A little baby boy born and abandoned simply for the color of his skin, begins life. Never getting the love and affection needed and desired for growth, this little boy was truly alone. Years of abuse took their toll on his body and though confused by it, he dealt with it. The toll on his mind was another matter. It would be years before he could harness the anger, frustration and confusion. With help, he will work through much of the mental anguish. The question remains, will he find love? A story of survival at the most basic levels. Mr. Wheeler allows us to take the journey through his past and his mind, with him. This book is not for the meek or those who have never suffered. This book is, however, a testament to the strength within us all but is rarely touched. You will be changed after you read this book. I do recommend it. Highly. I found no issues. I gave this book 5 cheers out of 5 because it really is an horrific journey of truth.

Since Isaac is now a "tween", his younger brother Aaron has taken up where he left off. Aaron is a bit more thoughtful in his observations. He has a scientific approach. He helps his peers understand the duties and responsibilities adults have and what that in turn means for children. It's really well thought out. This second book is just as much fun as the first was. I'm sure your children would agree with most of what Aaron has written. Even we adults would be hard pressed to find fault with it. It really does take you back to those days when you were saying I'll do things differently with my children. LOL! Let the games begin. I found no issues. I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because I laughed out loud and remembered these from my childhood.
Isaac decided he needed to help out his peers and so he wrote this book. Isaac is certain they will benefit from his keen observations about grownups.

I'm sure you'll remember many of these issues from your own childhood. Ms Nicoll has a wonderful gem on her hands here. What a series of books this will make.

Kayla is a senior at LSU and at the top of her class. She also has two of the very best friends any young woman could ask for. Pharris and Jordan were the type of friends who didn't ask questions, they just supported their friend. Then there was Dareon. Handsome, wealthy, and about to turn pro. He was all Kayla's, at least she hoped he was. She had that feeling though, he was cheating. Now to find evidence. Captivating, erotic and dangerous, this book will keep you riveted to your seat. Just when you think you've figured everything out, a new element is added. Loved the layering Tonia did in this book. I also enjoyed the brutal honesty between the friends. Really was a testament to how much they valued their friendship. This is your next new read. The only issue I found was the prologue. It was really an unnecessary part of this book and a shame someone didn't see that before print. I gave this one 4 out of 5 cheers simply because of the prologue. You'll love the story though.

This book is a novel way to teach skills to kids. Math, Science, Art and more are all in this book. Using puppies makes it fun and interesting. The really fun part is there are activities to tie it all together. More than a story, this book is a learning experience and just keeps on giving. Your children will love having this book to learn from. Nicola Kluge, PhD did a wonderful job of incorporating everything into one book. It's not overwhelming but just enough to keep them busy for an hour or so at a time. I really love this idea. I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it really has the children's growth in mind. GET THIS ONE for the little in your life.
This trip we head to Turkey. What a colorful place that is rich in history Turkey is. We get to experience the things the people of Turkey do in a weeks time. Carole P.

It's the sequel to 'Love & Haight'. The characters are solid and the story well plotted. I love that Jarred has to balance both halves of his life. He seems to be very eager to make himself happy, but also please those he loves most. Ms. Madeley has a fantastic way of leading you through the story and giving you both sides of an issue. I adore it.
I did find one issue. The biggest secret, the wrap up of the whole book, was only given 15 pages. I felt it minimized the importance of this part of the book. It really gave me a feeling of being let down. I gave this one 3 out of 5 cheers for the issue above. This is a terrific book though.
It was the 1960's and Solomon King was the first in his Irish family to attend college. When he won the scholarship, it was even more amazing. Now off to America to learn and study.

Suddenly it all came together for them and back to the UK they went. Life would soon change forever. If you are looking for a book with romance and the true message of the 60's.. this is it! Well written, this book is a guided tour through the heart of two young people and the 60's as they saw them. Characters you could find in any poster of the time period, you'll fall in love with them. I read right through this book 3 times. It was that terrific. I did find one small issue. It does bog down in spots and seems to take awhile to get back on track, but other than that, it's a fantastic read. I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it gave me a new perspective of the 1960's.
