i loved this book! this was the first one in the series that i had read and it was a little hard to follow at times but not bad. after i read this and liked it so much i bought the other two and read them and they were excellent, too. i would recomend this to anyone who likes a good christian read. Great job Mrs. Stahl!

Studies today revolve around body image and ignore the emotions and thoght processes vital to understanding eating disorders. Bruch brilliantly describes what it is to suffer from these wayward thought processes, and offers an incredibly insightful and intimate look into the world of an anorexic. Excellent for those who are suffers and for those trying to understand.

THIS WHOLE SERIES OF ELZABETH GAIL JUST KEEPS YOU WANTING MORE OF HER ADVENTURES AND TO URGE HER TO CONTINUE TO UNDERSTAND GOD AND WHO HE IS. SHE IS A VERY INSPIRATIONAL CHARACTER WHO SHOWS US THAT NO MATTER WHERE WE COME FROM WE ARE ALWAYS WATCHED AND LOVED BY GOD-THESE BOOKS ARE GREAT FOR PRE-TEENS WHO HAVE QUESTIONS.

This is an excellent book as research or for enjoyment. I may be a bit biased as I am the author's granddaughter and she is my namesake. The men and their stories are amazing. It gave me a chill when I met one of them where I was waitressing and he recognized my name and introduced himself as one of the Erwin Nine. I felt like I knew all about him and yet, instead of a bitter, wounded veteran, I met a kind and humorous man with a really positive outlook on life. This book will give you a great lift and a better insight into the human spirit. Also, it is a great tribute to the generation that came of age during World War II and how much they overcame to make it a better place for us today.

Read any of Hilda van Stockum's three Bantry Bay books, and you will come to the conclusion that she is one of the finest authors of children's fiction. Period. And six year-old Francie O'Sullivan is perhaps her finest creation. Francie will make you his friend, nay, his admirer. This bold little boy has all the panache of Tom Sawyer as well as the goodness and piety Tom lacks. FRANCIE ON THE RUN tells of Francie's adventures on his roundabout journey home to County Cork after he sneaks out of a Dublin hospital where he is recovering from surgery. This novel, the second in the series, can be read on its own. I suggest, however, that you read THE COTTAGE AT BANTRY BAY first; you'll want to find out how Francie's impoverished family was able to send him to Dublin. All three books, but especilly FRANCIE ON THE RUN, are first and foremost corking good stories: my three year old never tires of having them read to him; yet older children, even teenagers (and adults too), will find them thoroughly enjoyable reading. The greatest beauty of these stories, however, is the author's masterful way of teaching children virtue without sounding preachy.

A wonderful story for children and adults. As the little frog,we all may want to be something different, and in this book the littlefrog realizes that she is wonderful just the way she is! Beautiful illustrations.

Gregory enlarges understanding of the influence of Hellenism, especially Alexandrian, on the literature of the earthy 20th century and on the work of H.D. Her detailed scholarship is delightfully readable and informative....Highly recommended for undergraduates, graduate students and scholars. A significant contribution to H.D. studies.

These books teach morals, how to get along with others not like yourself & that you can have more than one best friend. The special pre-teen in your life will adore this book! Hilda Stahl is a terrific author. This book is one of the Best Friend Series Books. Highly Recommended! Don't let the special pre-teen girl in your life be without this book on her book shelf!

This fun kid's book is beautifully illustrated. The story teaches kids about the good in all people without trying to preach a hard-core lesson.

Hilda Hen's Happy Birthday has been my 2 year old daughter's favorite book for two months running. We love the beautiful illustrations. We can tell that Mary Wormell knows chickens first hand and their funny & quirky personalities. We have a "Hilda" also,and her name is Henrietta. Like Hilda, she also thinks that the flower bed is her personal dust bath.
