The Angel's Song Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book will help all count their blessings and remember that family is most important, especially during the holidays. The author does a masterful job of helping the reader understand what it would be like for a child to go from unfortunate circumstances to a loving home. I recommend this book. I have enjoyed it, and my wife has enjoyed it every Christmas for the last six years.

The Higher Power of Lucky Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book for my 8 and 11 year old boys. And then I bought more for presents for my friends' kids.
The idea that some librarians are choosing to keep this book off the shelves due to the use of the word "scrotum" right at the beginning of the book is more offensive than the word. Reality check: my boys have lots of words for that part of the anatomy, it's about time they read the proper word used in context of another boy saying it.
Surprisingly, if it is the "word" that stuns people, then they haven't read the book and thought about how stunning it is to consider a child (Lucky) listening in on a variety of 12-step groups. But those two aspects, and all the rest of the "shocking" things that happen in this book, are all absolutely appropriate, and beautifully written, to make this book something special.
I highly recommend "Lucky", and I fully agree with the age suggestion assigned it (9-12). My 8yo thought it was awesome, but then, he is in the 4th grade. My 11yo loved it.
The reality is kids in this age range have all kinds of scary ideas and powerful curiosities. Being able to read about Lucky going through such things gave my kids the opportunity to think about and talk about all kinds of things. As a family, we thought this was an excellent book.
As for the librarians and teachers who think they don't want to have to give a vocabulary lesson on the word scrotum, ask them how many times they have heard boys in the 9-12 age range yell a variety of less savory words for that part of their anatomy. The scientifically correct word is always worth teaching.
Read it for yourself, and see.
