What an exciting read for big imaginations! The Folk of the Faraway Tree is an Enid Blyton tale, following the adventures of four children in a magical woods. At the heart of the woods is an enchanted tree which is the home of some intriguing characters and mysterious lands. The children soon explore the tree and it's inhabitants and adventure quickly unfolds. It appears clear that the author intended to captivate the imaginations of young children with this book. As I child, I can remember reading this book, and the vivid pictures that played in my mind are still very clear today. I really felt like I was accompanying the children in their adventures, and often wished that one day I too would find an enchanted wood and a magical tree to visit! The children in this book are, in my belief, model children. Their friendliness and good will to all the characters in the book is lesson to young minds about how to treat others well. Enid Blyton introduces a naughty more spoilt character to the mix, to highlight the gentle natures of the well behaved Bessie, Fanny and Jo. For example when 'awfully stuck-up and spoilt' Connie comes to visit the children soon introduce friendship and kindness to her, and she soon learns that this more pleasant behaviour has more benefits that being disliked. The Folk of the Far away tree also has some other more intriguing characters; 'Dame Washalot' being my personal favourite. This character loves nothing more than to fill her day with washing clothes and throw the 'dirty soapy water' down the tree, with no consideration for anybody (or thing) that might be in its unexpected path. In my opinion, this character adds pure comical value to the story, particularly when unsuspecting individuals get completely drenched! This sort of character adds fun and laughter to the story and I can imagine if a child is being read to, both reader and listener can laugh together! This book is definately successful in captivating the mind of a young reader, the various magical lands are exciting and imaginative. It is also a success in the amount of different characters and adventures that take place within the book, the mini-adventures are relatively small in length but there still remains continuity throughout which adds to the charm. I would recommend this book to children over the aged of 8, however I would warn children that some small parts of the vocabularly may be unfamiliar as the some of the expressions are rather dated! I would rate this as a book of five star quality. Overall a charming read!

I really appreciated this look at the events of September 11, 2001. Van Why talks about his experience on that day but also of the days following, how he and his fellow New Yorkers went about getting back to their lives. The world stopped...but then it had to start again, and how do you start again after something like that? This is by no means an exhaustive, in-depth disaster-survival story, but Van Why's account brought this story home to me in a way that nothing else had before. I've never been to New York, so the only mental images I have are sort of the movie versions of New York--the tall buildings, all the people on the sidewalks, the cabs, Wall Street. With all its millions of fashionable, never-sleeping, corporate-lunching people, New York always seemed a little unreal. Van Why's details of his everyday life though, things like eating lunch in a plaza, enjoying a few minutes of sunshine, watching the tourists take in the sights that he'd come to regard as part of everyday life? I could relate to that; I finally had a way to relate New York life to my island life and suddenly I could really imagine the contrast of living your life one minute and the world literally falling down around you the next in a way that I hadn't been able to before. While this book reminds us of all the terrible things that happened that day, it also highlights the ways in which the citizens of New York pulled together to help each other out, to offer each other comfort and support in a time of fear and confusion.
