Reviews
"I had high hopes for this book, thinking it would be fun to make stuff with my son later and not have to make junk food and fluorescent cupcakes. No, but I am not publishing a book... Also, the book sounds like it is trying very hard to talk at a child's level, to the point where it almost sounds patronizing."
"I am new to this way of cooking and I found this to be a great introduction for me as a cook and for my whole family as we adjust our palate."
"Each section (Kitchen Tools, Measuring Guide, Incredible Eggs, Mighty Milk, Butter is Better, Super Snacks, Vibrant Vegetables, The Secret's in the Soup, Friendly Ferments, Soak, Sour and Sprout!, Meet your Meat, My Healthy Lunch, What's for Dessert?)."
"Geared for younger children say 7-10, written on a level they can comprehend."
"But this is a gift for the children of my Amish Neighbors it seems that most people both English and Amish alike have no idea what is in the food they put into their bodies Weston a price does an excellent job of clarifying that lack of knowledge."
"Very helpful cookbook."
"My 10 year-old daughter LOVES it."
"We didn't know this was for kids when we got it... but it is extremely well-done, and our kids love it!"

Who Moved My Cheese? for Teens
Help a teen you know deal with the changes in his or her life with the book that has helped so many others. The core of this teen book--a cheesy (literally) allegory about four characters navigating a maze in pursuit of happiness (cheese) with varying success--is identical to the cheese-quest story told in Johnson's grownup book. But most criticisms of the book (and there have been many) boil down to the fact that Cheese is just too reductive and simplistic, and sometimes change in our lives can and should be resisted.

Best Teen & Young Adult Physical Impairment

We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a true story
From a disastrous Putt-Putt date involving a backward prosthetic foot, to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing), and a misguided "grand gesture" at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for love--or at least a girlfriend--in all the wrong places. "Josh Sundquist has written a sharp, funny memoir without an ounce of self-pity about how the fear of rejection can be far more crippling than any disease. A hilarious, heartfelt reminder that finding the courage to accept love is an inside job. Anyone who's felt awkward will alternately (or simultaneously) wince and burst out laughing at his earnest misadventures with stalkers, "Close Fast Dancing" and flow charts... but above all, they'll be rooting for Sundquist to hang out with a girl. "An autobiographical account that's equal parts hilarious and cringe-inducing...While his recent interviews and meetings with the girls from his past are often just as uncomfortable as their dates were, they also lead to answers as genuine as his narrative. From a disastrous putt-putt date to just general, suffusing awkwardness, Josh (who grew up to be a Paralympic ski racer) discovers that revisiting the past can be both embarrassing and enlightening.
Reviews
"This young man survived a horrifying bout of childhood cancer which resulted in one of his legs being amputated at the hip. As he explains, this is a severe physical impairment because no prosthetic device ever invented can replace the actions of three joints. Eventually the problem solved itself because his body rejected the prosthesis and he's now limited to crutches. This book forces the reader to examine America's strange attitude toward the physically handicapped. We like to hear from the handicapped and we like to pat them on the back because it makes us feel good about ourselves. Attending their motivational speeches and cheering loudly solves the problem of our ambivalent attitudes toward the "differently-abled." In a culture where youngsters hook-up and hope that sex will lead to romance, he's feeling guilty for THINKING about kissing a girl. This book is quirky and some shy teens may relate to his stories of awkward attempts to find romance. However, the story about the time when the foot of his prosthesis turned backwards was unique. Stella wasn't his problem and I'm not unreasonable enough to think he could have made a huge difference in her life."
"It was an easy read, and broken down into very manageable parts (if you like to read a section and then put it down for awhile)."
"Laugh out loud funny."
"Double bang for the buck as whether your a teen or beyond, it's a good read!"
"An epic (and awkward) adventure into Josh's life reveals that we all learn from life's challenges."
"I would recommend this book to anyone mid teen on up."
"Even if a random stranger stumbled across this book, thay'd fall in love immediately....unlike Josh."
"Very funny novel about a young man who can't quite get it together when meeting and courting women."

Best Teen & Young Adult Diseases, Illnesses & Injuries

Mountains Beyond Mountains (Adapted for Young People): The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World
From Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Truck Full of Money , and adapted by Michael French comes this captivating and critically acclaimed young adult adaptation of the nonfiction edition of Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains , which tells the inspiring story of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Harvard-educated doctor with a self-proclaimed mission to transform healthcare on a global scale. Farmer focuses his attention on some of the world's most impoverished people and uses unconventional ways in which to provide healthcare, to achieve real results and save lives. Still, books showing how one person can make a difference are always welcome in young adult literature and this one will be appreciated where the young readers' edition of Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin's Three Cups of Tea (Dial, 2009) has been popular. But for the full flavor of the man's life and his impact on the author, older readers should seek out the original.-Kathleen Isaacs, Children's Literature Specialist, Pasadena, MDα(c) Copyright 2011.
Reviews
"This book provides a glimpse not only into the medical and sociological challenges of Haiti and other impoverished regions, but into the culture of those who serve, support those who serve and in many cases obstruct those who serve."
"Tracy Kidder has done a fantastic job of writing a non-fiction book almost as if it was fictional, I had to keep reminding myself while reading this that these events most certainly did happen and Paul Farmer is a real human being on this Earth."
"This is an extremely well-written biography of Dr. Paul Farmer, a remarkable man and doctor who co-founded Partners In Health, originally based in Haiti- now world-wide."
"Slowly, he built up a far-flung organization around him, staffed by a mixture of low-paid professionals and unpaid volunteers, and largely funded by donations from a Boston real estate developer. In Haiti, they built a hospital in a remote location on the central plateau, expanding it piece by piece as funding allowed, and eventually turned it into a pilgrimage place for the international health community and the rural poor alike. That he did this while trekking to remote Haitian villages, flying around the world constantly, running clinics and hospitals, AND practicing hands-on medicine, passes all understanding."
"This book is a documentary of the struggles and triumphs of Dr. Paul Farmer and his relentless pursuit of helping the poor in Haiti with TB, H I V and other infectious diseases."
"Once Farmer reaches a goal, he strives toward the next one, living out the Haitian proverb that "beyond mountains there are mountains". Mountains Beyond Mountains is a great read that flows well and takes the reader around the world to places where people struggle to obtain the simple necessities of life.... reminding us that there is much work to be done in terms of equality and health world-wide."
