review:
I learned that everyone's a sinner - even me! This Book changed my life litterally because this is my religion. I'm dead serious worship this Book. Everyone should read this LONG book to read the miracles of God AND HOW TRUE THEY ARE! Everything in this book is true and everyone should get around to reading the chapter called "Matthew".

]]> The Witch of Blackbird Pond 703292
Orphaned Kit Tyler knows, as she gazes for the first time at the cold, bleak shores of Connecticut Colony, that her new home will never be like the shimmering Caribbean island she left behind. In her relatives' stern Puritan community, she feels like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world, a bird that is now caged and lonely. The only place where Kit feels completely free is in the meadows, where she enjoys the company of the old Quaker woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond, and on occasion, her young sailor friend Nat. But when Kit's friendship with the "witch" is discovered, Kit is faced with suspicion, fear, and anger. She herself is accused of witchcraft!]]> 256 Elizabeth George Speare Ais 3 4.01 1958 The Witch of Blackbird Pond

]]> <![CDATA[The Austere Academy (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #5)]]> 131123
If you are looking for a story about cheerful youngsters spending a jolly time at boarding school, look elsewhere. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent and resourceful children, and you might expect that they would do very well at school. Don't. For the Baudelaires, school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives.

Truth be told, within the chapters that make up this dreadful story, the children will face snapping crabs, strict punishments, dripping fungus, comprehensive exams, violin recitals, S.O.R.E., and the metric system.

It is my solemn duty to stay up all night researching and writing the history of these three hapless youngsters, but you may be more comfortable getting a good night's sleep. In that case, you should probably choose some other book.

]]> <![CDATA[The Wide Window (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #3)]]> 438492
If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted; but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all. If you haven't got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book will probably fill you with despair. I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable story.

I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously, because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune lurking behind every log.

The pages of this book, I'm sorry to inform you, contain such unpleasantries as a giant pincher machine, a bad casserole, a man with a cloud of smoke where his head should be, a hypnotist, a terrible accident resulting in injury, and coupons.

I have promised to write down the entire history of these three poor children, but you haven't, so if you prefer stories that are more heartwarming, please feel free to make another selection.

]]> <![CDATA[The Reptile Room (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #2)]]> 78418
If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but don't be fooled. If you know anything at all about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that even pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.

In fact, within the pages you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a large brass reading lamp, and the appearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again.

I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter.

]]> No Moon 6643868
Louisa Gardener is the fourteen-year-old nursemaid to the young daughters of a wealthy, titled family living in London, England, in 1912.

Despite the bullying Nanny Mackintosh, for whom she is an extra pair of hands, she loves her work and her young charges. Then everything changes. The family decides to sail to New York aboard the Titanic. An accident to the children's nanny, only days prior to the sailing, means that Louisa must go in her stead. She cannot refuse, although she dreads even the mention of the ocean. Memories she has suppressed, except in nightmares, come crowding back.

When Louisa was five and her sister seven years old, their two-year-old brother died on an outing to the seaside. Since that time, Louisa has had a fear of the ocean. She blames herself for the accident, though she has been told it wasn't her fault.

If Louisa refuses to go on the voyage, she will be dismissed, and she will never get beyond the working-class life she has escaped from.

How Louisa learns self-reliance, overcomes her fears, and goes beyond what is expected of a girl makes No Moon an unforgettable story.]]> 234 Irene N. Watts 0887769713 Ais 0 to-read 3.70 2010 No Moon

When her family moves to New Jersey, she has to adjust to life in the suburbs, a different school, and a whole new group of friends. Margaret knows she needs someone to talk to about growing up-and it's not long before she's found a solution.

Robert is a successful attorney who has everything in life-and nothing at all. Focused on professional achievement and material rewards, Robert is on the brink of losing his marriage. He has lost sight of his wife, Kate, their two daughters, and ultimately himself. Eight year old Nathan has a beloved mother, Maggie, whom he is losing to cancer. But Nathan and his family are building a simple yet full life, and struggling to hold onto every moment they have together. A chance meeting on Christmas Eve brings Robert and Nathan together-he is shopping for a family he hardly knows and Nathan is shopping for a mother he is soon to lose. In this one encounter, their lives are forever altered as Robert learns an important lesson: sometimes the smallest things can make all the difference. The Christmas Shoes is a universal story of the deeper meaning of serendipity, a tale of our shared humanity, and of how a power greater than ourselves can shape, and even save, our lives.]]> 132 Donna VanLiere 0312289510 Ais 0 to-read 4.24 2001 The Christmas Shoes (Christmas Hope, #1)

]]> Gossamer 2946954 153 Lois Lowry 0786289473 Ais 4 The huge adventure takes place in an untold city. A city just like ours. A normal city, that has nocturnal animals fluttering around at night, making a big part of our life - dreams. It takes place mostly at a place called "The Heap" which is the hangout for all the dream-makers in that area. Dream-makers from that are go there to "recharge" during the day since they are nocturnal. It also takes place at Woman's house, the person they bestow dreams on.
Many characters are introduced to us in this story. The main character is "Littlest One", sometimes shortened to "Littlest". Littlest is the curious dream-maker-in-training. As she learns how to bestow the dreams, she tries to get her teacher "Thin Elderly" to tell her what kind of creature exactly they are. Thin Elderly teaches Littlest how to bestow dreams on "Woman" and her dog "Toby". At a time in the story, Woman adopts an angry foster child named "John" that causes problems in the story.
The dream-makers, of course, bestow good dreams. But in every story there is an enemy that tries to do bad against the "good guy". In this story, "The Horde" is the bad team. The Horde is a group of loud, horse-like creatures that inflict bad dreams. The Horde has much more "power" on dreams than all dream givers; therefore all they can do is sit and watch. Then, when the The Horde leaves, the dream-givers come out and clean up the mess by bestowing better dreams for a long time.
In order to give dreams, dream-givers touch things in the house and collect "fragments", or memories to put into the dreams. Then, one day, after searching long and hard for something to recover the bad dreams The Horde inflicted to give the little boy, John, Littlest finds something perfect to give him great memories in his peaceful dreams.
I am not a big fan of books, but this was by far my favorite. It was easy to stay along with but confusing at times - which is good. Every book needs some kind of piece of this book to make it the best book. Nothing can beat it! -Aislinn

Gossamer; not common word. Gossamer means something extremely light, flimsy, or delicate. Have you ever wondered where dreams come from? How are they made? Does God make them or does he have "helpers"? This book explains it all.
The huge adventure takes place in an untold city. A city just like ours. A normal city, that has nocturnal animals fluttering around at night, making a big part of our life - dreams. It takes place mostly at a place called "The Heap" which is the hangout for all the dream-makers in that area. Dream-makers from that are go there to "recharge" during the day since they are nocturnal. It also takes place at Woman's house, the person they bestow dreams on.
Many characters are introduced to us in this story. The main character is "Littlest One", sometimes shortened to "Littlest". Littlest is the curious dream-maker-in-training. As she learns how to bestow the dreams, she tries to get her teacher "Thin Elderly" to tell her what kind of creature exactly they are. Thin Elderly teaches Littlest how to bestow dreams on "Woman" and her dog "Toby". At a time in the story, Woman adopts an angry foster child named "John" that causes problems in the story.
The dream-makers, of course, bestow good dreams. But in every story there is an enemy that tries to do bad against the "good guy". In this story, "The Horde" is the bad team. The Horde is a group of loud, horse-like creatures that inflict bad dreams. The Horde has much more "power" on dreams than all dream givers; therefore all they can do is sit and watch. Then, when the The Horde leaves, the dream-givers come out and clean up the mess by bestowing better dreams for a long time.
In order to give dreams, dream-givers touch things in the house and collect "fragments", or memories to put into the dreams. Then, one day, after searching long and hard for something to recover the bad dreams The Horde inflicted to give the little boy, John, Littlest finds something perfect to give him great memories in his peaceful dreams.
I am not a big fan of books, but this was by far my favorite. It was easy to stay along with but confusing at times - which is good. Every book needs some kind of piece of this book to make it the best book. Nothing can beat it! -Aislinn

]]> Where the Sidewalk Ends 30119 Come in... for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins.

Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author of The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, and Every Thing On It, has created a poetry collection that is outrageously funny and deeply profound.

You'll meet a boy who turns into a TV set, and a girl who eats a whale. The Unicorn and the Bloath live there, and so does Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who will not take the garbage out. It is a place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place where shoes fly, sisters are auctioned off, and crocodiles go to the dentist.

Shel Silverstein's masterful collection of poems and drawings stretches the bounds of imagination and will be cherished by readers of all ages.]]> 176 Shel Silverstein 0060513039 Ais 4 4.34 1974 Where the Sidewalk Ends

]]> Coraline 17061
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.

The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.

Only it's different.

At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight readers with his first novel for all ages.]]> 176 Neil Gaiman 0061139378 Ais 1 bad-books-ive-read It's weird... 4.13 2002 Coraline

]]> <![CDATA[The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #1)]]> 78411
I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.

In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.

It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.

With all due respect,
