Cute and funny book
So many of the kids books seem repetitive today, so this was one cute and refreshing and unique. My kids love anything with outer space. They found the book easy to read and well-written. It had humor in it. The illustrations were really cute and added to the book as a whole. They read it very quickly. I would recommen...

Great travel guide
I was very happy with this travel guide of Paris. It was packed with information about the different sites, attractions and restaurants of Paris. It has a lot of information and is not just limited to the most popular places. That's one thing I've always liked about the Lonely Planet series... they seem to find some le...

Good book with some older themes
My daughter and I enjoyed this book. It captures well the difficulty of going to middle school and having friends leave you and needing to make new friends. I know this is something many kids feel it also has a mystery in it, of course, which is interesting and fun for the kids to read. It does deal with some older kid...

Sweet book but does have heartache
This is a sweet (pun intended) book about a little girl that has a bit of magic and what it can and can't do. It is sweet the way she tries to help but teaches you that things don't always go according to plan. The only thing is it does have a dramatic turn when the grandmother dies so you have to make sure your child ...

I really enjoyed this book, and so did my daughter. It has a cute story that is not the same. I really liked that it showed such a strong sibling bond.

For those who like to follow the royals, this is a somewhat similar story of the prince marrying a commoner, only in this version the princess to be is an American.

I've read a variety of the Thunder Point novels and this is a decent addition. The heroine is a former ice skating champion who has made a new life for herself in a small town as a florist.

In America, we take so much for granted. I know my kids can't even imagine what it's like to not have the freedoms that they have. Of course, sadly so many people around the world do not share the same freedoms. i really liked this book as it discussed these. There are many varied quotes about all different types of fr...

I thought this was a very cute book with a good lesson. The cover is gorgeous. It is about a spoiled and uppity cat who learns to make a friend. At the beginning the main cat isn't very nice, but then you like that she learns to be nicer as she takes the new animal under her wing to teach "glamour." It is a ver...

Doesn't end
I have a big pet peeve against books that end in cliffhangers. If I invest in reading a book, it needs to have a good ending, which this doesn't. I was not impressed by the character either. She just seemed to make silly decisions. Other books in this series have been great, but I was sorely disappointed in this book.

Decent writing but not for me
I tried but I just couldn't get into this book. It just didn't hook me. The writing was competent, but I just felt like she went into so many random details that I had trouble keeping focused on the main plot. I had trouble relating to the characters and without that it's hard to really get into it. This was the first ...

Sweet book (literally)
I am a fan of Teri Wilson, and I really enjoyed her other book. This one was very enjoyable as well. It is a modern storytelling of Romeo and Juliet, with two characters from different families with competing businesses. The characters are strong, and the chemistry is undeniable. It was light and fun, with no stress. I...

Excellent comic with a multicultural focus
I was very pleased with this comic book. First, I think it's wonderful to have a Chinese superhero, especially for children and adults of that ancestry. It can be difficult in America looking at all the superheroes that seem to be very similar diversity-wise so to have one that matches. The graphics were wonderful, and...

Great book with nice lessons
I read this book with my eight year old daughter and liked it a lot. It is about a young girl who is physically small and a little sickly (nothing major - she just coughs) but who is very nice and helpful and smart and good at remembering. She does a lot for her elderly neighbor. When people talk about how she is not s...

Cute book
I read through this book with my daughter who is eight. She is in the age range, but I think this book might be geared a little more towards an older child because she felt like she was having trouble getting it (not with the actually reading). I felt parts of it went over her head, too, and she reads a lot of age appr...

Wow... this book is just gorgeous. This book is just full of information about dinosaurs and the different periods in which they lived.

I enjoyed this easy to read contemporary romance. It's about two people who broke up years ago when their lives took different directions.

I just felt like this book, along with the others in the series, present poor lessons and scary subjects to a 6-8 year old.
