Just as The Phantom Tollbooth ...did years ago, this book pushes readers to see the familiar from a new perspective and to open their minds to fresh ideas. -- Sweet on Books "...This is an adventure story for the digital generation, and Lost in Lexicon breaks new ground in the adventure genre. This rollicking, often tongue-in-cheek novel will appeal to young readers who need a break from their computer games and long to journey into the woods of learning." -- ForeWord Reviews "...An engaging and original narrative is the main strength of this series opener. Math and grammar concepts are nicely integrated. Noyce keeps up the pace by limiting descriptive passages but offers little character introduction.

Synopsis
"If this is an adventure, we should just plunge in... "When thirteen-year-old cousins Ivan and Daphne go on a treasure hunt in the rain one summer day, they never expect to stumble into a whole new world where words and numbers run wild.After the cousins outwit a plague of punctuation, grateful villagers beg them to find Lexicon's missing children, who have been enticed away by dancing lights in the sky. Trekking between villages in search of clues, the cousins encounter a talking thesaurus, a fog of forgetting, the Mistress of Metaphor, a panel of poets, feuding parts of speech, and the illogical mathematicians of Irrationality. When a careless Mathemystical reflects them across the border into the ominous Land of Night, their peril deepens. Kidnapped, imprisoned, and mesmerized-with time running out-will Ivan and Daphne find a way to solve the mystery of the lights in the sky and restore the lost children of Lexicon to their homes? Lost in Lexicon will whisk children away into an interactive and magical world of learning., Hiking Montana offers 100 of the best hikes in Big Sky Country, from pleasant family outings to backcountry adventures. This is the classic guide--the 10th edition!--to Montana hiking, now completely field-checked and updated.

    I recently came across Pop Up Book Finds and all I can say is what an incredible resource to know as I am a collector of Pop-up books for myself and my grandchildren. The extensive inventory of classic as well as exceptionally unique pop up books makes it a site and seller I will continue to do business with. Products are always as advertised, in great condition, timely shipping, well packaged and wonderful customer service to top it all off. As Arnold said famously... "I'll be back."
