I liked this book, especially as it took place down under. Take an almost perfect teenage girl and have her notice a bumbling but talented artistic boy and combine them with time-travel, ESP, and medieval witchcraft and lore. The result is a Julian Thompson cast in a Margaret Mahy plot. There is, no doubt, an audience for fantasy that seems grounded in this contemporary reality of high school and single-parent households. Yet Dylan's artistic abilities and Juniper's telepathic powers never take on reality. The time traveling that takes the daring young woman into medieval times and the visions that she sends her friend to sketch never quiver or seem subject to any human failings. Even the trappings that could help readers buy into the fantasy, such as Juniper's completely medieval room, seem artificial. Real life, on the other hand is very hard--so difficult that breezy competent Juniper panics just crossing a shallow ford, and fails to realize that her popular boyfriend is a jerk--until he almost kills her. Dylan's home life is such a disaster that readers will wonder where he gets the energy to receive Juniper's mental images of another time and to render his perfect drawings. Jordan's fiery ending pulls together threads of story and, without dodging or prettifying, provides that climax to which all the earlier suspense has been leading. This is the best part of the book, and, while melodramatic, it has a genuineness and excitement that satisfies. It almost makes the book worthwhile. But not quite. --Carol A. Edwards, Buckham Memorial Library, Faribault, MN

This is a great way to think about teaching and what matters most. I have so many corners turned down, pages to return to in my thinking, and so many passages underlined to wrestle with later. Tom Newkirk again leads teachers to challenge what they're doing in a framework that is readable and arguable, but anchored in wide research and thought. A great book.

lots of fun because a lot of it is centered around Philadelphia, and it's always great to read what you know about. also exceedingly well written, if not a little bizarre at times

This book is like an odd blend of Moneyball with A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius with the movie Wall St. Particularly given the current economic situation, I really loved reading this now and highly recommend it.

Really great writing, but I wish I had read this as part of a class or something because I am sure I am only getting the very surface meaning of what he's trying to express. I'll have to read it again sometime, but not before I pick up "Love in the Time of Cholera."

I've read this book 2 or 3 times now. I can't get enough of it. It's the story of a man who dies and shares his journey through a psychic who then delievers the transcript to the man's family. The descriptions are beautiful and the way "heaven" is depicted - it seems like a realistic idea, not perfect but extremely complex. You follow this man through his path to either enlightenment or another life. I felt intensely sypathetic with most of the main characters and was just facinated by the storyline in general.

The beginning is not bad, the middle of the book gets really boring as the writer starts talking in a way that she wants you to believe she knows everything and the US is utopia. The ending is not great, but it is the best part of the book. In overall the book does not provide the readers with a true picture of the country and the society. But worths reading.
