Good book

This book was interesting, because it talked about McCarthyism and communist spies. It was a good combination of history and fiction. It is about a mystery-loving girl named Hazel who lives at a cemetery in Maple Hill. There is a new kid at her school, and Hazel can't seem to figure him out. The whole town talks about him and how "fragile" he is. Everyone seems to know his story except Hazel. But she has another mystery on her hands. Hazel believes that a grave-digger working at her parents' cemetery is a Russian spy. I liked the excitement of Hazel trying to find proof that the grave-digger is a spy. The story also talks about her frustration at being underestimated by adults in town. Those parts occasionally dragged on. Overall, though, I liked the book. - Louisa (age 10)

A great novel of young adolescence

The book blends accurate history with quirky adolescent psychology to keep a reader entertained. The main character would be annoying in real life, but was kind of charming in the story.

Huh

It's a good book but there's are lots of stuff that wasn't for the mystery( sorry can't describe) but they didn't catch the man, why? Anyway okay book.

very good book I loved it

The best book ever so could you make another one please I would love that thank you very very much

great story

A terrific mystery!

This is Val Muller's second book about Corgis Zeph and Sapphie and their Humans, Adam and Courtney Hollinger, and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first. Val has two Corgis of her own, Leia and Yoda, so she knows their habits, both cute and mischievous (the rolling over! The ice-crunching!). Though it's technically a children's chapter book, I looked forward to reading it every night. The characters (human and canine) are memorable, the plot moves along and I especially liked the author's portrayal of family life and sibling disagreements. The characters are distinctive enough that I didn't have to keep paging back to figure out which one was which, as I do in many books for grown-ups. I also appreciated the author's excellent spelling and grammar. I can see my middle-school nephew enjoying this wholesome book, as well as anyone who shares his or her home with a Corgi. I'm eagerly awaiting for the third book in the series!

Publisher's Summary:

Kaboom Academy, a new and alternative school for middle-grade kids, is chock-full of innovative methods of instruction and discipline that are soon to be tested on the middle-school students of Horsemouth, New Hampshire. Now, meet the class of Journalism 1A. These group of nine misfits are the staff of The Daily Dynamite, Kaboom Academy's quarterly newspaper. As their school year kicks off with a boom, literally, the students of Journalism 1A are about to discover what really goes on at Kaboom Academy and who's really in charge of this groundbreaking school for boys and girls who've fallen out of love with learning.

Members Reviews:

Highly Imaginative

A far fetched tale of a type of school many kids and adults may wish were real, Middle School tells the story of how traditional educational methods are ineffective and how reinventing the processes in an unreal, unusual way may in fact prove most effective. This concept could be fun and enjoyable, if presented in a different way. My 11 year old daughter did not find it engaging at all, and after reading the book, I understand why. I think it would be alright as a read alone for a 13-15 year old, or read aloud to a younger child, perhaps 9-12, given the writing style and the messages engrained in the story. They are not subtle and at times, the author stands on a soapbox to emphasize key points about the poor educational system in the US, how kids are turned off of learning, etc. I felt like I was getting a lecture, not reading a quirky story.

I really don't see this as a children's book; instead, it is one adults might appreciate, especially those who are also frustrated with the school systems in their towns, or even across the country. The kids in the story are mostly likable and relatable, and their obstacles to success are introduced and overcome in a realistic manner. What is far fetched is the premise of the story, that an individual could open a school, have no credentials, and yet have about 50 families go right along with the idea and send their students to that location. I had a very hard time getting past that key point, which is made in the first chapter. One really has to be comfortable suspending beliefs to read and embrace the book.

It is an okay library book or perhaps one that a class could read together and discuss. There are quite a few moral and ethical dilemmas that take place, which give the reader a pause to think. Kids are given the majority of the power to make decisions and many of the lessons are not academic. There is merit in the idea of the book; the delivery is just a bit off.

Middle-School Cool

Middle-School Cool is a really fun book for middle grade readers. It's a bit mad, a little kooky, but always entertaining. In fact, it's just what kids need to come home to after a hard day at school - a book about the coolest school EVER!

Middle-School Cool follows the antics of nine students in the Journalism 1A class, hand picked to attend the brand new Kaboom Academy. It's a school designed for misfits and people who don't fit in at the neighbouring Horsemouth High, and it uses some very unusual teaching methods. These methods are often in the form of inventions and experiments, such as live Dodgeballs and hypnotism.

Life, with love, does come full circle!

Thought provoking story...this makes one examine the meaning of "loving" someone or something, the power of love and belief, dreams and their meaning, the Native American traditions and their beauty, teenage isolation/connection. This was a "quick read" but not something one would really want to rush through. I intend to use this book with my students in the upcoming academic year and I'm pretty excited about the possibilities...especially because my school is located near the Seneca Army Depot where the largest herd of white deer in the world lives. I highly recommend this book!

Good purchase

A really wonderful story. It has a timeless, mythological aura about it. A classic. The physical book was all that I expected.

The night the white deer died

Gary Paulsen is a wonderful author. He never disappoints me. I feel sure his books will be a hit with my grandchildren. I enjoyed being a librarian at a grade school and could share the Paulsen books with the children. A fun side note is that I could bring them home to my 90+ year old father and he would get a big kick out of them too. Lots of fun adventure and clean too!

Awesome!

This book was....... MIND BLOWING! I would highly recommend it to young readers. It is a very fast and easy read

A wonderful book...

Although the book was written for youth and teens, it will not disappoint the adult. It is a wonderful story of friendship and compassion.

Title: Bright Shadow

Publisher's Summary:

Young listeners will be enchanted by this wondrous tale of magic and wizardry written by Newbery Medal-winning author Avi. When Morwenna is given the gift of wizardry, she must guard the five wishes she has been granted. She must protect herself and the peasants from vengeful King Ruthvin. Virginia Leishmans spellbinding voice coupled with Avis mesmerizing story make this magical audiobook a must-listen.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful story about the importance of friendship

This is one follow up to Harry Potter that doesn't seem dry and stupid. It beautifly illistrates how lies and confusion can destroy a friendship, and has a suprise ending that leaves you thinking. Avi has come through again with a book that you just can't put down. It has a good moral, and is all in all a great read. I would reccomend this book to adults and children alike.

Bright Shadow

How would you feel if you were a wizard, yet you had to keep it a secret from your best friend? Bright Shadow tells the story of a young girl named Morwenna who receives a gift filled with wishes, but cannot use them on herself. At first she is scared to hold the wishes because it is a big responsibility. Ruthvin, the nasty king, wants to catch Morwenna and keep her in captivity so he can have the wishes she protects. Morwenna has many challenges in this book because she can not use her wish to save her friend.

Bright Shadow is an extremely wonderful book. It is exciting and surprising. Things happen at unexpected times. For example, in the first chapter everything is calm. Characters are described, but there is little action or emotion. Then in the second chapter you can feel a strong hate that King Ruthvin puts out by the way he speaks to Pindel. "You are in the presence of the King," Ruthvin snapped at the old man. "My law requires you to bow when I pass by."

One of the major themes in Bright Shadow is listening to your inner voice. Morwenna gets herself in a lot of trouble because she does not listen to her inner voice. She keeps hearing "keep them safe," meaning not to tell Swen about the wishes, but she doesn't pay attention to this. When she tells Swen, the voice screams. Because she tells Swen about the wishes, he dies and Morwenna feels responsible.

Avi has a talent for telling the reader what the characters are feeling. She uses wonderful language to describe the characters. Here is how she describes King Ruthvin. "King Ruthvin was a small, lean man, hard and tight as if put together with wire bits. In one hand he held a short whip. In the other a just delivered message." Her language creates vivid pictures in the reader's mind.

I recommend this book to people of all ages who like fantasy. If you read Bright Shadow you will jump out of your seat because it is so thrilling and dramatic.

(...)

A good book, but a very strange ending

This was definitely the kind of book that makes the reader think. In it, the main character, Morwenna, accidently inherits the last five wishes left over from the creation of the world. At first she is overjoyed, untill she realizes the rules: she can't wish for anything for herself, she can't tell anyone about the wishes, and if she uses up all five wishes she'll die. This gets especially complicated when she has to use up several of the wishes to save her friends. The ending came as a complete surprise, and I have to admit, it was more than a little disturbing.

Great book for a reluctant reader and her mother!

I bought this book for my 10 year old daughter, a reluctant reader, who had to read historical fiction for a school assignment. For the most part, we read it out loud to each other. My daughter loved the story. She was shocked to learn of the suffering and cruelty during the potato famine. The author really brought the history alive. My daughter now wants to read more books in the My Story series. I highly recommend this book for all children who can handle suffering and pain in books. (By the way, I LOVED the book, too!)

One of the best

This was one of the best books I could have bought as a gift. Firstly, it was laminated, so, it was in GREAT CONDITION! Especially, for how much it was and Secondly, it arrived much earlier than estimated! Thank you! Trusted Seller, For SURE!

Spoilers ahead

This is such a heartwarming story of Phyllis and her family's struggle against hunger. It was a very enlightening experience for me, because I wasn't aware of the potato disease that hit Ireland back in 1845, so to read a firsthand account of the suffering this caused many families was distressing and heart-wrenching.

Phyllis is such a strong girl, and her journey was one of strength and resilience. Her loyalty and her love for her family is unequivocal. She will go above and beyond to make sure they survive. As she watches other families starve and leave their homes and die, she goes out and looks for work as a maid servant to help her parents put food on the table. However, as her rebellious, revolutionary brother leaves them to fight for Ireland's rights and freedom, her family is questioned and watched for any signs of betrayal.

Phyllis has the biggest heart out there, her love for her dog, and her refusal to let the dog starve brought tears to my eyes. She brings out the best in people because of her big heart, and this includes a young gentleman, who Phyllis has been secretly infatuated with. Their seemingly impossible love story was such a sweet contrast to the suffering taking place around her. And yet when her mother's health deteriorates, she makes the decision to go looking for her brother, whom her mother keeps asking about and is separated from her family, her love, and her work.

However, she returns defeated after a long search, and finds that her family was forced to leave, but more than that...her mother has passed away. Thus begins a different journey, one in which she goes looking for her family. Heartbreak after heartbreak, and yet Phyllis never gives up.

Beautifully tragic story.

Possibly meant for a 10 year old

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book might be better suited for someone looking for a light "read" not really wanting to get pulled into the book.

A Fantastic Children's Book!

I received a complimentary copy of this story in audio format from the author.

This is the first book in the Dragon Keeper series for young readers aged 8 to 15. I loved it!

Merlin is a young boy with an important mission - to become a Dragon Keeper and learn to be a wizard. He has the important responsibility to train a new born Dragon called Dracon. I liked this character a lot. He is eager, inquisitive and determined to succeed.

This is a fantastic fantasy novel for children. There is adventure with Dragons and Elfins, but there is also danger in the form of Lady Oer. She is a very powerful witch, but she wants more power and is determined to get it from the dragons. She is not a very nice lady, and has become very adept at using the black arts to get what she wants.

This story is narrated by Aaron Holbrook. I found I liked the different voices used to dramatize the different characters, but felt that the narrator read the story too quickly, and this gave it a rushed feeling. I had a hard time keeping up, and felt like shouting at the narrator to take a breath! It is hard reading out loud and keeping the story exciting enough for young readers (I should know, as I have read lots of stories to my nephews over the years). However, rushing through it without taking a pause for a breath, or even for an effect, doesn't give the listener a chance to absorb the story properly. The story itself was exciting, so I would consider reading this in print format at my own pace. Luckily, the author very kindly gave me a print copy to read at my leisure too, and I will do so when I have a chance to. The ending of the story has a surprising twist that left me wanting to know what's going to happen next!

Bruce Goldwell has written a fabulous fantasy with some amazing characters, including my all time favourites - dragons. He has a vivid imagination and his writing style (narrator not withstanding) was fast paced enough to keep me engaged. I am looking forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy.

I highly recommend this book to both boys and girls between the ages of 5 to 7 as a bedtime story, 8 to 15 year old's (depending on reading ability) on their own and adults who love reading younger adult novels or fantasy stories with dragons. - Lynn Worton
