I read this book once through. Took each of the practice tests. This is the only thing I used, and I passed the test. What more can be said.

When Children Love to Learn: A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason's Philosophy for Today

Crossway Books, 2004

Theory Meets Practice
This is a great book for those who are at least somewhat familiar with the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason and want to see how it looks in the home or school classroom. For those not familiar with Mason, I recommend For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer ...

The Dark Is Rising (Boxed Set): The Dark Is Rising, Greenwitch, Over Sea, Under Stone, Silver on the Tree, ...

Susan Cooper

Aladdin, 2007

Beautifully written fantasy
"The Dark Is Rising" series is a beautifully written series based on British folklore. It is a children's series, but adults with an interest in British lore will enjoy it as well. The characters are well drawn, and the rising suspense makes this a page-turner for ...

The Dark Is Rising (The Dark Is Rising Sequence)

Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 2007

Don't judge these books by the movie !!!
This series of books (especially, The Dark is Rising) is one of my favorites. The recent movie, The Seeker, based on The Dark is Rising, did not do the book justice. The moviemakers attempt to modernize the story, take out some of the mythological aspects, and add in ...

The Dark Is Rising Sequence: Silver on the Tree; The Grey King; Greenwitch; The Dark Is Rising; and Over Sea, ...

Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 1993

Wonderful, wonderful series
This series is my son's absolute FAVORITE. He's 8 and I recently decided to introduce him to the books, and he ate them up. He said he likes how the bad people aren't always perfect, and he likes the way the Drew siblings work together in OVER SEA, UNDER STONE and ...

Throw Me a Bone: 50 Healthy, Canine Taste-Tested Recipes for Snacks, Meals, and Treats

Cooper Gillespie, Susan Orlean

Simon & Schuster, 2007

Great recipes
I'm giving this dog cookbook the full 5 stars, even though I'm getting rather sick of books "written" by people's pets. The photographs are worth the price alone, but the recipes are fabulous and healthful. There's also a Table of Equivalents included in the back. ...

King of Shadows

Susan Cooper

Aladdin, 2005

For the "very special" shelf
I have a soft spot for time-travel books and have read a fair few. This one will go right to my "very special" shelf of YA books, alongside "The Dark is Rising" (which is actually better than this, but it's better than just about anything!). I read a borrowed copy in ...

Peter Pan (Aladdin Classics)

J. M. Barrie

Aladdin, 2003

The book and the movie
I love this book, but I have to admit that I watched the newest 'Peter Pan' movie, starring Jeremy Sumpter, before I actually read the classic. Although the movie including many exact or related lines right from the novel and most of the same major scenes, I found ...

Acting Out

Avi, Sharon Creech, ...

Atheneum, 2008

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
What happens when you ask six Newbery Award winners to write one-act plays? Well, you get a book like ACTING OUT, and you get the potential for a lot of fun. Award-winning authors Avi, Susan Cooper, Sharon Creech, Patricia MacLachlan, Katherine Paterson, and ...

CLEP Principles of Management (REA) - The Best Test Prep for (REA Test Preps)

John R Ogilvie, Susan T Cooper

Research & Education Association, 2005

Worth the money
I bought this book and read some every night for about 2 1/2 weeks and was a little nervous about taking the CLEP - Principles of Management. The proctor mentioned that this exam was very intense and most don't pass it. I didn't leave myself time to review any sample ...

Greenwitch (The Dark Is Rising Sequence)

Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 2007

Wonderfully spooky
This may be a book that delves into the world of Arthurian legend, but it is handled pragmatically, with all the charm Susan Cooper can usually muster. Here, Simon, Jane, and Barney are lead to the strange world of British folklore and peasantry and the odd traditions ...

Over Sea, Under Stone (The Dark Is Rising Sequence)

Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 2007

Good story, although a slow start
"Over Sea, Under Stone" is the first book in the "The Dark Is Rising" series, and it's a good start. Having said that, I'm enjoying the second book more; it's worth getting through some occasionally dry sections in this book so that you have the background you need to ...

Victory

Susan Cooper

Aladdin, 2007

A victory for Cooper
Sam Robbins is an 11-year-old ship's boy, forced from his home in England when he and his uncle are pressed into service in His Majesty's Navy in 1803. Sara Jennings is an 11-year-old girl, forced from her home in England when her mother remarries and moves the family ...

Silver on the Tree (The Dark Is Rising Sequence)

Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 2007

Changed My Life
Reading the last sentence of this book 24 years ago changed my life. BOYCOTT the travesty that is the Dark Is Rising film. Keep the pure elements of Cooper alive. The amazing tale she spun, weaving in elements of Celtic/Welsh mythology into a modern narrative leaves me ...

Classroom Teaching Skills

James M. Cooper, Susan R. Goldman, ...

Wadsworth Publishing, 2005

Excellent Tool for Teachers
This book was fabulous for my education career. It had the exact same content as the newer version, with the exception of one page. I was able to use it throughout the whole class while the rest of the students used the newer version. I am keeping it as a reference ...
