Thank you so much for this series where the heros are dyslexic kids. Thank you for making it available on the kindle, which is a great tool for dyslexic readers. But were you REALLY lost me was making it so the text-to-speach function doesn't work! Are you kidding? Bummer. Great series, but to limit the access for kids who REALLY need this type of hero in their lives... must have been another nasty... more

Publisher: Perfection Learning

I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book on the recommendation of a friend. What a delightful surprise. Not only did I learn a lot about Pakistan, but I learned a lot about the people who live there. From Mr. Mortenson's early naivete to his great achievements, it was such a wonderful account of desire triumphing over many obstacles. It also proved that we sometimes have impressions... more

For me, there is no greater praise for a book. I'm 3/4 through the book now, and already, it has challenged my views on food, farming, markets, and the US. And I kinda want to be a "grass farmer."... more

I picked this book up for fun one day at my bookstore job. It looked interesting & throughout my life, this was one of Vonnegut's books that everyone's crowed about. I just wish I'd liked it as much as they did.

I liked the... more
