Contests Books

The best reading experience is being taken to a different time and place by a protaganist who captures your heart. Possum propels you into her world with a unique voice. Her feelings become your own. Grieving and spunk combine in this rich character. No, not a character, church truth Possum is living, breathing real. I look forward to the rest of her story.

This tale has the ring of truth to a Southern girl who also experienced deep grief as a child. Ms. Laso shows her impressive talent not only by writing in the voice of a 10-year-old girl, but also by sprinkling in clever sentences that zing with insight ("Plus the big rock stuck in the throat ... it's hard to get past, words out or food in." "And the people left behind have to find the way and the will to crush the quiet before it crushes them."). Ms. Laso has accurately conveyed the dialect, successfully captured the sensations of grief and carefully balanced pain and humor to produce an honest, bittersweet account of an emotionally charged phase of life.

I loved keeping company with Possum and her Southern friends. The setting brought me back to the hours I shared with Lee Harper's Scout and the evenings I spent with John Boy on Walton's Mountain. Possum's narrative and Maria Lazo's lyrical voice told a tender story about painful life transitions- a timeless theme that's relevant in any era and local. In Possum's words, "I was so full of sorrow, I don't guess I would've had the strength to blow the dander off a danderlion." And yet, remarkably, eventually she was able to go "back to doing the things that needed doing, like shooing crows out of Momma's pecan tree, helping Daddy in his woodshed, and naming cloud animals, among my other chores and daily travels. Felt like I had a good hold on things." Learning how to get a 'good hold of things' despite loss and pain is a lesson for not only Possum, but everyone who loves.

Maria D. Laso's ability to draw in this reader to Possum's world was evident from the story's first line. Ms. Laso paints a vivid, textured portait of an earlier time and place that breathes with authenticity. Possum speaks as a child but with a wisdom not found in many of the adults in her world. I was truly sad the excerpt ended when it did. I long to find out what happens with Possum, her dad and the brown lady. "The Morning Come" is a first-rate work by a talented writer.

From the first sentence, Possum's engaging voice and perceptive nature drew me in. The "down home" language lends a rhythm to the sentences, creating a charming first person narrative of this coming of age story of a young girl growing up in 1930's Appalachia and coming to grips with loss, loyalty and love. Her mother and new baby sibling has died in childbirth and Liz Betty "Possum" and her father are left with "sorrow storming inside" and must, as Possum says "find the way and the will to crush the quiet before it crushes them." Possom's humorous turns of phrases resonate with the naive wisdom of an observant, quick-minded, self-confident young girl, and make for delightful reading.

The first chapter introduces Possum and her father each dealing with grief in their own way and the Crow Ladies who come "...fixing to stick their beaks in our business." Possum handles the Crow Ladies with resourceful mischief. In the course of the narrative of the next two chapters we meet Miz Justice, a near-blind old lady with a touch of the Sight, Possum's friend June May, who is ten, a year younger than Possum, and whom Possum describes as having "a coon's compass for a brain," and a Yankee lady, newly come to town, whose charm Possum mistrusts right away. In three chapters, skillfully written, Maria D. Laso presents what promises to be an entrancing coming of age story.

A previous reviewer compares the author's work to Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. Considering a usually successful use of self-deprecating and anecdotal humor, I can understand the comparison between the author's style and Bill Bryson's style. The author is undeniably funny. Relying entirely on the author's passion for adventure, the narrative describes a theatrical series of events fit for a screenplay.

However, that is all this book offers and why the comparison to Bill Bryson falls well short of accurate. The strength of Mr. Bryson's writing is the purpose underlying the humor, especially self-recognition through experience. The reader can internalize Mr. Bryson's experiences, see the world from Bryson's vantage and ultimately identify with Mr. Bryson's motivation for writing the book.

Mr. Davis' The Underdog falls short of Mr. Bryson's achievements. Instead of relating to narrative, the reader must watch from the sidelines. In this case the author's strength is also his weakness. How many readers can identify with first hand-experiences of bull-fighting or sumo wrestling? The effect is, essentially, a Hollywood blockbuster in a book. What you see is entertaining, but fails to stimulate any further thought.

Furthermore, and what was most disappointing to me, was the lack of conclusion. I kept waiting for the author's epiphany to explode off the pages and into my conscious, but instead of an explosion I got a series of undeveloped thoughts more analogous to a shotgun at 200 yards than a grand-finale. In the final passage, the author's last chance to tie the whole book together, he opts to wander off on a completely new tangent relating his experiences to the untapped potential of the internet (Did Wired ask you to plug The Long Tail, or was this your idea?). Instead of finishing the book with an appreciation for how this author's struggles to find his purpose in life might assist me in finding mine, I was left with questions:

Was this about the unquenchable American spirit? Or, was it about the changing definition of achievement and success? Alternately, it might have been about appreciating your own family, your talents, your opportunities, etc instead of admiring your neighbor's lawn. Honestly, I don't know.

In essence, The Underdog is a funny one time read, but certainly not deserving of such glowing reviews as it has received here on Amazon.

This author sent me an invitation to be his amazon friend. Hello! All of my reivews are bitter and sarcastic, why would I want to buy your book? Maybe I should you spam about "enlargement" products. How would you like that? The book might be a great story. Frankly, I don't care! I would rather read a book about the mating rituals of worms than me spammed by an author that wants me to buy his book.

From the moment I read the first three pages of the introduction I was hooked. This book speaks of and to the American spirit with humor and wit. Not only did I laugh out loud every time I opened it, but I cried a few times too. It's the kind of book that you read so fast because it is so good, but you don't want to so that it will last longer.

If you are looking for a book that inspires you through narrative and challenges you to go beyond your day-to-day life, or, if you want a hilarious window into the zany life of some "average" Americans, look no further. We are told to follow our dreams in a culture that is not set up to handle it when all of us do. This book is for us an answer to that problem. I look forward to many more insightful books from this talented author.

I think this book was funny and adventurous. My favorite part was the sumo wrestling. I recomend this book to parents and older kids.

A quick read; fun and emotionally transparent. Our little hero graces his way through eccentric adventure after eccentric adventure, all the while proving that even the least talented among us can be champions (or at least, very nearly so). There is a tenderness in this book. In its Quixotic madness, it transports us into worlds of danger, adventure, greatness, and saunas in Finland. A true story of sporadic unshakeable dedication and glorious redemption...and courage. The Underdog clearly underscores the ideal: it's not whether you win or lose, it's how many fat guys you can yank by the g-string. A great read.

A cute story about how children see their dolls and dolls see their children. Perfection is in the eye of the child. And the most worn are often the most loved. Any one with a passion for dolls would love this story.

Absolutely love this book for girls ages 0 to 12 -but most compelling for ages 6-10. This was a favorite of mine when i was young. My 8 year old daughter is so enamoured wtih the story she wants to have a Best Loved Doll birthday. Don't hesitate - buy this book!

This wonderful book captivated me as a child. It is probably my most favorite book from my childhood and I loved it so! I remember so much how I wished I could have owned the best loved doll, and how it made me tear up after my mother read it to me for the first time. I cannot wait to read it one day to my daughter(s)!

"The Best Loved Doll" was the first book I fell in love with as a little girl. Even after I grew up I still remembered this book. When I got pregnant and found out I was having a little girl, I knew I had to find this book. And to my astonishment, I found it and didn't think twice of purchasing it. I can only hope that my little girl will love it as much as I did. A true treasure for all little girls with a good meaning: just because something looks old and is in tatters, it doesn't mean it can't be loved or give love.

I have loved this book my whole life. I think it is a great reminder for today's materialistic youth.

Words cannot describe how I feel about this book; I read it in high school, and it's phemonenal, it's fantasic, it's amazing. It's a story that takes place in 1987 Long Island, which is the best possible time for this story. The town the characters live in is a fictional town called DeWitt, but it is right next to Seaford, which is actually a real town. The entire story has a good, homey feel to it and it was just a pleasure reading. It needs to go back in print. I'm two seconds from starting a petition.

OK, to everyone reading this review of the book. Listen - this is one of the best books that you will ever read. It is a book for young adults that you will read many, many times and enjoy more each time. It is a very funny but down to Earth book in a homely setting in Long Island. Just the fact that it is out of print is a crime. This book needs to be put back into print. I would like to see more of Raymond Jardine, although I do not know if I would like to see a movie of it because I'm pretty comfortable with what I envision in my head about this book. A sequel, however, would be welcomed. In conclusion, read this book. You'll thank me.

While this is not Korman's best work, it was the first indication that he could do something more complex, and more serious, than the Bruno and Boots series that made him famous.

Korman was one of the few authors that I looked forward to reading when I was getting too old for kids books and was still too young for adult novels. His appeal is his humor, which is sophiticated enough to appeal to jaded teens.

This book is full of that same quirky humor, which is embodied in the nonsensical poetry that is just obscure enough to sound "deep" and therefore avoid criticism:

Registration Day

On registration day at taxidermy school
I distinctly saw the eyes of the stuffed moose
Move.

The plot revolves around Sean Delancey and his trouble-courting friend Raymond Jardine, who find themselves getting sucked in deeper and deeper in an attempt to bring an obscure dead author back to life. Seemingly innocent white lies compound, until they're forced to take drastic measures to avoid severe consequences.

This book is good because the quirky characters and "prank" style action keep the pages turning, and the humorous writing doesn't get in the way of the interesting story. I wouldn't recommend that you make this your first Gordon Korman book (No Coins Please is probably a better place to start, depending on how old you are), but if you're a fan of his writing, this is another solid entry in his work.

This book is about a teen. Sean Delancy the main person of the book. He is trying to win a trip to Theamelpos which is a Greek island. The class he is trying to win it in is English class. He must write a essay to be able to win the trip. His luck is bad. You must read the book to yourself to be able to find out if he win the trip or not. I would recomend this book to any one whose life is hard as an eleventh grader.

This book is one of the greatest. Gordon Korman is, in my opinion, the best fiction author of the 20th and 21st centuries. I LOVE his books, and wish all the great old ones were back in print. I highly recommend his books to all the readers I meet. Thankfully, among my siblings and I, we have several of the old books, but I wish they were all more readily available, as we don't have some of our favorites. I don't think words can adequately express how beloved these books are; they are a delightful read. The person who decided they should go out of print must be insane or have no taste. If I were a school administrator, I would have all the children read these books, especially this one. They are a shining star among the trash that is out there today for young people.

I recently did a make-over party and handed these out as favors. Thought this would get the kids off to a good start on their summer reading program. The kids loved them and the story is very thought provoking. Shows kindness to others.

My kids have all Judy Moody and Stink books. They love them, and I know for the fact that they help kids who struggle with reading in 3rd grade. They are easy to read and have a good story, are funny and appealing to that age group. A must have!

This book was good. My favorite part was when she hits the teacher's elbow. That made me laugh!

judy moody always wants to be in the news paper or on tv. judys cat won the pet contest and she finnaly was in the news paper.she was happy after all of that.when judy got home she looked in the news paper.she said thats a get picture of me and my cat.

i liked this book because stink was funny by selling moon dust.

the thing i dont like this book was judy always wined.

I thought this book was a bomb! You have got to read this book. If you are a Judy Moody fan and you read this book you will like it very much.The main thing that happens is Judy Moody is trying to get famous.

I bought the book after seeing it profiled in Newsweek, more out of curiosity than out of some deep seated problems with my kids. I have a 5 yr. old, and she's pretty easy going, the 2yr. old is also mellow. However, I had the usual battles over showers, bedtime, brushing teeth etc. that make parenting so frustrating and that suck the joy out of every day family dynamics. I started implementing the ideas as I read them, and I have to say that applying the method just once a week has worked amazingly well. The rules set for one day a week spill over to the rest of the week, and it has really made parenting a lot more enjoyable. Before, I thought that my interactions with my children were limited to hammering them about things they needed to do, and now, it's almost as if there's more time to do fun things because their responsibilities are accomplished without struggles. In a nutshell, my daughter has become aware that the better she behaves, the more rewards she gets, in little material rewards, and more importantly, positive attention. I'm a believer. I enthusiastically recommend it.

This is a wonderfully helpful book on behavior modification in children and, for that matter adolescents, teens and adults, All new parents should read this before their child is at the stage when behavior has to be modified !

There are three things that parents need to know about this book.

1) the methods described here have been extensively researched for several decades by one of the world's very best and most dedicated scientists. When Kazdin talks about the value of punishment versus rewards, for example, or how to make punishment more effective, there is deep knowledge and science behind his suggestions.

2) the book is for parents - not teachers, therapists, or academics - it is directly relevant for everyday parenting.

3) it works. Use the methods and techniques in this book and your child's behavior will improve ... and just as important, your relationship with him or her will improve.

And finally, the book is quite comprehensive. It covers the typical situations such as refusing to do homework, the the less common ones of how to deal with joint custody. Or how to deal with pre-adolescents differently from adolescents, etc. Or how to enlist teachers, babysitters and others so that you are all giving your child the same message.

Buy this book, but more importantly ... use it. It will make a real difference.

This book would be excellent for teachers as well as parents who want to help children develop the habit of good behavior. The method spells out how exactly to institute a positive-reinforcement rewards program to turn around a child's behavior. Kazdin gives specific scenarios, graphics to show how to make a chart, and even gives you a kind of script of what to say (which is really great for those of us who are not naturals). He says the research shows that it really only takes a few weeks of intensive work to create a good behavior habit.

parts of his method (like a rewards chart) will sound familiar to anyone who's worked with kids, but he says the key is in following the method to the tee. It's based on years of behavioral research. How can you knock it?

I really wish he'd published this book a few years ago when I was teaching very badly behaved and underprivileged kids in a bad neighborhood. I think it could make a big difference in such schools if teachers had this tool.

(Hey, Dr. Kazdin! How about giving your book to all teachers in schools that are failing the No Child Left Behind standards? It'd be a godsend.)

This book has turned around our three and four year old children. I wake up now to happy kids who want to get up and get ready for the day and go places. We have gone from feeling like we are on a parental battleground for tasks just to get out the door to having mutually rewarding relationships and conversations with our kids. Mom and Dad are happier and feel more in control of our lives. The book teaches PROVEN research how to get the behaviors we need and want in our kids. It works. If only the court systems, social services, lawyers, and judges would read it and recommend it!

Avery Andrews has recently returned to Dacus, SC, after working in a large law firm in Columbia, SC. She was fired, so she's trying to decide what to do next. In the meantime she's living in the family cabin and doing some legal work in town.

Her client, Donlee Griggs, is accused of murder. While they're dragging the lake for his victim's body, they find a car with a skeleton in it. This has nothing to do with the crime he is accused of. Soon Avery realizes that Donlee has told everyone he is in love with her and makes many spectacular suicide attempts to get her attention.

She is hired by Harrison Garnett, owner of Garnett Mills a local furniture plant, related to environmental concerns. Not long after the environmental investigator arrives in town to check out the plant, there is a fire at the plant destroying records. Now the environmental investigator is back with the feds along. Avery wonders what they're after.

Her other client is Melvin Bertram. He'd left town amidst scandal years ago when his wife went missing. He is back visiting his brother for the holidays. The car found in the lake was his wife's, and he fears the skeleton was her, too. He asks Avery's advice and has her accompany him for questioning.

Can Avery figure out who killed Melvin's wife and who torched Garnett Mills without putting herself in danger?

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading many more adventures with Avery. She is such a likeable character. Very down to earth, but a smart lawyer as well. I like the dilemma she's having with staying in her hometown or going to a bigger city again. It really gives us a glimpse of the character and not just her sleuthing skills.

I like all the quirky smalltown characters. They really add to the story.

I highly recommend this book.

I keep looking for cozy mysteries that make me laugh like the Stephanie Plue series does. This is the second book that I ordered based on reviews that it was laugh out loud funny. I didn't think so.
That said, this is a good story and Avery is a likable character. I'd enjoy getting to know her in future books.

What a delightful little mystery this is, with authentic dialogue, just the right amount of humor, vivid characters who come from all socioeconomic levels, and a very satisfying conclusion. But it did leave me concerned about Avery Andrews eating habits.

Avery Andrews, fired by her law firm after exploding at her own witness, returns home in disgrace. However, she soon gets involved in legal problems of the locals, which begin trivially but soon find her dealing with arson and murder. Avery deals with a colorful cast of characters, most of whom date back to her own high school days, as she solves her legal cases and realizes she just be stumbling onto a second, unexpected career.

I gave this book five stars because it delivers just what's promised: a small-town regional cozy. If you liked the Maggody series, you'll probably like Southern Fried, although Maggody's characters are so broad they come close to parody. Here they're just this side of southern plausible.

As other reviewers noted, Southern Fried is remarkably professional for a first novel. Dialogue is crisp and believable. Pickens maintains a brisk pace. Transitions are smooth and settings described economically.

As a career consultant, I have to say that I did raise an eyebrow about the heroine's past and future. The only lines that didn't ring true were Avery's musings over being unemployable. It's hard to find a more marketable field than law. Avery was fired but not disbarred. She could do free lance legal research or hang out her shingle anywhere she could pass the bar exam. She could teach business law.

But that's a mere quibble, and Avery's fiery exit from her law firm seems to fit the mood of the book. I hope to read more from this author .

This is a regional cozy mystery, set in a small South Carolina town in the foothills of the Appalachians. The main character is Avery Andrews, recently fired from a big city law firm when she starts to attack her own witness (who is perjuring himself). She goes back home to Dacus and moves into her grandfather's summer cabin (not very warm in November). She ends up taking whatever work comes her way, which involves the low life charged with minor crimes and work that comes her way from people who know her and her family. One of her clients owns a factory under investigation by the EPA. In the meantime, a rusted out old car with a body in it brings to light a murder. Does it have anything to do with the EPA case?

This mystery has a lot of Southern small town characters, but with a little more depth than the stereotypes in so many "southern" mysteries. There was some light humor, but I wouldn't call it laugh out loud funny.

I thought this book shows a lot of talent but I didn't feel it was a five-star book -- although I think this author is capable of writing a five-star book. I actually think the book would have been improved if some of the attempts at humor had been taken out and the author had simply written a small town Southern mystery.

This whimsical, quirky story about friends helping each other is great reading! The illustrations are FANTASTIC, the storyline is very engaging ... My 10-yr-old son and 7-yr-old daughter [as well as me!] absolutely love it!

Very entertaining, with a great lesson about the benefits of working as a team. You'll want to add this book to your collection.

The illustrations in this book are exceptional. There are so many 3-D details from the life-like expressions on the characters' faces (Iggy's face as he's trying to reinflate hot dogs with a bicycle pump is priceless!)to the crumbs of cheese on Gruntly's workshop floor to the labels on the jars of Iggy's buggy bits. The story line is entertaining and has a good message about the importance of working together to achieve goals, yet it isn't preachy nor does it talk down to kids. And there is just the right amount of grossness to really appeal to kids (stinky toes, bug parts, dirty socks). It's the kind of book you can read over and over and not get tired of, because you find something new each time. I bought one for my neice and my co-worker's son.

Great characters, story, and fun illustrations entertain my 4 year old daughter. Silly enough to keep me entertained through numerous bedtime readings. It has high rotation in our house.

The story is rich with details. I loved the lighthouse on the prairie. My two boys were constantly quizzing me on the sillyness. The animation is breath taking. I fell in love with Gruntly and anyone who knows me, knows I dislike mice greatly! So, when is the next one?

I have not seen a children's book with as detailed and exciting computer illustrations as this.

The guys who make Veggie Tales present Mr. Gruntly Fromage, a mouse, and the Reverend Ignatious O. Bumblesmog a frog who looks something like a snake with long wool knit socks.

In this adventure, Iggy and Gruntly work on their cheese sculptor and stinky socks.

This highly original, delightful tale mixes the gentle friendship of "Frog and Toad Together" with the silliness of Dr. Suess, with a dash of Shel Silverstein tossed in.

I fully recommend "The Great Cheese Squeeze" Bryan Ballinger and Keith Lango.

I liked this book because soccer is my favorite sport after basketball. Also the character in this story is Whisper and theres a girl in my grade with that name. Whisper plays socbowl in the story. I think thats a funny name. This was a very good book!

Wandering through the library, searching to find an interesting book, one caught my eye. It was the, The Million Dollar Kick. The book starts out in Oklahoma City. Whisper is an ordinary kid who is haunted by a mental picture of a soccer game. One afternoon Whisper took her little sister, who is an athlete, to the mall. Where her sister enters her in a contest. Where if you win you get the chance to win a million dollars by kicking a soccer ball past a famous soccer goalie. She wins, but now she has to learn how to kick a soccer ball. She thought she was toast until Ellie decided to coach her. I thought it was a great book full of action, surprise, and pure interest.

wisper nelson who lives in oklahoma she goes to the donut shop with her little siter and they see a thing that says Come Up With A Good Slogen and if they win then that person gets 1 shot to kick a soccer ball in to the goal if they mis they get a year supply of donuts if they get it in they win a million dollars but it ant that easy you need to kick it past carmen applegate the pro goal keeper. wisper wins and she doesnt want to do it but she still does it, she gets help bye this nice 11th grade soccer player when she got enough help she was going to do the kick in a day then for some rreason carmen applegate got hert so she couldnt play so wisper teacher was the goalie but wisper kicked it in she was really really really happy

The Million Dollar Kick is a great book. It is so suspenseful. You never know what she is going to do. The main character hates being the star but her sister loves it. My mom, my six year old sister and I all liked it. It is such a good book.

Genre: Fiction
Three sentence summary: In this book Whisper Nelson is chosen to kick a ball past a professional soccer player and if she makes it, she is awarded $1,000,000. There's just a little problem: she is not athletic. She has not played a sport since she was eight.

What I liked most about the book: The thing I like about this book is that Whisper has a chance to win $1,000,000.

What I didn't like and why: The only thing that I didnt like about the book was that it was about soccer and I do not like soccer very much.

My favorite character and why: Whisper Nelson because she wasn't very athletic but she still tried. (why wouldn't you if you made the goal you can win $1,000,000.)

The scene, line, or passage that meant something to me and why (page#): Well it was probably when she was getting ready to kick the goal. It's exciting to kick a ball and if you score you win $1,000,000 dollars.

What I would say about this book to someone else: That it's nice that the characters are realistic and the author Dan Gutman discribed the setting very well.

One question i have after reading this book: I wonder if the soccer player became good friends with Whisper Nelson.

My strongest reason for recommending this book: Well if you like sports you would be very interested.

It's rare to find a good mystery that also makes you laugh out loud. This series does that for me every time! Whiskey and Tonic is the best of the bunch so far. The colorful crowd who lives in Magnet Springs is back for more action.

Imagine a cursed beauty pageant (and beauty pageant winner!), plus a haunted estate that Whiskey is supposed to sell. Add to that mix Abra the diva dog, who steals the precious beauty pageant tiara before taking off with a love of her own. And then there's Whiskey's crush on a Southern gentleman who may or may not be in love with Whiskey's stepdaughter. Lots of complications, surprises and giggles. You'll want to savor every laugh at the same time you find yourself racing toward the thrilling conclusion.

With each new mystery in this series, I become a bigger fan of Nina Wright. Anyone who has ever laughed at (or groaned about) the behavior of an actual dog will love the canine and human characters in the Whiskey Mattimoe mysteries. WHISKEY AND TONIC features not only Abra the diva Afghan hound and her usual co-stars Roscoe the K9 cop and Mooney the Rott hound (Rottweiler/Bloodhound mix), but it also introduces Norman the Golden, Abra's true mate. Watching them romp together makes poor Whiskey feel lonelier than ever! And of course there's a bang-up mystery, to boot. This one concerns a jinxed property that may have something to do with Whiskey's late husband and the deaths of several beauty queens. Wright manages to be spooky, suspenseful, and humorous all in one book. Bravo!

I have read all of the Whiskey books and can hardly wait for the next one they are great reads. I love the afghan hound Abra she is such a diva and is so funny. Nina Wright really captures the spirit of the hound. All of her books are great reads. They are great page turners and the story lines are terrific. Once you read one of these books you will want to read all of them

The third installment of the Whiskey Mattimoe series is every bit as fast paced as the first two. These books seem to move along quickly & enjoyably. Whiskey easily pulls in the reader & is hard to dislike. This time, I enjoyed the mystery more than the first two. The plot centers on a cursed house, so there was somewhat of a supernatural twist that I enjoyed. I am waiting anxiously for "Whiskey & Water," the fourth installment.

Whiskey Mattimoe could be me. It seems as though whatever she does, no matter how good the intention, something goes wrong. From showing her old bra to TRYING to keep her dog from stealing purses and tieras, things just seem to go awry for her. When she is given the opportunity to sell an expensive HAUNTED mansion, she has some concern, but forges ahead. Wonderful characters who feel like real old friends pepper this exciting novel with fun and frolic! And, you will never believe how it all ends! Hold on for a fun ride. I know you will enjoy it!
