Children Books

purchased this book as a set for my granddaughter for a Christmas Gift, She loves horse books since she is a event rider herself and cares for her horses. I know she will love The Thoroughbred Series.

Wonder and Ashleigh make the best team in the world. Wonder is such a great filly who loves to race and win. It waz really great that Ashleigh got to ride Wonder in th Breeders Cup Classic due to Jilly's injury but Wonder couldnt have done it without Ashligh. Wonder runs like she is flying with wings. I really hated when Jennings and Brad tried to ruin Wonders chances in the race, but luckily they never harmed another horse, well Jennings. I give this book 5 stars cauz this is the last book where Wonder is the star and she sure showed she was one in this book. Wonder races in the Kentucky Derby and wins but loses in the Preakness Stakes cauz she was bumped and won the Belmon Stakes and Breeders Cup Classic with Ashleigh in the saddle. If it wasnt for her being bumped, Wonder would have been a Tripple Crown winner. But she still made us all proud except for Brad. Im sure Ashliegh was overwelmed when Clay Townsend gave her half intrest in Wonder and her offsprings. If that was me getting half intrest in Wonder, I would be bouncing off the walls. If u want to read a book of a lost filly almost loosing her chances in being a champion and a girl's dreams over flow, read Wonders Victory and u will just get your story. If u want to talk Thoroughbred, u can reach me at Blades60@aol.com

This is by far, the best Thoroughbred book. I actully think the first four Thoroughbred books are better than the rest, because they include Wonder, my favorite horse charector. I have almost the whole series and never get tired of reading: A Horse Called Wonder, Wonder's Promise, Wonder's First Race, Wonder's Victory and the Ashleigh series which come before the Thoroughbred series and take place before Ashleigh (Wonder's groom and half owner) and her family are still living at Edgardale (where they lived before Townsend Acres.)Definatly read the series and especially this book. GO WONDER!

This book is AWESOME! You should definatly read this book. I think this is the best Thoroughbred book there is. I have almost the whole series, and I never get tired of it. When Wonder's jockey is injured, who will ride Wonder? This book is filled with excitement and fun great for all horse-lovers.GO WONDER!
(and Jilly)

This book follows Ashleigh and Wonder as they make their way to the Breeder's Cup Classic. Beyond the fact that this world is well written and engrossing, probably the best part of this book is reading about Ashleigh and Mike's growing relationship. We finally see our self-consicous, horse crazy, fashion despising Ash fall for Mike. It's really great to see this side of Ash; the side that isn't always in control and doesn't always know what to do. I also found the "mystery" surrounding Wonder's freakish behavior before races to be really interesting. The conclusion of this book is just, well, wonderful...
This book is the perfect example of how you close a story and give the reader a sense of closure and satisfaction. It ends perfectly. After reading these great, old generation TB books, I'm even more saddened at the fact that the publisher, Harper Collins is planning on terminating the series abruptly after book #72. Please HELP SAVE THOROUGHBRED! Go to www.whitebrookfarm.com to find out more. I would hope that Harper will listen to the faithful readers of this series and give us the closure that we deserve. Don't end TB like this! We found out how it ended for Ash and Wonder, let us find out about Mel, Chris, Allie, and Sammy's twins too! Please SAVE TB!

I am 25 and my 21 year old sister gave me this book since she loved it and she doesn't even like to read.
It was just a great book, one that makes you go WOW, and just opens your eyes to how different people can be and it shows you different points of views and just how society is like. It's scary if it ever came down to that. But in a lot of ways we are like that today with other subjects.
This is be a must read for my kids, when I have them in the future.
I will always be quoting this book and suggusting any one who has a open mind and wants to grow to read this!

This is the first novel I've read of Neal Shusterman and definitely not the last! I was hooked immediately and could not put the book down. It is extremely thought-provoking and will stay on your mind long after you've finished reading the story. His main characters, Conner, Risa and Lev, are well developed and wrapped around a captivating story line. This is a definite MUST read... without a doubt!

In the not-too-distant future, the U.S. went through a second civil war, involving Pro-life and Pro-choice armies. It became known as the Heartland War, and it ended with the Bill of Life, which states that human life may not be touched from the moment of concept until a child reaches the age of 13. Between the ages of 13 and 18, a parent may choose to "unwind" a child, where their life does not technically end, but goes into a divided state. This Bill satisfied both sides and unwinding has now become an accepted and common practice in society.

That takes us to three teens, all on the verge of being sent to their unwinding. Connor is a troubled kid who gets into fights and tends to think long after he's acted. When he discovers that his parents have signed the orders to have him unwound (as well as their vacation tickets for the day after the event), Connor takes off. Risa is a ward of the state and a concert pianist. However, competition is fierce and, when Risa makes a few mistakes at a recital, she's soon on her way to unwinding. Lev is the tenth child in his family and that makes him a tithe. His parents strongly believe in their religion and that means tithing 10% of their belongings, including children. These three meet by chance - if they can survive until their 18th birthday, they'll be safe.

This story is terrifying and thought-provoking. It takes the issue of abortion and turns it on its head. The country Shusterman depicts is filled with unwanted babies who become wards of the state or can be "storked," dropped off on a house's porch and, as long as the mother is not immediately discovered, the baby is legally that family's responsibility. Troubled teens who are too much of a problem or don't fit a family's budget can be unwound. Medical research has come to a halt because there's no reason to try and cure cancer or a heart defect when you can just get fresh body parts and graft them in. Even the belief in souls gets called in to play - every part of an unwound teen must be used, and since they don't technically die, what happens to their soul, their consciousness, when they are divided up amongst other people as bits and pieces?

I really enjoyed this book. Shusterman writes from multiple perspectives, so we get in every characters' head. Each is well-developed, and you gain a new appreciation for them once you hear their thoughts (Roland's chapter was probably the most heart-breaking). If there was anything that bugged me about the writing, it was the change in tenses. I appreciated this being science fiction for people who aren't sci-fi fans - the world is recognizable and follows its own rules, without being "out there." More than anything, I loved how this book made me think about issues of life, the soul, and how important it is to take an interest in other human beings, no matter their age. There's a running thought throughout by many of the adults that, once this kid is out my door, they're someone else's problem. Connor, Risa, and Lev only continue their journey when someone takes the time to help them along the way.

**SPOILERS**

I think the only argument I could possibly have against this book is that it was eerily similar to Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series. Still, AMAZING book. Astoundingly well-written with a dystopian world you can definitely picture, and it is a horrifying picture at that. The characters themselves were pretty cool, Lev and Pastor Dan were my favorites. I loved the legend of Humphrey Dunfee (and so knew that he would end up being major). There were some predictable (sort of) parts, but they always were still written in a very captivating way. I love it. This is an example of a great book that is both character and plot driven and the two feed off each other to create a thoroughly engaging story. I'd REALLY like to know what happened with Connor's letter, though, since he technically is "dead"...weird. I thought that was a really great idea, though. I pretty much could tell that Connor and Risa would get through the whole ordeal alive and having changed the established rules slightly, but I had no idea what role, or how big a role, Lev would play in it all. I loved seeing his character evolve, super job. The others changed, certainly, but Lev's was the most realistic and relevant to today's world. The procedure itself, though you realize it was never truly described, it still will give me nightmares. The way he wrote it, it can insinuate so many things, but ...*shudders*. so scary.
As for humor, massive laughs for the E-Bay soul-selling fiasco :P

I started reading this book while I was waiting in line for advance voting in GA. It was a three and half hour wait, and it was hard to put the book down.
This book really moved me; it was a fantastic read, and it made me really think. Could this really happen to our children?
I wonder if there will be a sequel---this book was action-packed, suspenseful...all the elements of a well-written, superb novel!

This book is great for infants. It shows babies a cute way to stop crying by involving animal noises and adorable illustrations of all the animals trying to help. This is a great bedtime book.

Awesome book! Great pictures, not too much text, opportunities to make animal noises. Our youngest adores this book and the older ones love to sit and "read" outloud making all the noises.

I've been reading this book to my son since he was 2 months old before bedtime and he LOVES it, especially when I say "boo... hooo... hoo". He smiles everytime I bring it out and looks at me funny if I bring something else out before bedtime. He loves to look at the pages and I do too! It's a simple, fun story that gives you the opportunity to perfect your mooing, mewing, barking and quacking skills. (I assume I'll be using these skills for a while).

I started reading this book to my daughter when she was 17-months-old. At that age, she was saying simple words, so she loved pointing at the pictures of the animals and saying "kitty" and "dog." I enjoyed making the animal sounds and having her repeat them. It's a fun story --- following the animals' attempts to soothe the crying baby --- and a fun book to read.

Great for your boo-hoo baby. Lots of animal noises, cute illustrations, a fun story and a happy ending for the sleepy sobbing baby. I read it to my son, and get lots of smiles.

This book has a number of practical messages for anyone who is managing or learning how to run an organization. Unlike most books, the author explains how to implement the ideas. For my company it helped us build a foundation of principles by which everyone can live by not just talk about. The end result was a more enjoyable workplace and five star customer experience.

As a MBA student, I found this book a must-read. Unlike other books I have read, this book looks beyond classroom branding theory and teaches you how to successfully implement a brand strategy through the alignment of a company's employees with its vision. I look forward to executing the truths as I head into the "real world," now better prepared!

Finally a book that didnt leave me hanging. Achieve Brand Integrity goes the extra mile. Gregg didnt let the book fall into the business-book-trap of only telling us "what we need to do"...he actually gives us access to the tools on "how to get it done." Pretty selfless stuff. If this read doesn't get you off the dime towards competing globally in the 21st Century...then stop buying books on Brand. C-Level Mgmt should take notice from Mr. Lederman...change is coming with or without them!

I like this book because it starts with a simple yet powerful concept missed by the vast majority of business leaders. Brand Strategy is "The process of aligning what we say with what we do, to positively influence what customers think." Simple because it is what your customers expect. Powerful because in my experience most competitors don't get it. They're wrong. Great brands are fueled by strong cultures, cultures that strive to bring their brand's promise to life. Chapter 6 is worth the entire price of admission. In this chapter, you begin to understand the underlying psychology of your workers and how beliefs drive behavior. And what you must do to change them to become a "visible" brand. Not from a strategy standpoint, rather from a get your hands dirty point of view. When Gregg Lederman says process, he means that literally. He spells out in clear steps what you need to do to align what "we do" with what "we say." In fact the book refers you to [...] to access templates that allow you to progress this concept on your own. Achieve Brand Integrity is a small investment that can pay huge dividends if you embrace the power of a designed culture.

Gregg Lederman lives five years in the future, so if you want to know how to motivate your employees and have more profitable growth in your company, just ask him.

Lederman sets it all out so well. This is a huge contribution that if used will empower any business of any size to distill brand integrity in their employees. This book is easy to read and makes it all so easy to understand. I really wish I had this resource to refer to 15 years ago. I make it a common practice to give this book to every new employee that I hire.

This is Amalia' second book.....you should realy read the first one before you try yo read this one.They aren't very thick....so you can read them in about an hour.They are realy good books!

This is a great book. Maggie is still battling her eating disorder, and Amalia is trying to help her cope with it. The author really brings on strong points about anorexia and things that some may not know about. Amalia & Maggie's friendship reaches it's max. in this book, which is another reason why it is so good. Meanwhile, Amalia is also developing a romance with a certain new guy named Brendan. To find out what happens between the two, read this book and get ready to read it over again about 10 times, just because it's so good!

Amalia is my favourite CD person. She's cool, and this book wasexcellent. I hope the next books will mention Brendan, who sounds realsweet, and I hope Brendan will actually have a diary, although he porbably wont.

Maggie & Dawn are lucky to have Amalia for a friend! Even though Amalia is recovering from that awful relationship with James, she goes out of her way to help Maggie, who is showing symptoms of anorexia. I liked how she didn't give up until she found help for Maggie. The part where Maggie finally opens up to the therapist about her parents' problems & how they affected her is very moving.

This is a wonderful book about Amalia Vargas and all of the problems in her life. Her best friend, Maggie is suffering from anorexia, and Amalia is fighting to help her. Amalia (an 8th grader) is having some problems with a Junior in her school, James, who is stalking her. She finally finds love for a new kid in school, Brendan. This is an excellent book!

What a great book I recommend it for anyone. Another great book I would love to recommend is The Secret by Rhonda Burns. Very inspirational nd motivating for everyone.

It has been rare that I've been so moved, so quickened by such a simple message. Perhaps I have been overcomplicating my life for 50 years! This simple volume, unabashedly written by two sisters, has literally caused me to rethink how I relate to God! Who would have thought. I have been a psychotherapist for 20 years, and a Christian for 40. I found it in my mailbox (I swear I don't remember having ordered it--and I order a LOT of books through Amazon). I read it in one sitting and immediately put into practice what was suggested...namely, ask, believe, wait, be thankful. The benefits came roaring in! Astounding! I have given several copies to friends and family with their feedback echoing similar results. They have then passed on more copies. How could I have missed this beautiful, inspiring, simple message throughout so much of my life? These brilliant angels--messengers of God-- are simply waiting for us. Join them. It will undoubtedly change your life as well. Utterly and completely recommended.

this book helps you help yourself, the directions are clear and easy to
follow, you just have to make the time to do what is instructed to do.
and beleive in it

Loved the book - very informative with lots of direction to start communicating with the Angelic realm. Loved the step by step instructions as well as the personal stories of students who rec'd messages from the angels. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in this subject.

I could see and speak to angels before this book- my fortay. I loved them and still do. Everything happens for a reason. So, one day my best gf's mom was hosting a seminar on this book and invited me- several times. My parents too. I thought arragantly "naw, i can already speak to them, i don't need this class!" than my gaurdian and my other gf's gaurdian Caleb nugded me to read it. So i stopped being a little pest and read it. Very very wonderful. Understandable and opening. After reading this, its eaiser to sometimes speak with them and truly a help in my life even more than before.

HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You simply MUST read this book! So quickly, gallop over to your favorite bookstore, and don't whinny if it's not in stock, you can order it on amazon! Once you are done reading it, you will simply neigh with happiness!!!!!

A wonderful horse story! The plot was a bit far-fetched, but it was still an amazing read. A classic girl-and-her-horse story. I really loved it! I wouldn't reccommend it to readers much under eleven, as they might not fully understand it. However, Peyton's work is so excellant, that I should think adults might love it too! Destined to be a classic, Blind Beauty has earned a spot among such giants as Misty of Chincoteague and Black Beauty.

When I first picked up Blind Beauty, a book by K M Peyton, I wasn't expecting much of it, it was just going to be another silly horse book I'd read to pass the time. I couldn't have been any more wrong. Blind Beauty is a story of a girl and a horse that don't fit in and have troubled lives. They find each other by destiny, and develop an undying bond of love. The girl, Tessa, has always loved horses, and finds peace and serenity in riding her cherished horse, Buffoon, through the rolling green hills of a steeplechase farm called Sparrows Wyck. Through experience, she becomes a skilled rider and begins to dream of riding in the Grand National. Blind Beauty is a story of love, hope, and dreams that stay true through whatever life throws at you, and I highly recommend it.
By Maggie

from the glossy, smooth cover and beuatiful illustration, to it's descriptive words, everything about this book is perfect. Now, I know that there is no such thing as a perfect book, but while reading this, i realize, there is. As i am writing, I am holding this wonderful book in my hand. I am in the middle right now, so am not fully done with it yet, but i can already tell that this is going to be one of my favorites. I HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!! reccomend this book to all people, horse lovers or just book luvers!!!

This book is called Blind Beauty by K. M. Peyton. This book is about a girl named Tessa who, when she was young went with her mom to live in England. By taking Tessa away, Tessa's mother separated Tessa from her drinking father and horse Shiner. Being separated from Shiner made Tessa so upset that no one could cheer her up and she started smoking and doing terribly in school on purpose. Tessa and her new stepfather hate each other. Her stepfather sends Tessa off to work at Sparrow Wyck after being expelled again from school. There she meets Buffoon, Shiner's baby, that Tessa will do anything to be with. Shiner gave birth to Buffoon in Tessa's Dad's stable, but Buffoon was ugly, so eventually he was sold at an auction and then taken to England where Tessa finds him. Tessa rides Buffoon and shows everyone that he has talent to race long distance races and isn't lazy all the time. Then she meets Tom, another jockey who agrees to ride Buffoon and can get Buffoon to do his best. Tessa really likes Tom and looks up to him. That's when things get worse and Tessa's stepfather ruins Buffoon's chance of winning the Grand National by stealing Buffoon's buddy Lucky. Tessa stabs her stepfather and is sent away to a rehabilitation place. While she is gone Buffoon is sold and Tessa doesn't want to get better. So now Tessa has to somehow shape up and find Buffoon. Read the book to find out what happens!
I thought that this book was good. I liked how there was always something exciting going on in each chapter that made it hard to put the book down. It often felt like I was Tessa, angry at her stepfather or talking to Buffoon. The main conflict kept me interested in finishing the book to see how everything turned out. The main character, Tessa, had a rough beginning which explained some of her behavior for most of the book. By the end she had grown up a little bit more and had figured out who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do. The characters were so realistic that they could just pop out of the book and be in real life. I think that this book could be made into a movie it was a really good story. The beginning was really quick in getting into what was happening and what was going on, so it didn't take too much time explaining stuff. I also liked the ending, it was just the way that I thought that it should turn out.
K. M. Peyton wrote the book like it was in Tessa's mind. The book had what Tessa was thinking most of the time but every now and then it had what one of the other characters was thinking about Tessa or what was going on. K. M. Peyton had a few tough words but otherwise there weren't many difficult vocabulary words. The author would end every chapter with a statement that made you want to read on to the next chapter and made it difficult to put the book down. The author also described every new thing entering the book so that you could picture it clearly. The dialogue in the story went smoothly with what was going on and the mood of the current situation in the book. The tone was upset, angry or cold a lot but there were some happy and a lot of exciting parts. I really liked how the author kept the book moving at a nice pace and didn't slow it down with too many descriptions. I've read a couple of books where the author explains and describes to much that the reader loses interest.
I would rate this book at a seven out of ten compared to other books I have read. The book was good and well written but it wasn't as exciting or page turning as others that I have read. It also didn't have as an exciting plot and climax as other books I have read. I would recommend this book to people who like horses and are over the age of eleven. Younger children might not understand some of the things that happen in the book and people not interested in horses might get bored with the book or not understand some parts.
I thought that this was a good book. Some parts were heartwarming while other parts were disastrous. It was weird how nobody could get through to Tessa except for Tom and how Tessa looked up to him of all people. Also, I think It was weird how Tessa's father didn't try to help or find Tessa after seeing her at one of the races. He did get drunk a lot but he still should have a least visited Tessa. This book was also kind of emotional because of Tessa changing out of her old ways and people getting hurt. I liked how Tessa liked Buffoon and Shiner not because they were pretty (which they weren't) but because of their personalities. Overall I think the book was very well written and exciting to read. If you want to read a book on horses then you should read Blind Beauty.

My two-and-half-year-old daughter loves these "How-To" dinosaur books. I bought How Do Dinosaurs Go To School? first, which she was hooked on and triggered me to buy this one, which she equally loves. She can memorize and articulate all the 10 dinosaurs names provided in the book, just as she could with the other dinosaur book, which also introduces 10 types of dinosaurs. However, while the illustrations are highly entertaining to a toddler, the language, like that in the other book, is quite lackluster. It would be ideal if the book also shed some literary value and were enjoyable to read aloud to a child as well.

Hilarious yet education pictures. Short questions that children can answer themselves and also receive proper, precise answers on how a child is suppose to eat at a table and in public.

I love these books. Everyone of the books in the series have met mine and my child's expectations. Of course being a boy he loves the dinosaurs and as I the mom, I love the values, manners and morals they teach.

My son has loved this series since he was 12 months old, and he is now 19 months. I thought the books might be too old for him, but he loves the rhyming and loves looking at the pictures of the different dinosaurs. He picks out little details like trucks, teddy bears, or the cat and dog over and over again, and has his favorite dinosaur (the one eating pancakes on the front of this book).

Whether he understands the lessons about mealtime and bedtime, I can't tell for sure, but we'll get them in early since he makes us read him all of these books just about every night! We have ...Eat Their Food, ...Go To Bed, ...Get Well Soon, and ...Go to School. The board books ...Play with their Friends and ...Clean their Rooms are good also. The counting and colors ones aren't as good.

These books are GREAT. My son is a little over three and he LOVES these books and memorized them almost immediately. I love when he reads them back to me. I highly recommend for any dinosaur lover!! I own three of these books and can;t wait to get another!!!!

We offered this book as a resource at our recent Early Childhood Summer Institute. The participants made many comments on how they LOVED this book and the lessons provided.

My 2 1/2 year old LOVES this book (although she pronounces it "tookie" instead of "cookie"). It has become one of her top favorites at bedtime. The language is clever, the illustrations are cute, and I love that it's actually teaching her new vocabulary and describing complicated emotions in ways that even a small child can understand. I think, based on the recommendations, my daughter is a little young for this book, but she loves it anyway and is always very interested and attentive when we read it to her.

The adorable illustrations first captured my attention while book shopping for my 2 year old grandson; the "bite-size life lessons" captured my heart.
Cookies is one of the most clever and unique children's books that I have seen for many, many years. The beautiful illustrations, the succinct explanations of difficult terms such as patience, modesty,compassion, and the tasty cookie subject make for an amazing book of lessons of living together in harmony. My grandson loves it, his Mama loves it, and so do I!
An absolute charmer for ALL ages!

My 6-year-old and I picked this up from the Library on one of our Saturday trips. My daughter, wife and I loved it so much we had to buy it. The message and lesson is wonderful and the imagery is beautiful. This is a book that can and should be read often to children of all ages.

OVERVIEW: Fun book that hits every need that a parent is looking for in a Children's book: great words, smart writing and incredible illustrations.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Parents are constantly on the lookout for a new children's book for their kids' shelf that takes language, art and some sort of lesson and incorporates all those elements in a nice package: this one fits the order.

MY REVIEW:
THE GOOD: Every now and then parents come across a children's book that leaves the entire family in a euphoric state. Since it happened to most current parents when they were younger and their parents opened up and read " Green Eggs And Ham", now they're on the prowl for more books to fit their kids' bookshelves.

Unfortunately we come across a lot of dusty dud-tomes in our book hunt but every now and then we get a gem that has our three year old staring, our six year old smiling and the parents enjoying the read. This book does all that.

The author uses cookies (and so many things related to cookies) to teach words and simultaneously share some (very funny) life lessons such as:

"Trustworthy means, if you ask me to hold your cookie until you come back, when you come back, I will still be holding your cookie."

This would be great in itself, but Jane Dyer goes above and beyond with her lifelike illustrations with almost a nod to Norman Rockwell with their detailed beauty by showing on that "Trustworthy" page the little girl, holding and staring at a cookie and biting the side of her lip. You can't beat that.

Definitely a great read that'll leave parents wanting more pages and kids wanting a reread with cookies, please.

THE BAD: I wish there were more pages? There was nothing bad. Well, except maybe the desire for some kids to want cookies.

THE UGLY: Nothing ugly about this book. Printed on nice paper, the cover is a nice stock and the illustration is repeated on the hardcover. Even the inside flaps are an enjoyable read highlighting words like "SHAMELESS" when it comes to the author (you can check out Amy Krouse Rosenthal's site here) plugging her own work and "ILLUSTRIOUS" as defined with the illustrator's name (Jane Dyer).

Morgan is amazing in this book. I must say this book was my favorite so far. I havent read the fifth yet but this was actioned pack. I finished this book in one day.

Oh, my god. I liked Cal so much and he turns out evil. Such a dissapointment. The book itself wasn't though. I don't want to give too much away. But pretty much what happens is Cal and Selene turn out evil, Hunter turns out good.
I am so confused(sarcastic). Its a real page turner. Anyone who loves to read, read it.

And agian this is one of my Favs!

This book is awesome just like the other ones.
Morgan is just starting to calm down when her she is haunted by a terrible thing that happened in a pervious book. Cal is acting strange and makes Morgan more nervous. Towards the middle of the book Morgans life is shifted when an unexpected visitor shows up.
This book is great and I couldnt put it down. Cate shows in Dark Magick that something is coming. You pracitcally feel it in the words. Its exciting and shifts the plot for the rest of the books.

The events at the end of the previous book have Morgan very upset. Is Hunter dead? Did she really kill him? Has anyone found his body? Every day and hour brings agony for her.

Cal becomes more mysterious. He is both closer and more secretive, and strange things are going on with his mother. Morgan becomes confused. But then she finds out Hunter is alive. She is relieved to know she was not responsible for someone's death.

In her confusion she must learn to try and trust Hunter and even his cousin Skye. What she learns makes her more confused.

Final confrontations reveal much about the characters and their plans. It is a good and tense story. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I purchased the Sweep series for my 13 year old daughter in the hopes that maybe she would read. "She hated to read." Well I was amazed, and could not get her to go to sleep, as she would spend the whole night, with a night-light on reading these books. She enjoyed them so much, and could not stop talking first about Cal and then Hunter, that I had to see what all the fuss was about.
Well after two weeks, a book a day, for a girl who hated to read, it sparked my curiosity, so I started reading, and was surprised to find out how enjoyable a Teen book about Teen Witches could be. I am not really into Wicca, but these books are really enjoyable. I am on my fifth book, and my daughter read each twice, and is know on the Circle of Three Series. I have to highly recommend these books to those parents who can not get their daughters to read. These are excellent stories, full of fantasy, horror, and fun.
