Best kid lit book I've read this year. Witty, brilliantly funny. Character development and plot are as advanced as I've read. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44395773 to: The One-Million-Pound Bank-Note (Tale Blazers) by Mark Twain
Mark Twain's works are classic, and, in this reviewer's opinion, the best that the literary world will ever see. This short story is quintessential Twain. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44395847 to: The Invention of Hugo Cabret (Hardcover) by Brian Selznick
The story is predictable and flat, but the artistry and the innovation in combining literature with art is fantastic. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60192989 to: Peter Pan in Scarlet (Hardcover) by Geraldine McCaughrean
No one can equal J.M. Barrie's brilliance on Peter Pan, and this goes for McCaughrean in this "official" sequel, but one thing's for certain, she gets close. For literary value alone, this book deserves high marks. The writing is superb, and is consistent with Barrie's style. The story is somewhat enjoyable as well, though I wasn't fond of the way Peter was portrayed. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61510994 to: The Book of Lies (Hardcover) by Brad Meltzer
By far THE best fiction book I have ever read. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60193069 The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #4) by Rick Riordan
