Editorial Review The wildly popular and award-winning Cranium board game has revved its engines and gone turbo! As in the original game, players in teams race around the board, sculpting, humming, spelling, or drawing answers to clues. But the Turbo edition is enhanced by 1,000 new cards and adds six outrageous activities to the 10 originals, including Odd Couple (determine which two things don't belong in a list), Zooma (identify objects shown in close-up), and Mindmeld (read teammates' minds to come up with the same words on a given topic). An electronic Turbo timer lights up and blasts music to keep the momentum going, as if watching your teammates sculpt "hot pants" or turn each other into puppets isn't energizing enough! Includes the Cranium board, 1,000 cards with 16 activities, a tub of clay, an electronic timer (requires three "AA" batteries [not included]), pencils and pads, and four game pieces. One of the best games around, with something for everyone!
We love word games, but all word games are based around forming words -- this game changes all that. The premise of the game is based around solving word scrambles and number scrambles. There is a clue provided with each category so that the players know what direction to look in. I highly recommend this game.

Jumbo Sequence is a game of strategy played on a colorful, cushioned vinyl playing mat (32 by 27 inches). Each player or team tries to score the required number of five-card sequences before their opponents can. To begin the sequence, a player discards one card and marks that card on the playing mat with a colored crowning chip. The player or team then attempts to mark a sequence of five cards up, down, across, or diagonally on the playing surface. Jumbo Sequence is an easily understood game for two pals or a crowd playing on teams. Includes 104 playing cards and 50 crowning chips in each color: red, blue, and yellow.

Book Description
Five years of magic, adventure, and mystery at Hogwarts -- now available in a complete hardcover box set. Includes books 1-5 of the worldwide bestselling series: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Customer Review J.K. Rowling's sixth book in her Harry Potter series triumphs greatly over the other five. Not only is it darker and more adult, it is smarter, edgier, and funnier. Rowling does a fantastic job developing Harry's character in this book, as well as Snape's character, who goes from a minor character to a major character (which is much to my delight considering Snape is my favorite character). The shocking ending of this book may leave you in tears as it did to me. The Harry Potter series clearly wasn't meant to be read only by children. Anyone with a flare for fantasy could easily fall in love with this book. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is by far one of the best books I've ever read, and I've read a lot of books. I give it a 5...out of 5.
This book is a great book about four teenage girls named Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget. Two summers ago they found a pair of magical pants that they would share with each other as well as shared memories with each other. They passed the pants along the four of them for two summers so that they could still be close friends, even though they were far away from each other. This year is their third summer with the pants, and they are all going away to different colleges. They share the pants again this summer to stay close over the many miles. I really liked this book because I could relate to it and there was always something interesting going on.
