Glory is a well-written, well-crafted, and exceptionally pleasing read. The author has deftly created a character that the reader comes to know intimately and care about. I'm sure many readers will identify with Glory's rebelliousness and insatiable curiousity about the world. I am looking forward to finding out what the author has in store for this strong and yet all-too-human female character.

The young reader will look to Glory for guidance in pursuing their own independence. She's fiesty, determined and resourseful which empowers her readers to test their own skills in pursuing their independence.

Jodi has given her readers the feeling of becoming a guest in the town of Dogwood, where we are encouraged to become a part of the daily life and a witness to the traditions of this conservative coal mining town. Then she allow us to accompany Glory, on her adventure, as she is banished from her home and family, to put her resourcefulness and unwavering will to the test.

Love the book! I can't wait for my daughter to read it!

Glory is a literary work for all ages! The experience swept me to Dogwood, and the cold wintery hills of West Virgina, where Glory entered my heart. The familiarity, with which each character was introduced, gave the story a reminiscence of family lore and the settings visited were much like havens of childhood.

Bravo to Jodi Lynn for bringing an empowering example of literature into the lives of our youth. I look forward to travelling on to Shadow Tree with Glory!

This book has great historical information and facts. If I had to do a report on Italy, this is a book that I would want to use for the report. This is a good book for students and teachers alike.

"The book is an amazing introduction to the Bard, his works and environment...a way to overcome literacy and dramatic stage fright that can open many doors..."

For any one who has ever dreamed of going to the rodeo but never had the chance, this book is the way to get there! Lynn Hall is so enthusiastic and explanatory in writing the details of this book 'Tin Can Tucker'. I give it 5 stars just for that.

This book would be useful if the turnover in the hotel industry were not so rampant. The information was very helpful, but I spent a great deal of time trying to match hotels referenced in the book with their current owner or management company. Of course my next concern was the relevance of a property 's review if the hotel had indeed changed its management!

Thank you, thank you! After hours of online searching, talking with travel agents and pouring over brochures, finally an objective assesment of where to stay! We found the perfect resort for our honeymoon and will return for our first anniversary!

Traces Mexico through centuries of splendor and oppression. Great facts and figures, most of my Mexican friends didn't comprehend the full extent of de-population after the Spaniards arrived.

This book is designed to be used in conjunction with Bobbie's Story: A Feelings Workbook. I don't know if the Workbook is any good, but I'm disappointed with this one. In fact, I'm returning it.

This book provides information about sexual abuse in children, some resulting behaviors and feelings, and suggestions on how to help. This book can be a good compliment to professional therapy that a child goes through. Helping raise knowledge about sexual abuse and how to help a child deal with it is a difficult and important topic. -Cynthia Miller Lovell, author of The Star: A story to help young children understand foster care, and Questions & Activities for The Star: A handbook for foster parents
