Triple Trouble at Amberwood (The Amberwood Hall Ballet School Series) by Eleanor Dixon. This is such a great young, middle school story but even as a 54 year old lady I really enjoyed it! Its the story of a old haunted school and teenagers what’s not to love! Lauren is back in school and she is still friends with Grace and Rodney who just happen to be ghosts! When Lauren rescues a ghost from a building that is about to be torn down she doesn’t realize its not a good ghost and it brings bad things with it. When crazy things start happening at Amberwood Hall, Lauren realizes she has to find out who is behind it and why. When Lauren starts to figure out it might be the ghost she rescued what will she do? When their big productions threatens to get cancelled will Lauren put a stop to the ghost. Will this be the thing to end her friendship with Grace? I suggest reading these fun books in order just to know who all the characters are. I love this series and can’t wait for the next.

Delightful early reader short story
Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail is an engaging story that would make a great introduction to chapter book reading for early readers. The characters are relatable, the plot interesting and the writing has good pacing and is easy to follow. Great addition to a classroom or home library. Recommend for ages 7yrs-10yrs.

A fun and enjoyable story aimed at pre-teen age readers, however, as an adult I also thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. It’s part of the ‘Amberwood Hall Ballet School series, about a haunted ballet school. The fearless heroine of the series Lauren just wants to help a new ghost in town, but her act of kindness puts all the ghosts in danger. As she tries to put things right, amongst the strange happenings at the school her friendship with Grace is tested and she gets closer to Jay. Lauren must find out who is causing all the mischief and stop them, however she is torn between her loyalty to her ghostly best friend and her commitment to saving her school. Meanwhile, there is a prestigious show in the old theatre in the town and Lauren’s important exams are coming up. I loved the main character, Lauren and I found her to be extremely likeable, and I can imagine that she would be very relatable to those in the age range that this book is aimed at. The storyline is full of mystery, ghosts, friendship and pre-teen romance, and generally growing up. A wonderfully written story and an engaging read.

Another great read from this series. I can really imagine the authors target audience enjoying these books. They are a great length and would definitely engage the younger readers imagination. There’s lots going on in these stories but not too much to confuse readers, the story is easy to follow and understand. Lauren is a great main character and I can imagine young readers would engage with her and her friends. This book will certainly enhance a young readers imagination through the ghostly goings on.

Starling migration, missing a Grandma, finding wings to fly. This is a beautifully written story. Something that is special about this book is the use of different fonts to show motion and definition in the book – it makes the reader feel the story in a different way than just the same font throughout. Another great Wickstrom book!

Carrie’s Flight is the first book in the Grandma’s Closet’ series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an interesting story, with a bit of adventure, a touch of drama, and imagination.
Grandma has some interesting things stored in her closet. What does Carrie find?
I loved the cover illustration, but was a bit disappointed to find that the ‘inside’ illustrations are not the same type/style. The inner illustrations, although whimsical- don’t draw or hold your attention like the cover picture does. The cover picture made me want to find out what happens- but the others were a bit lacking- in my opinion. A cute story though.
Grandma’s Closet series consists of (so far):
-Carries Flight (Book #1)
-The Round Box (Book #2)
-Magic Wanda (Book #3)
-Treasure Hunt (Book #4)
Happy reading!

Triple Threat at Amberwood is the fourth book in the Amberwood Hall Ballet School Adventures series by Eleanor Dixon. This book continues the ghostly adventures of Lauren (and Grace) at Amberwood Hall ballet school, whom we have met, and followed, from Book #1.
This is another intriguing paranormal children’s story (missile school- ages 7 to 13) with ghosts, mystery, friendship, fun, drama, unexplained and troubling happenings, adventure, mischief/hijinks, high stakes, ticking clock, loyalty vs commitment, and a touch of the paranormal.
Triple Trouble at Amberwood could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading right from the beginning to fully appreciate the story and characters.
I have been enjoying following along on this charming adventure series since the beginning, and think was this is another great instalment to the Amberwood collection.
Another great little story for all ages.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Eleanor Dixon!

Who didn’t want to be a detective when they were younger? I know that I did, and this is a story that opened so many doors for thought. This is a cute story about Dylan and how his little sister Emily grow closer, especially when they have to learn to work together. Dylan wants nothing more than to be a detective, he has saved his allowance to pay for a detective kit. Dylan has even watched every episode of Youth Sleuths so he can learn how to be a good detective. This story is well written and easy for the little ones to follow and enjoy. I loved that the author answered the readers’ questions at the end, and that she thought to add a new word to each chapter. Later, she puts a vocabulary list from the book and the definitions at the back for the little ones to continue to learn. This is a great start to this series, and I look forward to reading what comes next for Dylan and Emily.

Always such beautifully illustrated books with interesting, and unique stories. Carrie loves to watch the Starlings murmuration fly high in the sky with her grandma. Pulling out a box of her grandmas that has feathers on it, Carrie gets the biggest surprise of her life. A moment she will never forget, and she joins the starlings in the sky. The added history at the back of the book was perfect as my seven-year-old son asked me about the starlings at the end of the book and it was an added little story for him to understand why they came to North America and how.

I dove into book 4 of this series having not read any of the previous books. This book is geared more towards 8-12 year olds but most, if not all, age groups would enjoy this book. It took me a minute to get into the story and I think it’s because I did not have a back story going into it since I skipped the first three books. However, I found this to be an enjoyable read.

There are ghosts lurking around Amberwood Hall. Some are friendlier than others and it’s up to Lauren and her friends to figure out what’s causing things to go awry at different times. When the big production at the end of the year is cancelled, there is suspicion as to who might be behind the reason.

Dylan loves a show about detectives called ‘Youth Sleuths’ and wants to be one himself. After saving his allowance he ordered a detective kit. When the kit came in he was eager to begin his new job. When he finds out his neighbour’s mail is missing, he jumps on the case with the help of his little sister and dog.

Dylan and his sister run around the neighbourhood looking for clues, they start off by asking the adults around the street, then moving on to the children. Will they be able to solve the case of the missing mail?

This book was very fast paced which would keep children engaged from start to finish. I also like the relationship between Dylan and his little sister. Even though she is younger, he still tries his hardest to include her in his game. Plus the dog was cute and funny.

Each review I leave for this author feels like it could be a applied to every book we have read, they are all that good. And this book is just another in a long line that has been a success in our house. Both of my kids loved the idea of having wings and really enjoyed seeing the images in this book of Carrie and her wings. And the information teaching them about birds created a really interesting narrative.
As with all of her books, this one is fun, educational, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. We have already read it multiple tines and I am sure will read it many more.

This is book 4 in the Amberwood Hall Ballet School Series. This has been a great series for readers young and old alike. The author does an amazing job with the story making it unique and different and filled with twists and turns you don’t see coming. I would recommend reading these books in order so you get a full picture of all the characters.
The mixture of a old haunted school, ghosts who are fun and and witty as well as the normal teenagers makes this a store that will keep you entertained.

We are back with Lauren and her school friends as well as her ghost friends Grace and Rodney.
Lauren thinks she is doing a good thing when she rescued a ghost from a building that was about to be torn down. However this ghost isn’t all that she seems and when strange and dangerous things start happening at Applewood Hall, Lauren needs to figure out who is responsible and why.

“Carrie’s Flight” by Lois Wickstrom is a heartwarming and magical children’s book that beautifully explores the bond between generations and the power of love. The story follows young Carrie, who discovers a set of antique wings belonging to her Grandma. Determined to reunite with her Grandma, who has moved across town, Carrie embarks on an enchanting adventure to make the wings fly and reach Grandma’s new house.

What truly shines in “Carrie’s Flight” is the emphasis on the power of love. Carrie’s determination to reach her Grandma and the bond they share is beautifully portrayed. The shared moments of watching starlings together create a magical atmosphere, further highlighting the importance of love and connection between family members.

The illustrations in the book are delightful, adding an extra layer of charm to the story. They effectively capture the emotions and the magic of Carrie’s journey, enhancing the overall reading experience.

Children of all ages will love this tale of a young girl Carrie who finds antique wings. Just thinking about all the dreams, they could imagine when reading about flying. I mean who hasn’t dreamt of flying.
This magical tale showcases the love between a grandmother and her granddaughter.
I read this to my grandsons who are five and three and yes, they now want their own set of wings!
A great book to gift to others and especially this time of year.

Oh how I enjoy these stories. They are perfect for the middle school age group. The middle-schoolers in the stories are such a fun group. There are few that can see the ghosts which makes it even more entertaining. I loved the mystery they had this time. The writing is perfect.

Carrie found a pair of antique wings that used to be her Grandmothers. I found it fascinating how the story built around the movement of birds in flight. This story was about starlings. It was also about sharing memories with generational memories. Every book this author writes is always fascinating because there is a little tidbit in there about family. This is a science learning book about Starlings. I found out some new tidbits about Starlings in the information section included at the end of the story. A beautiful story that I recommend for any home with children.

I spent my school life in a girls’ boarding-school specialising in classical ballet and on leaving I danced professionally, touring Europe, for 4 years. After that, I ran my own ballet school in Athens, Greece for several years and simultaneously volunteered as a veterinary nurse, as my love of animals is the driving force in my life. I returned to England with my horse and my cat, and now live on a smallholding in Shropshire with my husband, various farm animals and a constant stream of pets.

I started writing while in Greece and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writers’ Bureau. The same year, I won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult Fairy Story.

On my return to England, I wrote two children’s books, but my new life, caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens, and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. I continued my love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.

I am now writing full time and THE GRACEFUL GHOST was my first self-published book. It was shortlisted for the UK Selfies 2021 Award and draws on my own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and early teenage life. Book two, Ballet School Boys, introduces boys to the school and book three, Ballet School Rumours continues their adventures with the resident ghosts, Grace and Rodney.

I am also working on a six-book series called TALLY AND THE ANGEL. Tally and her angel’s first adventure takes them to India. In the second book they go to Canada, in North Yukon and the third in Japan. I intend them to have adventures in Greece, Egypt, Peru – anywhere I have been, really. Each book has an extra story woven into it because every chapter starts with a paragraph telling the back story of one of the mystical elements of the story. Book One tells the story of Jophiel, the Angel. Book Two tells the story of Auric, the Spirit of Gold.

I am truly passionate about writing and have all my books professionally edited and proofread before going to print.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luna is a young husky with brothers and sisters galore, but she doesn’t play with them much because she can’t howl, and she doesn’t fit in. This makes Luna feel lonely because she can’t sing with the winds or at the moon, no matter how hard she tries.

One day Luna makes a friend who is as shy and quiet as she is, so they play together and become the best of friends, but Luna still can’t howl and unlike her siblings, she hasn’t been adopted, but will she ever be able to howl and find her forever home?

This is charming story with lovely illustrations, and which has a very important lesson we all should learn and that is to treat everyone with kindness, even if they are different because everyone is deserving of happiness.
