I bought this wanting the story, but dreading the pre-teen level of writing. I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing and research done for this story. This really is a terrific book, well written, well researched and the author clearly knows horses and horse behavior. I'm recommending it to my adult friends!

I am the Great Horse is a GREAT read! Roberts brings history to life and masterfully enters the mind of the great horse, Bucephalus. Anyone who loves horses and longs to understand them better will treasure this book.

This story made me cry especially in the ending. I wont tell you why but I fell in love with Bucephalas and found his "bond" with Charm and Alexander amazing. The endinding will leave you in tears and shock. It portrays horses so realistically you will love it i gurentee it!!!!

I really loved this book. In the begining I had alittle doubt I kept trying to compare it to the black beauty type of writing. But it is a beautiful way to tell history as well as fiction. Apart from that it is in some areas very funny. In the horse mind and what is more important to him. You will not regret buying this book.

I knew the story about Bucephalus before the movie "Alexander" came and sold out the box office. "Bucephalus, meaning strong and stubborn," he had said while mounting the stallion. A true story of how the brave 12 year old boy ruled the horse and charged him into battle. Now, this fiction story is a real page turner. If you like horses, black stallions, and adventure, then "I am the Great Horse" is the book for you!

Auschwitz and its siblings produced victors and victims. Hitler and his kind produced demons and angels.

In the first part of The i Tetralogy we meet the rectum. He has long since lost his identity, tied as he is to Gunther the god of his world who has driven out the God of his youth. He is a slave, a dying collection of parts seeping, weeping and oozing from miserable life into living death.

All around him the rectum of the now becomes the brother, father, uncle and son of the night when the camp is silent and the ghosts beside him whisper in the darkness and relish their few hoarded crumbs of wormy, hard bread, the food that keeps them alive while they fester and suppurate and nurture a waning spark of intellect and philosophy, belief and humanity until the harsh, cold light of morning throws them back into the pits to work and await their turn to be released from the mindless and endless trenches and latrines beneath Gunther's polished leather boots, serpentine whip and cruel gloved hands that probe their souls with studied, graceful cruelty. They long for the release of death even as they cling with waning hope to life and dreams of freedom.

Years later Gunther stalks the streets of Minneola, New York far from his glory days under Hitler ever vigilant for any break in his cover that might brand him a war criminal, a designation he gleefully spurns, his defense always ready to hand. In his eighties, married to a shell of a woman he hollowed out decades before, sire of two sons he never fathered and secure in his memories of the good old days when he was a god, he relives his past in the basement of his bland American Cape Cod home through the trains that chug and cross the land of his youth and power carrying more Jews to the ovens and to his trenches and latrines. He wants to be discovered even as he carefully conceals himself behind a stolen name and fabricated life.

What is so disturbing about Freese's stories is not the horror of the camps or the soul wrenching tale of stolen lives and dreams plundered and hollowed out by Gunther's relentless hunt for the Jewishness of the Jewish soul, but the seductive and rational explanations Gunther gives for his actions. There is a kind of truth and honesty about Gunther's philosophy and reasoning that makes his deeds all the more horrific because they resonate in some dark corner of the mind and soul. Even as the poisonous seeds find fertile ground, they waken a moral sensibility that forcibly expels them in outraged denial. This is how Hitler, that pied piper of Germany, wove his magical snare to catch the hearts and minds of a nation and moved them beyond the confines of reason and morality into the dangerous territory where people become things and foul, unspeakable acts of inhumanity, the final solution that paved the road to hell on earth.

Freese weaves a dark tapestry of the soul that echoes inside of each of us and wakens not an impersonal evil but an all too human Beast with the face and manner of a hollow Hero.

Genre: Literary/Historical Fiction

Title: The i Tetralogy

Author: Mathias B. Freese

History forgotten is history repeated-Enlightening yet frightening, The I Tetralogy will haunt you like no other book.

Author, Mathias Freese is not only a brilliant literary genius; he has an uncanny ability to explore the depths of madness like no other. Set in the German camps during WW II, prisoners and guards alike live a surreal existence never before experienced. Gunther, Karl, Gertrud and the other cruel and sadistic guards take great pleasure in sucking the very essence from the Jews in the prison camp as they slowly exterminate them. The prisoners learn to become non-existent or die. The four separate stories give different points of view by characters each believing their truth is the only truth; first the prisoner then the guard, each one living their own personal hell. We read how an older Gunther yearns for the days in the camp. Readers look at Gunther the parent, through the eyes of his son who feels remorse, guilt and horror at his father's acts.

The i Tetralogy is an in depth look at the mind of the Holocaust victims, both prisoner and prison guard that takes the reader beyond any boundaries previous presented. Readers are embroiled in the thought processes of man slowly going mad in often frightening clarity. The author seems to reach out and tenaciously grasp the reader's emotions by the heart, causing intense empathy with the characters.

This book would be an excellent textbook for both history and psychology majors. Educators would find it a profound and in depth study of the workings of the human psyche as well as sociological influences on human behavior. It is also an excellent historical fiction that readers will not forget.

Highly Recommended by Reviewer: Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews.

in a time when genocides are happening in the sudan and parts of burma and north korea a book like this seems more relevant then ever. too often the nazi attrocities are glossed over as in movies like schindlers list and downfall. this book hits you in a gutteral way that all americans should experience. too many of us are oblivious to the plight of unfortunites in those countries as well as in our own. a great read overall.

Review by William Phenn for Reader Views (1/06)

"Here we are, another Holocaust book", you ask? Not really, this one is not just a journal of what happened and how. This 365 page book is a psychological thriller. It takes you into the mind of the hunter and his prey. You are privy to the thoughts of a prisoner in the camp, his anguish, his fears, his hopelessness. "The I Tetralogy" takes you for a walk within the soul of one condemned. One that refers to himself as Rectum, for that is how he truly feels. Freese takes you through this one man's hell, shows you what it was
like to live the life of a Jew in the camp.

From that, to another section in the book where you, the reader, are drawn inside of Gunther, the ruthless guard. Freese makes you a part of this creature, you feel his disgust for the Jews. You begin to understand what drive, what motivation Gunther had for performing such sadistic acts upon the prey. Freese gives you many instances where Gunther and his fellow guard Karl, practice their art upon the poor prisoners.

The remainder of the book deals with Gunther in America. Though he knows he must keep it hidden, his loathing of the Jews continues. He is amused and amazed at how easily it is to hide in the open in America.

"The i Tetrology" was both an interesting and boring read. I say interesting in the fact that it was presented with a different angle, Freese actually took the reader into the mind of the prisoner and the guard. I'm sure Freese's PhD in Psychotherapy aided him in this endeavor. On the boring side, yes, it was another Holocaust book. Although it was presented well, the Jew bashing that occurs within the mind of the guard is a bit overdone. That is just this reviewer's knowledgeable opinion.

The i Tetralogy ~ Mathias B. Freese ~ Hats Off Books ~ History: Fiction

Combining true to life characters, believable settings and a peek into the psychology of all those involved, The i Tetralogy provides a descriptive, disturbing and graphic account of fictional history.

The i Tetralogy, consists of four volumes; i, I am Gunther, Gunther's Lament and Gunther Redux. Written from the perspective of three key characters; the Jewish prisoner, the executor and the murderer's son, this is a bleak, but powerful and graphic fictional perspective of the effect the Holocaust had on each character. It also focuses on the legacy it left behind.

Beginning in Europe in the mid-1940's, we visit the grim, weary life of a death camp prisoner as he silently digs the latrines, deprived of the dignity and humanity he was once accustomed to. This is a heart-rending account of one man's inner strength and resilience, despite a weak and decaying body; and how he learns ways of being vigilant and obedient in order to avoid death.

When volume two, I am Gunther, begins, the reader will be taken aback with the change of attitude. Seeing life as a German guard, Gunther, debating the suffering and cruelty he subjects the prisoners to, on behalf of his country. Yet among his ludicrous beliefs and ideals of superiority, one can't help, at times, feeling sorry for him, as a lost human being stuck in a world gone mad.

Half a century later, Gunther's Lament, follows the aging Nazi, Gunther, to a suburban town on Long Island. Here we explore deeper into his wrecked and warped mind as he struggles to come to terms with his very existence, without the security the war gave him as a German guard with power.

In Gunther Redux, the story continues as it investigates the views and thoughts of his son Conrad, who is tormented by his father's 'previous life' and burdened by the damaging truths of what really went on inside the death camps.

It is hard for the human mind to comprehend the full horror of the Holocaust. Telling the story through three key characters, however, provides a vivid insight into this inexplicable and shocking period of history. When I finished the book I found myself asking all sorts of questions; how did the dominant and brutal leader, Hitler, convince the Germans that they were the superior and most powerful race with such devastating effectiveness? Why did they believe in him? Can ordinary people be convinced to accept instructions to behave without decency and humanity under the right circumstances? Although this is a work of fiction, the characters are extremely true to life. The setting is so believable it almost reads like an autobiography of these three different people, making it an astounding, descriptive piece of well written prose.

The final section titled Raison d'Etre provided many answers to my questions, whilst giving me a greater understanding of Mathias B Freese's personal views and the psychological terror of all involved during (and after) this disturbing period of history.

alternative-read reviews

This book is a gold mine of hints on everything from dealing with laundry and household stains to how to pack for a trip. After receiving the book, I immediately ordered three more copies for my college-age children. I highly recommend this book!

This book should be part of every households library. That includes you bachelors Everything I try from this book has worked perfectly and is very easy to follow. I originally bought a copy for my newly married daughter but after really studying it before I wrapped it I went out and bought one for our house as well.

No self-respecting reference library would be caught dead without this valuable and practical guide. Anyone who lives indoors should own this.

Everyone should own this reference guide. I have given this book to many of my friends and they have thanked me profusely. They find themselves reaching for it often. All are pleased to own such a reference for their home. I strongly recommend this author and title for purchase. You won't be disappointed.

I don't know I managed my home before this book. It has an answer for every problem or situation I've encountered. I wouldn't want to be without it!

About 7 years back I went to a one day Triathlon camp out on Long Island and old Phil gave a talk. I am the type who will try anything if it makes some sense. I bought his books there and immediately started training with the 180-age formula and low heart rate method. I had been running triathlon for 2 years prior to using this method and there was no comparison in my level of fitness. I ran my first 1/2 Ironman (long course) and while I cut myself short on calories, I completed the race in a respectable amount of time. The proof was the next day; Even though I swam, cycled, and ran over 70 miles in a period of 6 hours, I had not one ounce of soreness the next day. Not one pain, cramp, pull or anything else that many experience with a race of this magnitude. I used his method religiously for 3 months prior to that race and have done so ever since. For those of you who do not do any kind of racing, improve your health by reading this book. You will find that many of the things that they are coming out with now (harmful transfats to name one), Phil Maffetone had been talking about for years. Skeptic's get there fuel from resentment; don't let others sway you away from living a healthy physical life style. By this book and keep it close at hand.

This book changed my life! It gave me a whole new perspective on exercising and fitness. Most importantly that exercise is not a goal (to lose pounds), it is a WAY OF LIFE!!!

Basically it taught me that if you want to feel and be healthy... you really need to be exercising regularly for the rest of your life. It helped me understand metabolism and how exercise affects your whole system. I am constantly seeing health experts and trainers making many of the mistakes this book talks about, namely exercising to meet your target heart rate, building aerobic muscles vs. anaerobic muscles, etc.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS I OWN. I am constantly lending it out to people, or at least telling people I will lend it to them when i get it back from the last person I lent it to! :)

This information in this book radically changed my outlook on exercising. Before I read this book I would jump rope for 15 minutes every morning. Then spread out through the week I would go on high intensity bike rides 4-5 days a week, weight lift 4 days a week, and do high intensity martial arts training 4-5 days a week. I though I was performing mostly aerobic exercise with the exception with the wieghtlifting. After reading his book I discoved that since all my activities were of high intensity I was mostly peforming anerabic exercise. The information in the book also explained why my body was so resistent to weight loss(adrenal exhuastion) and why I was getting injured on a regular basis.

This book sheds a bright light of truth on many of the myths and marketing ploys used in the food industry today. Furthermore, Dr. Maffetone's writing style is clear and he provides ample supporting data and references for his assertions. I have been following the "Maffetone Method" of fitness and nutrition for 9-months. Close friends and relatives see a measurable difference in me - weight loss, more energy and a youger complexion. Additionally, I have less aches and pains, and have greatly improved my aerobic endurance. Finally, this book is especially important for parents who care about their children's nutrition. You might be surprised to know that the glass of juice and bowl of fortified cereal with low-fat milk you fed your child this morning is causing them to fall asleep in class...

This book has changed my eating habits - hopefully forever. Dr. Maffetone writes in an easily understandable style. Being freed of my Carbohydrate addiction is the best thing that ever happened to my diet.

Unlike many books about the Holocaust this one is truly different in its ending. Suffuring a fate like the Jewish in WWII is not imaginable and this books takes you to a girl and the trials she faced trying to survive and stay connected with her family. This books is an inspiring story of a young girl who tries to survive the terrible fate of her people while trying to stay with her family and the repercussions of this horrible time will never be healed. Although Inge does not get to finish the book herself, her nephew does a great job finishing where she left off. If you like emotional stories that suck you in and you don't want to put the book down, you will love this book!

I won't go into a synopsis since the readers before me have very detailed ones.
I checked this one out from the local library. I could not put it down. I was able to finish in 2 days. I found myself following her on her journey. The book is very well written and really involves the reader in what life may have been like for her. I am purchasing this one to keep on my shelf. Definitely worth reading and rereading.

Most books on the Holocaust reflect the horrible trials of those murdered or sent to Concentration Camps. This is a story of a young girl sent by her family to Belgium from Germany before the war. She is tossed into the whirlwind of war and her separation from her family is greatly traumatic for her. She faces her difficult teen years as a refugee in Southern France. The North of France is occupied by the Nazis, who ultimately control the French Government, both north and south. Each year she grows closer to her 18th birthday, she is painfully aware of the French laws will allow her to be turned over to the Nazis and deported. She is not alone in her travail. This story tells of the genuine goodness of those who helped shelter her and get her and many of her friends to Switzerland. There is love, loss and decency. A really different prospective. Should be read by all.

Much has been written about the millions who were murdered during the Nazis' Holocaust bestiality yet we know less about the effect on thousands of child survivors who suffered separation from family, deprivation and often multiple escapes during World War II. In "Inge" author Gumpert vividly portrays the anxieties and trauma of an innocent young girl under the duress of separation, escape and living on the margin. Inge discovers herself and turns from introvert to courageous escape artist, outwitting adult persecutioners. We also learn about selfless and heroic rescuers. It is fascinating to discover her interactions with peers and even the advent of teenage love during her turbulent youth.

The book vividly presents the gripping dangers and escapades of Inge's teenage years. Even more important, the author reveals Inge's lifelong and unsuccessful struggle to cope with the memories. One feels the author has perhaps finally provided the peace and redemption which escaped Inge during her lifetime.

As a fellow teenage refugee with Inge in 1940-41 (her first love was my best friend Walter), I knew the facts, but I am deeply moved by the compelling story told by this book.

This book takes you into the life of Inge Joseph who lived threw the Holocaust, but ultimitly could not get past it.

Inge Joseph was born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1925. She had an older sister and loving parents. When she was young Hitler took power and her life changed. In 1936 her father got arrested and shortly afterwards her sister then 16 went to live in America eventually living in Chicago.

Inge and her mother remained in Darmstadt with the help of her father's wealthy cousin. During this time however Inge left Darmstadt and went to live with her cousin in Belgium. After only living with him a short time he and his wife sent her to live in a hostil run by Mr. and Mrs. Frank (no relation to Anne.) After living there a while, the Nazis invaded Belgium and the Franks sent the girls to France with a group of boys from another hostil in the town they lived in.

The 100 kids went to France and stayed in a barn for a while, until the Swiss Red Cross got involved helping them with food, and finding them a castle to live in.

Life was not easy in the barn or castle, but Inge and some of her friends found love. During the time in the castle the oldest of the children were arrested and sent to a concentration camp, but managed to go back to Chateau le Haille (the castle). Several months later the person in charge decided that the oldest ones needed to escape.

After a failed escape leading to the deaths of Inge's friend and boyfriend Inge made it to Switzerland and finally to the United States to reunite with her father and sister.

Inge tried to get over her experiences, married a Austrian Jew and adopted a daughter named Julie, and also became a nurse. Unfortunitly she was not able to and became addicted to medication that caused her to die in 1983.

A very interesting story, one can't forget

I've read everything that I could on Jackie Wilson.the Man was something else in His Prime but sadly hasn't gotten His Full Due as a Artist to me overall.The Man knew how to Rock a Stage&was in Groove.but there was the Business which was Controled then as it is now by Payola&Scandal&at the End of the Day the Artist that has brought so Much Joy to so many People is the last Person Paid&Respected.this Book Explores many Aspects of His Career&Life.Ups&downs.it's a Great Inside Reflection of the Business.Much Props to Tony Douglas.RIP Jackie Wilson.

Mr. Excitement was really exciting!! Very good book

Singer Jackie Wilson was one of the finest singing talents of the century, but he suffered from chronic addictions and his career was controlled by the Mob. This biography of his life, work and achievements chronicles the accomplishments of a man who was buried in a paupers grave, yet at his peak achieved 24 top 40 hits in the U.S. An involving coverage of a talented yet tormented performer.

This book is unique. I've read books about Jackie LeRoy Wilson but this book by far is the best i've read. It cuts right to the chase and gives you information that's clear and not a run around. Also, gives you some pictures of Jackie that are in color. I recommend this book.

Tony Douglas' book, "Jackie Wilson:The Man, The Music, The Mob," far surpasses Mr. Douglas' talents. Mr. Douglas' book, "Jackie Wilson: Lonely Teardrops," was fantastic and now Mr. Douglas comes back with an even greater book. For the people who never knew Jackie they can now educate themselves on this exceptional man and find out why Jackie was, "Mr. Excitement." Mr. Douglas did years of research and has covered a lot of ground work. He has talked to the people that knew Jackie and loved him. This is an exceptional book taken from the heart of one man.

Mr. Douglas went a step further he spoke with one of the bravest woman of Jackie's life, Freda Wilson, Jackie's wife of 13 years. She sacrificed it all for Jackie to be a star. Jackie was the greatest R & B artist that ever lived and if he had survived he would have blown everyone away with his astonishing talent and charisma. He was the one and only, "Mr. Excitement."

I waited for this book to be published for months and I wasn't disappointed! Barb gives detailed, clear instructions and drawings. Gorgeous pictures that are close-up to see the stitching. The book is of exceptional quality and very inspirational. A must have book for both the novice and the experienced temari stitcher.

I've been stitching temari, as well as other needle crafts for years. This is by far one of the loveliest instructional books I've ever read. The instructions are clear and concise, good for beginners and well as experienced stitchers. It is also lovely as a coffee table book...great photos and water color art.

I saw this book on display at my local library and checked it out on a whim. I wanted to renew it, but someone had a "hold" on it, so here I am at Amazon because I had to have my own copy! I had never seen or heard of Temari and now I am hooked. This book is beautiful and the intructions are clear enough for a complete beginner like me. The pages are durable and the book lays flat for easy access. I just finished my 7th ball and my sister and daughter made their own balls when they saw mine. I enthousiastically recommend this book, but prepare to be addicted.

This is a BEAUTIFUL temari book! For folks new to the art of temari this book is a complete introduction. For temari artists it is great inspiration! The temari shown are beautifully stitched. The photos are excellent. The directions are easy to follow. Give it a try and be prepared to be addicted to Temari.

This is a great book for the novice stitcher as well as the experienced one. Barb's directions are clear and easy to follow. Her sidebar comments about Temari are what set this book apart from the rest. Her passion for this art comes through with every word.

this book is about the twins first trip to coventry island,their birthplace.it's excellently written.you can almost feel that you're on the island.there are some really sereious parts, like karsh's funeral, the first time cam and alex visit lunasoliel,and the battle with the furies. but, like any other twiches book there are plenty of hilarious parts. like when the twins go to afamily dinner at crailmore and turn their cousin vey into a frog. also,there are chapters where ileana is reading karsh's journal,and you get a peek into the details of an ancient curse.definetley recommended reading.

The twins are on their was to Conventry Island.....and it is to go to Karsh's funeral. Their guardian is a mess and some people do not welcome the twins. The twins have to save a friend of theirs from the Three Furies and will Alex save Cam in time? Also, we find out why Thantos dumped Ileana when she was a baby. Read the book and find out!

I started reading this books series T*Witches in about January of 2003. I think this is the BEST book series I have ever read. It has romance, adventure, and much, MUCH more! I recomend this book series to people who LOVE to read about witches, spells, mystery, adventure. When I started reading this book series, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out!!! (This book series is the best series I have ever read. It'll be a BIG waste if you don't read this series.)

The book that I read was the series of T-Witches. But the specific book that I read was the seventh book in the series. I absolutely love these books because the story is about twins and I'm a twin. Another reason I like it is because you never know what will happen next then about the witches. The points in the book are very exciting. All the spooky things that happen are very interesting. They capture your eye. The book talked about witches and how they deal with life. It was very interesting to see a day in the life of the witches of Camryn and Alexandra. They deal with special powers they have been given from the day they were born. Like I said before I ABSOLUTELY love these series of books. I would recommend these series to anyone who likes drama, romance, action, witches, and their types of spells and their powers. I hope you consider this book to read. You will love it the first time you open the book. You'll get hooked!

I've been reading these books since they began and they're the best. I especially loved the seventh book because of what happened in it. It's really mysterious and exciting with a whole new bad guy! It's also in a new setting. For people who like romance and enchantment this is the best book ever! I can't wait to see what will happen to Cam and Alex (incidentally my name is Alexandra!) next. T*WITCHES are the best!

I've read dozens of WWII books and this is one of the best! There is nothing quite like reading about Great Americans' experiences in their own words. They answered the call, did their duty and risked their lives every day to protect their Country and our way of life. Now everyone can find out what it was like in graphic detail. This is the first book written by Brooks Mitchell that I have read and I look forward to reading his other works.

My father was the pilot in this book and he passed away prior to it's being published. I can only read a few pages at a time as the emotion of the events wells up very quickly. It is a wonderful look into one airplane crew from different individual perspectives as they faced each mission not knowing what they were to encounter. My father would be proud!! They were good Americans applies to the ones who gave their lives and the ones who made it to tell their stories. God Bless You

My Dad is 79. He was in the Army Air Corp and Air Force from 1944 to 1949. He now spends much of his day reading and, on occasion, still enjoys assemblng a WWII model airplane. He does not have the same eye for detail and the dexterity he once had, but the pleasure of his hobby remains. I gave my Dad Kipling's Error III as a gift. His emotional response and heartfelt appreciation was my gift. He enjoyed the sensitive writing style and personal diaries with a tear in his eye and a flood of memories. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Brooks Mitchell and Capt. Lloyd Mitchell for kindly and respectfully honoring and remembering our veterans. Thank you.

Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (3/06)

Brooks Mitchell, PhD, wrote this biography about his father, a B-17 navigator of Kipling's Error III, and his crew's 25 combat missions that took place over Europe during World War II. Mitchell gathered his information from diaries written by his father and four of his crewmen. He also used a taped interview with his father that his daughter created while she was doing a high school paper. There are also vintage photographs that bring the stories more vividly alive.

Through this story, Brooks achieves his goal of preserving the experiences of these crewmen during the time of war. The reader learns about the difficult times that these men experienced while they were stationed in Snetterton-Heath England. "Kipling's Error III" provides excellent insights into what these brave men had to sacrifice during their time of serving our country. Because the information was taken from some of the crewmen's personal diaries, the reader gets to see life as it really was during this time. Every aspect of the men's lives is covered.

This book provides so much more rich detail, than a traditional history book. When Captain Lloyd Mitchell wrote in his diary, "They were good Americans," he was referring to friends of his who were killed during a raid into the Third Reich. He had to help clean up their remains. By learning about the war from the experiences of these men, the reader is able to see the full range of emotions that they had to deal with while they were at war and then the personal issues they faced being so far away from their family and friends.

I highly recommend this book to World War II fans. Reading through the diary entries and seeing the photographs will really make you feel like you are present. Passing on this story also an important way to preserve this historical experience of American men who were truly, "good Americans."

Drawing from flight crew diaries and enhanced with vintage photographs, Kipling's Error III: They Were Good Americans is the story of the men who flew a B-17 Flying Fortress on twenty-five successful raids over enemy occupied Europe. Striking out from their base in Snetterton-heath, England, these were men who were put through every possible human emotion in a bloody and savage aerial war that included bravery, terror, duty, patriotism, love and hate. The author, Brooks Mitchell , is the eldest of three sons of Captain Lloyd Mitchell who served as the navigator of Kipling's Error II and has provided an invaluable contribution to the growing library of World War II aviation combat histories. Kipling's Error III is impressively informative, exceptionally well edited and written, very highly recommended reading for military buffs, and a core addition to academic and community library World War II Military Studies reference collections.

Toby is the coolest boy because he knows everything and he always saves the girls. I want to go with him on a big advenure so he can save me too. I learned how to draw Toby too because he teaches me that in the back of the book.

Hello. This book is fabulous. I have two boys and I am also a homeschool instructor. I created a lesson plan based on the Toby Digz books and now it has been thrown into our weekly studies.
The publisher of this series seems to have discovered what boys today are looking for because every child in my class adores these characters. (The girls love it too, especially due to the fact that Lauren Lane, Toby's friend is a smart homeschooled girl. Keep these coming, and tell the publisher we need activity books based on the stories.
Ava Warnick

Hooray! My kids love this little boy with the James Bond gadgets. I am pleased with this series. The kids can't get enough. If you are a parent looking for that new book, one that will excite your child and make them WANT to read, then this is your series! We love Toby Digz.

It's about time. My children are smart kids. I have always had a difficult time finding chapter books they would actually engage in, but this new series hit the mark, Toby Digz is a great character and I was so impressed with the format of the book.
The author has gone out of his way to obviously keep the kids interested. When you reach the last pages, there are all sorts of unique charts and games. This man know his audience well! Good job Tommy Nelson! Keep them coming.

I love the Toby Digz books! This book was so fun it made me want to learn more about Egypt. Thanks for writing these books and please write more!!
