A Pig and a Poke by Tricia Gardella – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

A Pig and A PokeA Pig and A Poke by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Pig and a Poke is a children’s book, that while we’ll written, I didn’t like the topic. I chose to read it because my son and i have enjoyed other picture books by this author. I didn’t even know what was going on, and had to google it. Apparently its pig wrestling or pig scramble- was well described in the story. Angela and other children are chasing a pig around a pen, trying to catch it. If they can hold on long enough, they “win” the pig. The author did a good job portraying how the children may feel, tired, defeated, and finally, victorious. But, since I think this activity is pretty mean for the animal, I wouldn’t recommend this book to others. Read others by this author instead.

Unmasking A Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Jessie Hopkins

I love this series! Knowing this book would be about Abby & Joe had me anxious to find out more. But right from the start, I was not expecting the information told. From the beginning I was shocked and ready to find out more.
I enjoyed having Ryan & Meg along with Ted & Stephanie weaved in. Learning little bits about them was nice.
As usual, Hank really brings it all together and learning more about him and his history was great.
This is a wonderful addition to the series and I truly enjoyed it.

Kids everywhere are going to love this story of Luca and his art class! Adults will love it too! I laughed out loud at several pages of instances that Luca was imagining himself in. The illustrations are very well done and colorful. I love the rhyming in the book and the story if very fun and imaginative! Time to get creative and ask your littles, “what would you do with glue?!”

Unmasking A Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Book 3)Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Abby Witt moved to town 2 years ago. She’s won over almost everyone in town, except Joe Staunch. Joe can’t figure out what it is about her that makes him feel like this. When Abby’s secret is revealed Joe realizes that maybe he’s been wrong about her all along. Will they be able to put aside their own insecurities and finally get their happy endings?

I enjoyed the storyline of the book but I found the writing style to be very choppy. I felt that this made the story harder to follow. I found the supporting characters to be flat. I really like books that have well developed supporting characters. This could also be because I haven’t read the first books in the series. Perhaps if I had I might have learned more about the town and it’s residents.

Lapidius: Book 1 (A Nation Found Series) by Matthew Runals – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Lapidius (A Nation Found Book 1)Lapidius by Matthew Runals
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lapidius is the first book in the A Nation Found series. It’s a children’s series with a magic boarding school and a big tournament-type thing that will appeal to fans of similar series. The dystopian setting is thought-provoking and creates situations where the children are in danger.

There’s a fun group of characters at the centre of this story. As they learn to cope with the rigorous military training and intense social dynamics at Lapidius their strengths, weaknesses and priorities are highlighted. I like that there are a lot of times we see the kids helping each other out!

I would recommend this more for teen/YA readers. Children who are confident readers and are comfortable reading more violent scenes would also enjoy it, and I think it could be a fun book to read together as there is plenty to discuss around the ethics and decisions of different characters.

This book gets four stars from me. I enjoyed the excitement and adventure, and there’s plenty of worldbuilding that has gone into it. I look forward to reading more of the series!

Sarge has appeared in previous books such as Mission 3047 and Sarge. This book delves deeper into the mysterious character of Sarge, revealing more about him. “Sarge: Going Deep” is a unique sci-fi adventure that explores Sarge’s intriguing story. The story includes investigations, personal experiences, space exploration, UFOs, aliens, and top-secret missions, engaging readers throughout. The book reintroduces old characters and introduces new ones.
It’s an engaging and original story that is easy to read and offers something a little different, making it more entertaining. Stuart, the author, puts his heart and soul into his work, which is evident in the words. If you enjoy something unique and different, be sure to read Stuart’s work.Reviewed by @jennadb

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Cam Creates A Hero is an engaging and captivating read for the curious and kind at heart. Imagine wanting something and it comes to life right out of your drawing. I imagined the Transformers sounds when he came to life. Your very own hero bot. It is thanks to Lau Franks wonderful colourful illustrations that this story comes to life.
This is the second engaging educational tale in the Courage Tales series where fostering children’s self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and feeling safe for those in foster care is the name of the game. As with Loris Opens Up His Heart this one will hit you in all the feels as well. It teaches valuable and important life lessons all rolled up in a great tale.
Cam has a big heart and doesn’t want anyone being hurt if he can help it. What would be more help than a robot that could defend those who are in need of defending.
Its not just a story there are added goodies to be found as well. Happy Reading.

Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author… I am obsessed with her books. I cannot get enough of them. She has a way of putting an entire world in a short book. This one is no different. A part of me was like wait, I need more! But it didn’t leave me feeling like I was missing anything. I would probably still feel that way if she wrote a book that was 700 pages long. Her books are cozy. Not really like a cozy, fireplace, leaf vibe. More like a witchy, supernatural, potions and magic kind of cozy, if that makes sense.
On to the actual story here. This story has shifters. Not the usual wolves though. There is nothing usual about this author’s stories. In this one, we have a few different ones. Including the main character – a vulture shifter. Acheron, leaves his safe place to follow a “call within”. Why did he feel this? Was it a mistake to follow this pull? Can he get his happy ending? Read to find out! Seriously, you need to read.

This was a really sweet book. Cam is a foster kid with a mission. There are a few darker mentions in this story, so be prepared. It is handled very well though. I believe in kids knowing these types of things happen in life. This author touches on them gently and beautifully. This story mentions real life things, including heavy emotions, but also includes a little imagination for the young reader. Cam feels a lot of sadness and tries to build a robot. Can he succeed? Is there hope out there when so many bad things happen? This is the perfect book to answer that question.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a chunky book. At over 400 pages, it’s defintely on the larger size to tackle. However, it needed to be. There was so much detail and world building in this story. There was just so much altogether. You get sucked into a different time and place. It is exactly what you want from a book. This book is geared towards kids, but more so the teenage years. (Depending on the child) Though this is a heavy book with a TON of detail, it is easy to read.
The main character finds himself in what is to be like a military school. He soon has a group of friends who are all training essentially for a game. This will get them ready for the war that is brewing around them. These friends soon discover that there are monsters and magic within.

I have to say I am not usually a short story reader or a huge fan of Historical romances but this talented author with her creative storylines and wonderful writing may just have changed my mind.
I guess you would call this a spin off of Pride and Prejudice as it features one of its characters Miss Georgiana Darcy. She was completely new to me though as I haven’t actually read Pride and Prejudice. I truly was drawn into her story and my heart was so invested! read this book today! you won’t regret it.

I picked up this book expecting quite a fun and lighthearted kids story. But what we got felt like it was so much more than that. I loved the fact that Cam is a foster kid. This is something we have talked about as a family quite a lot recently as one of our close friends has an adopted little girl. And although there is a difference, this really helped to reinforce the message of being able to choose your family and who you want to love!
The book itself was really well written and genuinely a joy to read. We all seemed to get so much from this book and both my kids and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is one of those books that seems to stay with you long after reading it and I personally already cannot wait to read it again! I would highly recommend this book.

Lapidius: Book 1 (A Nation Found Series) by Matthew Runals – Review by Amanda Swindle

LapidiusLapidius by Matthew Runals
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lapidius (A Nation Found Book 1) is a YA Dystopian Fiction full of mystical creatures and monsters all around. While this is intended as a YA, there is some violence and heavier content that comes with a military/war setting, and some parents may not be comfortable with this. The story is a coming of age, incorporating family and friendship bonds, building trust, and young teens finding themselves in a harsh world. When the war comes too close to home, Joey’s mother sends him away to a military school, Lapidius, to keep him safe and to ensure he has food and shelter. Lapidius is not just your every day run of the mill school though, it is a school to hone and perfect skills in a magical world. The kids must learn to trust each other, and themselves, in order to survive. This is a bit on par with Hunger Games or Maze Runner, but also unique and completely different. The setting and characters are believable and easy to follow, with plenty of action. I liked that the ending left things open for more to follow and things can go in so many different directions, so I am interested to see what the next book brings.

Lapidius (A Nation Found Book 1)Lapidius by Matthew Runals
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Lapidius” by Matthew Runals offers a thought-provoking narrative set in a declining nation once vibrant with culture and hope. The novel explores the consequences of a society that has lost its way, where greed and numbness have replaced inspiration and purpose. Runals’ portrayal of Novum Albion reflects a deeper commentary on the fragility of societal values and the erosion of identity. Lapidius, a martial institute for children, emerges as a beacon of structure and purpose amid the chaos. Through the experiences of the youth at the school, the story delves into themes of discipline, identity, and the search for meaning in a compromised world. Runals captures the emotional and philosophical struggles of a generation trying to find their place, making this a compelling read for those interested in dystopian themes intertwined with personal growth.

This was a very fast-moving tale that intricately weaves together so much from mythology, astrology, dark magic, monsters, war, secrets, fear, action, fantasy, sci-fi, magic, family, and gods. I did not know that this was the 5th book so I didn’t read the other ones, and I will say that I was a little lost about what was going on, but it didn’t take me much to figure it out, but I recommend reading them in order, which is what I will be doing next. I found this book hard to put it down and couldn’t stop reading to know what was going to happen. The characters in this book must go thou some tough journey and discussions and figure who to trust and then question almost everything that they do. Each one had a unique and well-developed personality. I really enjoyed this book and will be going back to read the rest.

I’m more of a Bronte girl than a Jane Austen fan, and nor is Pride and Prejudice my favourite Austen novel. But you can’t deny that Pride and Prejudice was revolutionary and there’s a reason it remains so beloved today. I think it’s a really interesting perspective to consider Georgiana’s situation at the end of Pride and Prejudice because it offers a different woman’s story after she is compromised by Mr Wickham. Obviously this means that it would be better to read this short story after reading Pride and Prejudice for it to make sense, and I do think it could have been fleshed out more. I did appreciate that Austen’s language is retained because I think that is part of the charm of reading Austen in the 21st century.

This book really tugs at the heartstrings. Cam wans to create something to help other children that have been hurt or traumatized by adults. My eyes tended to leak as I read this story because as one of those kids growing up, I wish someone had been there. Cam wanted to make a robot protector but it didn’t go very well. As a bookworm, I loved his idea of turning his robot into a book that could be shared with the children in the hospital. This was such a wonderful idea. Cam is one of my favorite series because it brings such hopeful messages. This story brings up so many emotions. As a nubie author, I would love to create a superhero story like Cam for all the hurt kids. This story gives hope and love. I shared it and hugs with my grandchildren. It’s been requested a couple times already. I’m going to buy some extra copies for our Kinship agency to give out. It’s a wonderfully illustrated story that should be shared with everyone. The message it delivers is worth sharing everywhere.

I’m going to be honest I wasn’t sure going in what to expect as this is a new author to me. I had a really hard time getting into the story until several chapters in and by then I was forcing myself to keep going.

Josh returns home after several disappointments growing up only to find his new home isn’t what it seems. Small towns are always slow to welcome newcomers but this town has it’s own secrets to be discovered. Moving in to a small town 10 years ago we have always had our own outsider experiences so this book is relatable; however, I’m grateful that those lurking in our town aren’t looking at us like a meal. This book was well written and kept me engaged. The vivid details were like watching a horror movie in the middle of the night then trying to sleep!

Josh Blevins had high hopes and big dreams of being a writer, however, when he took his adorable husky and headed off to college at NYU, things didn’t quite go as planned and because of this and other bad luck, he had to head back home. Unfortunately for Josh, he cannot stay with his parents forever and instead ups sticks again and moves to Midnight Falls, another small town to settle into a less busy life.

At first, everything seems to be going well, he finds a job writing for the local paper and makes friends with his neighbours, all while fixing up his rental and meeting a young woman who makes him feel safe. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy to make his acquaintance and he soon becomes caught in the gaze of the local Sheriff and not in a good way. He seems to be the recipient of pranks, side eyes and whispers whenever he visits one of the local premises and gets the feeling that he is being constantly watched, but things soon escalate and secrets which were long buried bubble to the surface.

The town has the usual lack of appreciation of those who are not local, those who are different and those who don’t conform to the norm of a mid-western small town, but these secrets are bloody and dangerous, haunting and beastly and as he becomes more of an outsider than any local should be, the mask starts to slip and Josh begins to see what lies beneath, but what will happen when the town finds out that he suspects what the dark secrets truly are and will he survive long enough to reconcile with it? This is a fantasy horror which leads you down the rabbit hole of small town life and attitudes into the warren of secrets and lies which lie beneath it in this fast paced and gripping tale.

This is a very short historical romance from the Love Through The Ages Series . This is a beautifully written romance. The author does a great job of bringing that time period to life.
The authors writing style and descriptions really bring to life the characters she is portraying and I like how the author covers issues such as a young woman being tricked before and the possibility of a ruined reputation and shows the reader exactly how the bad the consequences could be for a woman in that position.
I love Georgiana’s character. She had been burnt and scared to fall for another love again but it didn’t stop her from following her heart.

As I said this is a short read which meant I read it in one sitting. It is also a stand alone so you don’t need to read other books first to follow this story, however if you enjoy historical romances then I recommend reading more by this author.

Dagmara is a Montreal-based mother of two, who is committed to children’s education and emotional well-being. Born in Poland, and living in Canada, Dagmara Sitek wears many hats—a mom, a wife, and a digital marketer in her 9-to-5 world.
Once a kid who loved drawing and writing, she jumped into writing children’s books because she realized something important – not all kids get a fair shot at life. Her debut as an author merges childhood passions with a new mission – to bring hope and awareness to children’s struggles.


“Loris Opens Up His Heart” by Dagmara Sitek was inspired by the tragic story of 8-year-old Kamilek from Czestochowa, who died due to mistreatment by his stepfather. It is a testament to the power of empathy and compassion. It models positive interactions and helps kids put themselves in someone else’s shoes. More importantly, it encourages them to help one another and overcome fears.

Stumbling across a dead body could be the making … or breaking of an aspiring reporter.
In the midst of 1958, when the workforce is predominantly male, societal norms dictate women should be compliant, fashionable housewives. To Ariadne Winter, the sole tradition she aims to embrace is that of being fashionable. Amidst the ambiance of Ivy Tree Inn, where she’s been dispatched as a writer for Ladies’ Lifestyle Magazine, her focus wavers as she grapples with an interview assignment concerning a Hollywood starlet on the cusp of royal matrimony—an event hailed as the “Wedding of the Century.” While Ariadne dutifully attends to her task, her heart yearns for the pursuit of her collegiate ambition: to be an investigative reporter for a renowned newspaper.
However, fate intervenes when she discovers a dead body and recognizes the opportunity it presents to write her way into the role she desires. Yet, as Ariadne delves deeper into the lives of the inn’s inhabitants, she uncovers a labyrinth of intertwined relationships and long-buried secrets among guests and staff alike, yielding a plethora of suspects. With a murderer on the loose, her magazine deadline looming, and the inn cordoned off by authorities, Ariadne faces a race against time to untangle the web of deceit and solve the murder before she loses more than just her job.

It is a quick yet thoroughly satisfying read, balancing brevity with depth. The author skillfully crafts a narrative that’s both engaging and immersive. Georgiana tugged at my heartstrings a bit as she struggled with her internal battles. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but fans of Jane Austen-inspired fiction will find much to adore in this captivating retelling.
