The Tragic Secret of Cyrus Crowe: A Cassie Slade Mystery | Pre-teen fears I read this book before giving it to my grand-daughter. I was surprised that it held my interest until the end. The book tells the tale of a pre-teen girl experiencing natural fears of unknown sounds and events when home alone. She becomes physically affected by her fears. Her best friend is understanding but thinks it's all imagination until she shares in some of the events and they find themselves in a true mystery.My grand-daughter then read the book and liked it very much. She said that after telling one of her friends about it, the friend asked to borrow it. Her answer was, "Nope, I don't want to lose it. I think I'll read it again."

Gloria Steinem: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) | A life well told Written in a clear and engaging style, Patricia Marcello's biography of Gloria Steinem is a fascinating account of perhaps America's most influential, and certainly the most eloquent, feminist. Steinem is widely known as the founder of Ms. magazine and a women's rights activist, but few readers know much about her personal life. Marcello gives us a powerful insight into this remarkable and intriguing woman by a careful examination of the family and forces that shaped her. Though written primarily for a young adult audience, Marcello doesn't talk down to them. A book for every student's library. R. A. Deckert, Bellingham WA

Jerry Garcia (Little Books) by Ariel (1999-05-03) | A nice quick read to put on your desk, When I got this book in the mail I opened the package and knew why it was not real expensive. It is about the size of a cassete tape box and is a well-made hardback with a dustcover. It is a nice quick colorful tribute that celebrates Jerry Garcia. Something that any Garcia fan would really like. It is actually quite a bargain now that I think about it.
