Into Confusion and Oblivion.......2007-04-08

I don't know how Lynne Ewing came up with this story. I was looking forward to reading about Serena because she seemed to be one of the more interesting characters and was I sorely disappointed. I don't understand how you can have a romance in a book and not really give the reader anything to go on. If Serena can't remember her memories, then how are we supposed to get a feel for a connection between her and Stanton? They had absolutely no chemistry to me. Stanton and Vanessa seemed to have more chemistry to me (later I found out Lynne Ewing was originally going to hook those two up). Too bad Lynne didn't hook Michael up with someone else later in the series. Personally, I think Vanessa and Stanton would have made a better couple. I understand others might have a different opinion, but that's just how I feel about it.

I give it 2.5 stars for at least being well-written, if not the most interesting or the best of the series. So far, it's my least favorite.

Into the Cold Fire Review By: Diana.......2006-10-18

This book is about a girl who might be endangered by a groupd of people who is after her. These group of people are bad people who try to bring good people to the bad side. This book is a magical book with girls who have powers and they are trying to fight the bad people away. I liked this book because each character has a different personality and different ways to handle things in situations dealt together.

A Review of Into the Cold Fire........2006-10-17

I thought this book was good. It had a lot of action in it. I also liked it because it had magical powers that noone in real life could have. This book is great for teens who like a little bit of romance, drama, and action.

Daughters of the moon...the story continues..........2006-02-19

NOTE: PLEASE READ THE FIRST BOOK BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK. THE STORY WILL BE RUINED IF YOU DO NOT READ THE OTHER TWO BOOKS FIRST. THIS STORY IS HARD TO FOLLOW IF YOU DO NOT EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SERIES AND ALL THE REALATIONSHIPS. THIS BOOK IS POORLY WRITTEN AND HARD TO FOLLOW IF YOU DON'T READ THE FIRST BOOK.

Serena is a goddess, a daughter of the moon. Sent by Selene to protect the human beings from an ancient evil called the Atrox. Jimena, Serena, Vanessa, and Catty are all daughters of the moon. Each of them has a unique gift. Vanessa can become invisible, Catty can travel in time, Serena reads minds, and Jimena sees into the future. Lynne Ewing has designed all of the books to show us everyone's point of view at different times. This book is based on Serena.

The story beginns with Serena at the beach with her brother Collin. Collin is a surfer. Serena gets a little bored watching him surf so she walks down the beach until she stumbles into a party. A girl dressed in a dress throws herself into a fire. Everyone at the party cheers Lecta. Serena at first thinks the girl's name is Lecta. Serena freaks about because a girl threw herself into the fire but then sees that the fire flames are blue. Stanton suddenly calls out to Serena, then all of the sudden she wakes up. Serena is covered with cuts thinking she fell into the ocean. Her brother come's and finds her and asks her what happened, but she can't remember.

Morgan gets a crush on Collin, Serena's brother. Serena can't stand Morgan and doesn't think that Collin and her would be good together. Then Çollin tells her one day that Morgan thinks Serena needs a boyfriend. Serena is very angry and can't help but wonder if Collin agrees with Morgan. To add to all of the mess, Jimena and Collin start fighting. Serena isn't sure she can handle the preasure. To top it off Serena's crushing on a new kid at school.

Then Jimena tells Serena a vision she had. Serena gets very upset because she doesn't want to destroy the daughters of the moon. But Jimena's vision have always come true. A few days later Stanton come's and tells her that she needs to be careful about the new kid at school. He also tells Serena that he erased her memories on the beach. Serena is very shocked by this. Then Stanton tells her that Stanton and her were in a relationship. A few nights later Serena reads Collins mind about Jimena. Then once the secret of the new kid is revealed the key gets thrown into the cold fire. This book tests the faith between all of the girls, and there values.

Daughters of the Moon: Anairis Review.......2005-10-29

This is a story everybody should read including teenagers like us.We could relate some things from ourlife.This book is about a girl finding out what she was ment for.She wouldn't let anything about having a boyfriend keep her down.This story was romantic,action,and true friendship.Serena must know why the Antrox are after her and Jemina has a premonition that Serena is going to betray them.Then Venessa comes again and turns invisible to keep away from from the cold fire.Another thing how could cold fire be cold.Serena was the one who can go through it and save her own friends life.Jemina was thankful that she could try to be more trustworthy and see what the inside from not her premonitions and see for herself.Serena is phychic and she is one of mysteries of the Daughters of the Moon. If you want to hear more about the Daughters of the Moon check out the Volume 3.Jemina couldn't stop thinking of Veto who died last year and he appears in her kitchen.While she was going to ask him what is he doing here he comes up and kisses her in the mouth .Was her feelings still strong?She felt his cheeck and his small scar that was warm.What do you think of that if you want hear more check it out!

Readers who have followed the fortunes of Daja and her foster siblings in Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic and The Circle Opens sequences will not be disappointed by this continuation of Daja's adventures as a smith-mage. As her foster siblings Sandry and Briar struggle with their reluctant apprentices (Magic Steps, Street Magic), Daja and her teacher, Frostpine, settle into the northern Namorn city of Kugisko for a restful winter break. Not surprisingly, their illusions are promptly shattered, as Daja discovers that the twin daughters of her host have "ambient magic." As the discovering-mage, Daja is obliged to teach the fidgety girls the rudiments of magic. Meanwhile, Kugisko seems to have fallen into the hands of a ruthless arsonist, and Daja is determined to help her new firefighting friend, Bennat Ladradun, get to the bottom of the mystery. As always, Pierce's writing is both personable and thrilling. Kaja, a strapping, dark-skinned 14-year-old, is tremendously genuine; her powers seem to reflect inner strength rather than an arbitrary gift. An excellent, many-layered read. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

Daja and Frostpine expect to spend some peaceful weeks with old friends in Namorn. But things begin to go awry as soon as they arrive. First Daja discovers that their hosts' twin daughters are mages. Then mysterious fires begin to blaze across the frigid city. Daja works with Bennat Ladradun, to locate what seems to be a serial arsonist. Daja's magic saves the city from going up in flames, but nothing and nobody can save her the disappointment of learning that the arsonist is someone close to her own heart.

Magical and is the best of the Circle Opens.......2007-04-03

I think that this book is the best of the Circle Open's quartet! The characters are lovable like Daja and her teacher Frostpine. The magic is breath-taking and even though the book can be serious it is also fun! Tamora Pierce has definetly done an excellent job on this book. Guarenteed you'll be hooked from page one!

Daja and Frostpine went to Kugisko, cold and freezing Kugisko to visit old friends... They didn't expect to have too big of an adventure. It was SUPPOSED to be peaceful. Fires are spreading across the town and nobody knows who's starting them. They know that somebody is doing it on purpose...but who?

Daja also meets a man named Bennat Ladradun who's family was killed in a fire and now dedicates his life to fighting raging fires...is Ben really what Daja thinks he is?

Read 'Cold Fire'! It rocks!

an excellent piece of writing by Tamora Pierce.......2007-01-01

In my opinion, Cold Fire is more interesting than Magic Steps and Street Magic, simply because it introduces new concepts and themes into Tamora Pierce's writing. One such is traitorism. You know it's going to happen, but you dread it all the same. There is also more fear and suspense and less repetition than in the other books. It is a more complex novel. It may seem that Daja is an unfeeling character in the beginning because it is mostly written in denotation with no point of view behind her observation, but later in the novel, you'll find that this is not so. Daja shares memories of her past, and hints towards the future are apparant. The twins are amusing and Frostpine down to earth. There is a satisfying plot. It's great!

Pierce does it again!!.......2006-12-17

Tamora Pierce, a loved author has created another wonderful piece of work. It is definetley the best of the circle opens series and has great twists and turns. Fantasy and magic lovers are sure to enjoy this masterpiece considering how much is in it. Yet fantasy is what this book is it is also somewhat of a mystery. Not only does it have both mystery and fantasy but is also full of action and adventure! So many, many different people would enjoy this book.

Now in this book Daja kisbu is traveling with her teacher Frostpine north. They're staying with friends of theres who have twins. In this story Daja finds out that they each have a magical gift. One with cooking and the other with carpetry. Considering Daja discovered their powers she is responsible for teaching them or finding them good teachers. As she teaches the twins whom are nothing alike a mystery occurs. Daja and agents have found that fires are being perposley set in houses, stores etc. So she must find out who's killing people and causing all this trouble for nothing. She must face challenges when she finds who has been doing this right under her nose. Read 'Cold Fire' for it is a truley tremendous book!!

Better than the First Two.......2006-03-22

Cold Fire is the third book in The Circle Opens. Four years after the events chronicled in the Circle of Magic series, Daja and her teacher Frostpine have traveled to the northern country of Namorn to spend the winter. Now a fully credentialed smith mage, Daja is shocked that when she discovers two twins with ambient magic that she is obligated to teach them. Anxious to find teachers for the two girls, Daja meets and becomes friends with a man named Bennet Ladradun during her search. Ben is the village firefighter and Daja helps him save a blind girl from a burning building. Then an arsonist starts to set buildings all over the city on fire. Daja works to catch the criminal before he goes to far, but what she finds just might teach her more than she wants to know.

Unlike the series that comes before this one, The Circle Opens can easily be read out of order. I personally found the first two books rather slow compared to the earlier series and so I was reluctant to even pick this one up at all. I am so glad that I did. This book deals with slightly darker themes than the previous ones, so younger readers should exercise a bit of caution. The plot had quite a few twists and although you know who the arsonist is by the middle of the book, you keep hoping that you're wrong. A slightly sad ending, but overall a really good book.

Indeed, Tamora has done it again.......2005-08-27

I thoroughly enjoyed the third book of the Circle of Magic series because Daja had a chance to reclaim herself. In this, I think it's absolutely marvelous how much she has grown as a person. Of all of them so far, I think she has grown the most.

Cold myth perpetuated.......2005-10-05

Other than perpetuating the myth that you get a cold by going outside in the cold without a hat, this was a cute story.

cute story.......2004-08-28

Mr Putter catches a cold! He thinks back to his younger days when he got sick. His mother always took good care of him. She gave him soup, tea and let him read adventure books. His neighbor Mrs. Teaberry decides to take care of him like his mother use to. She does a great job.

I enjoyed reading this book. I have read others in the series and this one was funny like the others.

This book is good for early readers. If they enjoy the Mr Putter series they will like this one as well.

No Surprise!.......2003-10-19

I have all the titles in the series, and of course, I love this one. My children snuggle up and we have read this one over
and over. A must have for Mr. Putter and Tabby fans. Everyone will love the warmth and consideration from Mr. Putters neighbor and her dog, zeke. We should all care so much.

Best of the Series (So Far).......2003-07-03

I've read the Mr. Putter & Tabby books with both of my children. It's a wonderful series for the beginning reader. This title is my favorite of the entire series. Mr. Putter has a cold and remembers what made him feel better when he was a boy. Chicken soup, some hot tea and an adventure book loaned by Mrs. Teaberry's dog, Zeke make this cold worth having. It perfectly captures just how much fun a sick day can be.

A great series built on loveable characters.......2002-11-15

My daughter who is now 8 and I have been reading the Mr Putter and Tabby stories from the very beginning when Mr Putter and Tabby poured the tea. In fact, she has learned to read thanks to this kind hearted old man and his "fine cat." This latest addition as the two of them deal with a common cold is uncommonly good. Cynthia Rylant has managed to convey the lives of two elderly people - Mr Putter and his neighbor, Mrs Teaberry - with dignity, humor and a sense of adventure in everyday living. My daughter loves this story and all the others because of the humorous situations and the likeability of the characters. I love them because as I approach my "Mr Putter years" -- I'm 56 -- I see him as a delightful example of what being an "old man" can be. Likewise I see my daughter learning compassion, acceptance and respect for older people so often missing in children's stories.

This book was so good. This book is probably one of the best goosebumps books I've ever read. This book is also really scary and it has a twisted ending to it. This book is about a girl named Sarah who goes to a summer camp, camp cold lake. She hates camp cold lake and her bunkmates aren't very nice to her either. One day Sarah decides to pretend that she's drowning so everyone will feel sorry for her and be nice to her.After she drowns something really scary happens to her.To find out you have to read this super awesome book.

I think that The Curse of Camp Cold Lake is one of R.L. Stine's best books. It's about a girl named Sarah who goes to Camp Cold Lake. The problem is, she doesn't really like the water, and when she meets her roomates, she starts off on the wrong foot so they pretty much hate her. Sarah isn't having a good time so she comes up with a plan. She's going to pretend to drown. While in the lake, an awesome unexpected twist happens, and now she's being haunted by a ghost. The ending is amazing, and I simply loved the book. The whole time I was reading I kept wanting more and I couldn't stop! It is truly a great book and I think most kids will thoroughly enjoy it.

Customer Reviews:

OH JOY!!!.......2007-09-14

What can I say? I've been a bonafide monkeyboy for a few years now and anyone who picks this book up will know why you just can't say no to Frank Cho's work.

This is not a great place for new comers to start but if you have even a basic understanding of the Liberty Meadows world (from those lovely syndicated newspaper cartoons), then I guess you'll be okay with the story. If you end up liking this book I highly recommend you to search for some of the older titles.

As always Frank's artwork is top-notch and this book was so funny I actually laughed out loud reading some of the scenes. This is the type of book you'll want to share with your friends. But if you have friends like mine you won't want them to get their grubby paws all over the beautiful Jen and Brandy!

Great book, great story, great price. Books like this is probably why I'll never stop reading comics.

The Saga of Frank and Brandy Continues..........2007-08-09

I first discovered Frank Cho's work through a published edition of U2 (University Squared), the comic strip he produced as a college student in Maryland. With a few alterations, Liberty Meadows is, essentially, a revamp, continuation and elaboration of that work. Cho is quite the master, both in draftsmanship and in humor (which is sometimes quite risque - this is certainly not a comic strip collection for children, by any means). His jokes and his artistic styles pay homage to many sources, from old-school cartoons and classic comic strips to fanboy references to movies and comic books.

Liberty Meadows itself follows the tale of Brandy and Frank, an animal psychologist and veterinarian, respectively, who work at a wildlife preserve with a number of neurotic animals, including Dean (a pig), Leslie (a frog in a straw hat), and Ralph (a former circus bear). They get into all kinds of wacky adventures, from the just plain nutty to the downright dangerous. Everyman Frank is desperately in love with the outgoing, beautiful Brandy, but can't ever seem to bring himself to tell her.

In this volume, matters are complicated by Brandy's beautiful roommate, Jen, who has decided to toy with Frank's emotions simply for fun; add to this the fact taht Brandy's former college boyfriend is back in town, and has asked her to marry him. All the while, the Liberty Meadows animals engage in their usual spate of hilarious shenanigans. Will Frank find the strength to break away from Jen and the courage to tell Brandy how he truly feels about her in time? Will Brandy follow the true yearnings of her heart? You've gotta read it to find out. I hope additional volumes come out, as I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, and I think you will too. the book also includes a fairly extensie sketchbook section and a handy introductory section that will catch you up on the characters if you're new to the books. If you're looking for an offbeat comic read with great art, this is the book for you (read the other 3 first, though...). Enjoy!

Book Description

The American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH) is the oldest medical organization in the United States, founded three years before the American Medical Association. The American Institute of Homeopathy Handbook for Parents is the first AIH publication that offers another option for parents who are reluctant to participate in the widespread extreme measures of conventional medicine such as stimulants, antidepressants, and overuse of antibiotics. Step-by-step Edward Shalts, a medical doctor who practices homeopathic medicine, explains what homeopathy is and how it works. He presents a user-friendly overview of acute and chronic issues and shows how parents can deal with them, either on their own for some problems, or in many cases, with a qualified practitioner. This important resource explains the principles of homeopathy, the nature of remedies, and the appropriate time to use homeopathy.

Customer Reviews:

not much of a self-help book.......2007-09-16

I'm glad I got this from the library before buying it. This has very little self-help in it. There are other books with more complete and more easily searched self-help sections.
This book might be good if you need to be convinced about the usefulness and benefits of homeopathy for your family, but I'm past that point and got very annoyed at being cautioned on about every other page that I need to work with a trained homeopath and could not possibly do or comprehend more than simple acute care by myself. It was written on behalf of the American Institute of Homeopathy so maybe that explains something. He also cautions ominously against polypharmacy, but never gave any reason or proof why this should be so bad.

EXCELLENT GUIDE.......2007-07-30

I have been using homeopathic remedies for some time, but this book opens up my understanding more on why, how much, what, and when. I have had phenomenal success using homeopathic remedies and would advise everyone interested in keeping dangerous drugs out of their bodies or those of their family's should at least read up on the subject, and this is one of the books to start with!

I am always surprised when people say to me "that stuff is quackery, or you've been conned", yet they will go to their doctor and get a drug with deadly side-effects and take it! If only they knew that not all the prescriptions doctors give out have been tested - which is why a doctor will say to them "we'll try this one and if it doesn't work, we'll try something else!" And because it is a doctor who says it, people are gullible to believe that drug will not hurt them!

Get the book, READ IT, and then ask yourself is it worth a try? You can't hurt yourself with it, and it won't cost a fortune to buy it!

The American Institute of Homeopathy Handbook for partents........2007-01-09

I was looking (still haven't found) a book about homeopathic remedies, strengths and dosages. I didn't find it in this book, most of the book explained how it is better to live healthy than to take medicines.

I sell homeopathic products.......2006-04-30

I recently opened a 'healing products' store in an Interstate Super Flea Market mall, and retail a branded homeopathic line of remedies. Not being a doctor, but making referrals to homeopathic professionals, this book was exactly what I needed to relate homeopathic remedies to visitors to my new store and provide them with simple comprehensive understandable information useful for adults and children, alike.

I believe the book to be a good bridge between patient and professional, alike, to understand specifics and the proper use of these wonderful medications anytime one is visiting or calling a professional practitioner.

I highly recomend it to any lay person, like myself, who is interested in learning about homeopathics with or without the help of a homepathics professional. For anyone with serious illiness, especially chronic sufferers of pain and acute disease, I highly recommend that one should always work with a trusted professional, and I strongly recommend browsing this book prior to selecting a homeopathic professional, and keeping it handy throughout any conversations and use of prescribed remedies.

After reading the book and answering a few customer questions today, I am so pleased that I am ordering additional copies from Amazon.com to make the book immediately available to my own customers who request it.

Alternatives for parents seeking answers.......2006-01-03

Dr. Shalts has produced an impressive book, one that could help many families who are seeking alternatives to medication for their child's unique set of issues. This is an enormously helpful, easy to read, engaging book on homeopathy for kids, explaining what homeopathy is and helping parents to find the treatment that is right for their child.

I highly recommend this to any parent of a child who is seeking answers for problematic behaviors and physical conditions, and wants to explore homeopathy.

In the first story Uncle Scrooge purchases the world's only supply of bombastium at an auction. While his scientists search for a use for the substance, Scrooge and his nephews rush off to Antarctica to put the Bombastium in guaranteed safe keeping, since the substance will evaporate if not constantly kept frozen. While on their journey, Scrooge and his nephews are pursued by sinister agents from the country of Brutopia, who want the Bombastium too. The second story is about Scrooge and his nephews trying to get a large payment of gold back from Bantu while trying to avoid the pursuing Beagle Boys. If you like any of the Disney ducks or Disney comics, you should enjoy this one.
