The Crier's Club may be fictional, but it handles the topic of terminal illness with dignity, sensitivity, and intelligence. This is a really good book...it is likely to have broad appeal.

For children, or even adults looking for an undemanding read, this unusual fantasy story is excellent.

A good, relaxing story, although it's very short - a ten minute read for most. It is a coffee-break read but it is a fun one.

Four women, four short stories, four very different lives. Lovers of women's fiction and character drama should look this up. I'd also suggest them to literary fiction readers, as the character portrayals are that strong.

Fans of psychological horror or thrillers might want to pick this up. For those looking for books with lesbian characters this is excellent, but I'm not sure romance would be the right word

It is good, but nothing outstanding. Its audience - homeschoolers and their parents - would find it useful...

not for the squeamish, or the easily disturbed...Nothing in the book is gratuitous, however. It is a blunt and detailed medical drama, without sugar-coating.

obtrusive bright blue hyperlinks in the middle of the detective story: that's right it is a Choose Your Own Adventure...but it uses the same hyperlinks for items external to the book it wants to you buy or look up.

This is an excellent YA or older children's book, with a gripping fast-moving plot, distinct and real characters, all with their own drives, desires, and flaws.

An intriguing mystery...a strong start, good characters and the writing flows well. The real problem is the ending, which is weak.

This is one of the best dystopian stories I have read, but it's also a spectacular single room piece and character-driven drama.

a bright, enjoyable, short children's story which younger children should love.

Unrated (DNF?) with a sense of utter bemusement. I'm not sure I ever found the story in this

Fans of cozy mystery or small town stories will love this book, and frankly so will anyone looking for something to lift the mood, a clean romance, or a comedy of errors crossed with farce.

Overall, it is a good story about growing up, ideal for teenagers and particularly girls who are into sports.

Explaining breast cancer, or any kind of cancer, to preschool children is very difficult but this book handles it exceptionally well
