Although marketed as a young adult title, adult fans of Carlos Ruiz Zafon will find plenty to like in this satisfying Gothic tale of a family moving to a coastal town and their encounters with a terrifying supernatural character named Cain, or The Prince of Mist. There is a constant sense of menace (which is vague at first) that will have you looking over your shoulder while reading. This is a very well-crafted classic ghost story!
Shane loved this tale of a zookeeper and his animal friends! When Amos McGee gets sick and can't make it to the zoo, the zoo comes to him! Children will love the assortment of funny animals, and parents will love the message of love and dedication. Beautiful illustrations! Shane loves.
When best friends Doug-Dennis and Ben-Bobby go to the circus, Doug-Dennis eats all of his friend's popcorn and then tells a fib, which grows, carrying Doug-Dennis away. As the lie gets bigger, Doug-Dennis flies higher, until he's floating in the land of lies. A hilarious cautionary tale. This charming sheep is sure to become a favorite, and that's the truth! Ianni highly recommends!
A scientist mouse and a cast of robots star in this charming tale with an eco-friendly message. Kids and adults will swoon over the bright, beautiful illustrations, and hilarious story to boot! Shane recommends!
Using the familiar stories of Zeus and his contentious family as a basis, G. Brian Karas imagines the childhood and youth of the Greek god. Monsters, trickery, danger -- villains and heroes -- the author deftly uses all these elements to craft a fresh illumination of a Greek myth for today's children. A perfect book to introduce Greek mythology. Ianni loved! |
