Growing up, these stories about a pre-teen con artist in late 19th Century Utah were among my favorites. I remember stumbling on a box set at a Yard Sale after I'd read them from the Library a couple of times and just about wore out the set reading and re-reading them. Even then, I remember that I h...
If you need an awesome kids read, this is it!! Funny, light, and a engaging read for children between the ages of 6-13. Tom is a genius, and the entire town of Adenville suffers from his pranks from time to time. All kids have lost toys, and other items to Tom, but he is about to pull one of his lar...
Horrible, horrible book! Filled with horrible people doing horrible things to each other! I'd expected this to be similar to [b:Soup|493508|Soup (Soup, #1)|Robert Newton Peck|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1175210367s/493508.jpg|3275154] or to [b:Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective|789344|Encyclopedia...

My problem is that I’m not sure to what extent it’s been fictionalized, but I suspect it’s pretty heavily changed from the rea...
I enjoyed the story so much I hardly noticed the clunky writing. No, that's not true. I enjoyed the story so much I was able to disregard the clunky writing, mostly. It's a fictionalized biography, and it's a lot of fun. Fitzgerald's relatives were very interesting people, if half of what he wrote w...
I'm not sure whether to call this a memoir or a family history or what. I found this biographical book by the author of a series of some of my favorite books in childhood, The Great Brain series, to be delightful. Many of the characters we met in the kids books are here again in real life, plus a ...
I've read a lot of books to my son. A lot. The Hobbit, all three books of The Lord of the Rings, the Narnia books, Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain, six or seven of the original Doctor Dolittle books, several Three Investigators books, and far more. And he's loved almost all of them (I select...
