James and the Giant Peach (Spanish Edition) Review

James and the Giant Peach (Spanish Edition) Overview

James has lived with his two beastly aunts ever since the day his parents were eaten up outside London Zoo by an angry escaped rhinoceros. Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker are really horrible people. They make James do all the hard work and make his life a misery. Then something very peculiar happens.

James and the Giant Peach (Spanish Edition) Specifications

When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes "the saddest and loneliest boy you could find." Then one day, a wizened old man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts' withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in motion. From the old tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm, Miss Spider, and Centipede--each with his or her own song to sing. Roald Dahl's rich imagery and amusing characters ensure that parents will not tire of reading this classic aloud, which they will no doubt be called to do over and over again! With the addition of witty black and white pencil drawings by Lane Smith (of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs fame), upon which the animation for the Disney movie was based, this classic, now in paperback, is bursting with renewed vigor. We'll just come right out and say it: James and the Giant Peach is one of the finest children's books ever written. (Ages 9 to 12)

Check Out Angela's Ashes (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) for $21.43

Angela's Ashes (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Review

Angela's Ashes (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Overview

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. The author recounts his childhood in Depression-era Brooklyn as the child of Irish immigrants who decide to return to poverty in Ireland when his infant sister dies.

Angela's Ashes (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Specifications

Frank McCourt's haunting memoir takes on new life when the author reads from his Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Recounting scenes from his childhood in New York City and Limerick, Ireland, McCourt paints a brutal yet poignant picture of his early days when there was rarely enough food on the table, and boots and coats were a luxury. In a melodic Irish voice that often lends a gentle humor to the unimaginable, the author remembers his wayward yet adoring father who was forever drinking what little money the family had. He recounts the painful loss of his siblings to avoidable sickness and hunger, a proud mother reduced to begging for charity, and the stench of the sewage-strewn streets that ran outside the front door. As McCourt approaches adolescence, he discovers the shame of poverty and the beauty of Shakespeare, the mystery of sex and the unforgiving power of the Irish Catholic Church. This powerful and heart-rending testament to the resiliency and determination of youth is populated with memorable characters and moments, and McCourt's interpretation of the narrative and the voices it contains will leave listeners laughing through their tears.

Warriors Super Edition: SkyClan's Destiny Overview

The return of a long lost Clan . . .

Many moons ago, five warrior Clans shared the forest in peace. But as Twolegs encroached on the cats' territories, the warriors of SkyClan were forced to abandon their home and try to forge a new life far away. Eventually, the Clan disbanded—forgotten by all until Firestar was sent on a quest to reunite its descendants and return SkyClan to its former glory.

Now, with Leafstar in place as leader, SkyClan is thriving. Leafstar is desperate to believe that her Clan will survive where the ancient SkyClan cats failed. But threats continue to plague the Clan, and as dissent grows from within, Leafstar must face the one question she dreads: Is SkyClan meant to survive?

Check Out The Virgin Suicides (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) for $25.75

The Virgin Suicides (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Review

For days, this book stuck with me.

About the Lisbon girls; sisters... who all, evidently, commit suicide at different times and in different ways. Different, like they are from each other. Why they did it, the readers wouldnt know until quite in the end. The story is narrated by one of the boys who grew up with the Lisbon girls, who adored them and have been captured by them. Obviously, or else they wouldn't be watching them and talking about them long after their lives ended.

This book stuck with me long after I finished reading it that I went out of my way to actually rent the movie version of this on dvd. Yup, I wanted to see how it would compare to the original novel. I have to say, I liked the movie and thought the actors played the characters very well. But there was just something about this book....

It was a combination of both dark and light (as in weight, not brightness), appealing yet appalling all at the same time. Maybe it's the author's writing. Easy to understand, easy to get, easy to grasp, easy to relate to.

I have to admit in some few pages I was a little bored with it, but somehow by the end of every chapter, there's always something new that brings me back to reading. So I keep reading.. and when I finished, I'll say, it was something else.

Readdd it. Wattcch it. Whatever you want to do. Just know the story and know the Lisbon girls and know the boys that were obsessed with them, and hopefully you'll see what I mean.

interesting but simple at times - psychmaster -
this book was alright. The premise was a bit simple but Eugenide's ability to describe people emotions and settings are apparent through this novel. The Narration in this book at times was a bit hard to follow and i found that I really enjoyed his book Middlesex so much better. There was much more of a story in that book. As a masters student of psychology and employed in the psych field i thought his insight into suicide and mental illness was lacking but did show how people form their own opinions and form such interest in things unknown. a great sociological teaching tool for reactions to deviant behaviors.



the virgin suicides - BeckieB -
Egenides out does himself. This novel is supurb, and I recomend it to anyone who LOVES a great piece of writting.






Haunts like a Dream. - C. Park -
i consider this one of the best american novels written in the last half of the twentieth century. lofty, i know, but there is something about its weather that calls me back, over and over again. the author is the rare writer who can make a girl blowdrying her hair by a window sound like something out of a dream. whole lines of this novel constantly assail me. such as- "audrey hepburn- whom women were obsessed with and men never think about". the strange, midafternoon sleepiness is like waking up in gentle nightmare and its 1975 and peter frampton is on the radio, but everyone is dead. you can never hear gilbert o. sullivan the same again. i mean, i always thought bread (the band) was creepy, and its inclusion as almost a plot device is like the author has a hardwire into my brain. if you were a child in any part of the seventies, this is going to strike an unusual, creepy chord with you. the movie i didn't care for all that much, but kirsten dunst as lux, well, nobody else could have done it. at the same time, its a sweet creepiness, and its the kind that is the hardest to find. no other book takes me to the place this one does. if you don't read it, you should eat it.

Cracking the ACT, 2010 Edition (College Test Preparation) Review

As an ACT Tutor, I have found this book most helpful to use with my students. From math strategies to punctuation technicalities, this book covers it all. The Science section is extensive, and very helpful as it is bursting with strategies. The practice tests provided in the book are of moderate difficulty. I recommend this resource to any student who wants to be prepared for all 5 test sections and get inside the heads, per say, of the test writers. As the ACT is very time pressured, learning Princeton Review's strategies would be very beneficial to students. I also recommend this resource to any tutor or parent that is looking to help a student prep for the ACT exam. ACT prep can be rather arduous, but is always rewarding--good luck!

Good starting book, but there are some errors - Richard Corn -
I am a private math tutor and author of Math Study Guide for the SAT®, ACT®, and SAT® Subject Tests - 2010 Edition (Math Study Guide for the SAT, ACT, & SAT Subject Tests). I sometimes use the practice tests in this book as a warm up for students and then follow it with the official practice tests found in The Real ACT Prep Guide: The Only Guide to Include 3Real ACT Tests. However I found two errors in the math tests in this book:

pg 445 problem 39. The answer is C, not H.

pg 453 problem 58. The answer is -12/5. This does not match any of the answer choices.



Great Book - J. L. Wendt - Fort Benton, Montana
I love the book. It makes studying for the ACT interesting. I enjoy the inserted humor.



ACT Book - CollegeBound - Texas, USA
I like the beginning section of the book that tells you the good, the bad, and the ugly behind taking the ACT vs. the SAT. The practice tests were pretty helpful, and the real test ended up being easier than the practices. So this prepares you really well, much better than "The Real ACT Guide." I would definitely recommend this to somebody who has had trouble on the SAT and looking for something different. Just remember, some people are better at one test and others are better at the other, so just because somebody did poorly on his SAT does not mean he will do so poorly on the ACT, and vice versa.
