Hope For A New World (Gaia’s Voice Series) by Renee W Peek – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Hope For a New World (The Hope Series Book 1)Hope For a New World by Renee W. Peek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hope For a New World is Book One in The Hope Series. It is a sci-fi fantasy that contains the underlying message about protecting the environment. The story is told from the POV of several characters that are easy to get emotionally invested with due to their strength, courage, and determination to save mother earth. The earth has been destroyed by power, corruption, greed, and pollution. One group of strong women sets off on a mission to heal mother earth. This book had an intriguing storyline with fantasy, action, suspense, and a strong underlying message about climate change. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Book Two.

Amaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Amaleigha and the Big IdeaAmaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amaleigha is a five-year-old girl who loves to spend time in her backyard forest. She will sit for hours and watch how the animals play. One day while outdoors enjoying her time in nature Amaleigha comes up with a big idea on how she can share what she loves with others. She enlists the help of friends and family to make her idea become a reality.

Amaleigha is smart, determined and a real go-getter. She might be only five years old, but she has some big ideas that she needs to share with her community. This book is intended for young children, but I feel that it conveys a strong message about the importance of following your dreams, at any age. It also shows what great things can be accomplished when people work together to make them a reality. The illustrations are beautiful, and each scene is so descriptive that the reader cannot help but become fully immersed into the story. A must read for children of all ages!
