Basically there are two main storylines with a myraid of minor ones. The first is Tar Man lost in the 21st century-how he succeeds. Not changing his ways very much-rather adapting his talents to first survive and then to carve out a rather successful career in crime with the aid of another time traveler refugee Tom and a 21st century girl Anjali. He also manages to learn how to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (corky3) http://itsamustread.yuku.com/topic/7680 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:07:51 GMT <![CDATA[ Twilight ]]> http://itsamustread.yuku.com/topic/7653/t/Twilight.html Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Aunt Mary Beth) http://itsamustread.yuku.com/topic/7653 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:47:29 GMT <![CDATA[ The Kingdowm Keeper's-Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson ]]> http://itsamustread.yuku.com/topic/7589/t/The-Kingdowm-Keeper-s-Disney-After-Dark-by-Ridley-Pearson.html This is a great book for the child and adult. Features Disney World. If you have been to Disney World( Magic Kingdom actually) you will feel at home. ( We have been so many times it is our second home ) If you have not been there, will make you yearn to go. Keeps your attention and isn't to long. Just an excellent book. Even having it read to the child would make them fall in love with this book. There is a second book we have not read yet. Waiting on the library.

The thief he needs for the long, dangerous journey is Gen. To the Magus, Gen is just a tool. But Gen has ideas of his own."

I found this an enchanting novel. Set in Venice-modern day it is a story of a group of children -street children lead by the mysterious Thief Lord.
