AuthorLee Welles
Elizabeth Angier was happy to be at the end of the school year.

The Switch
AuthorAnthony Horowitz
Kind of a neat twist on the Prince and the Pauper story.

When spoiled rich kid, Tad Spencer, thoughtlessly wishes that he was someone else he learns the hard way that money isn't everything. Going to bed as wealthy Tad and waking up as the poor and criminally inclined Bob is a shock to him but he does...
The Case of the Baker Street Irregular
AuthorRobert Newman
Sherlock Holmes is basically a literary superhero to me. Sure his weaknesses are a little more interesting than most but he holds the same appeal to me as comic books do to fanboys. (or girls!) I am just one huge grin at all of the quick conversations, random factoids and asides, and during the eventual...

Bite Me! A Vampire Farce
AuthorDylan Meconis
ISBN0988220202
Nobody expects the French Revolution, especially not the hapless vampires of Paris. Can genteel Lucien, murderous Ginevra, flaky sire Audric, crabby werewolf Luther, and the new vamp/ex-tavern wench Claire rescue their coven from a crazed revolutionary and avoid a date with Madame Guillotine?
This...
The Story of Spain
AuthorMark R. Williams
ISBN8489954135
The only positive thing I have to say about this book is that it is accessible to the lay reader, the non-expert, someone who has a burning passion to know more about the basics of Spanish history (but not culture). The author clearly has done his research, and has done a capable job of distilling the major...
George Speaks
AuthorDick King-Smith
ISBN0761315446
This was my absolute favourite book when I was about 8 years old. The story follows the birth and growth of Laura’s baby brother George, who from appearances couldn’t look more normal for a 4 week old baby but who in reality, was anything but normal!

This discovery came at 4 weeks old when Laura,...
The Gospel According to Tolkien: Visions of the Kingdom in Middle-Earth
AuthorRalph C. Wood
ISBN0664226108
Readers have repeatedly called The Lord of the Rings the most important book of our age—absorbing all 1,500 of its pages with an almost fanatical interest and seeing the Peter Jackson movies in unprecedented numbers. Readers from ages 8 to 80 keep turning to Tolkien because here, in this magical kingdom,...
General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales
AuthorGeoffrey Chaucer
ISBN0198319673
Great! Thoroughly entertaining... My goodness these medieval folks fooled around a lot -- or at least enjoyed stories of those who did :) I'm curious about Chaucer's repeatedly using the word ape ; Harvard University's Interlinear Translation page interprets ape in two ways : "ape" and "fool". How...
The Bridge in the Clouds
AuthorWilliam Corlett
ISBN0613741579
I did enjoy this series very much. I was talking to an author earlier this week (William Hussey) about children's fiction and we got onto the subject of 'purpose'. During most of the last century many people thought that children's fiction should have a strong moral purpose. It should educate and guide...
Broere: de oudste, de stilste, de echtste, de verste, de liefste, de snelste & ik
AuthorBart Moeyaert
Bart Moeyaert, Broere
De oudste de stilste de echtste de verste de liefste de snelste en ik

Mooi.

Met de ondertitel is de toon gezet, met de foto op de achterflap nog meer.
Zoveel warmte en saamhorigheidsgevoel spreekt uit deze herinneringen in geur, kleur, geluid, beeld...

La traducción
AuthorPablo De Santis
ISBN9504900062
Una ciudad fantasma de la costa argentina. Un lugar devastado, casi abstracto, donde mueren lobos marinos a causa de una misteriosa epidemia, y don de tienen lugar otras muertes, más oscuras: todos los cadáveres cerca del agua, con una moneda de niquel fuera de circulación bajo la lengua. Como por...

Designa: Technical Secrets of the Traditional Visual Arts
AuthorAdam Tetlow
ISBN1620406594
I love this book. It's great on several levels. For the lover of art and design, this is a great read that explains the art and science behind what we view as appealing. As a designer I also appreciate the step by step instructions in creating some seemingly complex designs. In my opinion if one is using it...
Manja
AuthorAnna Gmeyner
ISBN1903155290
Written in London by a young Austrian playwright in exile, Manja opens, radically, with five conception scenes one night in 1920. Set in the turbulent Germany of the Weimar Republic, it goes on, equally dramatically, to describe the lives of the children and their families until 1933 when the Nazis...

Cakes in Space
AuthorPhilip Reeve
ISBN0192734563
So, here we have a book with a very suspicious title, Cakes In Space - the phrase "Oh really?" tends to get uttered, or just "What?", whenever I've mentioned it to anyone. That's the type of book it is too, weird and instantly intriguing, coming straight out of left field, or whatever passes for left in...
My Cat, The Silliest Cat in the World
AuthorGilles Bachelet
A great book! It's all in the illustration. If you just read it out loud, it would be incredibly boring. But if you look at the pictures, it's amazing. Perhaps, as an illustrator, I'm biased. But this is a REALLY great book.

Okay, so you can tell by the cover that there's an elephant, not a cat, right?...
