Gadrella by Tricia Gardella – Review by Britney Humphreys

5 Stars from all 3 of us!

Gadrella is a young witch that is tired of the typical witchy things. She wants a change for all witches for the first time in 300 years, and she’s prepared to be the one to start switching things up. From her transportation, to her pets, to her potion and uniform-will the other witches join her or shun her?

This book is super cute, and teaches children that with small changes everything can change for the better. My girls (9 and 7 years old) loved the pictures and the over-all message. My youngest said she likes that it teaches people that things changing in life isn’t always a bad thing. My oldest said that she thinks more people need to learn that trying new things is really the only way to grow and change. I like that it teaches you to listen when your friends say new things might be better (and that Halloween doesn’t always have to be creepy-it can be cute, too).

Detective Dylan and the Thief of Camp Leaf (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series) by MJ Murray – Review by Britney Nicole Humphreys

Another 5 Star read from MJ Murray!

This book shows a realistic relationship between siblings close in age and shows how a big brother should treat his little sister. I love that the book has vocabulary words at the end and that it has access for math and ELA worksheets since we homeschool. This third book shows diversity and how to include differently abled kids in the best way!

In the first book, Dylan, Emily, and Theodore used their sleuthing skills to find out what happened to Mrs. Lane’s mail. Next, the trio discovered a bunch of pirates had stolen the bases from the baseball diamond. What will happen in this third book? They team up with a bunch of people at camp to find a stolen trophy! Who will win when the trophy is found? Will they be able to play the camp games?

My girls (ages 9 and 7) loved the whodunit aspect. They were writing the clues down as we read the book and trying to figure out who the culprit was. They loved reading about Detective Dylan, his sister Emily, and their adorable (and helpful) pup Theodore. My girls said they do not feel that Emily is a Tattle-tale, but we’ll leave that up to you to decide when you read the book.

I recommend these books for parents who have kids that are reluctant readers. My girls love to read, but I think this would work for kids who do not want to read chapter books. The chapters are short, there are pictures included throughout, and the book itself is 61 pages over 10 chapters. It took us about 45 minutes to read-and that is with the girls asking questions and guessing who did it and why.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Pig and Poke is about Angela, an adorable girl participating in a pig chase. When Angela starts she seems afraid to catch a pig but by the end of the story, Angela succeeds in her goal. This is a great book to show children how to problem solve and never give up their goals. Angela shows children that you come out on top even when there are tons of obstacles. This book has wonderful illustrations. Young children will find the action of the story fascinating.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups #3)Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is my favorite book in the Hot Flash Hookup series so far!

Nikolai is certainly not looking for love when he shares a kiss with a sexy woman in a bar. Chloe isn’t looking for love either, but neither can get that kiss out of their minds. Who knows what might have happened if Nikolai wasn’t interrupted by a phone call from his lawyer? They go their separate ways until they meet again, and Nikolai realizes exactly who Chloe is…his coach’s daughter. That means she is entirely off-limits. However, fate and a sweet, sassy little girl who plays matchmaker might have other plans.

I enjoyed the plot of the book. It was much different than other books about hockey players. Nikolai is well past his partying days, and he is facing retirement. In addition, he is fighting his ex-wife for more time to spend with his young daughter. Chloe has suffered a significant loss and is completely upending her life, moving back to be closer to her father and a career change. Their challenges make them relatable, and the obstacles to a relationship are realistic. Ultimately, I was so happy to see they got their happily ever after.

I love that the books in this series have incredible middle-aged women who are the heroines. They prove that love knows no age, and anyone can find their happily ever after no matter how old they are. As with all the other books, I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat The Glue (Luca Magoo Series) by Megan Delgado – Review by Rita White

/0 Comments/in /by

Such a cute little book for young kids!. My granddaughter (4) thought it was the funniest thing ever. She laughed at the rhyming and the hilarious pictures. Luca Magoo was definitely all boy and in to mischievous ways with the glue. The illustrations were colorful and bright and bought so much more dun to the story. Great story and great lesson for young curious minds.

London Detective Agency (London Detective Agency Series) by Stephanie R. Caffrey – Review by Jessie Hopkins

/0 Comments/in /by

I adore this series!
This all starts off with a slam(quite literally) and keeps you drawn in from there. I was ready to see what was next and felt like I never quite knew what was going to happen.
Evelyn is a wonderful character with an array of feelings that you can totally understand while reading what is going on.
Patrick is great and when you get more of his backstory, he becomes even more relatable.
Them together is so fun.
James is supportive of Patrick and then you get to learn more about him and boy is it amazing. He takes his job seriously and wants to do his best in building the business. He’s trying hard to resist his attraction to Tessa, but with Patrick and Evelyn egging him on, it’s difficult.
Tessa is also wonderful. She is goal driven and doesn’t want to let anything get in her way.
From mystery to thriller, romance to comedy, this series covers it all and kept me interested the whole way through. I would recommend this series to anyone!

Another cute tale in the story of Detective Dylan. Who stole the trophy? Dylan and his friends try to solve the problem. I enjoy this series because it realyy does a nice job of helping teach kids to problem solve. I read this series to my grandson and he loves trying to figure out who did it. We follow the trail just like Dylan. It has a nice flow to the story with great characters set up. I love the diversity of the characters. It is nicely set up for its target audience. We can’t wait for the next one.

I really enjoyed this book. Although it’s a short MM paranormal romance it’s an intriguing story. The Gods give you a second chance at life as long as you find a mate that accepts you in three days or back to purgatory. I like the characters and the chemistry between the characters. The story flowed well and was fast paced. I only wish it was a longer book and I look forward to reading more stories by this author.

The Trouble with PossibilitiesThe Trouble with Possibilities by Nancie Abuhaidar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Trouble with Possibilities, the debut novel by Nancie Abuhaidar, turned out to be a surprising little package that tugged at my heartstrings.
It is a contemporary women’s fiction story (chick lit) with heartache, rediscovering yourself, finding where you belong, finding love unexpectedly, new beginnings, family, friendship, following your dreams, angst, emotion, drama, love, loss, regrets, hope, possibilities, complex/realistic characters, adventure, and is a journey of discovery.
Sometimes it takes a tragedy to shove us in a new direction, and that’s exactly how Del finds herself winging her way to Africa, on a mission to start her life over. Landing on the vast continent is only the start of her new adventure… what ensues makes for a heartwarming read.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nancie Abuhaidar!

Down By The River by Tricia Gardella . This is such a gorgeous book with its illustrations of streams and rivers. It a great kids book to teach them about streams and rivers and how important they are to humans and animals. It teaches that we all get water from them in more ways than one and that we can also get food from them. It also teaches kids the importance of rivers and streams as a whole to the world. With its beautiful pictures it grabs kids attention and helps them realize how important they are to our world. My 6 year old nephew loved this book and it would make a great gift for the youngster in your life. This author is becoming one of our favorite children’s authors.

This was our first venture into this author’s work, and I couldn’t resist giving it a try. I am so glad I grabbed it because my kiddos and I had an absolute blast reading it! From the moment we opened the book, we found ourselves bopping along to the fantastic rhyming storyline. I’ve noticed that my youngest pays much better attention when there is rhyming involved. The illustrations added an extra layer of fun that tickled our funny bones. With each page, we find Luca Magoo exploring a new situation that involves an outcome of eating glue. I loved the rhythm and flow of the story, and it felt like the perfect length for both of my kids to enjoy. Overall, I think this would make a lovely addition to any home library, classroom, or daycare! I can’t wait to explore more from this author.

The Trouble With Possibilities by Nancie Abuhaidar. I loved this book. It’s the first book by this author I’ve read and it most definitely won’t be my last. It’s the story of Delaney or Del as she goes by, whose life has taken a tragic turn. Her husband has died unexpectedly and even though their marriage wasn’t a happy one it still hurts. Her kids are grown and she finds herself sort of lost so she decides to follow her dream and move to Africa. She has always wanted to work in a school in Africa and is so excited except when she gets there and meets her boss he is a major jerk. She is also smitten with the CEO of the project and what if there is a possibility of a new romance? She decides to throw herself 100% into her job and finds a lot of joy in it. The kids have their own problems she tries to help them with. Del has her own insecurities and is trying to overcome them. Will she be able to let her insecurities go and be the woman she knows she can be. This book was such a joy. I’m a woman of similar age and my child is grown so I could relate a lot to this character. I can’t wait to read another book by this author!

The author of this book is new to me. From the beginning, the story captured my interest. Trinity Redhawk always wanted to be a rodeo queen. But as a teen she had to give up many friendships and potential boyfriends. As she finds herself in her last year of being the rodeo queen, she’s looking forward to being a strong woman and finding a more normal life.
The story is easy to read and follow. The author did a great job of world building and I could imagine the rodeo arena, the rodeo royalty, and spectators. I didn’t realize the book was part of a series. I had no problem following the story even if I didn’t know the names of all the characters.

This is such an interesting story and a unique way to approach it. Even though the story is completely different, it gave me the same vibes I got from reading things like Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies and Hunger Games. And that was just from the description, so I knew I was in for a great read.
The author has clearly given a lot of thought to this story and it shows in the way it was written. Every part of it was well developed and the story really drew me in. For me, this was an unexpected read but one I enjoyed from start to finish. I am looking forward to the others in the series.

War Bunny: Book 1 of the War Bunny ChroniclesWar Bunny: Book 1 of the War Bunny Chronicles by Christopher St. John
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the War Bunny Chronicles. This was a really interesting read, set in a time where humans are extinct and animals have free rein over the world. As a lover of Watership Down I jumped at the chance to read another story about a family of rabbits and their struggle for survival.
My heart cried for Anastasia. Just because she was different and didn’t want to follow the beliefs of the warren she was told she was sick in the head and thrown out of her protective family warren to find her way on her own. The family she had were scared of who is was because she didn’t want to tow the line she wanted to live not just become food for prey.
When she now finds herself kicked out and alone she realises she needs friends to survive.
This is a story about different species coming together and finding a safe space where they can live in harmony.
This is a moving story with links to our world today. It includes issues such as religion, family dynamics and hierarchys and learning to be strong enough to go against things trying to keep us oppressed.
The unique twist of this story being about animals but with them dealing with issues we find ourselves deal with made this story really unique and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more.
