“This narrative in poems quietly gives dimension to a man about whom we know little, other than his talent in pottery and being literate in a time when it was illegal for slaves to know how to read and write.

“This narrative in poems quietly gives dimension to a man about whom we know little, other than his talent in pottery and being literate in a time when it was illegal for slaves to know how to read and write. It's inspired me to read further into Dave's story and learn more about the pottery that came out of the area. An illuminating work.”

“The ending of this one made me cranky... Grrr. But of course I can't wait for book 3 in the fall!”

“It's a bit of a delight to see Dr. King portrayed as family man and doting uncle through family photos and the words of his relatives, including posthumously published comments by his parents. His public persona is so outward and looms large that it's easy to forget he has an ordinary side like...”

“It's a bit of a delight to see Dr. King portrayed as family man and doting uncle through family photos and the words of his relatives, including posthumously published comments by his parents. His public persona is so outward and looms large that it's easy to forget he has an ordinary side like anyone else. Oddly, his children and wife are not contributors to this book, edited by his niece. ”

As you can imagine, this is a ridiculously mad caper as Lenny, in league with child TV star Jodeo O'Rodeo, tries to prevent Casper from ruining the world. One for the boys, reluctant readers, and anyone who appreciates slapstick hijinks.”

“Reading this, in particular Tariro's story, put me in mind of "Shabanu," similarly giving a strong sense of place and time and the importance of the relationship of Tariro's people to the land. Katie's story was disturbing in that the white Zimbabweans' beliefs about blacks is so at odds with...”

“Reading this, in particular Tariro's story, put me in mind of "Shabanu," similarly giving a strong sense of place and time and the importance of the relationship of Tariro's people to the land. Katie's story was disturbing in that the white Zimbabweans' beliefs about blacks is so at odds with what I know and my own beliefs. This also reveals a history and culture many young people are not familiar with and does so in a compelling way.”

“Narrated by Jenni Barber. In an effort to spend time with Brandon, her crush, Nikki joins the school newspaper as advice columnist Dear Miss Know-it-All. But rival and popular girl Mackenzie remains a thorn in Nikki's side. OMG! Barber enthusiastically squeals, gasps, and gossips Nikki's story with the high spirits of any middle-school girl. Dork Diary fans will enjoy and appreciate--SQUEEEE! (Booktalk: disc 2, track 8?)”

“Narrated by Kathleen Wilhoite. Wilhoite's interpretation was laugh-out-loud hilarious. She nailed the snarky humor of this book, from Bernadette's quirkiness to Audrey and Soo-Lin's gossipy correspondence. Bee came off sounding 8 years old and I would always be surprised when her age (15) was...”

“Narrated by Kathleen Wilhoite. Wilhoite's interpretation was laugh-out-loud hilarious. She nailed the snarky humor of this book, from Bernadette's quirkiness to Audrey and Soo-Lin's gossipy correspondence. Bee came off sounding 8 years old and I would always be surprised when her age (15) was mentioned. Aside from that discrepancy and a slow stretch in Anarctica, it's a fun listening experience overall. Take this on your next road trip or for the commute.”
