Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2)
Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Awesome! Even better than first!
I read this book after loving Eragon. I got to tell you, this book was even a little better than Eragon! It may have hit some boring parts but it was an overall great book! I really enjoyed reading it. The story continues with Eragon getting help from another dragon ...

Eragon/Eldest Trade Paperback Boxed Set
Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Stop making baseless comparisons
How does one imagine comparing Paolini, the young author of "Eragon" with the likes of Lewis and Tolkien. However, it continues to happen, unfairly, I think. The members of the Inklings were powers in their right, in other fields, before they delved into the Narnia ...

The Book Thief (Readers Circle)
Markus Zusak

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Love & Death. Hope & Despair. Utterly Remarkable.
I heard this book was for young adults, but decided to give it a try after seeing an ad in the NYT's that highlighted some glowing reviews. While the reviews got me excited to read this book, they didn't even come close to capturing how extraordinary this book is. ...
  
  











  



  
The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury: Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud
Janet Schulman

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1998

Wonderful Book!
I received this book as a gift when my boys were 17 months old and 1 month old. The are now 2 and 3, and we still read from this book just about every day. The Table of Contents suggests age groups for each story, but I have found that my kids are pretty much up for ...
  
  











  



  
The Penderwicks on Gardam Street
Jeanne Birdsall

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

The Penderwicks on Gardam Street
The Penderwicks on Gardam Street is a really good book. My eight year old daughter read it and loved it. As soon as she started reading it she could not stop. I read it and loved it too. ...
  
  











  



  
His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass) (His Dark Materials)
Philip Pullman

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Really Liked These Books
These books are well-written. The action moves fast. While they are supposedly children's books, they are definitely for mature children, and adults will find them very exciting. Some people have religious issues with the books, but this was not a problem for me.
  
  











  



  
Once Upon a Time in the North (David Fickling Books)
Philip Pullman

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

the ruby in the smoke by philip pullman
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman is the pinnacle in young adult adventure. The pre-feminist protagonist, Sally Lockhart, is a realistic and compelling role model. The storytelling is tight and crisp, the subject matter manages to be sophisticated without ...
  
  











  



  
Flush
Carl Hiaasen

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Flush
Carl Hiaasen did a great job including every thing a good book should have; mystery, tense moments, and tons more!!! When Noahs dad sinks a boat because he supects the owner of illegal dumping and then gets put in jail he leaves Noah to find out if the owner of the ...
  
  











  



  
My Many Colored Days
Dr. Seuss

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1996

A great Engagement gift!
This was an Engagement gift! Because life, each day, is colored by many emotions, it was meaningful! When one commits to another, there are bound to be "Many Colored Days". This was wonderful - to offer the young couple! Advice: Help each other through the "dark" ...
  
  











  



  
Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2003

Excellent
When I bought this, I was looking for something to fill my fantasy void (especially in Audio CDs). The book was outstanding. Yes, its wrapped into the whole Tolkien genera, but it does a nice job of having its own style. Highly recommend the Audio CDs. The ...
  
  











  



  
The Chocolate War (Readers Circle)
Robert Cormier

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2004

Sometimes, you have to think beyond the pages
Where to start... I must say, I stumbled across this book (vaguely remembering the title from my childhood) about a month ago. I try to keep tabs on the most recent banned and challenged books list, and I noticed, year after year, that it made the list, generally ...
  
  











  



  
I Am the Cheese (Readers Circle)
Robert Cormier

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Classic Story with a Shocker Conclusion
I recently read this book for the second time, and I liked it even more than when I was a kid. It's about a boy who takes a bicycle road trip to see his dad in nearby Vermont. The story shifts back and forth between the bicycle journey and his journey with a counselor ...
  
  











  



  
Pale Male: Citizen Hawk of New York City

Fine watercolors by Meilo So enhance this story of an urban legend
