1.The Book ThiefThe Book Thief
from Knopf Books for Young Readers
Price: $9.59

Customer Review:
Allan Corduner is a masterful storyteller in his narration of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.
Our family (children seventeen down to ten years old) listened with complete attention through eleven CDs! The story is sometimes very sad and somewhat graphic, it is after all World War II in Nazi... more info

2.Boy In the Striped Pajamas (Movie Tie-in Edition)Boy In the Striped Pajamas (Movie Tie-in Edition)
from David Fickling Books
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
The title is intriguing, but once you open the book, you will be most disappointed. The writing is poorly crafted, the main character too naive for words. I think this book must have somehow slipped past the copy editors--it reads like someone's first attempt at a book, where a kindly editor should... more info

While the 1984 has come and gone, George Orwell's masterpiece of the same title is still a classic.
In this dark alternate reality, oppressive super-governments control the world. Eurasia consists of mainland Europe and Russia. Eastasia is made up of china and southeastern Asian states.... more info

4.Number the StarsNumber the Stars
from Laurel Leaf
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
I remember having to read this book in my sixth grade class and since that time I have re-read it again and again. Lois Lowry paints an amazingly beautiful and accurate tale of bravery and friendship during the Nazi occupation of Denmark in World War II. The imagery and character interactions in... more info

from W. W. Norton
Price: $8.75

Customer Review:
I absolutely HATED reading this book. I respect it as a very popular piece of literature, but in truth I spent more time sounding out all of the names in this then actually reading it!

from Feiwel & Friends
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
As a specialist in children's therapy, I see this as a valuable book for educating children. I have a book collection of biographical series for children -- artists, musicians, politicians, etc. This has become a valuable part of my collection. I highly recommend this one.

7.Our White House: Looking In, Looking OutOur White House: Looking In, Looking Out
from Candlewick
Price: $19.79

Customer Review:
As a journalist who specializes in covering spirituality in daily life, I find myself drawn toward projects conceived by Candlewick Press. I still think their "A Visitor for Bear" is one of the best books I've ever read about the spiritual theme of hospitality.
Well, "Our White House" is a... more info

8.Devil s BroodDevil's Brood
from Putnam Adult
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:
Sensational is the only word for this book. Ms Penman is by far the most talented historical author of her generation - this book is meticulously detailed (the depth of historical research is astounding) and she still manages to imbue the characters with a depth of humanity that eludes most authors.... more info

9.The Things They CarriedThe Things They Carried
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $19.53

Customer Review:

Books are usually written a certain way; with a plot, set characters, conflicts, et cetera. The way Tim O'Brien portrays his story, The Things They Carried, is different than most books and his incorporation of truth and fiction tend to throw the reader off. Tim O'Brien constantly contradicts... more info

10.[no image]The Wednesday Wars
from Sandpiper
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
I loved this book! I bought it because my kid will be on the Pentathlon Team at school and she needs to read it for competition. I thought I'd start reading it just to get an idea of what she would read and I couldn't put it down! It gives a great feel for what life was like growing up in the... more info
