You'd be shocked to see how stupid people can be. This book was really funny. I read every story and they were all great. This book is kind of like a combo of "COPS" and "America's Funniest Home Videos" (but on paper, not tv). These stories aren't just in the U.S.A. but all around the world (as the title implies). Just to give you a sample of a funny one... this one guy broke into a display case at a shoe store and he only stole right shoes, no left at all. Duh. If you enjoy comedy this is the book for you. -_-

A thorough, eclectic memoir of one of the greatest refugee-relief efforts in history, told by the people who lived it: aid workers, politicians, and refugees themselves. I may be prejudiced...

1998 is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Maine and the Spanish-American War, instigated, many still say, by William Randolph Hearst. "Yellow" (for yellow journalism) recounts the period leading to the Maine's sinking through the first-person fictional account of Ambrose Bierce, the legendary American artist and writer, as he traveled to Cuba on Hearst's payroll. Fascinating for fans of true Americana. Lynch is a gifted storyteller.

I know this book is really hard to find, but if you do come across it, please don't hesitate to pick it up. I loved reading it when I was in elementary school several years ago, and I enjoy it all over again when I read it to my kids now.

Meant for younger readers it still was good info about the KKK. How they would start in a community and what they said to get people interested. The law or lack of was interesting. Gave info about the time period.

I liked that Merlin when he was a little boy, was very much like me. I wrote a letter to Mr. San Souci, because I really love his books.

San Souci's books. I think kids should read this book because it is very exciting about medeival times and they might really like it. Brian Kelly age 7 I read all his young books when I studied medeival times.
