Daddy Long Legs

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > School and Sports: Fiction
by: Jean Webster

September 28, 1995
I first read this wonderful book at the age of 10 and have reread it many times since. This moving and humorous story, relating the progression of Judy from unloved orphan in a children's home to eager young college student discovering the wider world, is accessible to people of all ages. Judy's naivety, imaginativeness, and bravery are communicated eloquently through the series of letters she writes to her benefactor, "Daddy Long Legs". A wonderful evocation of life in early twentiesth century America.

Clever, well timed, well researched, well written. You can't really ask for more from a book on football! This book will turn any boy's head to read, it includes American AND British football, now THAT'S clever. It includes boys and girls and romance and death and is NOT a kissing book. More Bloor!

Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > School and Sports: Fiction
by: Chris Crutcher

1993-04
Although it's not a classic, and I don't see why it's not, I love this book. It's probably not one of those books the school would recommend you read. But for any one who wants a good fun story, full of drama this book is it. I own the book, and I lend it out, very carefully of course, to anyone who loves to read, or doesn't, to show it off. I personally loved that this Mr. Crutcher wrote a great story from a 17 year old boy's point of view, with immaturity, he showed us probably exactly what a 17 year old boy would be thinking. I laughed at almost everything Moby said, his humour was unbelievable. The vocabulary was different, funny and clever. I know at times I sat down and talked to the book for what was going on, I yelled at Sarah's mother, I laughed ... Read More:

The first time I read this book was before it was published (some kind of advance copy) and I've read it at least ten times since then. It really is outstanding. There is no other character like Celine anywhere.

Heart of a Champion (Avon Camelot Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > School and Sports: Fiction
by: Carl Deuker

1994-05
Seth Barnam's father was a golfer, and it probably would have been Seth's game, too, but his dad died when Seth was only seven. Coming to terms with his father's death was difficult for Seth, but then he met Jimmy Winter. Jimmy has lots of baseball talent, and a father that demands perfection from him. The boys become fast friends, and both sign up for Little League, even though Seth feels inadequate compared to his new friend.

Their time together is spent practicing baseball, with Jimmy's father usually there to coach them and urge them to improve. Jimmy's intensity and self-assurance on the playing field begins to rub off onto Seth, too. He improves as a student and as a baseball player, and he dreams of being as good as Jimmy.

Then ... Read More:
