It's the night of a Halloween costume party ball! Mandy, who needs extra money, decides to have a part-time job in the place where the ball is to be held. Unknown to her, Lila's also there, sporting some charming stylish Unicorn costume. When Lila spots Mandy, she begs her to switch places with her (because of some impulsive intentions, of course). Being Mandy, she lets Lila have her way and tries to enjoy the ball.

And then something happened.

A guy, a terribly cute, sweet and funny guy asks her to dance. Mandy was thrilled! He was so nice and perfect, she forgot how fast time flew.

Of course, after that, Lila switched places with Mandy again. When they finally went home, The boy--which is actually Brandon Jones, matinee idol--asked 'the girl with the unicorn costume' who she was. Lila complied gladly, but yikes! Brandon thinks he likes Lila...when actually he's In love with Mandy. A pretty good book, realistic, and not a waste of your money.

I liked this book, but at the end it irratated me that Lila didn't get any punishment for what she did... sometimes i hate LILA so much i wish something bad happened to her.. she can be such a snob.

The area of Williamsburg is large that if you are planning a weekend trip or a week's vacation, it's imperative to get a "lay of the land" before you go! This book allows you to do that!

This book helps you decide where to spend your time in this wonderful city: Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Busch Gardens, Golf and Golf galore, not to mention the tons of shopping and restaurant choices to make!

A lot of people get fooled thinking that there isn't much to do in and around this town.....this book showcases all the different activities (and when the busy times are at each) as well as giving you a glimpse of what to do and not to do with the kiddos.

I highly recommend visiting this area .....and buying this book before you go!

You can pick from hundreds of fun parks and musams right down to were you eat dinner. Whether you are a person that likes to have the whole trip planed before you leave or are very spontanouis you will love this very helpfule guild book.

Alice Friman's newest collection brims with the spherical energy she invokes by the titles with which she chooses to divide her text: Libra, The Moon, Black Hole and Red Shift. Skilled at writing both long and short poems, here she maintains an amazing lyrical balance throughout each section while sometimes using intriguing forms which spring unselfconsciously from the content of the poems themselves. By turns sensual, surprising, arresting and often funny, these poems take us on journeys illuminated by myth, exacting memory, and the close observation of someone attuned to every small nuance of living.

From the starry sky over Greece, to plane travels, to the moon, to a shirt hanging on the door, Alice Friman covers it all. The language so rich, the imagery so sharp, the reader cannot help but to slide completely into each poem, making the poet's experience his or her own. I promise you will never look at seemingly simple objects in quite the same way! Reading "Inverted Fire" is like a trip to the art museum - after viewing each great piece, you must stand back and let it all soak in. A true pleasure. A must read!

This is a great book for the beginning aquarist as well as the knowledgeable. All of the advice has been gained the hard way, by doing it. Alice Burkhart writes in an easy to read, practical manner that covers all of the information a beginner NEEDS to know. I recently started a new 44 gallon tank following the directions given, and have not lost a single fish! This book will pay for itself from the get-go. If you prevent the death of even one Discus for instance, you have paid for the book! I cannot recommend this book too much, I just wish it had been available 20 years ago when I quit the aquarium hobby out of frustration over dead fish.

This book will answer all the questions for anyone who is new to fish keeping.Its easy to read and explains things like water chemistry in a way that is clearly understandable to everyone.It tells you what you need and how to set up an aquarium and in doing so will make keeping fish an interesting and enjoyable experience. I cannot reccommend it too highly,its a must for every budding aquarist.I doubt I would have needed to buy the many other books I have read if I had found this one first.

This book provides a mythical story about each of the 12 Labors of Hercules. Each labor corresponds to one of the astrological signs. There is a discussion about the symbolism of the myth after each one. Hercules represents each of us - a soul incarnate in matter, and the labors represent the difficulties and tests we encounter in the material world. It's fascinating to read the labor for the current month each month as we go through the astrological year.

Alice Bailey's books are somewhat difficult to read, but well worth it for the spiritual seeker. Her work has resonated with me as truth more deeply than anything I've ever read. It is highly mental material, and I can only read a few pages at a time. Any more than that gives me a headache.

One of the easier to read of Bailey's very heady works, but non the less, contains a vast amount of wisdom and wonderful keys to self unfoldment. Each sign of the Zodiac is explained and its true purpose in this lifetime revealed. A great inspirational book to carry in the briefcase or suitcase, to read before a walk on the beach or in the woods.

Roxaboxen is one of my favorite picture books because it reminds me so strongly of the place I can visit, only in memory, where my childhood friends and I used to play. I'm sure many of us share that special memory place. It was a delight to learn that Roxaboxen was a real place, and to discover the stories of the children who played there. The author does such a good job of relating this "story behind the story" that one can feel the summer sand and sense the Arizona winds. The photos and design of the book enhance this experience, as does the special journal tucked inside the book. Thanks to Alice McLerran for sharing her family's story with us in this very special way.

The Legacy of Roxaboxen is a delightful memoir, a tribute to a young girl who created, along with her sisters and neighborhood playmates, an imaginary town situated on a small desert hill in Yuma, Arizona, in the early days of World War I. The book is an intimate look into the life of Marian Doan, the author's mother, who penned a history of the children's "settlement," Roxaboxen, where "homes" were outlined with rocks, boxes, and desert glass, and where the children fought legendary wars and traded their wares in imaginary stores. Relying on memoirs of aunts, cousins, and her mother's childhood friends, Alice McLerran has created a loving daughter's tribute to her mother's life and creativity, as well as a reverent salute to the wonderful world reserved for the mind of children. Roxaboxen is a real place, and has been preserved as a natural desert park for local and visiting children to enjoy and in which to imagine. The Legacy of Roxaboxen intertwines Marian's early life and the history of Roxaboxen with the events of the era. The book, and McLerran's picture book "Roxaboxen" will encourage readers to unearth their own memories of childhood play. It is a rare gem -- a must read for anyone who values family, friendship, and the unmatchable imaginations of children!

Easy to read, more difficult to integrate. I found the Arcane School course of study very helpful with respect to Occult Meditation since the simple reading of this book does not help one advance in the practice. Step-by-step guidance by the Arcane School courses was essential for me to learn the intricacies of occult meditation. They showed the way that must be trod beyond thought to recognition of the voice of the Soul. Aspects of such meditation are clearly explained in this volume, but nothing can replace the practice, which must go hand-in-hand with the study.

Most readers know already that meditation comes in many "forms". This book talks literally of these forms and the "principles" behind a large many of them and fits them into the groupings of the 7 rays. A "form" is a construction in thought matter, and the book explains that whatever kind of meditation you do constructs this as a bridge between the lower and higher self. For example, a person who prays and worships God is constructing their bridge from devotional "thought matter". The spiritual scientist uses rational or concrete thought to arrive at the Divine aspects of Truth in the substance of the created form. The spiritual magician uses rules and ritual.

There are "forms" the result of intelligent aspiration to God, and forms from application of Willpower. Obviously these forms are of a huge variety. There are the collective forms, all more or less valid, created by the world's religions and their meditative techniques. There are forms the result of colours, forms from mantras, forms from prayer, forms from music, forms from seeking the Void, forms from symbols, and forms from simply visualising God or the higher self.

Most important though is the form the disciple chooses in conjunction with their Teacher (whoever that may be). If you fully understand this book, you are probably a long way along The Path. If you use this book as a tool, you will gain as a person and as a soul. This book also has a very good section about dangers to be met in meditation, which is essential reading.

This was a wonderful book and even though it was translated it read smoothly and I woud recomend it to anyone

Condivi's account of the life of Michelangelo Buonarroti is a wonderful resource for fascinating stories on the artist as well as an incite into the artist himself. It is repetitious of Vasari's account of Michelangelo in the Lives of the Artists; consequently both sources complement each other well. It is important to realise that Condivi was an apprentice to Michelangelo and that he wrote this biography while Michelangelo was still alive. While the artist may have been looking over Condivi's shoulder while he wrote the text, it is still very useful - especially in placing the artist in the context of the time. The book shows the interaction between Michelangelo and his patrons - Lorenzo d' Medici, Pope Julius II, Soderini - and countless other fascinating people. After reading Michelangelo's letters, this should be one of the first sources cited to get a feel for the artist as, not only an artist, but a person.

When I bought this book, I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed reading this book because it's full of lists which made semse to me and gave me a perspective on what is important to me. The lists are valuable with meaning. The book was also easy to read and understand. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading lists.

I rec'd this book yesterday as a birthday present from my friend! I love this book!! It puts me in a good mood and it has great tips to live buy!! I will be buying one for several people as christmas presents!

I am 61 years old and I read this series when I was in grade school. I read them over and over and they made a great impression on me. Each story made me feel as though I were a part of history. I admired these young girls and their families so much!
I have searched for years to find them and could find no one who had heard of them. I would recommend them for every young girl's library. They teach a lot about honesty, courage, and strength of character in addition to their historical value.
I am so thrilled to see these books in print once more.
