A spectacular adventure in fairyland that weaves in threads of old, familiar tales with completely original ideas and characters. Recommended for ages 10 and up!

I don't know how to summarize this book, but I can say that it captivated me from the first page and didn't let go, even after the final chapter.

Once you start reading this series, you will not be able to rest until you're through--or, at least, through the most recent installment. Then, you'll have to join the rest of Martin's fan club in waiting anxiously for his next novel. Though this is a fantasy series, the real draw here is the intricately plotted story of a kingdom at war and the memorable characters who play their parts in the high stakes game of thrones--a game in which you win, or you die.

This book will knock you for a loop. The strong, sure voice of Little Bee is a testament to the power of good writing.

A mind-bending mystery from a science fiction/fantasy master. Mieville's obvious enjoyment of language is as much a part of what I love about his writing as his stories.

With his first historical novel, Dennis Lehane has produced a book that will certainly bring him to the attention of those who haven't yet read his enthralling mystery stories. In The Given Day, Lehane tackles the events of 1919 that shook Boston to its core. From the influenza epidemic, brought from Europe by returning soldiers, to the fateful police strike that turned the city on itself, Lehane has written a powerful and memorable story.
