For more reviews, check out my blog Craft-CycleThis book was much better than I thought it would be. I picked it up in the clearance section because I was intrigued by the cover. My expectations weren't very high, but this book definitely exceeded them. This is a unique story of maneuvering your way...

I heard a lot about this book on the internet (apparently there is/was a whole hype about it). Sorry to say, but this book was nice, but nothing really special.Maybe because I read it in Dutch, and the many things that have been Dutchified (Wilhelmina and some other things), but I felt the story lac...

I'm not sure what I expected from a book with a title such as this (expecting high art from a book centered on a wise paper finger puppet is not a good idea), but I was ultimately a little disappointed considering this book's reputation. (Then again, I didn't much like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books...

I know I have just finished this in January, but I'm going out on a limb, may the force be with me, and say this just might be my favorite book of the whole year! LOVED it! Genius it is! Recommend highly I do!

I went back and picked up the first book in this series. And I do like it, they’re very solid books for kids (probably more for the reluctant readers), but I think I’ll be skipping over “Darth Paper” and the future installments. I will heavily recommend them at work in the future, though.I have to p...

Cute little story about a finger puppet and a group of sixth graders. It is a very quick read and perfect book to get boys interested in reading. Set up as a case file, each chapter is a story about what Yoda did for the kid telling the story. Has a very cute ending!

6/26/12 ** Changed to 4 stars after this reading; Re-read this summer b/c this book is one of the 20 on the upcoming year's Young Hoosier Nominee list. Getting ready for book talks. When I read Wonder (R.J. Palacio) several weeks ago, I was thinking of this book as well. Both books lead to excell...

So, I try to be better parent and read the stuff the boy is reading, so I can act like I'm being censorious to the stuff that might be "bad" or whatever. And I think I've said this before, but a middle grade novel is still a novel, so you have to commit to it in a way that you can't or don't with p...
