Not many books can pull me from video games, but this book and its prequel did just that. I enjoyed the progression through the book, but I wanted it to continue when I finished. I will be purchasing Brisingr when it is released.             Once Upon a Time in the North (David Fickling Books) Philip Pullman Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008 An election and dangerous encounters mark a gripping fantasy Philip Pullman's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE NORTH provides another strong fantasy from His Dark Materials and is set in the frozen Arctic, where a series of clues and a board game becomes a dangerous quest for knowledge.

What I think is disturbing is the lack of recognition of the spirituality in Phillip Pullman's writing that reviewers seem to have. This book is not a testament of atheism. On the contrary. ...             I Am the Messenger Markus Zusak Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2006 Loved it beyond compare This book will challenge you to think outside the square. Think outside the square so to speak and love the story for what it is. From the Doorman to Ed's friends and family. Laugh and cry with them and I was moved to tears by the exquisite writing.

I work with kids ages 9-11 and they're at that age where curiosity becomes overbearing. Mavis Jukes touches on hard to discuss topics and makes learning about scary things easier. At the same time it is not too detailed.             Eragon/Eldest Trade Paperback Boxed Set Christopher Paolini Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007 Stop making baseless comparisons How does one imagine comparing Paolini, the young author of "Eragon" with the likes of Lewis and Tolkien.
