From the author of Darkling, Poor Badger, The Boy Who Wasn't There, and The Wild Boy and Queen Moon comes this first story of a stunning new series about horses.

'Rowan made no effort to get up - it was awful. Swallow... her daring Swallow! Nearly killing her....'

From the moment she first sees him, Rowan is head over heels in love with Swallow, the spirited bay pony who enters her life with a bang - literally. But wild Swallow is hard to handle, and Rowan suffers falls, bruises and plenty of teasing as she struggles to master him.

Then a suspicious-looking man turns up, claiming that Swallow is his pony. After all her hard work and effort, will Rowan now lose her beloved pony?

Members Reviews:

I love this book

This book is one of the best horse books I have read. It tells the tale of Rowan Watkins, from when she finds Swallow, her struggles to keep him, learning to ride, and trying to ride him. But Swallow has a mind of his own, and is not easily tamed, and as Rowan gets bucked off over and over again, she despairs of ever being able to ride her dream pony. I loved this book, and have read it over and over again.

Publisher's Summary:

Billy was a champion soccer star, playing for Chelsea in the 1930s. But that was before war broke out! Billy the Kid is told through the voice of an 80-year-old man, who looks back on his life as Chelsea's champion striker until the outbreak of war in 1939 and on through his subsequent life. Billy joins Chelsea as a football apprentice and rises through the reserves to become a real champion.

His passion for football sees him through the war years - even as a prisoner of war, he organises a friendly match against the Italians - but, having been injured by a mine, he cannot play for Chelsea on his return to England. Billy turns to vagrancy and alcohol, and for years he wanders up and down the country. He re-settles in London in a derelict house and is befriended by a family who move him to a shed in their garden. He, in turn, helps their son with his football match and he in his turn becomes a Chelsea player. Billy becomes a Chelsea Pensioner and his 80th birthday is celebrated when Chelsea play at home.

This is a novel for both children and adults, which deals with some difficult issues. Michael Morpurgo's storytelling is superb, and this will be a welcome follow up to the previous Morpurgo/Foreman collaboration, Farm Boy.

Members Reviews:

Great short story.

Good for middle school children. May miss some of the world war 2 references, but can still follow the story. This is a story about loss and redemption. It is a Marpurgo book. Attenborough is an excellent narrator. May take American listeners a few minutes to adjust their ear to catch the accent. Highly recommended.

my boy loved it!

my 9yr old listened to this daily and loved listening to it on the way to school. So much, in fact that he did not want to get out of the car and go to his class!

Great book loved it.

I like it a lot very sad story so be ready but all of it is good.

Fantastic read

I loved it especially the part when sang happy birthday to him on the pitch. Great book for football lovers!

Publisher's Summary:

Kyna has a deep-seated (and well-earned) fear of the water. So when her adoptive parents announce that they have rented a summer house on Lake Champlain, she begs to be left behind for the summer. Alas, this is not possible. Yet even at the lake, Kyna does her best to avoid the water, exploring instead the forests and hillsides, documenting them with her camera. But when her new friend, Tylo, draws her into his quest for strange water creatures, Kyna finds herself pulled into unexpected discoveries not only about the lake, but about her own unique heritage.

A novel that pulses with a passion for nature and the natural world, Water Steps is rich with love and loss, longing and renewal, a bit of mystery and a touch of fantasy. With an extraordinary gift for dialect, author A. LaFaye brings its rhythms to vivid life in this haunting reading.

Critic Reviews:

"Realistic fiction takes an unexpected turn into fantasy in LaFaye's lyrical exploration of a girl coping with her fear of water....The final, magical revelation about Mem and Pep's identity will come as much of a surprise to readers as it does to Kyna." (Publisher's Weekly)

"The language is almost poetic with its use of sensory detail, alliteration, and precise word choices. A satisfying story of overcoming one's fears and discovering secrets." (School Library Journal)

Publisher's Summary:

The third Jocelyn Osgood adventure. While stopping over in Norway, Joan Twilight buys a rusty old hammer for her friend Jocelyn Osgood (the well-known flight attendant with Valkyrian Airways and 'good friend' of Cairo Jim), whom she knows has a minor lust for antiquities. With advice from Cairo Jim, Jocelyn and Joan seek out Professor Kurt Snerdforst, a local expert on things now forgotten. Jocelyn decides to return the hammer to an isolated location in Norway's cold, northern regions. Slowly, however, the shadows of an ancient world begin to creep across their journey, as the hammer fragment proves to be much more than just a worthless, dusty relic.

Editorial Reviews:

As part of the popular Jocelyn Osgood series, Geoffrey McSkimming presents this adventure of the ancient hammer relic that turns out to be much more than just that. All of the titles in McSkimming's imaginative children's series follow archaeologist Cairo Jim and his friend Jocelyn Osgood, a flight attendant and sometimes pilot, on their explorations. The author himself performs this audiobook. He brings an energy that only an author can to his own words. While having fun with his character voices, McSkimming transports young listeners to his fanciful world of excitement.

Title: Cairo Jim and the Alabastron of Forgotten Gods

Author: Geoffrey McSkimming

Narrator: Geoffrey McSkimming

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-24-10

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The most flabbergasting adventure yet! A seemingly ordinary vase is stolen from the Greek Archaeological Museum by a figure swathed in mystery. The vase an ancient alabastron holds a potent force that must NOT be allowed to escape! It is up to Cairo Jim (that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet) and friends to track down the thief, before the alabastron's mysterious contents are unleashed upon the modern world.

Editorial Reviews:

Geoffrey McSkimming is at it again with this addition to the Cairo Jim series. The beloved archeologist Cairo Jim must find a stolen ancient vase before it unleashes a powerful force on the world. McSkimming both writes and narrates this series, and his performance brings the excitement that only an author can give to his own work. With his excellent annunciation, McSkimming's Australian accent is no problem for American audiences. He particularly shines when performing his characters' voices; they will surely make young audiences giggle.

Critic Reviews:

Geoffrey McSkimming reads his own work. His voice is modulated and paced. It has a depth that gives the story an authority and provides presence and depth. He knows his material intimately. We can feel the heat of the Athens in his reading, smell the city. He draws his characters finely, using his voice to sharpen each in our minds. We are carried into the body of the story, as Cairo Jim and his friends set out to find the stolen alabastron. (Reading Time)

Narrator: Alison Bell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-19-10

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

With interesting characters and plenty of action this audiobook has wide appeal it's not just for horse-lovers.

Shelby is convinced her reliable but ugly pony, Blue, is holding her back at Pony Club. If only she had a beautiful horse, everyone would see what a great rider she is. But how can Shelby buy a new horse when her parents cant even afford to pay her Pony Club fees? When she sees an ad for an eye-catching brown pony for sale or swap, Shelby thinks shes found the answer to all her problems. Maxshine Celtic Copper otherwise known as Brat seems perfect. But swapping a pony whos your best friend for a highly strung horse whose beautiful brown coat washes out with shampoo turns out to be a really bad idea. The race is on for Shelby and her friends to catch a horse thief, find her beloved Blue, and return Brat to her rightful owners.

Editorial Reviews:

A charming listen with a valuable lesson: Don't judge a book by its cover, or a horse by its coat. Shelby is convinced that her homely pony Blue is keeping her from being recognized at the Pony Club, but her parents barely have money for the fees, let alone a new pony. When Shelby manages to swap Blue for a horse with a gorgeous brown coat, everything seems to be looking up. Then the color on the horse's coat comes out with shampoo, and Shelby realizes she has a stolen animal. Will she be able to catch the thief in time to rescue Blue? Girls who love horses will be smitten with this story, and Alison Bell's heartfelt performance conveys the passion perfectly.
