Meet the world of Furkens - the race of Elves that has forgotten how to turn invisible. This book is like "The Hobbit" for kids. It is well written, imaginative and fun. The book left my child and I wanting to know more. We're eager to read the next book about their adventures.

The Barrel in the Basement is the greatest!!! Two little elves, also called Furkens, are looking for a new place to live. One of them is Pudding, and one of them is Muttle. On their way they bump into a cat, who wants to eat them. A long time ago, the Furkins looked very different, they didn't have all the hair that covered their whole bodies except their faces, they wern't scared, rather they were very brave, and most of all, they lost their ability to vanish. Now they looked almost exactly like one of their greatest enemies: Mice. But they smelled like warm apricot jam. By telling this to the cat, the cat finnaly let them go. Then they came across a beautiul house. In the basement they found a barrel. It looked just like a Furkin's house should look. Inside they found an old Furkin. His house is filled with funiture made from wood, and eats only Furkin food. The big questions that Pudding and Muttle are wondering are: How does the old Furkin keep himself from being noticed by the human who lives in the house? And where did he get all the furniture?

I found this a great book. It had adventure, lessons, and even funny parts!!! I recomend tjhis book for everyone to read. Enjoy!!!

This book is a book i would recommend to readers who can face a story with plot were the main character is suffering.

When Colley, or Jed, is kidnapped and placed in the dreadful Broggin Home for Boys, he has no friends. No friends, that is, until he performs a very courageous deed. By doing this he saves another boy from the dreaded "hole", and everyone is then Colley's friend. After an incident in the glass factory, where most of the boys work, they must face the fact that someone wants Colley dead...

The sparrows are 19th century boys who have been sold to, shanghaied by, or stumbled into the clutches of a boys home, which has hired them to the unscrupulous managers of a glass factory. There the boys, including the hero, Colley, are worked unmercifully and are in danger of death both from frequent accidents in the extreme heat and because they are weak and underfed. But the sparrows make the best of these grim and scary circumstances. They become friends, create a secret hiding place, even find a pet, albeit an unusual one. The boys learn what it means to be friends, and working together (with a little help from grownups) escape their scary circumstances.

This book is a neat book to read.I liked this book because it changes a lot, like when you expect something to happen the opposite happens. I disliked this book because it was to discriptive. I would recommend this book to someone who likes very discriptive book.

Amelia Fairwick is a rich, eleven-year-old girl from London. She only has her father and he goes away on a business trip and she stays at Mrs. Draper's Select Academy for Girls as a boarding student. A letter comes and apparently Mr. Fairwick has been killed in a hotel fire. Amelia is to go live in New York with Cousin Basil, her closest living relative. He is a distant cousin of her mother. She wants to stay and live with Aunt Felicia, who is not really her aunt; she is going to marry her father, but she cannot.She sets sail on the SS Sylvania with Cousin Charlotte, who is Cousin Basil's sister. Cousin Charlotte is a cruel, dark dressing, icy person. She barely speaks to Amelia, let alone anyone else. On the dock, Amelia sees a young girl who she suspects is a princess. When the ship docks in New York, Cousin Charlotte deserts Amelia. A kind old lady named Mrs. Dobbins and her son Elmo help Amelia and take her to their home. But in the morning, this are not as they seemed. Amelia realizes she is being held a prisoner, but why? This book is filled with adventure and suspense. It was difficult to put down and is filled with twists and turns. The setting and character description makes the book even more exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all those who enjoy mysteries and suspense.

This book is GREAT! its sooo full of twists and turns that if you were to (try) and tell about it to someone you would be talking for hours!! The ending is soo cool!! VERY unexpected! Anyone who loves a good book would like this one! When eleven yr old Amelia finds out her dad died in a fire she thinks nothing could be worse, but when she finds out that she can't live with her soon to be stepmom (who is really nice) she is Very disapointed, but things get worse, she has to live with her cousin basil (in New york soo faraway from london)(her real moms cousin) whom she has never met! but its not cousin basil himself who comes to acompany her on the ship from london its his sister, who barely ever talks and is about as MEAN as you can get, but things get worse when they finally get to NY, the lady abandons her (cousin basils sister) and her new friend that she made on the ship has already left, primrose. so a kindly old lady takes her in so she can be fead and finally get some sleep, but nothing is as it seems she is now a prisoner again! Tricked Again! But this time by an old lady! This book has a suprising ending! I love it!

This book has a lot of action in it and great suspense. The only problem was the author didn't quite explain the backround of the story to us. It was very confusing at first but then I figured it out. If you get confused with books very easily I highly suggest not to read this book

I know a lot of people may think that the book Twins in the Tavern may not be such a good book, but I think it was. The book is about a boy named Taddy who was kidnapped by two men who robbed his house after his aunt and uncle died. He was forced to work in an inn called The Dog's Tail, where he mets Beatle, another kidnapped boy. Then Taddy (now called Toady), was hired to work in the a very rich house, where he sees a boy who looks exactly like him! Could this be the twin his uncle told him about? And if so, will he ever be able to confront him and tell him?

I thought this book was very good and recommend it to everyone to read.

I first read this book in 5th grade and it had all of the elements I wanted at that age: mystery, popularity, boys and drama. It is a great book that teaches how to tell who your friends really are without being preachy. It can be a little serious, but I enjoyed that. I don't think kids need everything sugar coated and easily solved. It encourages the reader to be strong enough to be who they really are. This is a book that my sister and I still talk about.

I purchased this book to assist me with an immigration law class that I am auditing in a law school. I am a practicing attorney, but have not done any immigration law. This book is only 180 pages long and starting on page 81 is a list of immigration attorneys that goes on for 10 pages. This list is followed by "sample" immigration forms... So, all you are really getting here is 80 pages of text on a very complicated subject. This is the Reader's Digest of immigration books...

Immigration Made Simple, an easy to read guide to the U.S. immigration process was written to introduce the complex subject of immigration to those who needed to have a practical understanding of the rules and regulations of our system. The title is self explanatory. This book was not written to be used as a law text nor to provide comprehensive, indepth descriptions of our immigration laws. There are many other books that fill this need. Immigration Made Simple, now in its 6th edition, has been ordered and reordered by thousands of libraries, academic institutions, corporate personnel and individuals who wish to have a better understanding of the U.S. Immigration process. It has also been a #1 Quality Books bestseller.

This book sure does contain info on bringing fiances to the US-see page 21 and 22 for a complete description and list of forms. It also contains info on every other type of temporary and permanent visa, the annual lottery, NAFTA, adopting foreign born orphans, the INSPASS system, green card renewals, US Citizenship, important addresses and a list of immigration lawyers, etc. No other book on the subject covers so much material in such a straightforward way. I've read them all!
