 | The Christmas Mouse
Robert Segarra
The Christmas Mouse was an excellent book for many reasons. First off, I
didn't find it to be like any of the other Christmas books I've read in
the past. This book teaches the meaning of Christmas in a different way,
without making it too difficult to understand. It teaches readers about
good will toward all, and sharing and teamwork, and it does this with a
cute story, and some really adorable artwork. The Christmas Mouse is one
of those books that I will be reading for many years to come. |

Excellent - I'd recommend it to anyone!
In a world of fantasy and magic, dragons and wizards, Eragon has to find
his path in life, the fact that he is a dragon rider and millions of
people trust him to change their lives, doesn’t make it any easier. Add to
his rider responsibilities the challenges presented by growing up, living
a one sided love, and not having the trust of the man that was once a
brother in “all except for blood”, and you get half of what Eragon has to
face.
A thrilling book, each page presents new surprises that lead into a VERY
unexpected and kind of tragic end that is no more than the beginning of a
bigger story. There is something in this book for readers of all ages and
tastes, once you start it, you won’t be able to put it down. |

Great - It kept me turning pages, but it was a little slow at times
Candy Quackenbush’s life gave a dramatic turn when, in book one of Abarat,
the Sea of Izabella carried her out of her boring life in Chickentown,
Minnesota all the way to a fantastic and magical place, The Abarat. Candy
is no longer the simple girl with an abusive father; she is a highly
praised element in the events that are changing the story of The Abarat,
affecting the lives of millions without even understanding the meaning of
what is happening around her. The truth is, Candy’s life is surrounded by
more mysteries, secrets and magic than she can even begin to understand,
page after page a tiny bit of these mysteries are revealed in book two of
the Abarat.
