The Courage series just keeps getting better and this book is no exception to that. Beefy is learning how to deal with his emotions and rather than taking things out on others, his new friends invite him to help them. The illustrations are great and the story is wonderful.
Cam Creates a Hero (Courage Tales Series) by Dagmara Sitek. This book is a little heavier than most for kids but its about a very real subject. Its about Cam who after hearing a news story about a 8 year old girl getting hurt by her step mom and ending up in the hospital, Cam wants to try to help her and others like her. He decides he’s going to build a robot to help protect kids but the outcome is not what he imagined. He goes to sleep defeated but has a dream the robot is real and is very helpful. The robot tells Cam to keep drawing and those drawings will help. So he does and he comes up with a book about helping kids! This is a very neat book that is unfortunately needed in this day and age. This is a wonderful book for kids that are a bit older than can understand more and it teaches believing in yourself and never giving up on your dreams. It also teaches children to be thankful to live in a safe, healthy environment.
Sarge: Going Deep by Stuart Ledwith – Review by Britney Humphreys
4 Stars
This book was a tough one for me to finish. It is not terribly long at 131 pages, but the dialogue was choppy. The plot and story were interesting-even for someone who is not a fan of alien/UFO stories, and if the dialogue had been better, I might go check out the other books in the series. The dialogue between the characters, though, was stilted and made it difficult to read. I felt there were too many instances of the author using extra descriptive words for how or why the character made a statement when it was evident due to the context without the extra words.

Oh, wow what a ride. This is the first book I have read by Kay Ross and my oh my it was a spectacular ride. In a world where magic is known but forbidden to combine the outcome giving birth to “curses” this book gives an original take on discovering what it is to be alive. Whisper is a disembodied spirit with knowledge, but no memories. While this might sound like a good thing, Whisper’s first experience of existence is fear, panic, and coldness. Finding compassion in a young woman named Ethene, this instantly becomes her favorite connection. All too quickly the joy of learning how to control “her” body and move, and talk she is faced with what death means. Death is an ending. Her goal quickly becomes that of staying alive and keeping others from being ended because of them. Whisper wants to make death, killing and ending outlawed. They want fear to be eradicated so that no one will ever feel it again. Will Whisper succeed in protecting all from death and fear? Can she keep Ethene safe to achieve her goals? Or will Whisper slip back into the trees, and vines to live out their days? Being inside Whisper’s mind gave me Host feelings but at the same time so much more. Whisper isn’t a preexisting being they are a newborn and while they have no memories, they have knowledge they can pull on to quickly understand basic information. Only their first feeling of existence is nearly their ending. Ending another is quickly understood to be wrong by them and the journey they go on to try and abolish it will take you on an adventure with twists, turns, and revelations you may have never thought about before opening this book and diving in headfirst. Highly recommend. I will diffidently be keeping my eyes out for book two, to see what happens next in this amazing new and original series.

This was my first venture into this author’s work, but the cover art grabbed my attention right away. As soon as I read the synopsis, I knew I had to dive in. I was taken aback by how much I loved this book. It has been one of the top reads for the entire year! This is a captivating fantasy novel that explores profound themes of existence, choice, and the morality of power through the lens of a sentient curse. The story begins with Whisper’s harrowing first experience, causing a death that haunts it throughout the narrative. The complexity of Whisper’s character is compelling and the relationships it builds with its allies are touching, revealing its desire to protect those it comes to cherish.
The world-building is rich and immersive, and the tenion escalates beautifully leading to a moral quandary that asks readers to ponder the cost of eradicating death: who must die for the sake of a greater good? The prose is lyrical and thoughtful, blending action with philosophical reflection, allowing readers to engage deeply with the characters’ motivations. The pacing is well-balanced, with moments of introspection interspersed with thrilling encounters, ensuring the narrative never loses momentum. The author fit plenty of humor in as well. This book truly has it all!
Ultimately, this is a poignant exploration of sacrifice and the nature of existence. It will have a significant impact on you and leave you to reflect long after the final pages. This novel is a must-read for anyone who enjoys complex characters and thought-provoking narratives in their fantasy literature. It’s a fresh take on the genre that lingers in the mind, challenging our understanding of life, death, and what it truly means to be human.

With this being sci-fi, it is not my normal go to read. Normally it’s hard for me to keep track of everything going on. This is part of a series but I’ve only read this one. The plot and character development were written well though and I didn’t have much trouble keeping up with it. I’m glad I reached out of my comfort zone to try something new. Definitely recommend this book!

The author masterfully intertwines action with drama, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. The pace is brisk, ensuring that each chapter leaves you eager for more, while the relationships among characters, both familiar and new, add an emotional resonance to the adventure.

Sarge: Going Deep by Stuart Ledwith PHD. Is the continuation of Mission 3047. This is definitely one of those books that you can absolutely lose yourself in but also one of those special ones you have to savor. From start to finish you can definitely feel the love the author had for this series. I adored this book, and refused to put it down. I definitely recommend this series!

I usually stick to my typical historical fiction, fantasy, and Romantic comedies, but every now and then I like to branch out and read something fresh, out of my realm. Science Fiction is not something I usually read, but original and intriguing this definitely was. Now, this is apparently a continuation of a character from another book by this author, so I cannot attest to if these read better in some certain order or not. This was a unique sci-fi story that if you’re looking to shake up your reading or even if you read this genre all the time would be a worthwhile read.

This is a continuation of the story from mission 3047. Some of the characters we have met before in previous stories and some of the characters are new. This book could be read as a standalone as in this book we get a more in depth look at Sarge himself. Not only his past but also his determination and passion for the role he finds himself in today. This is a great sci-fi read which has twists and turns, special secret missions, UFO’s, aliens and space exploration. As I said before we also get a deeper look into Sarge himself and we learn more about his story. This is a very unique story and the author does a great job of building a world that the reader can lose themselves in as well as making characters that the reader can’t help but feel connected to. I love a book where I can lose myself in between the pages and this was a definately one of those. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Great read. I was happy to see how Chloe and Joe were doing, off on a well deserved vacation. Liv is really making a name for herself working with Sarge, she seems to be following in her mother’s footsteps and it seems to be a really great fit for her. I really enjoyed the story. The author did very well with descriptions, I had this book playing out movie style in my head the whole time. The concept of the ship “mother” that can cloak, is exciting, and Liv can actually communicate with it. How crazy would it be to meet aliens and see people who have been trapped yet preserved for 15 years! It is interesting to see how Liv has to figure out how to help, Verun and her sisters. And she can talk to her ship, Mother. Love that. Crazy, and fun story with so much detail. I would like to see how Liv and Jay fair.

The story was different, but I liked it. It’s about a curse that isn’t really a curse because it has gained sentience and wants to save people and end death. Whisper at first creates fear, but in the end, the people who Whisper connects with forge friendships with it. The ending is a bit sad but hopeful.

“Sarge: Going Deep” by Stuart Ledwith is a thrilling continuation of the adventures of Sarge, blending sci-fi, intrigue, and a dash of humor into an engaging and fast-paced story. Ledwith’s mix of military themes, extraterrestrial elements, and bold characters creates a novel that will appeal to fans of classic sci-fi and action-adventure stories alike.
The plot kicks off with Sarge at the forefront once again, this time joined by a new female protagonist, Dr. Liv Manginaro. Also referred to as “Agent Scully,” Liv steps into the spotlight as a capable and intelligent figure, recruited by the Celestial Guardians for a high-stakes rescue mission. With June on vacation, Liv takes the helm as the story’s leading heroine, providing a refreshing, dynamic counterpoint to Sarge. Her sharp mind and competence shine through as she navigates the various challenges of the mission, showcasing her strength while never overshadowing the importance of teamwork.
The novel’s cast of characters is expanded to include a US Navy Admiral, spaceships, and a new alien race, all of which add layers of intrigue and excitement to the plot. Ledwith has a knack for weaving together military realism with the fantastical elements of space travel and alien encounters, making the story both relatable and imaginative. The introduction of a new alien race adds an interesting twist to the narrative, heightening the tension and suspense as Sarge and his crew work to complete their mission. This blend of real-world military tactics and far-out science fiction keeps the reader engaged and invested in the outcome.
One of the novel’s strengths is its balance of action and light-hearted moments. Sarge is a tough and experienced leader, but Ledwith injects moments of humor and camaraderie that keep the tone from becoming too heavy. These lighter moments help humanize the characters, giving them depth beyond the typical action-hero mold. The inclusion of little details, like the recommendation to enjoy the book with hot chocolate and a blanket, speaks to the cozy, accessible nature of Ledwith’s writing. Despite the high-stakes setting, there’s a warmth and familiarity that makes the reader feel connected to the characters.
“Sarge: Going Deep” is also notable for its strong female representation. Dr. Liv Manginaro is portrayed as both intelligent and resilient, capable of handling herself in complex, high-pressure situations. She is a worthy successor to June and stands out as a protagonist in her own right, furthering Ledwith’s tradition of featuring powerful women in key roles.
If there’s one area where the book could offer more, it’s in the exploration of the new alien race, which seems to take a backseat to the action. Readers who enjoy more in-depth world-building might crave additional details about this intriguing species and its place in the broader universe Ledwith is constructing.
Overall, “Sarge: Going Deep” delivers what fans of the series will expect—action, adventure, and a touch of humor—while introducing a fresh protagonist who complements Sarge’s rough-and-ready style. The blend of sci-fi elements with military precision, along with a dash of interstellar intrigue, makes this book a fun and entertaining read. Whether you’re a returning fan or a newcomer to Ledwith’s world, this installment will keep you turning pages and looking forward to the next mission.

When I saw this book was available, I instantly looked forward to getting to know more about this character. I enjoyed the first book he was in and this one certainly allows you to expand on your knowledge of him. I connected with the character again with ease and felt like I just got straight into the story. I almost forget these books are science fiction, as I get such an action / adventure feel to them. But I think that makes me enjoy them even more. I was pulled into the story and found myself really engaging with everything going on. This was a great follow up to the first book.

Amazing book ! Loved the story from this author. The lessons learned from this book, dream big, perseverance and creativity, just to name a few. I read this book to the grands and they can not wait for me to get more from this author. The illustrations we absolutely perfect, the characters were well developed and the theme was spot on. Will be recommending to others with Littles.
This book does a great job in showing kids that there is a reason behind every bully. Beefy’s reason is jealousy due to his parents not being there. You find out that even though his parents give him everything he wants, he really just wants them to show up. This also gave ideas on how to help deal with a bully situation, which include asking for help and pointing out the good. While this does have a simplistic solution as to why Beefy is a bully and how the problem is solved it does relay a good message to kids.
This is such a heartwarming story!! Things are not always as they seem and sometimes people project things differently because of how they are treated by others. In this story, Beefy has good things happening but he’s mad. Really and truthfully, he’s probably more hurt. He takes these feelings out on others instead of directing them towards the offenders. When the foster sibling crew get ahold of Beefy, they learn a lot from him, and they from him. Love, courage, and friendship can never be over rated!

Beefy goes from bully to buddy was a good, well illustrated childrens story that covered important lessons for children to learn early in life. I thought Beefy was a little bit of an odd choice for a child’s name, but in a way made sense at the same time with the over aggressive, good at sports, jock type. I also enjoyed seeing the foster kiddos from the previous books have a roll in this one as well. It was a good addition to the series.

A sci-fi series that brings the reader to new experiences, finding out more about Sarge and Scully as they get into covert operations and experience extra terrestrial beings. The story has suspense, intrigue, and so much more while at the same time the characters learn about other beings and how they help the main characters. The author brings a world I didn’t expect but one I’d like to learn more about. Overall, I enjoyed the story.

5 Stars Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy (Courage Tales Series) by Dagmara Sitek
Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy is part of the Courage Tales Series. My son and I truly enjoyed reading this book. Beefy is the schools biggest Bully. He likes stirring up trouble. He even tries to Bully Giorgio the hero bot. One thing I’ve drilled in my six year old head is be kind,be safe,be responsible. Being kind Goes a long ways. I’ve also taught him that sometimes people or kids act out because they crave attention and love they may not be getting at home. The colorful illustrations help bring the story to life. There’s a great lesson to be learned reading this book. We highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. My son and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

The books in this Courage Tales Series are so cute and great for kids learning to deal with their emotions. Sometimes kids are mean because something in their life is going wrong, so they take it out on other people. That happens her in Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy. Beefy gets the winning goal for the soccer team, but he’s mad. His parents didn’t show up for the game when they promised they’d be around more. Beefy tries to beat up Gavin, but his foster siblings and their robot who helps kids steps in. Read more about the robot in a previous book (Cam Creates a Hero). They take Beefy home to find his parents not home, but their phones are there and some things are out of place. Beefy and the Super Buddies team look around until they spot his parents trapped! The team must help Beefy to save his parents. I won’t say anything more and give it away, but the book is super cute. I think that kids can relate to these books and they will help them learn the correct ways to deal with certain emotions and problems. The illustrations are great as well! I can’t wait to read more with my kids from this author. Great for first libraries, younger kids, and bedtime stories.
WOW what an incredible page turner of a book, I honestly couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to know how this story was going to go. This book had so much, and it was hard not to find something I didn’t like about it, it was filled with suspense, love, fantasy, mystery, twists and turns, related characters, action and so much more. Whisper had to learn so much and figure things out, and what to do that it was easy to understand where they were coming from and what they were going thou. The growth with the character thou the book was very well done that it was hard not to feel like you were right there holding their hand thou it all. This is a highly recommendable book that I don’t think you will be disappointed by.

I liked the concept of this story. You have someone who is a bully because he doesn’t feel loved at home and is taking it out on kids at school. Those kids in turn try really hard to help Beefy realize that he’s a bully and they end up helping him save his parents and all is right with the world. I really liked the creative, fun, colorful illustrations. I feel that a lot of emphasis was put on the kids being bullied helping the bully rather than the bully trying to understand that he shouldn’t do that. I would have liked to see more emphasis on some self-realization from Beefy rather than his “friends” having to do all of the heavy lifting for him.
Beefy Goes From Bully to Buddy is the third book in the Courage Tales series by Dagmara Sitek who has lovingly crafted another wonderfully meaningful children’s story – with lovely, colourful illustrations that help to bring the story to life. Beefy has been causing strife with his bullying antics. The Super Buddies team have had enough of Beefy’s bullying and make a plan to take him home and talk to his parents about his behaviour. But what happens when they arrive at Beefy’s home and get trapped in a video game? Well, they are all going to have to work together if they have any chance of escaping. So, get set for a great little adventure… This is not only a cute tale but teaches valuable life lessons along the way, such as: how to deal with bullies/bullying, teamwork, friendship, staying connected + invested, empathy/compassion, technology/science, building self-confidence, self-awareness, emotional regulation/emotional intelligence, promotes a positive mindset, reminds us to focus on what’s important, and that change can be good. This was such a lovely, heartwarming story that left me with all the ‘feel-good’ vibes of a meaningful story. Looking forward to reading more of this series…

This is a cute little book for kids. It discusses what somebody that’s bullying someone might actually be going through. I read this book to my 5 year old. She really enjoyed reading it with me. She was able to read quite a lot of it on her own. There’s a lesson for kids and also one for parents. I think Dagmara did an amazing job of bringing the world these characters live into life and there was definitely character development in this book.

I am someone who reads a lot. At least fifty books a year, to over 100 books in a year. I love those Hallmark romance stories, I love magical, paranormal, thriller, crime, young adult, etc. You name it, and I love it. Even if I read stories that are pretty similar in plot, I still enjoy reading them. Having said that, there is something so amazing about finding a story that is so incredibly unique, you’re absolutely captivated. This is one of those stories. I don’t come across them too often, even with the amount of books I read. This story is funny, dramatic, emotional, and over all just a fantastic read. I can’t wait to read more in the series in the future.

This is a story about a big, strong guy named Beefy who used to scare other kids. He learns a valuable lesson that being nice is better than being mean. He makes a new friend named Max who encourages him to be kind. Beefy learns that bullying can really hurt people.
Overall, the book is a heartwarming and educational story that is perfect for young readers. It is a great choice for parents and educators looking for books that promote positive values and teach children about the importance of empathy and kindness. The pictures are fun and colourful keeping the attention of the children reading it.
