Cable's Adventure Camp is a good game for all ages,more so for young children and us grandparents. It's easier to play than most games and was very affordable. My grandsons at 5&8 and me at 60 are having fun.

Cabeza de Vaca was part of the initial expedition to conquer Florida led by the Spanish governor of Cuba. It is an extremely interesting tale of his adventures walking naked and barefoot from the panhandle of Florida thru Texas. New Mexico, Arizona and Baja California. The book was excellently researched and the authors tracked his journey and give updated locations based on his descriptions. Truth is stranger than fiction and the story here is thriller.

This is definitely one of the best of The Oregon Files series, although they are all good!  There is a particular piece in this book where Juan Cabrillo runs into and rescues Kurt Austin (NUMA) in a warehouse.  This same scene was described in the NUMA series reading where Kurt runs into Juan Cabrillo in this ware house (you have to be a Cussler fan to know what I am talking about).  This was a great adventure.  It was a bit sad when Mike Trono was killed but it does add some reality to this fiction.  Great read and very exciting!  Looking forward to the next Oregon Files book.

Winner of the Newbery Award, this book has been read by many students in my classes. It is an exciting "true-life" adventure of an Indian woman stranded on an island off the coast of California. She must learn survival skills. Will hold the attention of both boys and girls. Excellent read!

This is a classic camp tale told each summer throughout the USA. At Clearwater Camp... it continues to be an annual event that campers and counselors looked forward to. Flying teacups and that wicked Tajar offer opportunities for the imagination to run wild and campers still initiate their own stories upon hearing the wonderful tale of this mythical animal. A story that can be enjoyed by one and all - this edition has wonderful illustrations that should not be missed.

We spent a day breaking this in at Bear Lake, UT. It worked great for both the the adults and kids. The kids particularly like the tow rope hook. The retractable fins are a nice touch, but I question how long the mechanism will last before it breaks, or the fins break.

Precious little Native American puppet that was a real hit with our campers this summer at Camp Memaw and Grandaddy a la Native Americans. Our grandchildren love to enact puppet shows every year at camp!

This story is for those children ages 8 to 12 and grades 3 to 6.

Charles and Louisa Brighton are going to their homestead with their children, William (13) and Sarah (5).  Little did they know that the rapids would separate them - children on one fork and their  parents on the other.

I found it to be a real adventure with the children having the ability to fend for themselves - despite meeting an ugly man, Pierre Lamont.  Pierre's dog (named Bandit by Sarah) helped the kids in their journey home.  Bandit didn't really appreciate his former master.

Most interesting read for me and it stresses the importance of never giving up!

Most highly recommended.

I love this book, it's very entertaining and my son gets very excited every time i read it to him. He likes the pictures specially the bear with the red heart. This book can really motivate you to go on vacation with your kids so they could actually have as much fun as Zola.

We hiked to the top of Nui Ba Den (or Black Lady Mountain).  LP page 376 says it's a 6 hour trek to the top and back, but we took longer.

We didn't ride the cable cars part way up; we walked up from the very bottom.

Started 8:40 am, got back down about 6:30 PM, and we rode those lovely cable cars down the last part. If I ever do it again, I'm riding those cable cars up to the trail head.

Have you hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon? I have. 5,000 vertical feet down, 5,000 vertical feet back up.

Black Lady Mountain is 3,000 vertical feet up, 3,000 back down. And I can tell you it's a much tougher trail than the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon trails (both of them) are hands-free trails. That is, unless you want to occupy a hand with a walking stick, your hands are free to juggle hacky sacks, etc.

The Black Lady Mountain trail requires some hour-long boulder scrambles, and in some parts you had really better keep three on the rock and only move just one hand or foot at a time. Keep three on the rock. Really.

If you're no climber (I'm not) your upper body will be about half as sore as your legs the next day, because you are going to use both hands a lot. The next 2 or 3 days, getting up and down stairs was actually tough to do, real sore, so factor a recovery slow-down into your travel plans. I was way, way more wiped out than by hiking the Grand Canyon.

Don't try the trail to the top in flip-flops; we saw several sad dead flip-flops. Some nice Teva sandals were great.

Be careful, a bad fall is possible, a twisted ankle could happen even easier.

Take plenty of water. We screwed up on that, and were very hot and thirsty when we got down to the cable car station. Victory drinks never tasted so cool and sweet!

Take plenty of water. It's not hard to do, many vendors at the top of the cable car run.

The boat is a quality product.  Used on Black River, MO & lots fun for Grandson & I.  Husband prefers canoe.  Not a lot of room for 2 adults 11 yr old & small dog plus sm. dry bag.

I live in an Appalachian Trail state and have a lot of hiking and camping experience. This book captures the feeling of exploring new places and experiencing unexpected adventures. The author's descriptions of hiking, camping, and facing various challenges and difficulties along the trail are authentic and gripping.

As an elementary school librarian I've had the pleasure of sharing the book with students 5-11 years old in three different schools. The children greatly enjoy the action filled story and the author's close friendship with her dog. The book is a great read aloud because of the well written pace of the story. The illustrations are colorful and enhance the text. Children also enjoy reading the story on their own so they can savor it. I highly recommend this book. It is a wonderful story of friendship, adventure, and the determination to reach a goal.

It is clear that the author and her young dog, Ellie, share a unique bond. The author makes their story come alive in this exciting and inspiring true story.

Rebekah, her cousin and mouse are off on another fun adventure this time at summer camp. Just enough adventure to not scare us too badly. I love how the author weaves the story together. Reminiscent of Nancy Drew mysteries back in the day. Keep them coming is all I can say!

Good quick read. I was quite surprised at the amount of action and adventure packed into such a short story.  My seven year old enjoyed reading this story as well!!

This is an excellent adventure book for children aged about 7-10. While on summer vacation in Smugglers Cove, a seaside village in England, Joe, Sarah and Amy meet Will. Will is a local boy who knows the area very well. One day, when exploring the local castle, they hear the story of the Dobson Twins, brothers who broke into a back and stole a large amount of money. They were actually caught hiding out in the little village. While exploring the castle, Sarah loses her bracelet, but doesn't notice until the are building a sand castle on the beach.

After the waves destroy their sandcastle the group head back to the castle to find the bracelet. While there they come across the Dobson Twins and a bag full of money...

Will the group be able to escape from the castle and make it to safety? Will be be able to stop the thieves before they disappear for good with all the stolen cash? One click today and enjoy!!

Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping is full of antics of a young girl at a campout.  These books spark an interest in reading that will last a lifetime in young girls.  I highly recommend Scholastic books.
