| 1. |  | The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (rpkg) (HarperClassics) from HarperTrophy Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  What I specifically like about this book is the diagram of the brig and the discussion of sailing lore. In this same age Herman Melville wrote the classic Moby Dick: After the story by Herman Melvill (Classics in colour) which has a lot of whaling trivia, but it is clear to see... |

| 2. |  | Crispin: Cross of Lead, The (Crispin) from Hyperion Book CH Price: $6.99 Customer Review: To be perfectly honest, I've never been a huge fan of the whole medieval thing (beyond blatant fantasy). But I love Avi and I feel this is well-deserving of its Newberry. It keeps this low-key, almost grave, aura all the way through. Crispin's adventures are a lot of fun, and it fits into his world... |

| 3. |  | Poppy (The Poppy Stories) from HarperTrophy Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  I have read the entire Poppy series to my class for the past three years. It never fails that every year my class falls in love with every character Avi introduces. From fearless mouse Poppy, her gruff porcupine friend Ereth, to her brave former love, Ragweed, who she names one of her own after. Avi... |

| 4. |  | Treasure Island (Aladdin Classics) from Aladdin Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Treasure Island / 0-375-75682-5 There's been so many movies based on Treasure Island that it's almost impossible not to be somewhat familiar with the story. Stevenson shines here, managing to carefully craft a story for children that will also appeal to adults. The boy hero of the story is... |

| 5. |  | Nothing But The Truth: A Documentary Novel from Avon Flare Books Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I don't know what to say about this book. I bought it for my son per his teacher's request. Everyone had to purchase one. To date, they still haven't used it. I paid for the fast shipping and got it here fast! That's all I know to say about it for now. Maybe I'll read it and come back and review it... |

| 7. |  | Poppy's Return (The Poppy Stories) from HarperTrophy Price: $5.99 Customer Review: but not as good as "Poppy" or "Ereth's Birthday". (Haven't read "Ragweed" or "Poppy and Rye" yet). I thought Mephitis was cute, but noticed that the author Avi and illustrator Brian Floca were biologically incorrect in the illustrations and descriptions of his 'spraying' scenes: Striped skunks do... |

Not onley does she save Ragweed's brother ,Rye , from a nasty batch of beavers , but she also saves Ragweed's family as well.

| 9. |  | Ereth's Birthday (The Poppy Stories) from HarperTrophy Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Not the best for very young children, because a fox dies, this book is a meloncholy story in the beginning. It makes you see what Ereth thought like. Good book to read eventuallly, but for readers who can take it. a good story about a good deed. |

| 10. |  | The Good Dog from Aladdin Price: $6.99 Customer Review: This is the second novel by Avi that I've read, and I have to say he's one of my favorite children's authors. In both "Crispin and the Cross of Lead" and "The Good Dog", he writes of things that young people can understand and does a great job seeing the world through the eyes of the young. (Or in... |

| 11. |  | Best Shorts: Favorite Stories for Sharing (Best Shorts) from Houghton Mifflin Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I was looking for an anthology for students who read between the 4th and 7th grade level, something other than the typical core by the big publishers. The stories are well written, captivating, and present an array of genre. Best of all, my students love the book. |

| 12. |  | Crispin: At the Edge of the World (Crispin) from Hyperion Book CH Price: $6.99 Customer Review:  Crispin by AVI. Crispin got accused for murder and stealing money from John Aycliffe. And now he is trying to capture Crispin because he tries to leave town. Then Crispin met bear and had many adventures. Will Crispin get out or get caught before he leaves? I thought this book was boring... |

| 14. |  | Lion of Jordan: The Life of King Hussein in War and Peace from Knopf Price: $23.10 Customer Review: A truly extrodinary account of every detail of King Hussien's lifelong quest for a place for his kingdom at the table of respected nations of the world - primarily by pushing for peace in his region at any cost (most often through secret contact with his Israeli nemeses). He was not without errors... |

| 16. |  | Tales from Dimwood Forest Box Set (The Poppy Stories) from HarperTrophy Customer Review: My son is in 5th grade and has never liked to read. He had to read "Poppy" for a class assignment so we read it together and it seems to have opened the door for him. He had to have the rest of the series and he read them all on his own. I also read them and was surprised by how much I liked them... |

She had just finished third grade and is a voracious reader. She loved this one! I give her many books but she just raved about this one. She even used it as a book report/special presentation for class. Highly recommended! |

| 26. |  | The Call of the Wild and Selected Short Stories (Scholastic Classics) from Childrens Press Price: $25.50 Customer Review: Long before TV, the written word was the wellstone of many political movements. This is as true in America as it is in Europe, and many modern American books are testament to this. Upton Sinclair's Jungle started the food safety movement, Nader's Unsafe at any Speed brought public and Congress's... |

| 27. |  | Kapap Combat Concepts: Martial Arts of the Israeli Special Forces from Black Belt Communications Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This book is a waste of time and money. The techniques illustrated are beyond the abilities of a complete novice and too obvious and simplistic for a more advanced martial artist - i would personally question some of them in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. The book spends a lot of time... |

Although Amazon claims the book appropriate from grades 5-8, I recommend this book to adults as well. This book is interesting from the start. Set in 1046 England, in Fulworth, a dreary town where fog is present throughout the story, this book should engross almost anyone into... |
