Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith
Deborah Heiligman

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2009

Biography at it's best
What a refreshing book! After all that's been written about Charles Darwin it's hard to believe that any new slant on this genius's life could be mined. But author, Deborah Heiligman, has found her way by giving us a bird's eye view into the love story between Charles ...

Bill Martin Jr.

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1996

Great book!
Love this story. My son already had Panda Bear Panda Bear, and loved that.. We bought this one, he loves it equally as much. He is 2 and loves the animals at the end of the story, and loves that fact that he can "read" it to us after he learns the animals. Great ...

Wolf Hall: A Novel (Man Booker Prize)
Hilary Mantel

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

Accomplishes everything a great historical novel should!
"Wolf Hall" is a fabulous novel! The Tudor period of English history comes breathtakingly alive with the sounds, the colors, the textures and smells of 16th century London and its environs. Ms Mantel has ingeniously chosen one of the period's most maligned ...
  
  











  



  
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
Jacqueline Kelly

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2009

Latest Favorite
When I grew up I read "Caddie Woodlawn" over and over. As an adult I've practically worn out "A Long Way From Chicago" by Richard Peck. I loved the Little House series. When I was older I read everything L.M. Montgomery wrote and made a pilgrimage to P.E. Island. ...
  
  











  



  
Why Him? Why Her?: Finding Real Love By Understanding Your Personality Type
Helen Fisher

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

Intelligent, fun, & worth it
I really liked and enjoyed that book. I've read a couple of dating and personality books in the past and I've never been much of a fan, but her book I must admit was not painfully annoying and depressing like so many of them. It combined personal stories, biological ...
  
  











  



  
The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back (John MacRae Books)
Charles Pellegrino

Henry Holt and Co., 2010

DON'T buy this book!
This book has been completely discredited. A combination of veterans' associations, families of those directly involved in the bomb project and its deployment, as well as the Los Alamos National Laboratory (the establishment originating from the bomb project itself) ...

Brown Bear & Friends Board Book Gift Set
Bill Martin Jr., Eric Carle

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2007

Love this set!
Great books & great that they make a set like this! You can't go wrong with anything that Eric Carle writes my boys love all his books! But the board books are so durable and the size is perfect for their backpacks or my diaper bag:)
  
  











  



  
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home
Rhoda Janzen

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

Home is where they have to take you back

Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women (John MacRae Books)
Harriet Reisen

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

Best Biography of 2010!
"We predict this will be the best biography of 2010. Louisa May Alcott is fascinating and was way ahead of her time. She was the one of the few in her family of two parents and four girls who was not afraid to work and earn money. The real story behind one of the ...
  
  











  



  
The Hawk and the Dove: Paul Nitze, George Kennan, and the History of the Cold War
Nicholas Thompson

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

The "Mr. Inside" and "Mr. Outside" of U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War
As countless other reviewers have correctly noted already, this is a brilliantly written analysis of a relationship between Paul Nitze (1907-2004) and George Kennan (1904-2005), one that is juxtaposed with their individual and shared relationships with American foreign ...
  
  











  



  
Invisible
Paul Auster

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

Masterful. A Masterpiece.
He's back. Paul Auster incorporates all of his favorite themes (language, identity, reality, translation, intersecting paths of characters, literature and a literary approach, all things French, schemes, suspense, and mystery) into a new novel like and unlike his past ...
  
  











  



  
The Spire: A Novel
Richard North Patterson

Henry Holt and Co., 2009

Spire
Spire is Patterson's best book since Exile. Could not put it down. Interesting plot with one major flaw.
  
  











  



  
The Girl with Glass Feet: A Novel
Ali Shaw

Henry Holt and Co., 2010

A dark, modern fairy tale
There's a dreamlike quality to this story; it's sometimes hard to tell where reality ends and the mystical begins. Ida Maclaird is a young woman turning into glass; starting with her feet and slowly working its way upwards. Midas Crook is a lonely young man, determined ...
