One of the few textbooks I bothered to keep after college. It's that good.

Detailed and moving. Cooney does a great job of getting inside the heads of five six characters via their diaries, an assignment for English class.

One of the earliest ghostwritten books, when they were still pretty good. Lisa finds a special Thanksgiving project in her favourite horse, Pepper.

Wonderful second graphic novel in the Baby-Sitters Club series, illustrated by cartoonist Raina Telgemeier. As she did in the first graphic novel, Telgemeier captures the spirit of four lively, determined adolescent girls while updating the original 80s material (for example, fake phone numbers no longer begin with "KL5"). Note that the second book in the original series, Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls, will NOT be published as a graphic novel; Scholastic felt that the plot was weaker than either Claudia and Mean Janine or Claudia and the New Girl, and as such, Mary Anne Saves the Day will be the next book published in the graphic novel series.

First in a short series of young adult books based on the television show. Covers the alcoholism cycle from season 3 and stays faithful to the script.

A nice look at each girl's separate backstory, in the vein of a mini-autobiography. Lisa, Stevie, and Carole each relate one of their experiences that has (almost) nothing to do with horses.

Beautifully illustrated in black-and-white with drawings of famous geographical locations.

The usual lesson, wrapped up in the cheerful cartoon package of the Berenstain Bears. The moral here is a little more overt than in some of the other books, but a useful story nonetheless.

The story that ties up the series. Better than the previous book.
Review Date: 6/30/2006
This was, in my opinion, the weakest point of the series. Necessary for continuity and finding out what happens, but not the best of the four books.
Review Date: 6/30/2006
Compulsively readable brain candy.
Review Date: 6/30/2006
If you read the first one, you'll want to pick up this one to learn what happens. Smooth, seamless continuation of the series.

This is one of the books in the 1980s cycle of the Bobbsey Twins.
Review Date: 11/13/2006
From the 1970s cycle of Bobbsey Twins books. This is #70 in the series. 72 books were written/rewritten from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Review Date: 10/7/2005
An excellent installment of the revised Bobbsey Twins series. First published at the turn of the century, the Bobbsey Twins got a makeover in the 1950s and 1960s when Stratmeyer remarked them as adventure/mystery stories rather than episodic tales. In this book, the twins and their cousin Harry find a calf, go to an auction, search for a missing bull, make some new friends, raise money for charity, and catch some thieves. Suitable for ages 5-10.

This is actually the hardcover lavender edition.
