Product Description
The Aran Islands lie off the coast of Ireland's western seaboard where, for thousands of years, they have been battered by the might of the Atlantic Ocean. Since the dawn of time, the existence of the inhabitants, like the islands themselves, has been shaped by the power of sea and storm. For thousands of years, people have co-existed with the elements and the landscape of the islands. The islanders themselves have acquired a reputation for their unique spirit and hardiness. Little wonder that so many people from all over the globe flock to the island every year.

In August 1912 Cecil Watson visited Inis Meain, the middle island of the Arans. Using a box camera, he took pictures capturing, for ever, the people and the landscape, and the interaction between the two. Published here for the first time is a selection of Cecil Watson's photographs. They are striking images of the life of a community at a time when the people were seemingly unaware that their traditions and ways were on the brink of collapse. ... Read more

Very pleased!
I was very pleased with my bargainbooks purchase of Inis Meain Images: Ten Days in August 1912. It was a treat to find such a rare book, as it contains many photos of my family from that time. It was listed as Very Good Condition and it was almost like new.Delivery took only about a week.

Good story (with continuity issues)
As much as I love this series, some of the inconsistencies in the story line are starting to get to me. I have documented in other reviews inconsistencies regarding Hank's statements of his best mark in school. This time it is something different. In this one the principal of PS87 is talking outside the school to Hank's grandfather about peer tutoring and how it might be good for Hank with his learning difficulties. However in book 11, The Curtain Went Up, My Pants Went Down Hank goes through peer tutoring to improve his marks so he can be in the school play. These are great books especially for children with learning disabilities. Yet these story line inconsistencies are starting to detract from the strength of individual books.

In this one Hank learns that his parents are having another baby. All he can see is how this is going to ruin his life, starting with his birthday party that very weekend. Hank makes two major decisions in this book. First he decides that looking after a pet might help him learn how to help with a baby, so his Grandfather papa Pete buys him a Mexican red-knee tarantula named Rosa. He soon finds out a tarantula can cause all kinds of difficulties especially in a pizza parlour. He also decides to throw himself a birthday party, but neither of his best friends can come because they made commitments to go with Hank's mom to look at baby carriages.

This is another fun light adventure in the Hank Zipzer series.

Another Great Zipzer book
You can't beat this series. I absolutely love this book too. The way Henry and Lin deal with real issues in an entertaining way teaches kids lessons without readers even knowing it. I loved this book!

Funny!
My son (now 10) has enjoyed all 13 of the Hank Zipzer books and he is looking forward to #14.He thinks these books are very funny!

This one might have been the best yet!
I ordered this book for my 5th grader.He has read the whole series and LOVES Hank Zipzer, eagerly awaiting each new book coming out.This one was not available at our local bookseller (only through a special order), so I ordered it on Amazon with some other things to qualify for the minumum for free shipping. Yippee!Free shipping AND the new Hank Zipzer!It's our lucky day!
My 5th grader read "Who ordered this baby" the day it was received and said it's probably the best one yet!
We highly recommend this series by The Fonz. ... Read more

Product Description

Hank is psyched . . . until Mr. Rock suggests that Hank attend an after-school reading program, which means he’ll miss tae kwon do. But when Hank gets a crush on a girl in the reading program, and when Mr. Rock says that instead of writing his autobiography (a class assignment), Hank can present his life in scrapbook form, well . . . life’s looking good. Then Hank finds out that his crush is actually the cousin of his nemesis, McKelty!

Readers will love Hank’s newest adventure, plus they will adore reading Hank’s scrapbook, which includes black-and-white photos of his school and neighborhood, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, and more! ... Read more

Best in the Series
Out of the 16 books available in the Zipzer series, this is now my favourite for a few reasons. First, Hank really begins to accept his learning disability; he also chooses to seek extra help for it. Now true, there is a female interest that draws him to that option but when a young person chooses reading gym over Tae Kwon Do, you know something serious is up. Hank has his first crush and Zoe is in the reading gym also. Hank also tries to keep this change in after-school activities a secret from his dad. But best of all Hank learns how to describe his life with his learning challenges and how it feels to live and struggle with them day in and day out. In learning to admit he has a problem and really working on it, Hank learns how to communicate his struggles and feelings that have been pent up for years.

What is remarkable about this book, and the series as a whole, is the ability by the authors to capture the essence of struggling with a learning disability. I was diagnosed in grade 2 because of a very persistent teacher, but many people are now being diagnosed in college, university and even in the workforce. I know many people who were not diagnosed in school and feel the way Hank does, but they did not know why. These books, even though written for children, are excellent for anyone struggling with learning disabilities, no matter their age. For they will help them see it is not just them and in Hank will see a mirror of some of their own experiences. These books are wonderfully written and are also fun to read. I highly recommend them.

Love these books!
My 9 year old son and I have read this whole series and absolutely LOVE it! I recommend this series to any parent to read with their older kids. We started the series when he was almost 8 and now he is 9 and he is rereading the whole series again. Funny and very well written...way to go Fonz!

The best book to read when you're bored!
Hank Zipzer is the class clown-- whenever he's around, there's always trouble.This character is funny, and the Hank Zipzer books always end on a good note. (Review written by 7th grade student, Kayla)

Waiting expectantly for the next one!
My son and I absolutely love Hank Zipzer and the books about him! This one Hank develops a crush on a girl for the first time. It is done very well. Hank is wonderful!
