reSchool-Grade 3-Children and their adult mentors will delight in this multifaceted craft book. There are seven broad categories: "African Safari," "Tropical Forest," "Animals & Their Young," "Inside the Aquarium," "The Reptile House," "Northern Forest," and "The Big Cats." Each section has a map and a short introduction, followed by several projects about individual creatures. Each project is covered in three pages. Scissors symbols indicate the level of difficulty, which is also listed in the index. The required materials would be found in most craft cupboards. Some of the models of the animals are realistic; some are more representational. The steps are clearly numbered and fairly easy. Black-and-white line drawings will aid in project construction. For children who like hands-on activity, and especially... |

Winter Robinson, author of A Hidden Order : “P. M. H. Atwater’s pioneering work has paved the way for a new way of being and living. Now in Beyond the Indigo Children she beckons us to drop our fears and dogmas and grow into the conscious, spiritual beings that we are. Certainly consciousness has a plan, and she is the guide.”
Roger Pile, Ph.D., parapsychologist and former director of The Center for Gnostic Education : “Drawing from her many decades of research and multitudinous sources, Atwater explains the New Children: who they are, why they are here, and how to recognize them. She further explains how human evolution is taking increasing quantum leaps with each wave of children, particularly with regard to their level of intelligence, which is far beyond what anyone might imagine.... |

Grade 4-8. Cynthia Moss will fascinate young readers.

Book Review
In her first novel, award-winning Indian screenwriter Arundhati Roy conjures a whoosh of wordplay that rises from the pages like a brilliant jazz improvisation. The God of Small Things is nominally the story of young twins Rahel and Estha and the rest of their family, but the book feels like a million stories spinning out indefinitely; it is the product of a genius child-mind that takes everything in and transforms it in an alchemy of poetry. The God of Small Things is at once exotic and familiar to the Western reader, written in an English that's completely new and invigorated by the Asian Indian influences of culture and language.

The fifth title in Diane Duane's Young Wizards series delves deeper into an emotional landscape than any of her previous books (So You Want to Be a Wizard, Deep Wizardry, High Wizardry, and A Wizard Abroad). For the first time ever, friends and wizard partners Nita and Kit seem to be having trouble communicating. They argue over a spell to clean up the pollution in New York's Jones Inlet, and from that point on, they can't connect on anything. Is it adolescence that's tearing them apart or something more profound? Meanwhile, Nita and her family are stunned to discover that her mother has cancer, and there's a possibility that nothing--not surgery, not even wizardry--can fight it. Nita refuses to let her mom go down without a fight, however, and soon she's on a mission that brings her face-to-face with the Lone... |
