It starts exciting, stays exciting, and ends exciting
The Dangerous Journey is a book about a gutter mouse that starts out in the city and then goes on an adventure with a wolf and they go through many dangerous events. I liked the book because it never stopped being exciting and it was hard to stop reading it at the end. Tommy - Age 7

looking back on youth
For my RISD class Picture and Word, I was supposed to bring my favorite children's book...alas, my two favorites, Deinonychus: The Terrible Claw and Brontosaurus: The Thunder Lizard, are probably lying in some obscure closet of my house or long ago given away. Without a doubt, though, they were my favorites. Almost like Braveheart mashed into kid-appropriate material...those dinosaurs just didn't give up. Great illustrations.

This book is fantastic!
This book is so good because it gives hope to the people who never thought there was hope. Or proves that an ordinary girl can become whatever she likes.

Very helpful tool for all teachers!
This book is an invaluable resource for classroom teachers. I have enjoyed reading it and have implemented a lot of the ideas very easily into my class. I can already see a difference in the writing of my students. Writing time has become so much more enjoyable for me and my students and we have all grown as a result of the ideas presented. There are a lot of tips that are easily implemented and the appendices are great. They give a list of books that are good for teaching mini-lessons on various topics. I highly recommend it.

A great practical well written book for all!
Out of all the books or articles i have read on divorce, this author really gets to the point when it comes to divorce & custody. I also wrote the author Ms . Pekala, who then called me and gave me additional input that my own lawyer failed to implement on my case. I have been telling everyone to buy the book!

Down and Out in Beverly Hills
Published in Paperback by Lyle Stuart (1986)
Author: Ian Marter
Amazon base price: $3.25
Used price: $1.95
Average review score:

Clever and readable novel based on the film
The story of a tramp who finds his way into the household of a rich family, and gradually changes their lives. Being 1980s based, the story reminds us of what we were really like in those days, with our over-reliance on fads (the guru, the dog psychologist, the radio psychologist) and neglect of important issues like homelessness and our own children.

This book is based on the film of the same name, but where it lacks the charisma of the three leading actors, it compensates by fleshing out their characters. There are additional bits ad pieces put in (in the book the son is gay, whereas in the film he is just a bit effeminate) which make it more thought-provoking, but not too serious.

Marter skilfully captures the comedy and mayhem of the film, without losing pace. 'Novelising' a film or television programme is a difficult skill to master, but Marter has managed it. Find a copy if you can!

An absolute "Must Read" for anyone that cares about children
This is the story of how Anita Hoge investigated and uncovered how the state of Pennsylvania was implementing a psychological test to measure the students' beliefs, yet calling it "educational testing" to unsuspecting students and parents. Those with the "wrong" opinion receive extra "treatment" and the field of education turned away from teaching the basics (Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic). Anita stood up to the education establishment and forced it to obey the law.

This book is an absolute "Must Read" for anyone that cares about what is really occurring in the field of education.
