Your Brave manJulis Zimmerman
Your Brave Man, Julis Zimmerman is a funny book. I coudn't put the book down four nothing at all. My favorite part was when he had to potty-traind Edison. I thought that was so funny.I was about to fall out of my chair. Another funny part was when he put Edison in time out that must of hurt his hand. I'll give it five stars.

The agony of memorizing multiplication tables!
Remember grade school when your teacher made you memorize the multiplication tables? Remember how hard it was to keep them straight long enough to pass off each set? Remember how much you wanted to earn the ice cream reward once you learned them all? Remember how everyone learned them faster than you? Wilson Williams knows exactly how you felt. He's stuck in the middle of multiplication and everyone in his class-Heck, even his little brother!--is doing better than he is. Wilson just knows he will be the last to finish. That's not his only worry. Wilson wants a pet, but the closest he will ever get is being able to take home the class hamster, Squiggles. Whether it's been years or days since you learned how to multiply or taught your child to do so, you'll suffer right along with Wilson. Be sure to treat yourself to an ice cream when you finish reading his delightful story.

This is a sensational book for kids from grades 4 to 7. An adopted girl believes that she is not as loved as her parents' real children. It's realistic, funny, sad....

Amazing!:)
This book is so realistic. It is great for pre-teens because it will really prepare them for growing up and facing the world. Claudia Mills is the best author and all of her books are worth five stars. I really recomend this book for 10-14 year old girls. Boys might even enjoy it too.

A wonderful multi generational story
Gus gets to spend wonderful days with his beloved grandpa. A very sweet series about a boy and his grandpa, and the time they spend together. More kids should have this experience with their own grandparents, which seems to be missing in this day and age. The story illustrates what fun it is to spend special time with older relatives.

Hannah dosen't fit in with the other popular girls. All they talk about is boy, clothes and makeup. When Hannah makes friends with Caitie, they have almost nothing in common, except their both new at school. This book is great. You should read it.

Overall a very touching, wonderful book.
Although this book is hard-to-find (out of print), it's worth every second that it took to find it if you decide to read it. This book is fabulous--sweet, sad, funny....one of those books that's just perfect. Definitely my favorite book. If you're an aspiring writer, sibling, or human being you should read this book. (Okay, if you're an animal you can read it, too.)

Okay, just a little anecdote. When I first read this book, since I loved it so much, I wanted to memorize it. I only memorized the first page, though, but I still remember some of it: "Cynthia sat on the window seat, bracing her feet against the wall. With the sharp tip of the needle...." It goes blank then, but the memories of the book have stuck with me. READ IT


Pacific Coast Pelagic Invertebrates: A Guide to the Common Gelatinous Animals
Published in Paperback by Sea Challengers (01 February, 1998)
Authors: David Wrobel, Claudia E. Mills, and Hans Bertsch
Amazon base price: $21.95
Buy one from zShops for: $19.00
Average review score:

A well-written reference book
Pacific Coast Pelagic Invertebrates covers the common gelatinous pelagic invertebrates, more commonly thought of as jellyfish, that are encountered on the Pacific coast from Alaska to Baja California. There is really no comparable source for this information and certainly none that is so well written and illustrated.

The beginning of the book provides a description of the advantages of a gelatinous lifestyle, the role of gelatinous animals in marine ecosystems, and the range of habitats in which they occur. This provides the reader with an appreciation for the diverse and successful patterns these animals have evolved to live in a variety of habitats and niches. There is also an excellent section on observing, collecting, and photographing specimens.

Wrobel and Mills have provided a glossary of terms and black and white photographs of each major group identifying various body parts. The description of how to distinguish the major groups gives readers an entree into the descriptions of the species.

Species from four phyla are included: Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Mollusca, and Chordata. The descriptions of the organisms are arranged taxonomically. Information on identification, natural history, range and habitat, and other remarks as appropriate are included in each description. The most striking feature of the book has to be the photographs that accompany each species description. The photographs are truly gorgeous.

Great.
An excellent book. As a Marine Biologist and diver I found this book an excellent complement for both my work and recreational diving. Photographs are very good and descriptions accurate yet simple enough.

Excellent - A must have book for divers
This book has excellent pictures with comprehensive descriptions. From the pictures in this book, I recognized many of the species that I have personally seen while diving. I was able to read and learn more about them from the descriptions next to each picture.

It makes you think
Though I am in Jr. High, I really enjoyed reading Lizzie At Last because this book makes you think about your originality as a person and it shows you the plus sides and downs sides to manipulating your stlye to fit it. Most things that are in this book is pretty [boring] but for the most part I enjoyed this book!

Lizzie at Last review by Lauren
Have you ever felt you didn't fit in, so you changed yourself on the outside, and accidentally changed yourself on the inside as well? That is what Lizzie, the protagonist, does in the book Lizzie at Last by Claudia Mills. This book teaches you an important lesson, never to change yourself just to be popular or to impress someone. Lizzie is really smart, but she can't be smart if she wants to fit in. So Lizzie pretends to be dumb in math. If I were in Lizzie's place I would act the same because she has special talents that she shouldn't throw away like her poetry.

She just can't help herself, and she needs to impress Ethan, so she goes to football games, and changes her wardrobe. Lizzie goes to two football games. The first game Lizzie goes to she is afraid of the bleachers because they are so high. So she takes her mind off of them by closing her eyes and counting seconds in her head. The second name Lizzie goes to she learns what the cheer "first and ten, let's do it again!" means.

It is hard for Lizzie to be cool because her parents are different from all of the other parents, and that's where Lizzie gets it from. Lizzie's mom has long, curly, red hair going past her waist, and none of the other parents have long hair. Lizzie's dad thinks everyone should read the "New York Times" even if you don't live there. So if you want my opinion, I think you should read this great book.


If you want to find out what happens to Lizzie, and if she changes, then I would encourage you to read this book Lizzie at Last by Claudia Mills.

I Am In Middle School and I Loved This Book!
This book is very good. The life of Lizzie trying to grow out of her Emily Dickinson clothing and her vintage dresses is a roller coaster. Claudia Mills has created a typical plot, a girl who is jsut trying to fit in.
