would enjoy having these read to them.

Great story of friendship and compassion

Rebekah is on the detective trail again. This fun, short story, about the search for a missing mouse, told with honesty and compassion, will keep young readers turning the pages, while learning valuable lessons about relations with others.
