To my regret, sixteen years ago in Ms. McCullough's 10th grade English class, I cheated on my book report and didn't actually read this book as intended by the assignment. Instead, I read the SparkNotes version. My twisted moral reason being that this lie was better than reading a book with "witchcraft and magic." Such material was prohibited in my upbringing. Years later, I saw the film as an adult along with the other Lord of the Rings films and was quite fascinated with the tale of courage and found middle earth completely captivating. During this winter reading challenge, I was delighted to find the book on Libby and had every intention of correcting this wrong of sixteen years ago by reading it (listening). It wasn't until I was about halfway through that I realized it was a 1968 BBC radio dramatisation that, while apparently a classic in its own rite, leaves a great deal of content out from the original book. I hope this is still considered an audiobook as it was on Libby, but I was dismayed to find that it was not, in fact, the original book. The task remains for me to read the other book, but I did enjoy this retelling nonetheless.

Good Book

It was CRAZY!

Awesome story! I listen to it every night.

Felt like an adventure. I loved reading this book!??

OK, the story was about a holiday with Mickey in it and it was in the holiday. It was called Divaili.

A truly inventive story about living with robots, this tells the story of a boy Whose mother is a genius inventor. But he gets worried when she sends a robot to school with him. The story is a heart- warming novel

An excellent ending to the Belmont Mansion trilogy. Musical readers will especially enjoy this Reconstruction-era story of Rebekah Carrington, a young musician just returning from extensive training in Vienna. Rebekah sadly finds that she must hide the light of her talent under a bushel, due to her status as a female. However, she continues her work as a music tutor, eventually landing a position as the capable assistant to the conductor of the fledgling Nashville Symphony, Tate Whitcomb. They each learn to embrace their respective heritages as the keys to their success, and soon become a celebrated team. However, with Tate learning that he is losing his hearing, and Rebekah on the run from her predatory step-father, they find their faith seriously challenged. The story emerges with a happy ending, in which both Rebekah and Tate learn to trust God with their future, and each other with their hearts. The end result is sweetly satisfying (if a bit rushed at the end), with a golden vein of faith throughout.

This book is nice. It gave a good starting idea of how to use money and how to spend it.
