dabbled in learning psychology for years. The psychology behind human behaviour is
so exciting and relevant to me in my personal relationships and in writing.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Until several years ago, I didn’t know what a
narcissist/sociopath/office-ass kisser really was. But after much reading and
studying, I now understand that I’ve worked with and befriended a few of them
through the years. In fact, I quit my job of over 35 years because of such
people. I just can’t play their games. No regrets.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>These are people who manipulate the circumstances and will
throw their friends, teammates, and even family under the bus to make
themselves look good.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662" target="_blank">Narcissists</a>, <a href="https://www.health.com/condition/antisocial-personality-disorder/sociopath-traits" target="_blank">sociopaths</a>, <a href="https://ca.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=Awr9_X5gVEFlRzIA1S_rFAx.;_ylc=X1MDMjExNDcyMTAwMwRfcgMyBGZyA21jYWZlZQRmcjIDc2ItdG9wBGdwcmlkA0E5THQ0N25vU0pPV3g5bExYR0Y5X0EEbl9yc2x0AzAEbl9zdWdnAzAEb3JpZ2luA2NhLnNlYXJjaC55YWhvby5jb20EcG9zAzAEcHFzdHIDBHBxc3RybAMwBHFzdHJsAzIyBHF1ZXJ5A2FzcyUyMGtpc3NlcnMlMjBkZWZpbml0aW9uBHRfc3RtcAMxNjk4NzgwMzIw?p=ass+kissers+definition&fr2=sb-top&fr=mcafee&type=E210CA0G0" target="_blank">ass kissers</a>, make the world a more challenging place for regular people to work and function in. The average person is
not interested in playing games nor trying to figure out what the game is in
the first place.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Sociopaths tend to bring on their grandiose ideas of being
superior to others. A<span style="background: white; color: #101518;">
person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extremely antisocial
attitudes and behaviour.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>A narcissist is a clinically diagnosed personality disorder
characterized by grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy
toward other people.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>An ass-kisser <a href="https://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mcafee&type=E210CA0G0&p=sycophancy+definition" target="_blank">(<span style="background-color: white;">Sycophancy?)</span></a><span style="background-color: white;"> </span>is a<span style="background: white; color: #101518;"> person who behaves obsequiously to gain favour.</span> A person who kisses ass to move their own
career/friendships forward, often at the expense of other employees or friends.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>I’ve worked with several of these kinds of people and they
are pathetic, only in it for themselves, with no empathy or team spirit, and only their
own self being the key to their success in any situation.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>Yet, as writers, where would we find all this juicy
character information if we did not know the psychological makeup of these kinds of
people?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p>If you’ve encountered these types of people, don’t take it
as a negative shey have given us writers our villains in storytelling and,
ultimately, made us better writers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Trumpet”, the unhappy boy brings doom and gloom to the kingdom until a
mystical maiden guides him to finding his own unique music.<br /><br />Barbara
Roman's 'The Prince Who Was A Piccolo' teaches children about
self-esteem, asserting independence, attitudes, and being comfortable
with their own identity. They will also learn about different musical
instruments and the influence of music on our lives and emotions. There
are mystical qualities in the story as it metaphorically touches on
meditation, intuition, and spiritual guidance.<br /><br />Beautifully
illustrated by Vladimir Cebu, this book is a rich learning experience
for children, as they learn about music instruments, and ways to express
their emotions.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span><b>What I Thought: </b></span></p><p><span><b> </b>The Prince Who Was a Piccolo is a wonderful story with the subtle underlying moral value for children to believe in themself and strive for their own talents in life, whatever those talents may be. I fell in love with the prince and his brave attitude to not give up searching for his own musical talent, even though his musical talent may not please his father the king. The story is so well written that I believe this book will become a classic in children's literature. The artwork is fantastic. This story is one of the most creative stories I've read in children's literature in several years. Kudos to the author!<br /></span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span><b>About the Author:</b></span></p><p><span><b> </b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBMHWF8n_JOBroj28ELfEPsYMyQBmJVQY2E6pFsPcZR-b6t10s-nu30oP2bH9QEKGVda65VSF754x6HJEk1gWm0whU1s-4YUXAwHMuWdDQ1XH93JLGQ0HLIZsDJKPWY5toNpNOykcriyxhUS2sseT7sdZa1Iu9_txNGY-r06zy0DDcQJBa00OPrjf/s474/Barbara%20Roman%20New%20author%20pic_.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="352" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBMHWF8n_JOBroj28ELfEPsYMyQBmJVQY2E6pFsPcZR-b6t10s-nu30oP2bH9QEKGVda65VSF754x6HJEk1gWm0whU1s-4YUXAwHMuWdDQ1XH93JLGQ0HLIZsDJKPWY5toNpNOykcriyxhUS2sseT7sdZa1Iu9_txNGY-r06zy0DDcQJBa00OPrjf/w149-h201/Barbara%20Roman%20New%20author%20pic_.jpg" width="149" /></a></b></span></div><span><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p><span><b> </b></span>As Barbara Roman, I am the author of the children's books, "Alicia and

<p class="MsoNormal">Another great book in the Little Miss History collection!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Little Miss History Travels to The Battleship Iowa is full
of interesting and fun facts about the Iowa; battles attended, the lifespan of
the battleship, two maps of Europe 1939 when World War 11 was spreading across
Europe, dimensions of the ship, armament on the ship, details about the ship’s
missions, and so much more. The book also includes a glossary of battleship
terms, which is a real bonus for readers. The pictures, along with the
illustrations, are always a great combo that readers will enjoy.</p>

<b>What I Thought </b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>I admit I am a grammar nerd, and I have written a grammar book for middle grades. Coming across grammar books for the younger audience is always a delight since there aren't enough out there. <span class="cr-widget-FocalReviews" data-hook="cr-widget-FocalReviews"><span class="a-size-base review-text" data-hook="review-body"><span>This book is definitely a useful review of grammar for beginners, although, I wish the lessons had more content within the lessons.

</p><p class="MsoNormal">The Little Miss History series is fantastic! Barbara Ann
Mojica’s latest edition takes us to Independence Hall and the Museum of the
American Revolution to teach us about the founding of the U.S. government. The
illustrations and photographs combinations, along with precise writing and an amazing
character in Little Miss History herself, make the adventures super fun. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love everything about this book and the entirety

<b>What I Thought </b><br />
<br />
Since I'm somewhat of a grammar nerd and I have written a grammar book for middle grades, this book was right up my alley. <span class="cr-widget-FocalReviews" data-hook="cr-widget-FocalReviews"><span class="a-size-base review-text" data-hook="review-body">I find there are not enough grammar books for this age group, so I was happy to come across it. The book is simple to follow and gives basic examples and good quizzes. This is a great book for beginners who are struggling with English and grammar. </span></span><br />

<b>Synopsis </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div dir="auto" id="iframeContent">
Published to commemorate its 75th anniversary, <i>The World Is Round</i> brings back into print the classic story created by Gertrude Stein and Clement Hurd.<br />
Written in her unique prose style, Gertrude Stein's <i> The World Is Round </i>
chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Rose—a whimsical tale
that delights in wordplay and sound while exploring the ideas of
personal identity and individuality. This stunning volume replicates the
original 1939 edition to a T, including all of Clement Hurd's original
blue-and-white art printed on the rose-pink paper that Stein insisted
upon. Also featured here are two essays that provide an inside view to
the making of the book. The first, a foreword by Clement Hurd's son,
author and illustrator Thacher Hurd, includes previously unpublished
photographs and sheds light on a creative family life in Vermont, where
his father and mother, author Edith Thacher Hurd, often collaborated on
children's books. The second essay, an afterword by Edith Thacher Hurd,
takes readers behind the scenes of the making of <i>The World Is Round</i>,
including the numerous letters exchanged between Hurd and Stein as well

<b>What I Thought </b><br />

<b> </b><span class="cr-widget-FocalReviews" data-hook="cr-widget-FocalReviews"><span class="a-size-base review-text" data-hook="review-body">The World is Round is somewhat of a different-type book for this age group, but it is incredibly unique and the prose style of Gertrude Stein is intriguing. The story is written with wordplay and sound and, when reading to a child, will keep the child listening attentively to the story. Delightful, whether you're a child or an adult.</span></span><br />

German-Jewish family. She was educated in France and the United States,
worked under the pioneering psychologist William James, and later
studied medicine. With her brother Leo she was an important patron of
the arts, acquiring works by many contemporary artists, most famously
Picasso, while her home became a popular meeting place for writers and
painters from Matisse to Hemingway. Her books include <i>Three Lives</i>, <i>Tender Buttons</i>, and <i>The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas</i>. </span></span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></b>Have you ever wondered why humans cause suffering and violence toward
our fellow beings when more than half the world's population identifies
as spiritual and/or religious? Have you wondered what kind of God would
allow such behavior and if that is what is meant by "having dominion".<br /><br />For
thousands of years, Wise Ones have proclaimed that happiness and
enlightenment are attained through righteous living, nonviolence,
compassion for all beings, and a relationship with the Divine. If their
words are true, then why do we misuse each other and the natural world?
How can we live in ways that reflect their teachings and honor the
Oneness of all?<br /><br />Spurred by the desire for answers, Val Silver
embarked on an inquiry to discover who we are and how we are meant to
interact with our fellow beings. In One Creation Under God, she brings
readers on this journey with her through ancient traditions, history,
the sacred writings of world religions, and modern science to discover
insights into the nature of our connections with the Divine, humanity,
and creatures of all kinds. This interactive book challenges common
misconceptions about our rights, roles, and responsibilities in the
circle of life and encourages readers to enliven their wise, empathetic
nature in order to co-create a kind, sustainable world where all can
flourish on planet Earth.<br />

My favorite sentences in the book are the following: “Through
the ages, sages, prophets, and spiritual masters have preached a similar
message. They explained that happiness, enlightenment, and the liberation of
the soul is attained through nonviolence, righteous living, compassion for all
beings, and a personal connection with the Divine.” </div>

release, Little Miss History goes to Hyde Park, home of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, is another spectacular learning book in this series; this
book takes the reader on a tour of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s house and his
personal and political life. This series is always interesting, has
vivid illustrations, and is written in a way that children, and adults,
will love. Kudos to Barbara Ann Mojica! </span></span><br />

<b>Keywords are a valuable tool to get on an Amazon’s bestseller list</b>.<br />
Doing a relevant keyword search for you book takes a few steps to
accomplish and it will be worth it in the long run of your book sales.<br />
<ol>
<li> Do a keyword search ‘Incognito Mode’. In Google Chrome, right
click on the Google Chrome icon and a list should appear. Click on ‘New
Incognito Mode’. Type in ‘Amazon.com’ in the search bar (or whatever
Amazon site you want to search in). Then start typing words you think
would be a good fit for your book–the top 5 – 10 words/phrases that come
up on the lists below the word you have entered are good keywords as
that list pertains to what people are searching for. You can also add
phrases to the keyword search, such as: fantasy for kids; fantasy books
for children, kid’s fantasy, etc. This is a long and somewhat painful
process, but the reason you’ll want to search ‘Incognito Mode’ is
because if you search on your regular browser you own search history
will be included, which isn’t accurate as to what other people are
searching for. Note: Other browsers, such as Firefox, will have ‘New
Private Window’ instead of ‘Incognito Mode’ listed, but I have found
Google Chrome to be the best for private browsing mode. </li>
<li>Search
the book descriptions of the top 10 – 20 books you’ve found in relevant
categories on Amazon and you’ll probably find that many of these books
have some of the same keywords in their book descriptions–you’ll want to
take note of those keywords, especially if the book is doing well in a
category.</li>
<li>You’ll want to find at least 10 – 15 great and excellent keywords to ad to your own book description.</li>
</ol>
<b>If you want to advertise on Amazon (by manually adding
keywords) and need to find those valuable keywords, follow the above
procedures and a few more steps to your search by doing the following:</b><br />
<ol>
<li> Find good keywords by searching for books and authors on
Amazon that are writing in your genre/categories and performing well;
add those titles and author names that are showing up in the top 20
books in a relevant categories.</li>
<li> Search for up to 1000 keywords
(which is the maximum Amazon allows in advertising campaigns) instead of
just 10 – 15 words that you would use for your book description and,
of course, those 10 – 15 words you found should be included in your
advertising campaign.</li>
<li>Review and update keywords in your
campaign every 6 months or so–take out non-performing keywords and add
new keywords from your new keyword search.</li>
</ol>
Note: Updating a current campaign’s keywords is better than starting a
new campaign because the current campaign will keep track of
well-performing keywords.<br />
***********<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been running Amazon Ads for my
bestselling book for about a year and a half, and the ad has been
running at the 1000 keyword max for the last six months. </div>
Recently, after searching for some new keywords that might perform
better than the 200 or so keywords (out of the 1000 maximum keywords
running in the ad) getting no hits I was perplexed on how to take out
keywords that weren’t performing well and add new keywords that may
perform better. Amazon doesn’t give a straight forward answer to this
problem on their advertising help page.<br />
In case anyone else is having this problem, this is Amazon’s answer I received after I wrote to them about the issue:<br />
Once your ad is live, you can edit budget, cost-per-click, duration
(the end date for a running campaign, or the start date for not started
campaign) and keywords (Sponsored Products only)<br />
To edit your campaign settings:<br />
<b>1. </b>Sign in to your Amazon Advertising account at advertising.amazon.com with your KDP credentials.<br />
<b>2. </b>Select the campaign you want to edit by clicking on the name.<br />
<b>3. </b>Click the “Targeting” tab and click on the keywords check boxes you want to delete and then click Archive to delete the keyword.<br />
<b>4.</b> Click Add Keyword<br />
<b>5.</b> Click “Save”<br />
<br />
I hope this article helps you with the mystery of keywords.<br />

<h2 id="how-to-encourage-kids-to-read">
How to Encourage Kids to Read</h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A great way to start is to get a <a href="https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-bookshelves-for-kids" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">bookshelf</a> for
your child’s room. If they have access to their own collection of
books, it’ll be easy for them to read at their own pace. And if they’re
looking at the shelf everyday, reading will always be on their mind.
It’s also important to give your kids a comfortable place to sit. This
can be anything from a <a href="https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-rocking-chairs-for-kids" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">rocking chair</a> to a <a href="https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-couches-for-kids" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">couch</a> to a dedicated <a href="https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-reading-nooks-for-kids" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">reading nook</a>.
If they have a space that’s just for them, it makes reading time all
the more special. As they grow, your young ones will start to read more
challenging books with words they don’t know. Encourage them to look up
unfamiliar terms in the <a href="https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-dictionaries-for-kids" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">dictionary</a> so
they can expand their vocabulary. Finally, if you’re having trouble
getting your kid interested in books in the first place, try bridging
the gap between visual media and literature with <a href="https://wiki.ezvid.com/m/12-amazing-graphic-novels-for-readers-young-and-old-Pb5T2lT9QKGV8" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">graphic novels</a>.</span></span><br />
<h2 id="what-is-fantasy">
What is Fantasy?</h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No genre can capture the imagination quite like fantasy, where
readers are invited to envision impossible worlds, daring heroes, and
strange creatures living in the land of myth and legend. There’s a
reason why so many speculative stories spellbind young readers with
their tales of misfits, outcasts, and kids with untapped stores of
tremendous bravery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For young readers on the lookout for adventure, here, in no
particular order, are some stunningly imaginative books that will bring
out the magic in everyday life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the #1 spot is “Charis: Journey to Pandora’s Jar” by Nicole Y.
Walters. Charis has been waiting all her life for a chance to show her
stuff. Now, it’s up to the hyper-imaginative thirteen-year-old to save
the world by visiting Pandora’s Jar, the place where demons and kind
spirits dwell. The catch? She’s only got five days to release the spirit
of Hope from the jar before mankind is officially doomed forever. With
the help of a few trusty deities and her best friend Gabe, Charis has to
summon up all her courage to set things right.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At #2, we have Diane Mae Robinson’s “Sir Princess Petra.” Even
Princesses get bored of being pampered sometimes. In this series,
nine-year-old Petra decides that she wants to become a knight. But even
though she’s got courage and cunning to spare, knighthood comes with its
own set of pressures and obstacles, like having to silence a dragon and
visit the spooky Forest of Doom. If she can overcome a few kooky
quests, she’ll find her true place in the kingdom.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At #3 is “The Hob and the Deerman” by Pat Walsh. Crowfield Abbey is a
peculiar place. It’s a portal, of sorts, between the world we know and
the Otherworld, a place where demons, boggarts, and all kinds of
creatures freely roam. When Walter, a “hob” spirit, returns to find
everything in disarray, he knows he needs to take action to help put all
the troubled spirits in the abbey to rest. But it will take a lot of
help, and a lot of courage, to cross paths with the Deerman of the
forest and live to tell the tale.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At #4 is Tomi Ungerer’s “Fog Island.” No one ever returns from Fog
Island. It’s a place shrouded in mystery, a place that Finn and Cara
have been warned against visiting. But when the two siblings disobey
their father and head for the far-off island, they’re in for more than
they bargained for. Is the ancient place just a pile of ruins? Or is
there a deeper mystery lurking, something that only the mercurial Fog
Man can unlock?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For #5 we have “There May Be a Castle” by Piers Torday.
Eleven-year-old Mouse knows he shouldn’t have survived the car crash
when he was thrown from the vehicle during a Christmas Eve drive to his
grandparents’ house. He woke totally fine, but in a world he barely
recognized. With the help of a magical sheep and a sardonic talking
horse, he’ll need to find his way to the castle if he wants to regain
entry to his own life. That is, if this place everyone speaks of is more
than the stuff of legend.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coming in at #6 is Clayton Smith’s “Mabel Gray and the Wizard Who
Swallowed the Sun.” The people of Brightsbane have had a rough time ever
since the eternal night started. After a wizard took away the daytime
from the land, he decided he needed to come back to steal a book of
magic spells that holds the key to the township’s total destruction.
Luckily, a spirited orphan named Mabel is going to set things right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If she can summon up the courage to deal with a series of fantastical
creatures and hair-raising quests, she might find a way to break her
hometown’s terrible curse forever.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At #7 is Heather Mackey’s “Dreamwood.” Runaway Lucy has a fair amount
of experience with supernatural forces. Her father is an expert on the
subject, and she’s on a quest to find him and bring him back so she
doesn’t have to go to that dreadful boarding school anymore. The problem
is, her father isn’t where she thought he’d be. Could it be that the
enchanted forest of Dreamwood proved too powerful a match for him?
There’s only one way to find out: by heading into the heart of the
living grove, no matter the consequences.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coming in at #8 is “The Secret Life of Daisy Fitzjohn” by Tania
Unsworth. Some might call Daisy’s life unusual: her best friends are a
talking rat and a ghost, and she lives in an old estate that’s slowly
falling apart. When her mother leaves on a strange expedition and
doesn’t return, Daisy knows she can’t hide within the walls of
Brightwood Hall any longer. She’ll have to do what it takes to save her
home and keep her family together, with only the help of her eclectic
sidekicks to guide her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At #9 we find Pseudonymous Bosch’s “Bad Magic.” Clay knows there’s no
such thing as magic. He’s seen a million sleight-of-hand shows and he
knows they’re just tricks. That said, there are a few things happening
at Earth Ranch that he can’t explain. Clay was supposed to be sent to
the rehabilitation camp to be “scared straight.” But there’s more at
work here than a few obstacle courses and hikes. For one thing, he’s
having conversations with llamas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For another, he may or may not have just seen a ghost. If there’s
magic on Earth Ranch, Clay needs to make sure it’s not the deadly kind.
If he can make it off the volcanic island without causing an explosion,
he’ll count himself lucky.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, at #10, is “The Mad Wolf’s Daughter” by Diane Magras. When
Drest’s family of male warriors is taken captive, she finds herself in a
unique position. All her life, her father and brothers took care of
her. Now, she’s got to free her kin with the help of a witch, a
soft-spoken knight, and her own fierce courage. With a mysterious bandit
out to get her and her sense of independence growing by the day, Drest
will find herself taking chances, slaying personal demons, and doing
things she never dreamed herself capable of.</span><br />

Twelve-year-old Lindsey McKay’s biggest dream is to be a famous ballerina. But after moving to New York, she ends up at the Community Center with a teacher who’s a burly bear in tights.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When she meets Madame Destinée, the teacher of a top dance school who offers her classes for free, Lindsey can’t believe her luck. In exchange, she must perform in the school’s exclusive midnight shows, ones sure to make her a star. But something’s not right…</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One by one, the other dancers disappear. Each time they do, a music box with a figurine just like the missing ballerina joins Madame Destinée’s growing collection. If Lindsey doesn’t discover the truth about the dance school, she might end up a tiny figurine herself.</div>

Lindsey McKay is a wonderful main character: adventurous, passionate, caring, talented, and a girl who, unintentionally, will becomes the sleuth in solving the mystery of the missing ballerinas at Madame Destinée’s dance school. Madame Destinée’s is a well-portrayed villain and a force to be reckoned with, but through Lindsey’s sheer bravery and willpower, she must find a way to beat Madame Destinée and the powers of her evil magic.</div>

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Music Boxes. The adventure, suspense, and twists of plot were well paced. The characters become real to the reader in the first pages. And once the adventure began, it didn’t stop until the end.</div>

About The Book</h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hurly the squirrel is as cute as they come, but would he make a good house guest? <br />When
Hurly invites himself into a boy’s home, the boy quickly learns that
squirrels do not have pleasing inside-the-house manners.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“He chatters and scratches, he picks at the latches<br />of cupboards that hold all my food!<br />And if they resist, his teeth will persist,<br />and sly is his favorite mood.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This hilarious and brightly illustrated tale of how a squirrel can create chaos will delight young and old readers alike. </span></span><br />
<h2>
What I Thought</h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is an ingenious picture story book–it’s an adorable, fun story
and a fact book all in one! The story of Hurly Burly the squirrel,
written in charming rhyme, unfolds as he invites himself to become a
house guest of a little boy. Hurly Burly is trouble, for sure, but he’s
the most lovable squirrel ever. So what can the boy do to keep Hurly
Burly around but cut down on the chaos in the house? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The squirrel facts (included on every page at the bottom of the
story) are delightful and will educate children while they are
entertained with the humorous story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Illustrator Laura Christine Tiralla has captured the essence of Hurly Burly with wonderful artwork.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"My students were spellbound with Tad's adventures to a magical land."<br /><br />A
Turtle's Magical Adventure is a charming, heart-warming story of a
turtle who doesn’t like his shell because it makes him too slow. <br />Tad
asks other slow animals if they also mind being slow. Each one gives an
answer that helps Tad feel better, but, still he wants to be fast. <br />He
happens upon a snake who tells him there is a wizard that can make him
fast. He goes on an adventure into The Magical Timberwood Forest to meet
the wizard and hopefully get his wish fulfilled. <br />He encounters
delightful, magical creatures along the way but also meets with danger
and choices. Will Tad get his wish or will the wizard turn him into
turtle soup?<br /><br />Join Tad, the turtle, on his adventure in this cute
chapter book that helps children learn self-esteem and confidence as
they experience Tad's search for self-acceptance and learning to love
himself. This fun and cute read aloud book subtly addresses social
skills as Tad makes new friends with a gnome, lightning bugs, a worm, a
duck, and a snail. Children will enjoy this magical fantasy adventure
with an evil wizard that has a heart. A beautiful story that reads like
an Aesop Fable that teaches an important life lesson.<br /><br />"Fun fast-paced. It srikes right at the heart of every person's tendency to compare themselves to others."</span><br />

is a charming story with a strong message for children. Tad the turtle
doesn't like something about himself. He wants to change and become more
like others he admires. Tad is willing to risk a lot to change himself
and become what he thinks will make him happy, even venture into the
forbidden forest to seek out the magician's help.<br />On Tad's adventure,
he meets a snake, a snail, a duck, a lame gnome girl, and the
not-so-accomodating magician; and all the character's opinions weigh on
Tad's view of himself and help him decide what is right for him.<br />Children will love this story because it delightfully shows why it's okay to be who you are.</span></span></span><br />

There's truth in their wise words, they always give me inspiration and something deeper to think about. Here's a few of my favorite authors and their quotes.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "If I waited until I felt like writing, I'd never write at all." Anne
Tyler</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Only in men’s imagination does every truth find an effective and
undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master
of art as of life." Joseph Conrad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally I dig down underneath them
so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought
their anecdotes were about." Alice Munro</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"> "</span>No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing." E. B. White</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "In order to write the book
you want to write in the end, you have to become the person you need to become
to write that book." Junot Diaz</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> "There is no greater agony than an
untold story inside you." Maya Angelou</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "I try to create sympathy for my characters, then turn the monsters loose." Stephen King</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Prose is architecture, not interior decoration." Ernest Hemingway</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have
sincerity and passion, it doesn’t matter a damn how you write." Somerset Maugham</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great
writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant
labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer." Ray Bradbury</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer." Joseph Conrad.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: grey;"> "</span>Half my life is an act of revision." John Irving</span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <span style="color: grey;">"</span>A word is dead<br />
When it is said,<br />
Some say.<br />
I say it just begins<br />
to live that day." Emily Dickinson</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Begin with an individual, and before you know it you have created a
type; begin with a type, and you find you have created – nothing." F. Scott Fitzgerald</span><br />
