My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Decisions Matter by Suzanna Lynn is the 3rd book in the Blue Corgi series and teaches children the importance of telling the truth and making good decisions. When someone keeps getting into the trash at Buddy’s house, his owners find Buddy at the scene and assume it’s him. This story shows his dilemma over not being believed when he was telling the truth, and also how important it is to always tell the truth. This was a wonderful way to teach children. It kept my littles interested and explained the life lessons in a sweet and simple way for them. Definitely recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Raccoon Reunion by Terry Sabol was such a fun little book! Very easy to read and entertaining for my kiddos. Rocky is nervous and worried about the family reunion because he hasn’t met anyone there and isn’t having a good time at all. He doesn’t know how to do the things his country cousins know how to do. When they find something that he knows how to do and they don’t, he learns that even though they are different, he has his own skills and they can learn from each other and teach each other.

A Patriot’s Tale by Nicole Pierman – Review by Kat Mellon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Patriot’s Tale: An American Revolutionary War Novel by Nicole Pierman was a really good book! Very easy to read and a page turner.
This book focuses on Lily, a orphan with a thirst for revenge against the redcoats who m*rdered her family. It follows her along as she meets a family who is able to help her reach a rebel settlement. From there, the storyline takes a surprising twist as the enemy commander at a nearby town is completely taken with her (no spoilers!). I definitely recommend this book!
Strong female character, good for mature teens (some war content) and YA. I also read that this was written when the author was 12! You can tell that it was written with a younger narative in mind, but I still really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see what else this author publishes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stop that Lion is such a cute book! I know that anything by lois Wickstrom my kids are going to love and I’m going to enjoy reading it to them, but this one really was adorable. Very unique; it tells the story of two kingdoms who have a lion problem, as in a lion that eats the sheep of the neighboring kingdom! The problem is then solved by a young girl. Very simple and fun for kids, definitely recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Woman Unbroken: A Novel by Alexandra Fleder was such a good read! It was my first time reading anything by this author and would definitely do so again.
This book follows the story of Devorah, who had what seemed like an envious upbringing on the surface; however, recent tragic events causes her to reevaluate much of her life. I love that the main character is allowed to “wallow” in some borderline depression filled days. The story did not bog down, it wasn’t depressing to read, but it was incredibly realistic to see a character that had gone through so much be allowed to have a real world response. Being able to hide away, forget the world and just rest and recoup as much as possible. In the end, Devorah does find her will again and the rest of the story follows her path and she grows stronger and into her own person. A happy ever after that isn’t dependent on someone else!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a very charming story. It also had an educational aspect to it! I love when stories I read are both educational but also cute. It makes me want to recommend them to others. It also keeps the children engaged in the story. I loved that it was short enough to keep kids’ attention but also a story people would not mind reading again! The illustrations were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to those who have kids and are looking for a new educational, inspiring story.
