Brandy Stokes _randy_tokes — I wasn't sure about the cover, so I put it on hold. While it was sitting in my drawer, waiting to be read, I had a kid ask for a funny mystery. He needed to read a certain number of pages by the end of the week. I saw this on the new book shelf and told him I hadn't read it, but it looked good, and he should try it. He grabbed the book and completely stopped looking. Less than a week later (note that he'd probably finished the requirement by now), he came back to me, book in hand, and asked what else we had like this. He REALLY liked it. So I read it. :) And yeah, it's pretty dang good. It's told in a noir style, like "Brick" (Joseph Gordon-Levitt film which came out in 2005), using gumshoe vocabulary to describe a detective's experience solving a case. But in a middle school. Where the addictions are to sugar and you get "offed" by being shot by a squirtgun filled with cat pee. It's pretty darn brilliant (as long as it isn't a rip-off of Brick). Kinda hilarious, but without putting down the real difficulties of middle school. It's downright symbolic - after all, major humiliation in middle school really can take you out for all of your high school career. The author also does a great job of using the detective scenario to get to real kid problems. Our narrator speaks of his dad's disappearance as one of the "case[s:] always in the back of my mind" (pg. 70). Also, he's realistic (amidst the stylistic language), touching on how our hero and his dad bonded over playing sports - he talks about how the dad never let the son win, and in fact teased his kid... "Someone walking past might think that he was being cruel, making fun of his young son. They would be missing the mark. It wasn't my ability to catch a ball that we were bonding over, it was my ability to catch his sarcasm" (pg. 105-106). SUCH great stuff. Solid 5th/6th grade boy read. But seriously, you'll enjoy it too.

Carol Clifford clffcdb6a — A touching story. Although it takes place in a western Pennsylvania town, there is a lot of interesting history, explanation about Spanish bull fighting. I wish I had read this before I went to Spain last year!

Oscar Rodriguez oscbot — Urs is a peddler. He travels alone with only two horses, Lord and Lady, like friends. He is a good man, big and sturdy like the name leaves intended, a big Bear. But now one of his horses, Lady, needs cure, and he decides to stop to a rom gathering. He is welcomed by Lightfood, a young rom. From the first moment they meet, both Urs than Lightfood feel attraction and they simple decide to share some happy moments before Urs take the road again. But an old fortune teller says they maybe are fated to stay together and so, the young rom will decide to join Urs on his travel? Urs is the classical big man with a big body and also a big heart. He is gentle with everyone, men and animals. He respects the elders and is gentle with the kids the women. But he is a vagabond soul and he will not be happy to restrain himself. Light food is open and friendly, and he knows what he wants: he wants Urs, even if only for one night. He knows the road law and knows better to try to cage a bear. A short story with two interesting characters. Maybe worthy to develop a little more: I will be interested in reading more about this two. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VYX7T6/?...
