Book Description

Shy Juliet Dove leaves Mr. Elives' magic shop with Helen of Troy's amulet--a virtual man magnet. Juliet doesn't know what she's got, but soon every boy in town is swoony for her. Yet, much as she'd like to lose all the unwanted attention, she can't: The amulet won't come off!

A sidesplittingly funny, heartbreaking whirlwind of a book about the high cost of loving, from the award-winning author of My Teacher Is an Alien and The Unicorn Chronicles.

A Kids Review.......2007-08-24

Juliet Dove Queen of Love is about a girl, Juliet, who wonders into a mystical magic shop hidden in a part of her town. When she walks into the shop a lady at the counter showed Juliet an amulet. Juliet fell in love with the amulet because of it beautiful color and shape. She was told do not open this amulet for its color will crack. Juliet took the amulet home. I really liked this book because Juliet takes you on multiple adventures. Juliet meets all these Goddess who help her on her journey. These adventures are very descriptive and you feel like you are on the journey with her. I recommend this book to everyone. I really enjoyed it.

captivating to the last page!.......2006-07-06

I was going to write that my young daughter adores this book, but I have to admit that I love it too! She's read it cover to cover many times over, and now selects her "favorite parts" for me to read aloud at bedtime. Coville has authored a whole slew of books, but this is the one I like best, with the exception of his Shakespeare adaptations. The book is full of enjoyable characters and intriguing plot twists.

Juliet Dove Queen of Love.......2006-05-11

You might think Juliet Dove Queen of Love is a lovey dovey book just for girls. It's actually a very interesting book.
The author is Bruce Coville. The genre is fiction adventure. The main characters are Juliet Dove, Jerome, Roxanne,and a lot of different goddesses. Juliet Dove has an amulet that she can't get off. So all these boys start following her because they become in love. You have got to read it!!

In the beginning of the story Juliet Dove goes to a magic shop and a lady gives her this amulet. She doesn't want to leave it so she puts it on. In the middle of the story Juliet gets into all of these adventures trying to find out how to get the amulet off because it starts to tighten. Read this book to find out about the rest of her adventures.

The theme of this book is never talk to strangers. This book reminds me of someone I know in the middle school because boys are always chasing after her too. This book is great for girls in grade 2-5.

Funny, magical and gripping. The full cast presentation is lively and easy to follow. I enjoy the musical sound effects and multi voiced presentation.
This series is getting better and better.

Great Audio Book.......2004-09-30

The reading of this book on CD was wonderful, using a full cast. Even my 4 year old grandson liked listening to the parts with the voices of Jerome and Roxanne the talking rats. Very entertaining, and good story.

Book Description

Charlie Eggleston is the biggest liar in town. When he finds himself at Mr. Elives' magic shop, his eyes light upon the skull. He steals it, and it puts him under some sort of spell: Soon he can only tell the truth--but now no one believes him!

Customer Reviews:

This is a good book.......2007-08-15

This story is about a boy named Charlie. He lies a lot and finds a magic shop with a magic skull inside that forces people to tell the truth all the time. But Charlie finds out that he can get in to as much trouble by telling the truth as he can when he lies. But the skull ends up helping him learn about the truth and saves the swamp in his town from being destroyed.

I would recommend this book to other kids because they will really like Yorick the talking skull. He is a chatterbox and is always telling jokes. Charlie's aunt and uncle are funny by being boring all the time and that was good too.

I would rate this book with 5 stars because it is a really good book

Charlie Eggleston cries out in the book The Skull of Truth!
"Hold on to your skull"!

When Charlie Eggleston is running from a school bully, He runs through a swamp to get to freedom. While he is running the swamp ends. Then he sees the most odd and old magic shop.
While he is in the magic shop he starts looking around. He is looking for a pay phone to call his parents. When he is in the shop looking for a phone he hears a voice in the back room. The voice is really deep.
I thought this book was really good. It was funny in some parts. There were some sad parts too. Charlie Eggleston is a really funny kid. I really recommend this book to anybody who likes scary books or for people who like funny books too. It was really funny.

A wonderful story............2006-09-04

I would recomend this book to anyone, it is fantastic and funny. It made me laugh. It really took my imagination on an adventure. You really need to read this book.

The Skull of Truth.......2006-02-15

Though the idea of this book is intresting it didnt appeal to me, because the humor is corny and at times quirky. The plot of the story is cool but the writing style and characters could have been better. For instance the main character was a dork with a weird personality. However I did like the setting of the book. It was an average everyday town thrown into an extorordinary situation. Charlie, the main character develops a lot during the story. He goes from a liar to a truthful kid, which is good. The lesson learned in this book is kind of weird. It is ''Honesty is the best policy--sometimes."

Book Description

It all starts when Russell Crannaker buys a "monster's ring" from weird old Mr. Elives. Russell is sure the ring is just a silly magic trick -- but he follows the instructions anyway, and slips it on his finger. Then he whispers the magic chant, twists the ring once, and suddenly he's sprouting horns! Hair covers his face and hands. Russell has become...a monster!

Russell quickly learns how to change back and forth from human to monster. But he hasn't paid enough attention to the directions, and when he puts on the ring on the night of a full moon, and twists it three times, Russell realizes he's gone too far....

Customer Reviews:

The Monsters Ring.......2007-04-13

The Monsters Ring by Bruce Coville is a great book and I would recommend it but only for people 15 and younger. The story starts on a street. Russle is talking to Eddie on his way out of school talking to him and is saying that he is going to go to the magic shop. Russle is walking and he see's a magic shop. He walks in and is looking around and sees a ring. He picks it up and goes and shows it to his friend. Then they go to school. After school he drops the ring and it goes down the sewer.

Russel is really protective about the ring he gets in the magic shop. He is really protective of the ring for an example he does not let any body else touch it but himself. He has like a monster inside him because he is really nice but when he is mad he hurts someone. He hurt Eddie his best friend because he bumped in to him and his ring fell down the sewer. He is really selfish because he does not let any body else touch his ring He has brown hair and brown eyes.

You should read this book because it is certainty a great book?

A great book, and not just for Halloween.......2007-04-04

My nine-year-old son's teacher read this book to his class last Halloween, and he didn't stop asking for it. We finally got it this spring, and he's loving every moment again and again. It's about a boy and a monster, but it's not too scary for my four-year-old. And, it does wrap up with a happy ending and lesson about bullying.

A smooth read!!!.......2006-03-20

This is a speedy read that will delight any bookworm!!!
It jumps right to the plot which will have you scared & laughing all at once!!!!!

Opinon for this fantastic book!.......2006-02-18

I would recommend this book for boys of all ages. I thought this book was a great book, and it was very descriptive.

A Scary Change.......2005-04-13

When you are alone do you ever think about monsters? Well if not then after you read this book you will. You will because of the monsters ring. The ring works like this: Step 1: You twist it once around and you get fangs as teeth in your mouth. When you twist it twice, which is step 2, you get horned and hairy. Then step 3: You twist the ring three times, but no person has dared.

In this book a kid named Russell is going to a Halloween party and he needed the perfect costume for it. I can make a text to world connection by saying every one had to go to get a costume. So he went all around town looking for the perfect costume but no store had one. So he went to the magic store and the clerk gave him a box with a ring in it and it was the monsters ring.

I personally think that the ring made him a horrible person and as the story went so did his attitude. The Monsters Ring is a flawless and very scary book. And also very interesting.
I would really recommend this book to lots of kids that like scary books and movies and to kids wirth the age of 10-13.

Book Description

Jennifer Murdley had no idea what she was getting into the day she bought the big toad from the strange man who ran Elives' Magic Shop. The thing didn't even start talking to her until she had it out of the shop.

And once the toad did start to talk, it still kept a lot of secrets. So Jennifer didn't find out about his strange birth...or the treasure hidden in his forehead...or the witch who was out to get him...until she and her friends were in more trouble than they had ever dreamed of!

Customer Reviews:

A very good book.......2004-10-18

This book is good for third and fourth graders. It is about a toad that can talk and has a personality. It is a fun book because it is magical, mysterious, and fun at the same time. I have liked the other books in the series too.

"Most mirrors are mere errors".......2003-11-08

Jennifer Murdley isn't a pretty girl. Jennifer gets picked on a lot by her looks in school. But, when Jennifer gets Bufo from a magic shop, things change. Bufo has the gift of speech (and not the gift of silence!). Bufo can mimic voices and noises with ease. Soon, Jennifer saves her little brother from an evil witch that wants Bufo. Not as good as some of the other books in the Magic Shop series.

jennifer murdley's toad.......2001-07-16

The mystical magical wonderful book........2001-05-24

The book was about a girl named Jennifer and a toad that she bought from a magic shop for a school project about pets. The only thing she did not know about the toad was that the toad,bufo, could talk. I would recomend this book to people who like Fairy tales , or books with magic. The characters in this story are Jennifer ,Ellen, Mr Elives, Sharra, Skippy, Brandon,Mrs.Murdley, and Bufo the toad. My opinion of this story was that it was not so good but ok. I thought the book was boring.

The Best Book I Read This Year!.......2000-01-14

The book Jennifer Murdley's Toad was a hilarious ride in reading. I thought that this book was very funny. It was a combination of comedy and a little bit of mystery. The author paints a very clear picture of Bufo (the toad)and the situation at hand.I would recommend this book to someone who has a good sense of humor, and someone who can understand lame jokes.

Customer Reviews:

15 short stories.......2005-06-02

Most of the shops are the classic mysterious small business, notable exceptions being those in "Serpent of the Lakes" and "The Assassin's Dagger". Several stories are from the customers' viewpoint or prospective new employees, allowing the store to retain the traditional mysterious atmosphere for the reader, but at least a quarter concentrate on shop owners or current employees. Most involve "real magic", but some need only self-confidence.

Braunbeck, Gary A.: "The Hand Which Graces" The bartender at Gruber's has seen a lot. But tonight Sykes (the freelance stage magician whose patch includes the bar) went into a new local "magic shop" looking for new tricks for his act and came out with more than he bargained for.

Edghill, India: "Winter Phoenix" When the Imperial Princesses visit a curious St Petersburg shop in 1916, the shopkeeper says fortunes are made, not told, and refuses to make any predictions. But Anastasia is sold a gilded walnut shell, that if broken can be whatever is needed, for just a moment. Can it save her from the fate facing her family?

Edghill, Rosemary: "A Winter's Tale" is told by one witch to another (the narrator) while cleaning shop on a snowy night. Finding an elaborate box with disappointingly mundane contents, Lark remembers the weirdest item he ever encountered, working for another shop in California.

Elrod, P.N.: "Tarnished Linings" Caitlin, temporarily filling in at the Cauldron, copes with an obnoxious kid propositioning her. When he combines this with shoplifting, two of the shop's patrons whip up a protection spell, but they put too much into it. But every cloud has a silver lining, right?

Gilligan, ElizaBeth: "Off Key" Sarah has a moderately successful advertising career, but lacks self-confidence (the opposite of her twin, who has a social life but no benefits). Then on a lunchtime shopping trip to Marva's favourite shop, Sarah acquires a "key to success". Metaphorical, of course...

Jocks, Von: "The Fairest" Zoe, a fantasy painter in her off-hours who's just gone full-time at her secretarial day job, notices that while she looks frumpy in all the mirrors at work, the mirrors at the Magic Shop (aromatherapy, feng shui, and meditation books) are another story.

McCay, Bill: "The Curse of the Itch, or Finnegan Wakes" The magic shop was named "Eldritch", but after years of being run down, its sign reads "El Itch". Lang the narrator now believes in the uncanny (see VENGEANCE FANTASTIC), but his stubborn girlfriend Mags Finnegan insists on wearing the pendant she scavenged from the shop's discards...

Nye, Jody Lynn: "For Whom the Bell Tolled" Charles, though struggling to keep up with operating expenses and low on worthwhile stock, buys a bell that supposedly summons whatever the ringer wants. This can be a problem, when so much good stock suddenly turns up that there's no storage space...

Odom, Mel: The "Serpent of the Lakes" has joined forces with enemies of the Algonquin over water and hunting rights, and among the victims captured from Taregan's village is his betrothed. Seeking supernatural help to battle the Serpent, Taregan seeks the longhouse of the Three Sisters to petition them for a loan of their medicine.

Resnick, Laura: Unsuccessful author experiments with buying magic tools at the local shop to break her writer's block, culminating with "The Magic Keyboard". The jokes are 'just how bad is she' and 'what classic book will she reproduce next without recognizing it'.

Rusch, Kristine Kathryn: "The Assassin's Dagger" is an attempted return (with receipt) to a French magic shop bought out years ago by Abracadabra Inc (HQ Salem, Massachusetts). Talia, corporate troubleshooter, notices right away that the manager disregards company policy, even in "little" things. Such indifference to the store's image among non-magic folk, coupled with his hostility to Abracadabra for having purchased his family business, cuts no ice with Talia. Great touch that the magic shop is also a modern business.

Sherman, Josepha: "Mightier Than the Sword" Struggling writer's computer crashes the night before deadline. Planning to write longhand, then hit Kinko's for the typing the next morning, the narrator dashes out to buy a pen, but the only place that's open is The Magick Shoppe. Too rushed and too much coincidence; might work better in longer form.

Sinor, Bradley H.: Determined not to start drinking after his ex-girlfriend's departure, Jared walks into a little man's disagreement with a bookie's half-human thugs, and is asked to deliver a package to "Grails". Being paid in mint condition gold coins by a man with so much attitude makes Jared curious about this shop that gives people what they *need*, if not what they want. Cool story.

Sizemore, Susan: "Every Little Thing She Does" Trevor makes an adequate living with his shop, and rescues damsels in distress when they need it. Amanda Brewster, though, seems capable of handling almost anything, even though she's asking for professional help in exorcising the old place she's just bought. (The hellfire in the oven, for instance, yields great pie crust.)

West, Michelle: "Dime Store Rings" The narrator's Magic Shop wasn't one she worked in, and didn't sell potions or wands, but something better; she and her father in the hard times of her childhood could afford to buy Christmas presents for her mother there.

Are these writers afraid?.......2004-09-07

Without any doubt, Michelle West's "Dime Store Rings" dominates this collection. A story about a woman coming to terms with her parents' successes and failures, it manages to be touching but not sappy, memorable but not manipulative. West obviously chose her words and sentences with care, and poured great effort into organizing the tale for maximum effect. Though I've never read any of her books before, I'll certainly look into them after seeing this story.

Three others stories should be mentioned as at least being worth the time. "Winter Pheonix" retells the tale of Princess Anastasia in a new light, and also manages to deliver without getting overtly emotional. Laura Resnick hits some humorous notes in "The Magic Keyboard", a story about a young author struggling against writer's block. And Gary Braunbeck delivers "The Hand that Graces", a description-defying story of redemption amidst urban blight.

Every collection must have a low point. Here it's Mel Odom's lengthy, tedious, and ridiculously PC tale of an Indian warrior, "Serpent of the Lakes". There are others as well, but they mostly share a similar problem. The authors don't seem to have any reason driving their creations. They don't write in a distinctive style, or they fall flat when they try to. But other than West, no one here seems to really carry the spark that drives great literature, so I have to give this one a thumbs down.

Excellent anthology.......2004-07-20

"The Magic Shop" is one of the few anthologies I've read lately that has been entirely fulfilling. Denise Little, who edited this, did a superb job in finding seventeen writers to write about characters and their various experiences in various magic shops.

All seventeen stories were good, but the best three in my mind were these. First, Michelle West's "Dime Store Rings" was absolutely mind-blowing, partly because I don't like most of her writing and did like this, and partly because she managed to write a very sad story without undue pathos. Second, Rosemary Edghill's "A Winter's Tale" was another excellent Bast story; it's a story within a story, and the last few lines absolutely cause chills. Rosemary Edghill's short stories are always thought provoking, and almost always absolutely astonishing, and this one met or exceeded expectations. More Bast stories, please! And finally, India Edghill (yes, India and Rosemary are related) wrote a powerful story about Anastasia, the "lost princess" of Russia, and one which envisioned a happier and more positive future for her than she probably got (as no one knows for sure). India Edghill mostly writes historicals, and does a fabulous job with them; this story definitely reflects her skill and ability as a writer.

I'd definitely recommend this book for anyone over the age of about 14 (as some of the images in various stories are perhaps a bit graphic) or anyone over about 10 with parental or guardian supervision.

Five stars, highly recommended.

What a waste!.......2004-05-07

Ok, I love anthologies. I have been reading them for the past 14 years. I like getting to know new authors alongside old ones. This anthology was a waste of my time. The stories were trite and cliche. One or two stories rises above the mediocre and is a pleasent enough read. I liked Von jocks " The Fairest". The story centers around a woman who becomes obsessed with her looks and lose herself in the process, but finds her again self after looking in to a magic mirror. The story was funny, intresting and well written. Sad to say this one was the only story to stand out in my mind. As an editor Denise Little can an usally do better, I guess thats what makes this collection so disapointing.

Gret anthology.......2004-02-04

The premise of this fifteen story collection is relatively simplistic: what would happen to a customer if the magic shop found in many cities sold real magic? The contributors, whom are a virtual who's who (though there is one new author for me), provided a wide range of tales with some classified as horror, others are fantasy and science fiction, and finally a few that cross the speculative plain. Even the tone vastly differs with some authors writing amusing fictions of getting what you ask for while others take a more somber pitch. Each tale is well written as if Denise Little used a magical editing device to raise the bar. Most interesting is that the simple concept is turned into complex effects as the purchaser should have paid close attention to the maxim "buyer beware" since no hazardous to your health warning label accompanied the goods. Readers will enjoy these fine new stories that cast a spell requiring a one sitting read. Aside to Ms. Little: is the magic store that ensorcelled you the one near NYU or the one in Times Square that hooked many of us boomers back in the 1960s-1970s (don't know if they are still there)?

Book Description

Customer Reviews:

A Ruby Dragon.......2007-03-06

"It's beautiful," said Jeremy, reaching out to pick it up.
Jeremy ran all the way to a street he did not know even when he had lived there all his life. He found a shop and there was a dragon egg of many colors. He exited and he was two block from his house.
The theme of this story is that "Nothing you love is lost". I think that means if you love something and it has to leave it will always will be in your heart.
If you don't read Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher you are missing one of the most best fantasy books ever wrote
Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher was wrote by Bruce Coville

The Best Book Ever.......2007-03-06

"It's beautiful," Jeremy whispered reaching out to pick it up. Jeremy ran away from Howard Morton and Freddie the Frog Killer so Mary Lou Hutton could kiss Jeremy the day that he stumbled into Mr. Elives magic shop. What would happen if you got the Chinese rings or a dragons egg? What would you do if you found out that you had to hatch it? You can learn about how things you love are always right next to you. Do you like Eragon or Eldest?
Then you want to take a break and go to a shorter book. If so, pick this one! I guarentee you will like this one. You'll love it just like I did! Now go read Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville to continue all the fun!!!

So good I had to buy it for myself........2007-01-26

I picked up this book on the word of a friend of mine as a present for my cousin. I read it first to check the reading level... and I had to be convinced by my mom to part with it. So I bought a copy for myself. Good if you enjoyed Eargon's character or as an Eragon substitute for the littler ones.

Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher.......2007-01-16

Dragons aren't real, so Jeremy thought before the day when Mary Lou Hutton tried to kiss him. Running for his life from Mary Lou, Jeremy came upon a shop and went gasping in. In the shop he met a mysterious old man cleaning the counter. A shimmering marble-like object caught his gaze. After talking to the old man Jeremy exchanged a quarter and the object was his. After the full moon that night Jeremy found himself mothering a baby dragon.
With the life-like characters including Jeremy, Tiamat, Mary Lou Hutton, Ms. Priest, and mysterious Mr. Elives, this story will make a lifelong enjoyment for you and your friends. Read about Jeremy and Tiamat with their never ending adventures and this book will raise your spirits from any mood you're in.
The friendship and trust between Tiamat and Jeremy is the main theme of the book. Jeremy raised Tiamat since she was an infant and Tiamat rescued Jeremy from Freddie the Frog Killer and Howard Morton.
This book takes place in a little town called Blodgett's Crossing. Jeremy lived out a ways from the actual town so he had a regular house, but a big yard. It would be okay for Jeremy's dogs and cats, but for a dragon, that's a different story. Find out what happens as Tiamat grows and grows and grows and GROWS! What is Jeremy going to do? Can he keep her? Will he ever face the time when he'll have to let her go?
This is an amazing book filled with major suspense, enjoyment, and near crying on your part! This mysterious and interesting book will have you hanging on the edge at nearly every chapter. Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher is one book you CAN'T miss!

Love This Book!.......2007-01-10

This was my favorite book when I was in elementary school and still remains one of my favorites. It is creative and heartfelt and allows for maximum imagination.

I loved this book. When I first got it, I thought it was going to be really, really, really scary. As it turned out it really didn't scare me at all. A.G. Cascone really did a great job of showing detail in what was going on. This is a great book.
