Great book!

I read a lot, and am a fairly picky reader. A book has to grab and keep my attention, have an interesting plot, and not repeat the same thing over and over. Playground Treasures was a surprisingly great read! The characters were relateable, likeable (unlikeable for some), and I was deeply invested in their outcome. There's a slight twist at the end that I didn't even see coming, and I'm normally really good at guessing the twists. I could barely put it down! If I had read this book as a pre or early teen, I'm sure it would have been one of my favorites. Overall, it was an enjoyable, heartwarming read!

This is a great book! My 9 year old has read it ...

This is a great book! My 9 year old has read it several times already. I think it spoke to her. She could picture the school setting and the swings. She read it in 2 days. She had a hard time putting it down.

I have also read it. It is very descriptive and reminded me of my school days running around the playground. I will be reading it again. I have been recommending it to others.

Great read

I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. I really fell for the characters. The description of the playground made you feel as if you were there with them. Great job Jenny!

Five Stars

I enjoyed it a lot. I really recommend it!!

Title: History for Kids: A Biography of Harry Houdini for Children

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Jim D. Johnston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-17

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

"I knew, as everyone knows, that the easiest way to attract a crowd is to let it be known that at a given time and a given place some one is going to attempt something that in the event of failure will mean sudden death. That's what attracts us to the man who paints the flagstaff on the tall building, or to the 'human fly' who scales the walls of the same building." (Harry Houdini)

There is no shortage of professional magicians and stuntmen in the 21st century, but all of them owe something to the most famous stuntman of them all, Harry Houdini. A century after he began to thrill audiences with his patented escape acts, Houdini's name remains synonymous with seemingly miraculous escapes and getaways, and his name is instantly recognizable even among those who have never seen pictures of his stunts.

Houdini wasn't the first of his kind, but after he got his start as "Harry 'Handcuff' Houdini" during a traveling European tour, he added the kind of showmanship and flair that have become standard fare among performers of his kind. His initial repertoire of escaping handcuffs eventually gave way to far grander feats, involving skyscrapers, straitjackets, and being buried alive.

With fame came skepticism, and Houdini was frequently accused of being a fake and fixing his escapes. Some even believed he was helped by supernatural forces. Skeptics were bolstered by the fact that, like his escapes and magic tricks, Houdini remained a man shrouded in mystery, constantly changing his own life story to reinvent himself as he thought fit. Though Houdini insisted his stunts were real and constantly went after those who besmirched him or his profession, his success couldn't help but breed both legends and criticism simultaneously.

By the end of his life, Houdini had transformed himself into a national celebrity, and he tried to dabble in acting and other pursuits, but he was destined to be forever associated with the profession he helped pioneer. And fittingly, mystery and controversy surrounded the exact cause of his death, as it had so much of his life.

History for Kids: A Biography of Harry Houdini for Children profiles the life, legends, stunts, and controversies of history's most famous escape artist. Your kids will learn about Houdini like never before.

Title: Dragon Redeemer

Subtitle: World of Aluvia, Book 3

Author: Amy Bearce

Narrator: Rebecca Gibel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Four years have passed since a fairy swarm released the voice of prophecy in Nell Brennan. In that painful moment, a skilled warrior became a reluctant leader and defender of Aluvia's magic. Now a new enemy threatens their still-fragile lands, one Nell feels powerless to stop even with help from the voice within her.

A mysterious dark alchemist from the Ice-Locked Lands is rising to power on the strength of his sword arm and an ice-breathing dragon obedient to his command. He promises unlimited magic to his followers and death to those who defy him. If he takes over the ports, his corrupt elixirs will disrupt the delicate balance of peace between Aluvia's people and all magical creatures.

The voice of prophecy sends Nell and her friends to their enemy's treacherous domain to find a sword of legend. Only the sword's magic can prevent a return to a world of dying fairies and caged merfolk. But Nell's up against the toughest foe she's ever faced.

In order to defeat him, she must master the unimaginable power of the sword-and the unwanted magic inside herself.

Best book in the series

A satisfying conclusion to the Aluvia trilogy, told from the point of view of the strongest character in the series. Nell is introduced in the first book, Fairy Keeper, in something of an antagonistic role. She serves as a foil for Sierra, with a more aggressive personal style, and a background that makes her a less sympathetic character. Dragon Redeemer explores that background, as well as resolving a thread from Fairy Keeper that transformed Nell in ways she did not understand.

I donât want to reveal the details of the story, but suffice to say this is where Nell, a character who began as anything but heroic, finds her heroism. I am sucker for redemption stories, which is part of why I found this to be the most powerful of the three books. This is a worthy conclusion to a great series, from an author who is clearly growing with each book she writes. I very much look forward to her next project.

Long Live Aluvia!

Loved this third book in the series, possibly the most of all of them, possibly because Nell's always been my fave. Nell 4 EVA!

Anyway, as the book opens, Nell's struggling with the role she's found herself in the last few years--acting as an unwilling mouthpiece for a mysterious voice advocating balance among all creatures and proper stewardship of the world (usually at the least opportune of times), and learning herb lore and medicine from her boyfriend Corbin's mother--as a former enforcer, she finds peace and quiet somewhat binding, and realizes that she's actually missing her days of wielding her sword.

And then a new danger comes along, threatening to overturn everything she and her friends have been working so hard towards, and her sword might just get some action once again! Only, naturally, that comes with another whole set of problems, and Nell has to figure out who she really is and what she really wants before it destroys her and everything she cares for as well.

I love the way Nell interacts with Corbin and Sierra especially, her companions from the first book, and that they have real conflicts with and real respect for one another. I love that they don't always agree with each other, and that they call each other out when needed, and have painful, awkward, real discussions about things.

It was not my favorite book

I didnt really like this book because I felt like the author didnt really have anything to write about at the end. She wrote about plants, plant kings and a plant kingdom. She was creative with her writing which I did like, but I didnt really like the end of the book. When I first chose this book, I thought it was going to be spooky and mysterious, which it was at first. I think that the author took a long time to get to the point of this book. She was creative by the way she talked about a girl trapped in a wall in the Witheringe house because of the plant kingdom that duped her to come into the kingdom.

Some parts that I enjoyed where in the beginning of the book, when the author wrote about trying to capture a ghost in the Witheringe house, which is a mansion that has too many rooms to explore. This book also reminded me of The Secret Garden. The author wrote about a dead garden that no one ever visited because of the little girl that went missing after she went into the garden. The garden was dead and had no visitors. At the end of the book it was also very confusing. The book was confusing because you never knew if the plant kingdom was real or all fake. Overall I would give this book a 2.5 out of 5 stars

Every Elementary School Library Should Include This Book

My 7-year-old granddaughter enjoyed this. It does a nice job of highlighting this incredible artist's life with correct information. The suggested reading level is accurate as there are enough higher level vocabulary words that may need additional explanation. Definitely recommend this book.

Three Stars

Good gift

Micheal Jackson Ultimate Music Legend

It was my first order with Amazon, I really like the service, the price and I will definitely order from Amazon.

crappy book

i wonder why my previous review was removed where i damned this horriffic book and its low res pictures accompannied by it being a lousy no more than maybe 20 pages of, you guessed it "seen it" pictures nabbed from the cheapest sources availible. yes the other review describes a collectors item of sorts...i know, thats why i fell for it and bought the crap, look buy it if you really need to but you won't leaf trough it more than your first dissapointing time.

This book will not only become a collectible, it is an excellent biography about Michael Jackson for the younger set!

Most high school talent shows can be a little blah at best. Someone may get up and dance a bit, play a musical instrument or sing a bit off key. The talent show held in 1966 at Roosevelt High School in Gary, Indiana was a bit different and on one level a history maker. A young boy named Michael got up on stage with his brothers and sang. He later said that "For him, singing was as natural as breathing." His parents Joseph and Katherine were musical so it only made sense that their children would inherit that love and some ability, but this boy had something special. It was obvious when he began to sing and moved to the beat that Michael Jackson was a child prodigy with enormous potential. Needless to say, the Jackson boys won that talent show.

You will read about the Jackson family and how they broke into the music world. Michael later claimed that his father was an abusive task master, but you will also read about how he worked to purchase instruments for them. Gladys Knight saw something in the group and claimed "she'd put in a good word for them with Berry Gordy, Jr., the owner of Motown Records." You'll learn how Michael learned to dance by watching the pros, how they got to perform at the Apollo Theater, how they got a record contract, you'll read about their appearances on the Ed Sullivan show, how thrilled Michael was to be the star of his own cartoon show, you'll learn about the Neverland Ranch, the scandal, his generosity, his children and much more!

This book will not only become a collectible, it is an excellent biography about Michael Jackson for the younger set.
