Tally grapples with a life-altering decision when she meets 13 year-old Theo on a Greek Island. Will she trust him to gain her heart’s desire? Or will her angel’s dire warnings prevail? Dive into this thrilling fourth adventure in the Tally and the Angel series, where ancient myths collide with the modern world and time bends in unexpected ways
Immersed in the enchanting world of classical ballet during her school years at a specialised girls’ boarding school, Eleanor Dixon leapt into a thrilling professional dance career, across the European stage. Settling for several years in Athens, Greece, she not only founded and ran her own ballet school but also lent her skills as a volunteer veterinary nurse, fuelled by an insatiable love for animals.
Returning to England with her horse and cat, Eleanor now lives on a Shropshire smallholding with her husband, surrounded by an eclectic mix of farm animals and a perpetual stream of pets. However, it was during her Grecian escapades that she discovered her genuine passion for writing. First prize in an adult Fairy Story competition hosted by Writing Magazine marked the beginning of her literary journey, fuelled by the desire to bring magic and excitement to her readers.
Initially drawn to children’s literature upon her return to England, the demands of caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens, and a menagerie of pets, coupled with her global travels, temporarily shifted her focus. Yet, undeterred, she channelled her storytelling prowess into daily journals and lively travel blogs, weaving tales of her adventures.
Now fully immersed in the world of writing, “THE GRACEFUL GHOST” was her debut independently published sensation. The book, a dazzling reflection of her ballet-boarding school and teenage escapades, shot to fame with a prestigious shortlisting for the UKSelfies21 Award. This success fuelled the birth of a captivating series, with “Ballet School Boys”, “Ballet School Rumours” and “Triple Trouble at Amberwood” continuing the mesmerising tales of resident ghosts, Grace and Rodney. The series has also received a further two awards from The Wishing Shelf.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Eleanor is also working on an epic six-book series titled “TALLY AND THE ANGEL.” Tally and her angel embark on jaw-dropping adventures from India to Canada’s North Yukon, Japan and now, Greece. Each book in the series is a thrilling tapestry, weaving in an extra story at the beginning of every chapter, unravelling the mysteries of mystical elements.
Driven by an unyielding perfectionism, Eleanor ensures the professional refinement of her works, subjecting them to thorough third-party editing and proofreading before they grace the printed page. Eleanor Dixon has won multiple awards with her middle-grade stories.

We have enjoyed several of Oscar and Emmy’s adventures and this one has a little deeper meaning. I like that Terri has written a tale about animals and what it is to be prepared for them in an emergency situation. We are able to find many things in regard to preparation for humans but little for our furry friends. This fun tale is aimed at children aged 3 – 9 years and is told through the POV of kittens and children. It shares the importance of what is happening, being safe and prepared, having loving friends around you in a scary time and helping others. Adults could learn a thing or two as well. As always, the illustrations by Natalie Merheb are beautifully done and bring the story to life.

I absolutely love the Oscar and Emmy series. Sabol does such a great job of teaching pet responsibility in such a way that children, and adults alike, forget they are learning. This time Oscar and Emmy have to weather a hurricane and all of the scary things that come with that. Abby and Charlie quickly learn what it takes to not only keep themselves safe during severe weather but also their pets. Sabol does such a great job informing her readers with fantastic information from reliable sources. Reviewed by @meggs1717

Wonderful book! I loved everything about this book. There is so much to learn and many weird and fun facts. I like that on each animal the author tells what a group of that particular animal is, like who knew a group of giraffes is called a tower? So fun! Kids are already interested in animals and this book is great for them to learn about some of their favorites. I really appreciate all the work that went into all the research and facts on each animal in this book.

This is a cute little story about a little boy and how he recovers from a scraped knee. I really liked how the book interjected facts about the body and how healing occurs. I think many children would enjoy reading the cute story and finding out about how their bodies work. I recommend this book to anyone with children who have inquiring minds and love to learn more about their body and how it heals.

What happens when you scrape your knee? Find out in this story! I read this with my 7 year old son. I love how things are explained in a way that makes sense to kids. My son is homeschooled and this year for science we were working on the human body. This was a great addition to what we have been learning. It’s not only a fun story, but very informative. That is usually how Lois Wickstrom’s books go. You have fun, but you also learn. (And it’s not boring!)

The Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn is such a fun children’s story book with bright, colourful, and interesting pictures that drive the whole story. What is a Booper Snoot, you might wonder… Well, it is the ‘nose’ of a cute animal that you can’t help but want to gently tap your finger on. But here, Suzanna Lynn takes things several steps further, by making it an animal adventure- from A to Z… starting with Alpacas and ending with Zebra’s, there are a plethora of other animals ‘snoots’ to absorb our attention. From the well-known to the unusual, these alphabetical animals come with interesting facts that help educate us about all the different animals who ‘star’ in this book. So not only is it a fun book to read, but there is also an educational component too…. Now that’s what I call a win-win situation. What a fun, engaging, and cute little book this is. My grandson loved reading this with me and pointing out all the different animals he recognised, while finding a few new ones to add to his ‘favourites’ list. Looking forward to seeing what Suzanna Lynn does next. Happy Reading…

Shows that children are accepting of everyone and will help their friends learn new things and will always find a way to include those around them. The child-like illustrations are cute and a great addition to this story. Again Lois Wickstrom does a wonderful job telling a story that children will enjoy.

Dinopotamus Goes to School is a cute picture book for young readers. It is geared toward 4 to 8 year olds, and my 8 year old enjoyed reading it with me. Dino has been watching the kids play at school, and wants to participate, but he is worried he doesn’t fit in. He doesn’t look like the kids, or fit in their school, but he has fun playing and learning with them. It is a good story to teach inclusion and accepting others, even when they look different. The illustrations are fun and unique- looking like they are colored with crayon or pencil. Would be good in preschool or young elementary classrooms.

Loris is a foster child who is not sure who to trust, and prefers to stay to himself. When he comes to live with Cam, Inaya, and their mother, he struggles to adjust to a home life that is so different from the bad home life he is used to. Cam and Inaya try to involve Loris in the fundraiser run that they are organizing for a friend, but he doesn’t feel safe joining in until Cam is being bullied, and then he stands up for his new foster siblings. This book may not have the “warm fuzzies” from the beginning, but by the end, you will find yourself feeling for Loris and his journey. This is a great book for young kids, and for teaching children about foster children situations and the emotions that can come from it. I feel like this is also a good way to help people of any age to remember that you don’t know the full story of someone’s life, so being kind and being there for them, and not leaving them in their time of struggle, is often the most help you can give them.

This is one of the cutest alphabet books I’ve seen. Not only are we met with the most adorable boopable snoots (that you most definitely can boop on each page), we are given a plethora of information about each animal. I loved the colorfulness of the book along with the realness of it. Lynn packed in so much information for each animal but don’t let that overwhelm you. You could easily skip over that information for younger readers/listeners while the older readers/listeners can definitely learn from the amount of information she includes. This is a must have for animal lovers. Reviewed by @meggs1717
