My 8-year old daughter said this is the best book she's ever read! The illustrations are hilarious, the plot is exciting, and the clues are just hard enough to make you think, but not too hard to frustrate! She's very eager to read all the books in the series! As a parent, I thought the only drawback was that some of the charactor names were hard to pronounce and she had to keep asking for help with them. Otherwise I'm very pleased with her enthusiasm.

One of my favorite childhood books was "Something Queer Is Going On," which combined a story by Elizabeth Levy with the illustrations of Mordicai Gerstein. The book's copyright date is 1973, and it was reissued as a Dell Young Yearling in 1982. I can distinctly remember reading the book aloud to my two younger sisters in the 1970s.

SQIGO tells the story of Jill, a young girl who arrives home from school to discover that Fletcher, her lovable bassett hound, is missing. She and her friend Gwen team up to solve this vexing mystery.

SQIGO is genuinely suspenseful, and also sensitive to Jill's anxiety. But mainly this book is a laugh riot. Levy writes witty dialogue, and Gerstein loads up his illustrations with hilarious sight gags. Fletcher himself is, to me, one of the most memorable visual characterizations in children's lit: with his stubby tail, droopy eyes, and big floppy ears, he is an endearing carictature of his breed.

Don't worry; SQIGO has a happy ending. This is a great book which deserves to be discovered by a new crop of readers.

I read VAMPIRE STATE BUILDING.

I thought it was a really good book because it has chess in it.

It is about a kid named Sam and he plays chess on the internet with a boy named Vlad , who lives in Romania. But Sam does not no that Vlad is a Vampire!

I think every body would enjoy this book!

I recommend this book because it sounds like a good book.

A book about a boy who has a dracula doll. The boy goes to camp one summer. One night he has a dream, when he wakes up that night he sees a shadow in the shape of his doll.

A few weeks later he notices two of the camp advisors dressed in capes and ginger snaps. The camp advisors dress them up in capes and gingersnaps. In the end of the book they go and scare the other kids away. THE END

"Very creepy, Halloweenish. Kids will be chilled to the bone with this goolish read. The author writes great gool books!"

This book is based on a teenage girl who has the habit of lying. Her best friend Sara always thinks that she's telling the truth. Lizzie's Nana has a feeling that she's lying to her mother and she tries to prove that Lizzie lies, but her mother thinks that lizzie is sweet and smart.Yea..Right! I think that Lizzie needs to be taught a lesson.Lizzie tells Sara some very weird stories about her Nana, now Sara thinks taht Lizzie's Nana is out of her mind. This book is kind of funny especially when Lizzie gets caught tied up in a chair. Sara finally finds out the truth after a long time.In this book Lizzie finds a cat and she takes it home. Uh oh, bad idea. Lizzie's mom goes nuts when she see's the cat.Lizzie had to let the cat go. The next days Lizzie told Sara that the cat cat was living with another family out in the country. For some reason Sara got this weird feeling that she's lying.It all ends when Lizzie can't hold the truth back anymore and admits the truth to everybody that she has lied to.

I read this book years ago when I was in 4th grade and I remember it quite clearly. Parts of it were kinda dumb but necessary. Kids do go through a lying stage. The ending of the book left me in tears. Seemed like it ended abruptly and didn't explain everything. I wrote to the author and she wrote back! You should try reading her "Something Queer" mystery books for young kids 2nd grade and up-- very cute!

This book was ok, but it wasn't all that great. This book i kind of stupid, it's about this girl nmaed Melanie, she cheated on one of her test and thats all this book is about. she wants to know if she should tell or not, that's why i don't like this book because everyone cheat's no matter what. they ceat at least once in thier life. Melanie acts like a goodie girl when really she's not, and I think that's stupid. That's why don't really like this book and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. K.

Peace Out

The best age group for reading Cheater Cheater is middle school students and people who like to read short stories. I think this is a really good book because I like the fact that it had something to do with everyday life for children my age. Well, my favorite part of the book was when Lucy went to her best friend's birthday party. Her friend's name is Melanie; Lucy was nervous because it was a couples only party. So Lucy asked this new boy Joey. His father owned a basketball team. Joey said "Yes."I was really dispionted in Lucy when she lied about her bowling score just to please Joey. Then Albert told Joey after Lucy got out of the car. Then, Albert told the whole school. I didn't think that was very nice. Well, getting back to the beginning, I think this is a really good book and that you probably would like this book too. You would also like this book if you like books that have to do with everyday life.

This book takes place at School, bowling alley, and at Lucy's house. It's about a girl who cheats at bowling to impress a guy she likes. When someone catches her, the guy she likes gets mad at her. After she cheated, she couldn't stop. Then when she doesn't cheat, the teacher thinks she did. So . . .

I liked this book because of the way Lucy handled her problem. She knew it was wrong to cheat, so she tried not to do it, and she stopped cheating. Lucy was also my favorite character for just being caring and a good friend.

I read this book when it first came out, and I had been following the Gymnasts series. At the time I was a gymnast myself, so they were very enjoyable to read. Go For the Gold was definitely my favorite! I take the book down and re-read it a few times each year, mainly after I see gymnastics on TV. I am 24 now and I still like this book as much as when I first read it. For anyone who really likes gymnastics, whether a child, teen or adult, this book is alot of fun and shows what being an elite gymnast might be like.

I enjoy reading young adult books where adversity is shown in a truthful and realistic light, especially those that involve eating disorders, domestic violence or emotional problems. Most families aren't the cliche of "Leave it to Beaverville" and I like seeing alternative family units as in the book, "The luckiest girl in the world" by Steven Levenkron. "Go for the Gold" embodies adaptation to deal with stressors, anorexia, and shows where a life can go beyond the difficulties. I would recommend this one and Levenkron's young adult book mentioned above which portrays a broken family struggling with past abuse and how the baggage lingers and causes harm. I also recommend Ann Martin (Amalia), Francesca Block (The Hanged Man), and Deborah Hautzig (Second Star to the Right) which all involve the above mentioned topics. We have all read books about the two parent higher income family, blond successful girl with anorexia who needs more attention. "Go for the Gold" moves a step beyond the basic cliche and shows what is before and beyond the struggle. It adds the nice touch of revolving around gymnastics instead of ballet.

Go For The Gold, by Elizabeth Levy is a really great book. It tells you what it's like to compete in the Olympics. I'm not a gymnast but ever since I started reading this book I've liked gymnastics much more. It's great!!

I think that my book was funnier than anything else. I mean it's about history and all but it was even funnier. It makes you not want to stop because you want to see what's next. I think that the autor wants it so you learn and have fun at the same time. Some other books were all talking and no fun if you know what I mean. There's a little story teller on every page; he tells jokes about the things you've just read. I liked this book and I hope you do to thanks.

This books are wonderful. They make learning history fun and cool. It combines jokes, historical facts and funny information in a great easy-to-read package. My 4th grader loves the whole series. Both reluctant readers and history lovers will enjoy the breezy way history is told in these books. Ideal for 3rd-5th graders and even middle school students. Great as gifts or for a classroom. Too bad all history books aren't this fun!

This book teaches you about Prehistoric times and how creatures survived. The book also has some humor. There is almost a comic on every page, and most of them are funny. It's a way to learn and have fun at the same time. Inconclusion, I write this because it's a great book to learn from and get a few laughs along with it.

While there is no doubt that the author is highly proficient in the subject matter the book was a difficult read. Terms and theories were explained clearly however this is not an introductory level chemistry book. This book is written for chemical or environmental engineering students. Illustrations and tables are also inserted at points where you are engrossed in some pretty heady material so it gave the impression of jumping around. I say this b/c illustrations and tables had a lot of information included. The formulas were high level mathematical computations that I found bewildering. I am not Einstein but I also have 10 years of in the trenches environmental chemistry and field management. There were excellent problems to work at the end of each chapter but the answers were not to be found in the book. I have no idea if I worked the problems correctly which defeats the point of working them in the first place. I would not recommend this book as a "beginner level" chemistry book. This is more appropriate for a graduate school level which may have been the intended audience. If you are looking for a book packed with theory and formulas then this is the book for you. I had expected a book that was a little more general in nature.

This is a reasonably priced textbook for advanced undergrad & grads studying the environmental sciences in Engineering, Hydrology, and Chemistry. Environmental consultants in the private sector could also employ this textbook as a reference. Harry Hemond (of MIT) and Liz Fechner-Levy (consultant in Bethesda, MD) deliver a quantitative treatment of processes. Battle-tested at MIT for many years, this volume features time-saving exercises at the end of each chapter and an accompanying solutions manual.

Jodi knows she's a good gymnast. Suddenly there's this balance beam dismount that she's afraid to do. She's upset because she's never been scared to do something in gymnastics. She's also worried about her mother who's having a baby. Jodi ends up being able to do the dismount.
