[ 5.0 stars ] "The word "daredevil" conjures up different images for different people. Speaking for myself, when I hear it I instantly picture someone like Evel Knievel leaping over cars on a motorcycle. I do not picture sixty-two year old charm school matrons climbing into barrels. The name "Chris Van Allsburg" also conjures up a variety of interesting images. A person might think of his books or (or, my pers ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] ""An odd, unsettling meditation on fame."--Kirkus ReviewsExactly. It is an interesting story, and as always, the illustrations are simply stunning. But this is not a feel-good book that will leave the young reader aglow. What I would HOPE is that it is a book that will start the young reader on some deep thoughts about the price of fame, the needs of the elderly in reduced circumstances, and the ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Chris Van Allsburg's latest picture book, a biography, is beautifully illustrated, but the story falls short of the mark. As always, Van Allsburg's black-and-white illustrations are realistic and magical. But the illustrations themselves did not save the story, which while interesting, was a little too unevenly paced to really be a stand-out biography. Queen of the Falls tells the tale of ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "Strengths: This book is typical Van Allsburg with an intriguing story, never before told in picture book format. What is especially interesting is that this is a true story. I guess sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. The author starts by putting us at the top of the waterfall with Annie, just as she is about to go over the falls (without telling us who is in the barrel). Then he e ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Van Allsburg gives us a close-up and personal look into the face of madness in this inspired history of the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.Tall pages dense with text contain a story nearly long enough to merit novella status in this exploration of a little known adventuress. Van Allsburg truly shines in his black and white pencil illustrations that lend heart to the story. He pe ..." Courtesy by Amazon
