How does a girl respond to the accusation that she never shares with her younger sister? By proclaiming all the things she would gladly share: her broccoli, her time outs--I don't want to give it away. A simple story brought to life by hilarious illustrations, this is something siblings of all ages will love.

Where is Max? is a great book for little kids for instance like my sister. It is a great book for kindergarten and first graders. I highly reccomend it for kids who want an easy book to read to improve their reading skills.

This is a wonderful story! Well-written in first person, Kaitlin Malone being the narrator, it is a real treat to read. It almost reminds me of West-Side Story or Romeo and Juliet.

The Malones hate the Crutchfields, and vice versa, and it has been that way forever. It all started with the two Crutchfield sisters, Maggie and Amanda, and the web of lies, deceit, and betrayal they wove. And now, generations later, this feud has led up to murder. The Malones insist it was an accident, but regardless, a Crutchfield is dead and a Malone is in jail for it.

Kait, a thoughtful poet, is proud of her family. She is a Malone to the core. Raised to hate the Crutchfields, she blames them for everything that has happened. And now that money is tight, she and her sister Abby have to go to public school on Crutchfield land. There she meets blue-eyed artist Bram and they instantly fall in love. But-alas!-Bram is a Crutchfield, and to keep their love a secret, Kait lies and deceives. But when the Crutchfields threaten to destroy their land, she has to decide where her loyalties lie. Is she a Malone? And can a Malone really love a Crutchfield?

This thought-provoking romance is wonderful and tender. I highly recommend it to anyone (especially sentimentals like myself) who enjoys a good story.

It says it in the summary and it's easy for you to figure out: this exceptional book is a Romeo and Juliet-like romance. I read this book and was left in awe. It was of superior quality and the wording in the story was very rare. You BECOME the main character and are left hanging in the suspense and building conflicts. All I was thinking while reading this book was, "Oh my gosh!" "What will she do next?" "This should be a movie!" and of the like.
As you become deeply involved, you will, no matter how strong you are, have the urge to express emotion. This book is very sad and touching so leave the Kleenexs by your bedside.
I would just like to leave a short summary of the book before you read it although the plot is very simple to figure out: There are two familys, the Crutchfields and the Malones, who have hated each other for generations. Kaite Malone is the main character who, despite the fact that he was her enemy, falls in love with Bram Crutchfield. The story doesn't begin until you find out that Bram is the enemy. Kaite tries to conceal her identity of being a Malone and it's quite easy considering that she's enrolled in the school as a Hampton. There's murder, love, blackmail, hate, and the enforcement of the golden rule in this story. You won't be able to set it down! I highly encourage this to anyone, but especially if you enjoy young adult fictional romances. Enjoy!

Scribbler of Dreams is an awesome page turner and I simply could not put it down. It is about two related families (The Malones and the Crutchfields), that hate one another with a passion. Out of money because of her family's refusal to sell land, Kaitlin Malone, along with her sister Abby, must leave Holy Trinity, a private school, and start her senior year at Twin Oaks High. Kait's life is turned upside down because she must start her last year of high school at a new school, which just happens to be on Crutchfield land. Then Kaitlin meets young Bram Crutchfield, a compassionate artist that wins her heart. In order to protect thier love, Kait tells one lie after another and is enrolled at Twin Oaks as Kaitlin Hampton. Soon, Kait is caught up in a web of deciet, that threatens to destroy everything she knows and values.
This book is awesome! I fell completely in love with Kaitlin and Bram, and their love for one another was amazing! What I loved about this novel most is how it showed things from Kait's journal, her writing was fantastic. Everyone will love Scribbler of Dreams, I swear on that!

David is the kind of student who is always clowning around. One day he takes it to far and is forced into joining the Speech and Debate club. After being in the club for a couple of days they go on a trip and get in a car crash and the whole club dies. When they go to heaven everyone sees a real nice scenery, but David and another girl, Marie don't see a thing. Marie is the president of the club and the biggest nerd at the school. They think they don't belong in heaven and should go back to earth. After a long discussion with God's assistant, they decide that David will face God in a debate. He debates to see if he can go back to earth. David knows nothing about debating, so he knows he can't do it without Marie. They try going to the library and reading some books God gave them but David and Marie just couldn't find any mistakes God has made. When the debate finally comes David doesn't have the slightest idea what to say. He has to think of something fast because his life and Marie's depend on this debate. I really liked this book because it was one person's point of view about what heaven would be like when you die. this book also shows that sometimes people aren't what they are made out to be. Marie was the biggest nerd, but when David finally spent time with her, he saw that she waqs the same as everyone else on the inside. These and many other qualities come together to make a very good book for people of all ages.

Pearson's outstanding first novel is witty and clever. I couldn't put it down. From the first paragraph Pearson hooks the reader with punching detail, David's hip teen voice and an unconventional and amusing vision of both heaven and God, who sends David a series of notes on yellow paper offering assistance in the debate David has challenged him to. David refuses but finally reads one of "God's Journals," the book of Genesis, and find the strategy he needs to win his way back to life. The book is thought-provoking while entertaining, and respectful of God's power and love despite the unusual portrayal and humor.

I'd been hearing GREAT things about this book, and couldn't wait to read it. Mary Pearson is a gifted, humorous writer who can successfuly blend serious topics into a light, fast-paced FUN book. David goes on a school field trip but a wrong turn lands him and his classmates in Heaven. Then it's up to David to debate his way out of this life and death situation. The ending was perfect!
