Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #4: Outcast (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness)
Michelle Paver
Katherine Tegen Books, 2008
Just as good, if not better, than the previous powerful books in this gripping series
I am the oldest of the clans of the Open Forest...I speak for them all...The boy bears the mark of the Soul-Eater. The law is clear. He must be cast out.
What does it mean to be an outcast? For Torak it means he is no longer accepted among the clans. He leaves his ...

Physik (Septimus Heap, Book 3)
Angie Sage
Katherine Tegen Books, 2007
the most entertaining of the series so far
_Physik_ is the most entertaining of the "Septimus Heap" series by a long shot. As Septimus is pulled back in time (no spoilers here), much is revealed about the history of the castle, the Extra-Ordinary Wizard, and of course, "physik." The panopoly of strong and ...

Ellen Schreiber
Katherine Tegen Books, 2008
Delightful and Quirky Addition to the VK Series
One of the better examples of Amerimanga that I've ever read, this installment of the Vampire Kisses series doesn't disappoint those looking for a good, humorous story with catchy artwork and likable characters.
I'd recommend reading the first Blood Relatives ...

Araminta Spookie 3: Frognapped (Araminta Spookie)
Angie Sage
Katherine Tegen Books, 2007
Delightful!!
In Frognapped, Barry Wizzard's talented performing frogs have gone missing - and he blames our blameless heroine.
'When someone in Spookie House has lost something they always say, "Araminta, where have you put my . . . ?" You can fill in the blank with anything ...

Magyk (Septimus Heap, Book 1)
Angie Sage

Finally filled the void
Like many Potter fans, I was looking for something to fill the void. I have found it!!! I am on book 2 in the series and can say that Sage keeps the action coming, the fantasy alive, and the characters believable. I can't bear the thought of finishing this ...

Fun and imaginative book
This is a fun and imaginative book with great photography. Children and adults will enjoy the book alike. Especially if you have a "Frenchie". Alfred is adorable.

Waiting for Normal
Leslie Connor
Katherine Tegen Books, 2008
Addie is my hero
I just finished reading the book Waiting for Normal for a second time.
Addie, the main character, has such a strong voice and a warm heart she reached out from the pages and pulled me into her story. I found myself on the edge of my seat praying and cheering for ...

Christmas Magic
Sue Stainton
Katherine Tegen Books, 2007
Two boys' review: There's magic in this fresh Christmas story
"Little Santa looks after the forest. He knows all the animals and trees by name."
So starts a delightful story that treads fresh snow, no easy feat for a children's Christmas book. You won't find Frosty the Snowman here; no mention of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ...

The Chocolate Cat

Delightful book with beautiful illustrations!
This book -- intended as a Christmas gift -- lived up to all my expectations. Anne Mortimer is one of my favorite illustrators and she didn't let me down. Sue Stainton is new to me -- and a new "favorite"! The book arrived well packaged and speedily. A+ all around!

A great book to read with your kids
I read this (and the previous book) to my son (9 y.o.). We both loved it. We constantly shared ideas about the possible explanations of the events in the book and the possible outcomes. Great bonding experience!

Bad Boys Get Cookie!
Margie Palatini
Katherine Tegen Books, 2006
3 1/2 Long on Story, Short on Originality
While stories about disguised wolves looking for food have built-in audience appeal (especially when they pose as fedora-wearing detectives), this one seems a bit derivative. The whole "bad boy" concept seems similar to Daniel Pinkwater's "Bad Bear" series, and, while ...
