Book Description Reviews (2)
This story is about two sixth grade twin brothers who have to work together to help one of them make a higher grade in science. Through out the story, Judge Jenkins is struggling with dyslexia and is having trouble in school. Jury, his twin brother does good in school but only studies get by. Judge needs to get at least a D in science and the only way is to enter in the Science Rally and place in the top three. He signs him and his brother up without asking Jury. Jury is angry, but in the end realizes that he has to help his brother do good on the project or the both of them will be sent to a private school. They compete with other school and do pretty well. Read the book and find out what happens. In my opinion the book was not very good. I did not find it exciting and it did not keep my attention. Most of the book has to deal with dyslexia and all the problems that go along with it. There are a few funny parts where the brothers are fighting and the mother is messing around with them. I would recommend this book to someone who does not like adventure. I was disappointed with the ending because it leaves you hanging.

Book Description There are big dogs, little dogs, curly dogs, dogs that sniff, and dogs that wag their tails. But only one dog will get biscuits from twins Jimmy and Janet -- or will it? Maybe dog biscuits aren't just for dogs after all! Reviews (5)
In fairness to theauthor, the story is easy for children to understand. There is nothingwrong or confusing about the story, but as a parent reading it to yourchildren, after several pages of repetitive scenarios/dialogue, you mayfind yourself wanting to skip to the end saying, "...blah, blah, blah,blah, and they lived happily ever after. Next book please!" ... Read more | |

Book Description For Mary-Kate and Ashley, everything is about to change over their Graduation Summer ... This second book in a trilogy focuses on the sobering events of the immediate summer, as the girls finally close the door on their high school years (not to mention many long-term relationships with friends and others), and take time to reflect upon where they've been, where they are now, and where they're heading as college looms just around the corner. School is out and the fun continues! This is sure to be the greatest summer of Mary-Kate and Ashley's lives. But as college looms closer, will they really be able to say good-bye to their close friends and their first loves? | |

My thirteen-year-old daughter first introduced me to these books, and I must say that I enjoy them as much as she does. Jane Yolen does an excellent job of bring Scotland to life for the American reader (please remember that there is a Scottish glossary at the back!). In general, the author does not spend too much time on character development (outside of the children and their grandmother, the characters are very two-dimensional), but for many young readers, this will not prove a problem. So, let me just say that my daughter and I both enjoyed this book, and we highly recommend it to you!
The thing I wondered about at the beginning of the story was where Peter and Jennifer where at and why Peter was so excited about the sun. "I don't believe it!' Peter cried. His body showed his astonishment even more than his face, for his arms and hands were raised, and his feet did a [rather] noisy jig under the kitchen table. It was the most animated he'd been in days, even though he was clearly putting it on. Spoon half lifted, Jennifer looked up from her porridge and stared at her twin. 'You don't believe in what?' Given that they had already had days of magic, it wasn't an idle question. 'Sun,' Peter said, pointing out the window" (Yolen 1). If I had a twin that got that excited about something I would go crazy! I picked this book because I like the style of Jane Yolen's writing. I really like the part in the book where Peter and Jennifer are at the graveyard in the daylight planning for the night ahead. "The dog's toothy grin grew wide. His great pink tongue lolled out of his mouth like a dare. 'We could sneak out, I suppose,' Peter said slowly. 'Peter!' Jennifer's voice registered shock. It was such an un-Peter thing to suggest. But she'd already thought the same thing. Twins do. 'Tonight,' they both breathed together" (Yolen 17). Even though I like to read books about ghosts and other creatures of the night I wouldn't want to really see one! That would just creep me out! The title of this book means exactly what it says, the Bagpiper's Ghost. The ghost is the long lost love of Mary MacFadden. He went to fight in a war and he died there. Mary's brother was supposed to her a message, but he didn't. "Bonnie Prince Charlie is nae [not an] Italian upstart, brother, but the son o' our king from across the sea. And Iain was a patriot to go to his aid, though it cost him his life at Culloden.' From beyond the gate, the piper's mouth gaped open." (Yolen 50). It goes on to talk about how Mary's brother didn't give her the message and how that was bad. If I had a brother that then I would hate him till the end of the earth.
This is a great story, harkening back so clearly to ancient folk stories. I especially liked the traditional idea of women as possessors of ancient wisdom and power, beyond men and their science, powerful and yet healing in nature. This is a great book that I recommend to everyone with children, especially girls.
American twins Peter and Jennifer have hit a rough spot, and are bickering both with each other and with the talking dog. After the dog piques their interest in the "White Lady" ghost, they come to the graveyard at midnight, and see the White Lady (also known as Mary MacFadden) meet the ghost of a bagpiper, Iain McGregor. But they aren't the only ghosts -- in a centuries-old confrontation, the spirit of the lady's twin brother, Andrew, appears in Peter's body, having helped separate the ancient lovers due to class and religious differences. And once in Peter's body, he doesn't intend to LEAVE. Jennifer and Gran must find some way of getting rid of Andrew, while reuniting Mary and Iiain... Yolen retains the same charm and sense of pervasive magic in this third story. Writing is delightful, especially the climax. The descriptions of the possessed Peter/Andrew's behavior is absolutely chilling. The dialogue is thoroughly convincing (yes, even the animals like Thunder and the dog), with the distinct Scottish burrs that add the final note of authenticity. (As with the previous two books, there's a word guide at the end of the book, if you can't understand some term or accented word) There isn't much comedy, but the insult wars between the dog and Peter are hilarious. Don't be worried, kids who dislike romance, there is almost no mushiness in this book. Gran, a delightful old Scottish white witch, is still a great counterpoint to the inexperienced twins. Molly and the parents aren't very present in this one. Jennifer and Peter show a little more difference with each other, as Jennifer realizes just how much she cares about her brother when she risks losing him. The dog is also a good character, intermittently caring and obnoxious, but always enjoyable to read. A wonderful third instalment, may Yolen write many, many more. ... Read more | |

In this book, Janine Palmer decides to skip class with her boyfriend, Scott, to go to the beach. On their way, they get into a terrible car accident at an intersection. Janine was put into a deep coma. During her coma she sees her dead grandfather and twin sister, Lenore. They try to speak to her and tell her to wake up and go back to her family. Janine then wakes up, but she realizes that she is not alone. Her twin's voice is haunting her. Is Janine having hallucinations from the accident, or is her twin really living in her body? I really liked the characters in this book. Janine really had a lot of personality to her. The way she was described really made her interesting to read about. There wasn't a whole lot of action in this book, but it was suspenseful. I was constantly impatient to find out what was going to happen next. It's really hard to put this book down after you get really into it. The conflicts that Janine and Lenore kept having made it seem so real. They would argue and fight like real sisters do. The descriptions of what made Janine so mad helped you to feel like you were in the character's place. It also made it seem like Lenore was life-like. I would recommend this book to middle school children and older. It might get confusing to kids who are younger than that. You would definitely enjoy this book if you like suspense, mystery and even a little action.
My opinion of this book is that I think that only mature childern should read this book because of all the horror. I think this book is very good because of all the details. This book taught me a good lesson, to never skip school with a boy that can get me killed. It also taught the importance of having love for my brother's and sister's.
