Modern man challenging ancient culture.

There were some interesting adventures undertaken by the Yankee in medieval times. His interaction with the superstitious, unchangeable population relates to our situation today. Society gets stuck in a rut and requires a major push to get out.

Some of the descriptions are a little drawn out but otherwise an interesting story.

Interesting but flawed

I feel like Mark Twain wrote this book so that he could explain through a nineteenth century American man's eyes what is wrong with the systems of monarchy and established religion. And criticize aspects of his own culture while he was at it. There is a lot of focus on the protagonist's brooding about all that. I would say he did this pretty well if the local characters weren't played so two dimensionally. It seems as if they are all just pretty stupid, "savage" as he calls them, not often learning from their mistakes, or from the technologies that the yankee introduces to them.

It's rather different than modern day time travel stories, I mean *spoiler* he does try to tear down the hierarchies, undermine the oppressors, and establish a republic. None of that nonsense about not changing the course of history or creating time paradoxes in here!

Anyway, it's a fun story most of the time, when it's not being too depressing- the protagonist's attitude reminded me a lot of Ash in Army of Darkness (except that Hank is considerably more compassionate). Even though it's lacking in some respects, Mark Twain is humorous and quotable as always.

Irrelevant to the story, but I sincerely hope that whoever did the graphic design on that cover wasn't paid for it.

Language is quite medievil at times - just as it should be.

All great a weel presented novel. I was facinated and could not put it down.

You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover!

Liked the story but the book itself was not what I expected. It does not include a title page, table of contents or page numbers. It appears the "book" was printed the day I ordered it. I ended up reading an electronic copy. Obviously the old adage still applies, "You can't judge a book by its cover."

Boring

I've tried but cannot get into this book. The narrator was poor also.

Good read

My 8 year old daughter loves this. I also bought her the paper book which she reads by herself. I believe this story gave ideas to kids about how to deal with emotional turmoil, set them free when they feel some confusing and conflicting feelings, and told them it is ok and it is normal. It talked about friendship and bullying, which is a great help too. My daughter started to write her own story, which is quite good. I only wished there are more books like this.

This book is a really good book. I gave it 4 stars because I read it a long time ago and I can't remember everything. It is mainly about Gaby, Chelsea and Valerie.(If that was'nt good enough for you read the book description.) Before you read any of the Camp Confidential books you should the books before.

Title: Raven Hill Mysteries #1

Subtitle: The Ghost of Raven Hill

Author: Emily Rodda

Narrator: Rebecca Macauley

Format: Unabridged

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Mystery and adventure are the last things Liz has in mind when she forms Teen Power Inc., Raven Hill High's own job agency. All she and her friends want to do is make some money, and they'll do just about anything. But mystery and adventure are both in store. They are soon confronted with a puzzle they just have to solve - with a little help from the Raven Hill ghost of course.

©2000 Emily Rodda; (P)2002 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Editorial Reviews:

"Emily Rodda" is the penname of Australian author Jennifer Rowe, who has won numerous awards for her children's, middle grade, and young adult fiction. The Raven Hill Mysteries series was originally published as Teen Power Inc., a reference to the odd job agency that drives the risky adventures of the collection's six protagonists.

In The Ghost of Raven Hill, Rebecca Macauley's youthful and chipper voice captures Liz, the first narrator of the series, who serves as the creator and de facto leader of Teen Power Inc. Macauley has acted on the legendary Australian soap opera Neighbours, but she has also found an exemplary niche in performing children's literature.

Critic Reviews:

"A good, sound mystery story." (Aussie Reviews)

"Narrator Rebecca Macauley is a master of voices, able to deepen and raise pitch remarkably as well as varying breathiness and tone to give a separate identity to each character." (School Library Journal)

This was a very enjoyable book, had some twists and turns, some were predictable while there were a few that you didn't see coming.

Publisher's Summary:

Would it seem ungrateful of Wally to point out the Mandible sisters' extra arms? Or to question their all-chocolate, all-the-time menu? Or, um, to venture into the cellar, where the twins have been told to NEVER, EVER, EVER go?

Yeah, perhaps that last bit was a mistake. Now there's nothing left for the Shluffmuffins to do but run - run for their lives!

Members Reviews:

LOVE this series

Best way to experience it : read it aloud (at night) to a 6 to 10 yr-old(s) - that way you get to do all the voices! WHEN WILL THIS MAKE IT TO THE BIG SCREEN ? -Haven't figured out who should play Wally & Cheyenne Schluffmuffin, but I picture Ken Branagh as Edgar Spydelle(clipped, can-do british accent), Ann Hathaway as Shirley Spydelle ( sweet giant spider who pines to have kids with Edgar, but doesn't want to be obliged to cannibalize her husband after conception, a la real spiders) - I give her a slight Long Island accent. The 'Onts' - Aunt Dagmar & Aunt Heddy (actually giant ants in disguise) I give a slight Danish accent; which becomes more pronounced in Dagmar as she becomes exasperated with Heddy, who's a little on the dim side.Dagmar = Jane Lynch? Hortense Jolly could be Megan Mullaly. The WereWolf pack could be James Gandolfini, Joe Mantegna, Steve Buscemi - not necessarily doing a 'Soprano's'/Goodfellas' thing, just being funny not-so- tough guys.Dad could be Paul Rudd, etc., etc., FUNNY! With subtle humor & turns of phrase that kids will get, and delight in.

Gets Reluctant Readers Excited

My students love this book. It's accessible to both boys and girls who want a fun read. Not scary. Lots of silly and adventure.

Wonderfully imaginative!

How could you not love a story with twins named Shluffmuffin being adopted by giant ants who collect snot and stinky sneakers (the aunts, not the twins) and live in a forest inhabited by ten foot, glow-in-the-dark slugs who eat orphan feet?

On a more pragmatic note, I am a teacher and ex-librarian, and I love this set of books. They are well written for the 3rd through 5th grade set and keep you guessing as to where the story will go next.

excellent

used to replace in a library. excellent price

Five Stars

Great adventure story! My sever year old loved it :)
