Haunted Island

By Joan Lowery Nixon

Book Overview

Written with warmth, strength, dedication, conviction, and based on experience, this is the book parents will gravitate to, who are looking for the guidance of God in raising cheerful, disciplined, well-mannered children. This workbook is a companion to the primary book and supportive CD's. It is the author's firm belief that as readers seek God and work through each lesson, important things will be learned about your children, readers themselves, and God that have never been seen previously -- truths that will transform the way people parent and enhance the quality of one's family life. The author, a strong Christian and martial arts Sensei, combines these important aspects of his life and has produced a timeless guide that delivers God's Word, opens eyes and can transform parents into godly leaders that can encourage their children, drive home critical principles, and give everyone invigorating things to think about. The message here is clear: Gold love you and your children. He is the perfect parent, who desires to show you things that will fulfil the entire family.

Great first suspense book

My teacher read this book to the entire 5th grade when I was in school. I am 26, and I still have fond memories of her reading that book to us! Every so often, I reread the copy that I have owned for the last 16 years. The story's twists and turns gave me shivers and was totally engrossing. I didn't want the teacher to stop reading, because she would always stop for the day at the best parts! Joan Lowery Nixon was one of my favorite authors as I began reading suspense novels, which is still my favorite genre. If you like a little good suspense, I highly recommend this great book!

Come and But it!

It is a compact and attractive story. I have just finished this morning, actually, I am living in Hong Kong. In this story, everytime when I read this book, I didn't want to stop. Moreover, there are some plots that were exceeding all my expectation. Also, I could see the writer did many ideas to make story more sucessful and attractive.

Review of Haunted Island

I just finished reading this book for my March book share. This book is one of my favorites. It made me jump out of my seat sometimes because it was so scary. It was so interesting I never wanted to stop reading until it ended. My favorite part was when they found the treasure and Amelia's body in the cave. It was an easy book to understand and I would recommend it to other fourth graders. I would want to read it again when I get older.
