Low-grade

In the book THE WITCH WHO WAS AFRIAD OF WITCHES, there were three witches, Polly, the oldest, knew *everything*, Wog, the middles sister, could do *everything* the best. Then, of course, there was the youngest and the most picked on (at least by her sisters :( ) Wendy. This is a very good book, though I disagree that the notion that all witches wear black robes and hats, have warty green noses, and cackle evily. Some are short, wear glasses, and teach english. ^_^';; Heh heh, anyway.. as I said, this is a very good book, even for older children and teenagers alike.

These are my favorite exciting parts of the book. My first favorite part is when a ghost named Roger knocks on the door and says, "Trick or treat!" and Wendy says there's nobody home. My next favorite part is when they go to Roger's house to get a broom. When Wendy sits on the broom, and she cackles and gives a little jump, she zooms to the ceiling. Another favorite part is when Wendy puts spells on her sisters, Wog and Polly. Another one is when they come home limping and they think they lost their witch powers. My last favorite part is when they find Wendy and they say that her broom won't work and Polly gets on the broom and she can't take off and Wog gets on the broom and she can't take off either. Then Wendy gets on and cackles and gives a little jump and zooms off out the window faster than they ever flew.

My daughter, who just turned five, recently "discovered" all sorts of things she can be afraid of -- large spiders, strange shadows, monsters, etc. Therefore, I was delighted to find the book, "The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches," where the heroine, Wendy, is someone who would normally be labeled scary just because she is a witch. But there's nothing to fear about Wendy, who is even afraid of other witches herself. My daughter began the story by asking if the characters would be scary, and ended by rooting for Wendy. The book's underlying message that all of us have special abilities, including the power to face our own fears, is an important one. And the cute, colorful illustrations don't hurt! My daughter loves the story, and we have read it several times.

Wonder's had a winner born. A silky brown colt that looks just like her was born.Ashligh is naming him Wonder's Pride. But trouble has just risin when Brad returns to the farm. Worst of all, Wonders Pride might be sold!Can Samantha save Wonder's Pride from the auction block?Townsed Acres is under lots of pressure. Ashligh is in need of help.But what can two gils do to save an intire farm?

This is defintly one of my favorite TB. Pride's training is going well, and Samantha even gets to help train him! But then the owner of the farm says that the farm is going bankrupt, and may need to sell Pride and Wonder for money. Ashleigh and Samantha must preswade him to keep the colt and the mare on the farm. Will Pride and Wonder be sold, or will they stay? Find out in number 6 of the TB series!

This was fantastic! It goes down the line of Wonder's offspring, and changes people, which is also a nice change. It shows how Samantha is determined to save "her" beloved horse from being gone forever. I recommend this to EVERYONE!!

This book has great myths. At first, it seems boring, but soon your eyes will be glued onto the pages. It is a wonderful book to share around to your classmates and teachers. Each story has a morel that teaches you well on a situation. I recommend this to people around the teens.

This book is a great resource book. Not only for young readers but for anyone who want to know the most significant stories in Greek Mythology. This book makes a good basic reference for any history class. Anyone can learn easily from this book because it is easy to read, yet you receive a lot of information. It also includes colorful illustrations that giulds the reader through.

This book includes sections such as: "Mother Earth and Her Children", "The Gods and Foddesses of Mount Olypus", "Zuez and the Creation of Mankind", and "Triumnphs of the Gods". It has such stories as: Prometheus and His Gift to Man, Pandora, Echo, Medusa, Jason, Odysseus, and much more.

A personal favorite of mine is the story of Jason. One man fell for the love of a youthful princess, and tempted to leave his wife, Medea. Medea spent much of her money and prepared a feast for Jason. The revenge was sweet.... I can't tell you the rest. Buy this book, its far too interesting.

When one is trying to get a basic overall grasp of Greek mythology, it can be an overwhelming and formidable subject, and one can be at a loss for the best place to start. Most books I've found either give too much detail too fast or else are hit-and-miss selections that don't give a very comprehensive introduction. If that's been your experience too, this book could be an excellent solution to your problem. It gives a highly readable thorough introduction without overwhelming you with details. As an introduction to or review of Greek mythology, it is therefore highly recommendable. Although probably aimed primarily at children, I suppose grown-ups too, if not already expert on the subject, won't find it too elementary.

In Low Tide, a science fiction adventure, Charlie
Snelling and his friend Wiremu go out to sea so they can fish. The tide is unusually low and when they start looking around, Charlie's little sister, Elisabeth, is found tagging along behind them. They spot a ship up on a tall rock and decide to explore it. They see a name on a bell but can only make out the letters A and L. They figure it's the Alexander, which divers are searching for because it holds treasure. They are very excited until everything starts rumbling.
A huge tidal wave carries them and the ship up into the Knuckle, a cluster of mountains, where the Koroua, a crazy mountain man, supposedly lives. Charlie, Wiremu, and Elisabeth lie still on the ship too hurt to move. Charlie hears something climbing aboard and then he sees it. Standing before him is the Koroua, with black teeth and white hair all over its body. All they wanted to do was go fishing, but soon, all Charlie wants to do is take the ship with the treasure and make it home alive. I liked how there was one problem after the other. William Mayne's writing is descriptive and very creative. The beginning, middle, and end all have adventures of their own and are nothing alike. I'm glad I kept reading it because the end was really surprising. I would have never expected it!
