Publisher's Summary:

Frannie has been named principal for the day and she couldn't be more excited. To spend the whole day in an office - with a desk, a copier, and swivel chair, no less - is beyond her wildest dreams! Pretty soon all these office supplies are making her a little punchy, and before she knows it she's accidentally setting off the fire alarm, which is no small offense. But as principal of her own school, does she get to come up with her own punishment?

Members Reviews:

FF books are humorous and teach lessons student has to use critical thinking skills

My niece who is a "special needs" child is reading the Frankly Frannie books at school, and she and I e-mail each other back and forth about the book under her teacher's direction. I hope it has helped her. I have thoroughly enjoyed the books myself, being a retired high school English teacher. I think they hold the child's attention because they are humorous, but also teach a lesson. She asks me questions, and gives me her word of the day from the book! Great way to teach her.

Frankly Fantastic

I love the plot and plan. Her personal touch to words is absolutely delightful. I read this to my granddaughters and they laughed and laughed. They quote her often (example: "This is the most amazing day my ears have ever heard of.") Great for elementary age children!! (especially when read aloud.)

Five Stars

Fun book for third graders!

Frankly frannie

I would recommend it for a child to know some of the consequences in school

and I enjoyed it!

I got this for my daughter's book report~ I read it, too, and I enjoyed it!

Publisher's Summary:

Rupert P. Brown III is a scientist. In his room he has an aquarium experiment, a turtle experiment, and a nutrition experiment (two guinea pigs). But when he starts fifth grade, things happen that he has to label No known way to prove scientifically.

The new teacher, Miss Switch, has eyes in the back of her head. She can control spitballs and water fountains. Eventually, Rupert discovers her secret: Miss Switch is a witch. When she asks for his help, however, Rupert will need every bit of his scientific skill to find a solution to her spooky dilemma.

Barbara Brooks Wallace is author of many popular books for children, including Sparrows in the Scullery. In The Trouble with Miss Switch, she creates an adventurous tale where science and witchcraft join forces - with hilarious results. Parents may remember this story as a popular television Weekend Special. In this lively audio production, narrator Jeff Woodman captures the energy of each spirited moment.

Members Reviews:

Great classic

Fantastic book for ages 9 to about 12. Written back when kid's books weren't full of sex or swearing so you know you're in good shape giving this to any kid and you won't offend the parents.

Four Stars

Book was just what I was looking for

love it

Loved it as a kid. Love having this copy that has the artwork I remember from when I was a little girl. I can't wait to share this with the kids in my family.

I love this classic

I highly recommend for the child or adult who loves a great read. A great book and cartoon with fun and thrills.

Absolutely hilarious and original book

I loved this book. It's so funny--I kept laughing all the way through the book. I also loved how original this book is. It's about a witch, Miss Switch, who got banished from Witch Mountain. She's sentenced to teach a 5th grade class and to come up with some original witchcraft, so she enlists the help of one of her students, Rupert, who is a self-declared scientist.

This book is a great mix between a strict, but good teacher, a crazy witch, and a determined scientific boy. The mix that shouldn't mix works wonderfully well.

I think everyone will love this book.

Also, this book held up very, very well over the years. It was originally written in 1971, right after we first landed on the moon, and when computers didn't even have screens, but you interacted with them through cards.

Pros:

+Hilarious

+Such a fun book to read

+Great, engaging characters

+The audio reading was great

Cons:

-There is a little bit of dated technology

Title: The Tanglewood Terror

Author: Kurtis Scaletta

Narrator: Everette Plen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-13-11

Publisher: Listening Library

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

When 13-year-old Eric Parrish comes across glowing mushrooms in the woods behind his house, he's sure there's a scientific explanation. But when they start encroaching on the town - covering the football field and popping up from beneath the floorboards - Eric knows something's seriously wrong.

Not that much else is going right: his parents are fighting, his little brother Brian is a little pill, and he's had a falling-out with his football team - over a pig.

Then a runaway girl from a nearby boarding school warns Eric that the fungus could portend the town's doom and leave it in rubble - just like the village that inexplicably disappeared in the exact same spot over 200 years ago. Eric, Brian, and Mandy set out to solve a very old mystery and save the town of Tanglewood.

Kids Will Love It

Nothing can be scarier or more fun to read than a battle against time to save a town from death by fungus. In this book Scaletta sets his young hero a challenge that might just be too big, especially since heâs already under siege at home and with his team. Still thereâs that girl and his brother who might be able to help.

I loved Tanglewood and its adventurous kids. The action is great, the story twists exciting and the dialog perfect. From the captivating cover to the last scene the kids and I enjoyed this story.

Great characters & fun, twisty plot

My kids and I just finished The Tanglewood Terror and we really enjoyed it -everything that happens - a surge of invasive mushrooms overwhelming a small town in the Maine woods, a middle school boy who keeps getting in trouble for doing the right thing, a runaway girl determined to figure out what is really going on, and the legacy of an old science fiction writer who may or may not have left behind the solution to getting rid of those mushrooms - all this stuff gets put together in a wonderful, original way that somehow makes perfect sense and surprises the reader at the same time. A thoroughly satisfying, original story and the setting and characters are so great I hope there's a sequel!

Title: Our Island Story, Volume 1

Author: H.E. Marshall

Narrator: Daniel Philpott, Anna Bentinck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-13-10

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Our Island Story , by H.E. Marshall, is an Edwardian history book for younger listeners (aged six to 12) that tells the story of England, concluding with the reign of Queen Victoria. Antonia Fraser and many other current historians declare that it was this book that opened the delights of history for them. It fell from fashion in the 1960s, but its recent re-release in hardback has seen it become a publishing surprise in the UK, with sales of some 75,000 copies in a few months.

Now, Naxos AudioBooks releases it unabridged in three volumes, divided into three clear periods of history. Though slightly edited to take account of historical changes and attitudes, it is presented unabridged.

Editorial Reviews:

Not only will young listeners hear the fascinating story of Britain, they will also experience Marshall's Edwardian-style, since this history was written in 1905. Myth and reality are combined, substantially adding to the history commonly found in school books. Narrators Anna Bentinck and Daniel Philpott are spot-on as they continually switch accents and move from text to quotation in this fast-paced history. Bentinck presents the comprehensive introduction, and then she and Philpott take up the story, never failing to keep listeners' attention. Listening to this unique presentation is a rewarding experience.

Members Reviews:

... reading through this history book for several years and love it, but our version was a pretty poor ...

We have been reading through this history book for several years and love it, but our version was a pretty poor paperback reprint. I love this version of it! The color pictures make an immeasurable difference and the text is wonderfully clear (as in we experienced several pages in our old version where the text was so blurred we couldn't read it). So glad this is available in this format now!

A Well Written Story About Britain

This book is an excellent historical work about Britain and it is written for young children. It starts in the fog of ancient myths and ends with the Boer War. If a person wishes to get a very simple, very readable, and very enjoyable book about British history, than this is the scroll to buy.

Simplistic

Simplistic, but a fair overview of English/British history for someone in a hurry; I used it to check basic background while reading a novel about King Edward II, and it was effective for that. The book was obviously written for children.

Treasure

This book is a treasure. I am learning right along with my girls. All the stories highlight strong moral character traits. Like honesty, courage, kindness, and love. Wonderful!!!

Print too small for younger readers!

While the story itself is good, I bought it to read with my son. The print is entirely too small. It is poorly printed. It should have been done in larger print. I realize that would make it a thicker book, but the way it is done is not at all useful for younger readers, and if you are following the book list, this is recommended for younger readers. I was really frustrated because although I had it in electronic format, I try to limit my child's reading to books. I didn't send it back, but I wish I had.
