Amese of Animalis (The Borosa Legacy Book #1) by MJ Murray – Review by Angela Hayes

Amese of Animalis (Borosa Legacy, #1)Amese of Animalis by M.J. Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Amese of Animalis is the first book in the new Borosa Legacy series by M.J. Murray. It is a fun children’s fantasy story (aimed at children aged 10 – 14 years) — full of magic, elemental guardians who balance life in the universe, action, adventure, fate/destiny, mystery, drama, tension, danger, vivid world-building, agendas, lessons, and high stakes.
Amese is 13 years old and embarks on a bit of an epic adventure as she steps up to become a guardian. The weight of the responsibility weighs on her as she needs to refine and master her skills/powers if she is to perform her duties effectively. But maybe not everyone wants to see her succeed, so in order to get through it all she must depend on a most unlikely ally. Add in plenty of imaginative and creative touches, original storyline, and great characters/s- and the story takes a captivating turn.
What a great start to the series, making it my favourite of Ms. Murray’s books (so far) — and I can’t wait to see where we go from here.
Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, M.J. Murray!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

 

Queen of the Fairies by Lois Wickstrom is an illustrated children’s fairy fantasy story with a bit of a twist. The illustrations that accompany the story are very cute, bright, colourful, interesting, and engaging.
The way the story started seemed a little abrupt and confusing, but by the time the story finished, I understood more what/why the author did it that way.
With fairies, a story to be written, mystery, and more- made for a cute read.
Happy Reading…

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chris and the Pirates is the second book in The Adventures of Kris series by Art Blegen. Kris’s love of reading and vivid imagination means that she gets lost in her books and the stories they contain, getting pulled into all the adventures and experiencing everything alongside the ‘characters’. This time she is set for a bit of a pirate adventure, with islands, treasure, action, friendships, overcoming challenges, dealing with fear, being brave, a rescue mission, agendas, and dramatic developments.
This is a intriguing children’s chapter book, that is aimed at children aged 10- 14 years. It was quite a fun read, but also has some lessons/facts to learn along the way. With sailing ships and sailors, to pirates, games, new friendships, songs, talking animals (Sammy the snake, Tammy the turtle, Jack the macaw, Michael the monkey king, and Stevie the sloth), beaches, jungle, swimming, dolphins, vivid world-building, and plenty of imagination, as well as a few small illustrations to head up each chapter, made this a very engaging story.
Even though it is the second book in the series, it could be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing anything, as from what I can gather, each book is a ‘self-contained’ adventure starring Kris. But, having said that I am curious to see what she gets up to in the other books, so I will be going back and reading the first book before continuing on with the series.
The series consists of (so far):
-Kris & The Missing Prince (Book #1)
-Kris & The Pirates (Book #2)
-Kris and The Cowboys (releasing soon)

A fun adventure.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Art Blegen!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is the eighth book in the Oscar and Emmy series by Terri Sabol. It is a uplifting children’s story that is woven around some really cute illustrations.
Charlie and Abby (twins) have been volunteering at an animal shelter and discuss the possibility of fostering animals with their mother. The family discusses the responsibilities that fostering would bring, and then the opportunity to foster (3) 4 day-old kittens comes along and they embrace the chance to help. We follow along with the twins, as well as Oscar and Emmy (the family cats) as they help care for the kittens. Fostering the kittens from 4 days old to 12/13 weeks when they are put up for adoption. Along the way, we also learn about kitten care, reasons you should foster, facts about fostering/volunteering, and much more. I thought it was a really heartwarming story, especially when they find the perfect fur-ever families for the kittens at the end. So sweet.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Terri Sabol!

Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series 2)Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate by M.J. Murray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate is the 2nd book in the Youth Sleuths series, but the first one I ready. Dylan has recently gotten his junior detective kit, and is ready to solve another mystery. He shows up for baseball practice, and discovers someone stole the bases! He and his sister Emily, and their dog set out to solve the mystery of the missing bases!
Dylan is a really good big brother to Emily. Not sure the ages, but old enough to explore and go to the park on their own with their dog. The bullies of the book are 4th graders, so i imagine younger than that. The book has underlying lessons for the readers, when Emily learns she can do new things, as long as she doesn’t give up. It is a cute beginner chapter book. There are 10 short chapters, making it good for middle to late elementary school. My 2nd grader didn’t have enough attention span, but I enjoyed it. The accompanying illustrations are good and assist the story- helping new readers visualize the characters and the events.

The ending was cute with the writer’s surprise.

Code DogCode Dog by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Timmy, Arthur and Beth are tasked with finding a time capsule that is almost 200 years old by their old favourite teacher, Mrs. Vance. The capsule originally was supposed to be dug up 100 years ago. When the mayor at that time announced it would continue to be buried for another 100 years, Mrs. Vance’s grandmother had it dug up from its original place and buried it elsewhere. Now all they have to go by is an old map and the fading memory of Mrs. Vance. If they find the capsule within a certain time limit, they will get $1000.

Timmy agrees to look after Mrs. Vances dog, Cody, while she is in the hospital. Little did they know that Cody would be a great help to the mission. She can speak in morse code using her tail, she can track, she can even tell you your fortune. This dog can do it all! The trio plus Cody run around town finding clues and codes that seem to bring them around in circles but they are determined. Will the group find the capsule on time?

I have read some of Lois Wickstroms other books geared towards children and every time I find myself wishing they were around when I was a kid. The topics and plots they write are so fun and original and even in my 30s I find myself enjoying most of what Lois writes.

I absolutely loved Cody! She sounded like a giant sweetheart who was too intelligent for her own good. I would have been all for having my fortune told by that cutie!

This would be perfect to read to your kids as the chapters are decently short, or would be a great read for kids just getting into chapter books. Kris likes to get lost in a good book, and this time she goes on a grand adventure with a pirate crew, but when everyone gets captured by bad pirates, she has to swiftly figure out how to save everyone. She meets many different animals along the way, and even learns some things about each one. This story really shows how we can go on so many adventures just by reading.

I have read other books by this author that seem well done but for me this one does not qualify. It is an okay read but I wanted more information. The illustrations are loose but the cover is well done and also what drew me to the story

Charlie and Abby learn that there is a need for families to foster kittens at their local shelter. They ask their mom for help, and along with Oscar and Emmy, the family helps to get the kittens off to a great start. Charlie and Abby are responsible for feedings and teaching the kittens to use the litter box. Oscar and Emmy help support Peach, Pear, and Plum as they navigate the world at large.

This is a great book to read with youngsters who may be interested in having a kitten. It could help them realize the responsibilities that come with pet ownership, while also encouraging a fostering situation to begin with to make sure that the placement is a good fit for both parties. This book also briefly discusses spaying/neutering.

It is time for Turtle Fay to travel to warmer waters and invites along Cray Crab. What fun to have is a Kindness Parade before departure. As Fay and Cray start their journey…they meet and help new friends along the way.

Wonderful story and I love all the adventures that Turtle Fay with Cray Crab and friends have. This story made me smile from ear to ear.

The story takes us from 3-4 days old to 11 weeks, after their spay & neuter surgery, when they are adopted. I really enjoy reading these stories because the other does such a nice job of explaining cat care in a way that children can understand. My grandson always loves to have these books read to him. The story is well-written and easy for kids to follow. The pictures are colorful and can hold attention.
