Betty Gelean added The Magic of Finkleton to her Bookshelf
Betty said, "Returned me to the magic of childhood! This book, though written for children, can encompass all ages in the way of fairy tales of yore. A magical time when things are not what they seem. Well-written to keep anticipation coming, and flows with mystery"

Betty Gelean added Colt O'Brien Sees the Light to her Bookshelf
Betty said, "Colt O'Brien is short, and it bothers him. He is aggressive, a good soccer player, and can't seem to please his father in any way. In his efforts to stand out, he wears vividly coloured clothing. He is a senior at high school and has a twin sister who see"

Betty Gelean added Jamie and the Angel: Meeting Her Guardian Angel to her Bookshelf

Betty Gelean added The Vampire Prince (Cirque Du Freak: the Saga of Darren Shan) to her Bookshelf
Betty said, "Darren Shan's book came as a complete surprise to me. I have not read a vampire book since a condensed version of Darcula in the 1950s, although I did enjoy Buffy... and Charmed when they were on TV. Consequently, I did not know what to expect. This ve"

Betty said, "A fabulous book for young and old, as we find ourselves back in our childhood right away. What wonderful memories this book will bring to those fortunate to have known a grandmother like Grandmom. The story really belongs to a three year old girl named Ra"

Betty Gelean commented on Penny Bingham's Profile:
Betty said, "G'day Penny, how's your fall going into winter? Thanks for contacting me. I haven't really done anything more than having friends tell me to write; I just never got to the publishing idea. Do I have to pay an agent? the publisher? the editor? I really don"

Betty Gelean added The Spy Game: A Novel to her Bookshelf
Betty said, "An unusual plot line, a little disconcerting at first until you really get into it. Georgina Harding demonstrates how non-verbal family relations can create false imagery to young children. The novel centers around the mysterious disappearance of the moth"
