The Red Blazer Girls: The Ring of Rocamadour
$16.99
Four 7th graders from St. Veronica's, in Manhattan, find themselves following clues in a 20-year-old treasure hunt/mystery. There is no shortage of humor, action, brain-teasers and adventure, from the clever chapter titles (Chapter 33: Sometimes a little spit is all you need)to the puzzling clues, to the references to Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe. Michael Beil has just the right mix of private school jargon, in-jokes and funny asides. The girls' lives outside of school are refreshingly normal -- they babysit siblings, get crushes on boys, IM each other and study for school. This is the start to a promising series.

BTW: Readers who like The Red Blazer Girls may also enjoy Kirsten Miller's Kiki Strike books--featuring Anaka Fishbein and her teenage friends who also encounter mysteries in NYC.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, THE GIRLS ARE ATTRACTIVE AND FIGHT LIKE GIRLS, PULLING HAIR, SLAPPING ETC, MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS FOR SOME REASON THEY PERIODICALLY INJECT A SPECIAL EFFECT, WEIRD LIGHTS AND BAD MUSIC, FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN CUT IT OUT AGAIN, I FOUND THIS VERY ANNOYING, OTHER THAN THAT I REALLY ENJOYED IT

Brown Girl in The Ring: A World Music Collection
$13.98
This is a great CD for both kids and adults. My 3 year old loves it and so do I. I don't mind listening to it "again." It has a really great mix of world music, including slow and fast songs, songs sung by men and women, all sorts of languages, some a cappella, great guitars by Los Lobos. My favorite is "Wimoweh (Mbube) The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (yes - the same song popularized by the Tokens) by Ladysmith Black Mambazo - what a voice. But they're all great. It really is a treasure.

Sterling Silver Polished Peace Sign Ring size 8

I bought this about two years back, and have worn it every day since! It is still the same beautiful quality as it was the day I got it. I still get regular compliments on it. I haven't ever regretted such an awesome purchase.
