How to Catch Little Boys and Eat Them by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a cute story. A kids twisted version of Jack and the Beanstalk in a good way. I would age this book for children a little bit older than her normal books, but that’s just me. View […]

Little Red, the Detective: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars We enjoyed this book. It’s a scientific twist in Little Red Riding Hood. Plus, it fit in nicely with our forensic science course. Instead of plants, we’re doing animal tracks, but this has got them interested in plants now […]
The Romanov Heiress by Jennifer Laam My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. My normal genre tends to be historical romance and this hit the spot. Between the fiction and diary entries, you can see the author put a lot of work into building the characters. I’m looking forward to reading […]
Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is not my typical genre. This is a historical mystery/mystical fantasy kind of thing.The plot keeps you hooked and wanting more.

Devlin by Angela K. Parker My rating: 4 of 5 stars This isn’t my typical genre. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had time to kill during my kids surgery and while not a nice situation it was nice to be able to sit down and read it all at once […]
Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well first of all, Carl has way more patience than I do. It wouldn’t have a rebuild with my stuff with my siblings and I, it would have been fists and yelling. However, my own kids are kind of like Mira and Carl. They’ll […]
Amaleigha Loves a Good Story by Janice Pratt My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a cute story. It shows that with enough determination anything can get done.

Dwarves’ Dilemma, The by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars Again, I read this story with my youngest son. He says it’s a good story. He also said it teaches the important life lesson that you should always pay your employees… While I’m glad he got that point, I think the bigger one […]
