Horn Book (Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2008)

Three fairies must find a magic wand to save Never Land from a mermaid-issued flood. This might sound promising, but it's impossible to keep the countless characters straight (familiarity with this book's predecessor, Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg, seems essential). Quirky writing (the fairies finish each other's sentences) and a whiplash-inducing roving point of view stoke the chaos.

Jimmie Johnson is one of the dominating figures in NASCAR. He became the first rookie ever to lead in the point standings. He is the only driver to finish in the top five in the standings in his first five full seasons. He has never finished below fifth in the final standings and finished second twice (in 2003 and 2004) and won the Nextel Cup championship in 2006. He will only get better as he continues to compete at the highest levels of NASCAR. This is a great narrative for reluctant readers.
