I read all the Judy Bolton books when I was a young girl. Aprox. 65
I was named after her by my sister.
About 5 years ago I found a fan club for her on line and I joined it and bought and re-read every book along with the group. The Haunted Attic was my favorite as a young girl and now as an young lady...

I decided to read this after reading and loving the author's The Secret of Saturday Cove. Though "Saturday Cove" appears to be less well-known than "Witch's Bridge", I actually enjoyed it more and would encourage anyone who liked "Witch's Bridge" to give it a try. Even though "Saturday Cove" is not a...

Nothing could seem more civilized, more orderly and sedate than a weekend at one of Great Britain's country estates. Yet these staid, conservative houses play host to a wider variety of murders than do the mean streets of America's darkest cities.

I figure I must have read this when I was about ten. Any book I can remember after three and a half decades must be at least halfway decent, right? Actually I recalled this book and The Witch's Buttons a couple years ago; I looked up some info about Ruth Chew online and was astonished to learn she'd passed away...
| Author | Liz Lochhead |
| ISBN | 1854596020 |
I liked this adaptation of Medea (which is not one of my favorite Greek plays), but I really only have two things to say about it. 1) Lochhead's adaptation seems to move quicker than Euripides' play and many of the other adaptations I've read, which I really like. Plays that drag are challenging, and I feel...
Sir Cumference is a series of entertaining, clever, and imaginative medieval fantasy tales set in a world full of fun geometry-based names and lands. The reader follows the adventure of each book and discovers new math concepts along with the knights and ladies in the stories - and sometimes dragons....

This was one of the first books I owned as a child. It is full of interesting, easy to read, amazing stories about ghosts and lost treasures and strange events ("The Painting In The Cavern", "The Balls of Clay" and "The Whistle" are particular favorites). It also teaches you about the world and different...

I think this is my favorite of the Katie John books just because she is struggling with such an identifiable struggle: growing into a young lady but not wanting to act like everyone else who had turned unrecognizable and boy crazy. I think just hearing me read it might have made my daughters feel better...

Mark Twain prolaimed Anne Shirley "the most moving and delightful" and "dearest" heroine since the immortal Alice." Millions of readers young and old, in countries all over the world, have agreed; particularly those hovering on the brink of their teens have followed her dauntless leadership into...

I used to be a fan of the Hardy Boys, though I've only read a couple of books from the series. This might be my third or fourth one. Though the plot points seem logical, I can't help but think outside a PG-13 setting were criminals are more ruthless and cold-blooded than normally depicted in the series. The...
The Mystery of the Laughing Shadow
| Author | William Arden |
| ISBN | 0394914929 |
Die Geschichte fand ich schon als Hörspiel verwirrend und wenig spannend. Als vegetarisches Kind hat mich auch die ganze Vegetarierverband-Geschichte geärgert, die ich jetzt einfach nur etwas an den Haaren herbei gezogen gefunden fand. Und das ganze "indianer sind alle klein", "Es waren dunkle...
| Author | M.V. Carey |
| ISBN | 0394864158 |
This is a relatively late and inferior entry in the Three Investigators series. The series was created by Robert Arthur, a woefully neglected author who did a great deal of work with Alfred Hitchcock; Arthur wrote the first nine and the eleventh book in the series. Unfortunately M.V. Carey was no Robert...

Released in 1999, Fight Club is David Fincher's popular adaption of Chuck Palahniuk's cult novel, and one of the most philosophically rich films of recent years. This is the first book to explore the varied philosophical aspects of the film. Beginning with an introduction by the editor that places...

| ISBN | 0884943852 |
This was another family book we listened to while traveling. This story is worth it!
I love how Blaine and Brenton added lessons on modesty and virtue, courage and sacrifice, and especially what happens when you let pride push you into a race you have no business being in.
The authors also...
| Author | Christopher Durang |
| ISBN | 0822200848 |
Christopher Durang's Baby with the Bathwater is a twisted delight probably best appreciated by those who have been in contact with well meaning but selfish and truly terrible parents. But then I think most of us have known the sort of people being sent up here.
At several points Durang almost...

At first, Johnny Dixon doesn't believe Professor Childermass's story about Evaristus Sloane, the insane inventor of a fiendish, baseball-pitching robot. Then Johnny sees faces at his window at night, and senses he's being followed. Old Sloane has invented a new, improved robot, and he only needs...
