Summary: Great Mag, buy from Pub.
Comment: Fantastic magazine. But buy it directly from the publisher. The subscription price is exactly what amazon is offering, anyway, and you'll get it a lot faster. We also bought two sets of a year's worth from eBay.

Summary: Seems interesting to my 11 yr. old
Comment: I purchased this for my 11 year old son. the first issue came this week. He said he only had time to skim it but the articles seemed interesting to him and he is looking forward to reading them. I also skimmed throught the first issue and it did seem to be different than anything else I have seen.

Summary: you'll want to read it yourself
Comment: My eight year old son loves this magazine. So do I -- I have to snitch his copy when he's not looking.

Another review I read said the reading level is too low. This might be true. After a couple of years I have no doubt my advanced reader 2nd grader will be ready for adult magazines with similar content. But for now, this is perfect.

Plus...no ads!

I took a tip from these reviews and ordered the magazine straight from the publisher website and not here from Amazon, though. I hope Amazon's magazine supplier works out their problems -- too many people have posted too many stories of 12, 16 week or longer waits before getting their magazine for me to want to order here. Amazon listen up!

Summary: Best. Magazine. Ever.
Comment: BEST MAGAZINE EVER!!! Ignore all of the one-star reviews; they haven't a clue what they are saying. I'm a dedicated subscriber. Muse has the right combination of wits, info, and COMPLETE RANDOM USELESS facts to keep any child who can read (ignore the age 9-14 thingy; I started at 8) entertained for weeks to come and impatiently awaiting the mail for their issue.

It is the most flamablamablous magazine ever; buy this for your kid. If you start to see an intense fear of hot-pink bunnies and a great love of pies afterward... we had NOTHING to do with it. Really.
