Twenty-five years ago, Josh's father was unjustly blamed for starting a fire in Abbey School's technology block. Convinced of his innocence, Josh, Tamsyn and Rob begin looking for evidence to clear Mr Allen's name. An internet search leads them to ex-pupils around the world, but somehow someone always seems to be a few steps ahead of them. Just as Josh and the others start finding the proof they need, Josh is accused of destroying one of the school's computers. It is up to Tamsyn and Rob and their contacts around the world to discover who is making history repeat itself and why.
"Cyber Feud" is the fourth title in the eight book internet detective series. Like the others in the series, it is fast-paced and both entertaining and interesting. Although this wasn't one of my favourite I.D. books, it is still fully deserves four stars and is brilliant for encouraging children to use the internet. I would recommend it to eight to twelve year olds.
If you enjoyed this, I would suggest reading the other Internet Detective books, especially #2 Escape Key, and #7 Virus Attack, which I think to be the best of the ID books.
This book i found on google during a search for dinosaur pictures for my 6 year old son. I liked it from the very first moment, the pictures are gorgeous and the online support is super cool. The book was a >Tooth fairy gift for the first toot of my son. i couldnot find a better gift. i recommend it to anybody.
I really liked this book and the way it was written. It captures you in the beginning by giving you a look in the journal of the stalker, and from there it does not dissapoint.
Mina and Camille were bestfriends until Camille bacame popular and started hanging with the "cool crowd". She pretty much dithched Mina throughout thier Senior year, which was why Mina was so suprised to get a call from her. Camille asked mina if she wanted to go to the mall, and while hating herself for it, she said yes.
The trip started out rocky and didn't get better from there. As they were eating frozen yogurt Camille asked Mina if she would go with her to meet this guy named Andrew, that she had been talking online to. Mina told her she shouldn't meet him and they fought. Mina caved in and said she'd go, but Camille didn't want her to come anymore. She said she'd take the bus home and stormed off. Mina went home and then recieved a phone call from Camille's mother.
She asked if she had seen Camille and that's when it all started. Camille wasn't back by the next morning so the police were brought in. She was labled missing and they were looking for her.
In an attemt to help Mina went to Camille's locker looking for some kind of clue. There she met up with Camille's Boyfriend, Mick. From there they start trying to find Camille and in the end........
This is a really good book and so are the rest in the [...] series that i have read. The way ti was written captures you, and i LOVE the characters. A really good read, i would suggest tit to anyone.
The Internet...a world without rules, without boundaries. Where you can be anyone you want, whoever you aren't. And it's all just a click away...
Mina and Camille share everything. So why would Camille take off without telling Mina? The cops think she's just being your average flakey teenager, but Mina doesn't buy it. Camille isn't average, and she certainly isn't flakey. Then Mina finds a trail of emails between Camille and some stranger. Could this be the key to Camille's disappearance?
Mina decides to investigate on her own. What she finds draws her deeper into the mind of a killer with a twisted obsession. And Camille is about to become the killer's next victim.
Different people in different places. The one thing they have in common is a new address on the Internet: danger.com. Where all your fears come true.
I collect children's cookbooks. "The Usborne Internet-linked Children's World Cookbook" is the best I have found so far. Why? Let me count the reasons:
1. This softcover 8 1/2 x 11 is the perfect size. It mostly stays open, except towards the front and back, then just place a potato or whatever you have on hand to hold it open.
2. Bright, colorful, inviting, with pictures on EVERY page!
3. Text is not overwhelming! Easy to read!
4. Each recipe has a picture of the finished product, and step by step instructions in colorful illustrations.
5. Each recipe is taken from somewhere in the world (thus the title) with side notes pertaining to ingredients. For example, here is peanut bread made from groundnuts (peanuts) in Africa. One note is about African grains and the other is Groundnut paste.
6. 27 countries or continents are represented
7. My favorite section occurs every 3 or 4 countries: seven unique sections including Fruit around the world--a beautiful display of opened and unopened fruit with a brief description of flavor and how to open and eat. Mango, kiwi, kiwano (horned melon), Sharon fruit (persimmon), physalis, mangosteen, kumquats, tamarillo, star fruit, papaya, passion fruit, guava, pomegranate, lychees, and pineapple. This section alone is worth the cost of the book. What a teaching experience!
Other sections include breads from around the world, cheeses, spices, cakes and pastries, vegetables, and Mediterranean ingredients. Each is as educational and colorful as the other.
The recipes need supervision, of course, for younger children, but are manageable for older ones. They include such tasty treats as brownies from the United States, pancakes from Canada, tacos from Latin America with the accompaniments and their recipes, mango slushy from the Caribbean, bobotie from Africa (an egg, ground meat, curry casserole), and scones from England with a section on afternoon tea.
Ever tasted Lebkuchen from Germany, or goulash from Hungary, or Red Fruit Pudding from Norway, or Jansson's temptation from Sweden (potatoes and anchovies baked in a milk base), or Smorrebrod (open-face sandwiches) from Denmark? Or tabboule from the Middle East? Or Lamingtons from Australia?
This is a cookbook to own, whether for you or your child. So much flavor, so little time. So much aroma, just invite me in!
net force is about net force explorers who solve crime
A great reference to a great game. Rusel Demaria pads out the dry strategy sections with some fan-fiction to flesh out the story. It reminds me of the "choose your own adventure" books from the 1980s, which isn't a bad thing. Without it, this would be a dry tome full of stats and tables, the kind of thing one could print from an online listing.
The only criticism I have is that laying all the code on the table like this takes away a lot of the mystery and fun of the game -- it becomes painfully clear that it's a computer program when you know all the trigger points for the game's events. For the purest experience, use this as a reference if you get stuck, not as a companion piece to every mission, lest you spoil some of the surprises.
Also includes:Bonus Section -- Digimon Trading Cards! Get a sneak preview of the trading cards everyone else is going to be scrambling for!Digi-Appendix -- Includes a checklist and picture of all of the currently available character cards so you can keep track of the ones you have and the ones you still need to get.
And E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G you ever wanted to know about Digimon trading cards!
So grab the power and get in on the action!
There are some useful tables in this book, like which cards you need to play to get to the next level in different situations, but they completely ignore all the cards in the booster decks.
The sad thing is that after a few chapters, the book jumps off talking about the TV series, the animated series cards, and completely ignores the game.
A nice introduction to the game, and the checklist is extremely cool, but if you're already a player and looking to enhance your skills, this is not the book for you.
