Review

"When most people hear 'large-print book,' they immediately think senior citizen. But large-print editions of popular children's books -- from the powerhouse Harry Potter series to timeless classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer -- are now making their way onto the shelves of the Children's Department at the Canton Library. . . . Although large-print editions are targeted to the visually-impaired or dyslexic child, they can also be used by standard-vision readers. So Kershner [Children's librarian at the Canton Public Library] has decided against creating a special section in the Children's Department (as exists in the Adult Department) opting instead to intersperse large-print books on the shelves with the regular print versions of the same titles."

"Thorndike Press has helped me not only find books I want to read, but they also look like regular books. That's important when you're a kid and you can only read Large Print, you want your book to look like all the other books. I'm reading a lot more now that we have found Thorndike Press."
-- Jim Bernardin, Islamorada, FL

"Everyone loves to read, there's nothing like curling up with a good book. We're a reading family, so when our son was diagnosed with Stargardt's Disease and only able to read Large Print, it was particularly difficult. Books on tape are wonderful but they don't fill the void of actually reading a good story. Large Print books have been around a long time for older people, but to find a good novel for a young person in Large Print began to feel nearly impossible. The books that Thorndike Press publishes have truly made a difference in my son's reading life. He can enjoy current novels as well as some of the classics that he missed reading when it became too difficult with regular print."
-- Sara Bernardin, Islamorada, FL

"A rollicking tale that will have readers rolling on the floor."

"Artemis Fowl - The Arctic Incident" by Eoin Colfer, ©2002

This is the second in the series. It seems that Artemis is really not such a bad criminal. He does have a very independent stripe and he exhibits a very arrogant attitude towards the adults he deals with.
He is attending school. He is able to see his way to being there because there is not much else he could be doing to find and save his father. Then, he gets the message about his father. He does not even hardly say goodbye, he is just gone on his adventure to the arctic, by way of the Lower Elevation. It was a bit unbelievable in what happened and how people acted, but over all it was a wonderful story. You could feel that Artemis was growing up and becoming a better person.
