The author perfectly captures the bittersweet nature of these transitions—military family– mixing feelings of sadness and loss with hope and acceptance.
One of the standout features of this book is its ability to honor the emotions of military children, validating their experiences while also helping them recognize that their feelings are normal and shared by many. The narrative encourages young readers to find comfort in the fact that moving, while often difficult, can lead to new adventures and opportunities for growth.

One of the book’s most commendable aspects is its willingness to tackle complex emotions such as anxiety, sadness, and the excitement of new beginnings. The narrative encourages young readers to acknowledge their feelings while also highlighting the constructive nature of friendship as a source of comfort and strength. The way Grace learns to adapt to her new environment and make new friends beautifully illustrates that while change can be daunting, it can also lead to personal growth and discovery.
The illustrations, coupled with the engaging text, make the book suitable for children aged 7 to 10, capturing their attention and sparking their imaginations. The large print format further enhances accessibility for younger readers or those who may struggle with typical text sizes.

I Miss My Friend And That’s Okay: Axel’s Story is another heartwarming story, told from Axel’s perspective. Axel’s mum is a soldier in the army and their family moves around a lot. Due to this he misses his best friend Kerrington. Even though there are miles between them they keep in contact through writing letters to each other. I liked that the story is written in the format of letters. The colourful illustrations bring the story to life as Axel shares his new experiences with his best friend whilst learning it’s okay to miss them just as it is ok to make new friends as well. As with the first book, I Move A Lot and That’s Okay: Axel’s Story it was an interesting read and a valuable story for anyone moving at a young age.

This is a really cute story about a stuffed animal who gets separated from his boy and the adventures he has to get back to him. Kody wakes up on the airplane being carried but it’s not Axel who’s carrying him! How will Kody get back to Axel?! Perry-Knights does a wonderful job of showing children it’s okay to be scared and go through a gamut of emotions. I loved the creativity of this story and the wonderfully bright illustrations. And it’s always fun to think of what our stuffed animals do when we aren’t around 😉 Reviewed by @meggs1717

Kody gets left on the plane and goes on a mighty adventure. He shares how you can have an adventure also. I love this little story. It’s entertaining and teaches a really fun lesson. I loved the little lesson on counting to 10 in Italian at the end. Always dream. It has bright pictures and a story that will keep the kids engaged. It was a winner in my house.

It’s a wonderful story that helps explain transitions and how they go. There are bright illustrations that will hold onto the child’s attention. This is really a neat series of books that helps kids understand a little about being a military family and having to move around a lot. A winner in our house.

This is the absolute most informative book I have ever read. I did not know much about nuclear weapons when I started this book and I picked it up because it sounded intriguing. This delivers on being a crash course into nuclear power. I was concerned at first about reading this because I was a little worried that it was going to be heavy or hard on technical terms. However, that is not the case. It is actually an easy read that gave me so much information. I feel much more knowledgeable about the history of nuclear weapons and I definitely feel like I have a much better understanding of them. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is interested in finding out more about nuclear weapons. It was so well written and easy to read!

Woah! Not at all my typical read but I have learned so very much. This was very thorough and thought provoking. The history is truly mind blowing and quite honestly kind of scary.

I’ve read other informational type reads, where parts of it lag on and focus on stating facts. This one was pretty fast paced and interesting in making connections to different weapons and its conflicts along the way. It also brings into account the different political leaders involved within these conflicts as well as the different weaponry. I can tell you that I do not have any military or enforcement type background but even without the knowledge and probably just some history knowledge, I found this to be a very interesting read. This is a great source for those doing research on certain time periods or writing their books and need supported content.

While non-fiction isn’t my go-to genre, this book was absolutely astounding! I wasn’t sure what to expect going into it, so keeping an open mind helped. I feel like I gained a substantial amount of knowledge from the way this author presented information. One of the reasons I don’t read non-fiction as much is because it can feel like information overload. This author did amazing in presenting a great amount of knowledge, but tying other things in so that it isn’t dry. I really enjoyed learning about the history and science behind nuclear weapons. It definitely gives you plenty to think about! I would recommend this book to everyone, even if it doesn’t seem like your cup of tea!

The development of nuclear warfare has been ongoing for over a century now and it doesn’t show any sign of stopping, so when that reality hits, it is best to at least have a heads up on what exactly it entails. This is where this book comes in, it has a breakdown of parts ranging from the scientific history, the weapons themselves, as well as the differences between the approaches of different countries as this development occured, but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart or easily perturbed due to the subject matter within.
In part one, is the outline of the who, what, where and how of the steps taken to identify and understand nuclear weapons and exactly what happens inside them.
Part two speaks about the reactions of the different countries and their races to become the top of the nuclear weapons food chain, including the threat level each country has to the others.
Part three talks about the weapons in more detail, how they work and who has control over them, as well as when and how they are deployed.
Part four discusses the affects of the aftermath of these weapons and what the resulting radiation can do to the human body and the natural world.
Finally, part five discussed the future of this technology and what this means for the future generations as well as discussing some of the moral and ethical implications of what this might mean.
This is a work of non-fiction which is easy to understand, interesting to anyone, no matter what their level of prior knowledge is, as well as being straight forward, to the point and a great introduction to the subject with plenty of further reading cited at the end.

Without being too heavy on the scientific details, this book was a good read. The author provided enough details for me to feel good about my so-called intelligence. At the same time, I was not overwhelmed by the scientific details. This book is very timely, what with the popular movie based on the same subject area having hit the theaters recently. I feel confident that, having read this piece, I can contribute to intelligent discourse around me.

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics is a fast-paced, insightful, and detailed look into nuclear weapons. The author does a fantastic job of describing what a nuclear weapon is, the science behind them, and a bit of the history of their development. From the basic science of what an atom is and how it became weaponized to the politics involved in the use of nuclear weapons and the dangers of them. The book is well written, easy to read, and informative. It is written in a manner that is easy to follow and could easily be understood by anyone. It is a real eye opener of the dangers of nuclear weapons and how easily they could be used to eradicate life as we know it. It was humbling, terrifying, sobering, and thought provoking. Not a book that I would typically read but I am glad that I did.

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics by Paul McCarthy. This is not my typical read but it is a very interesting read. It is a Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons all they way. It explains in great detail what exactly a nuclear weapon is and how they are used. It is written to where even I could understand all of it. Knowing exactly what and how these Nuclear Weapons could be used are equal parts terrifying and cool. The examples they used such as dropping a bomb on New York and the damage it could do was absolutely horrifying. When I was a kid I was terrified of Nuclear Weapons and now we don’t think twice, in reality we should really be terrified now. The power of these weapons is incredible and very much a possibility. I feel so much more knowledgeable on the powers of Nuclear Weapons due to this book. Great job Paul McCarthy!

This book was completely out of my norm; however, I really did enjoy it. McCarthy is NOT KIDDING when he says it’s a “crash course on nuclear weapons.” But don’t let that intimidate you…this was very easy to read and understand and it moves fairly quickly so you don’t lose interest. On a deeper level, the book does look at moral issues and there is some discussion there. If you are interested in nuclear history, politics, war, etc. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book is a brilliant overview of nuclear weapons and the impact they have had over the course of history. It is and insightful and interesting book that offers a great perspective. This isn’t usually the type of book that I would go for, but something about it caught my eye and I couldn’t wait to delve into it. The author has done a great job of splitting the subject up into manageable sections. The initial section was invaluable with the physics refresher it offered. I think it made the whole book much more understandable and easy to digest. This was a different book to my normal go to but I would definitely recommend it.

This was an interesting and thought provoking read into the history of nuclear weapons, how they are made, who’s idea were they, and what happens when they fell into the wrong hands. It is an eye opening read about a subject we hear about but don’t really pay attention to. This book had made me realise that we do need to pay attention. It is terrifying to think of the power and how much damage could be causes and innocent people lives lost from the production and use of nuclear weapons. The author does an incredible job of making the material in the book book informative and engaging and it is written in a way that makes the reader feel good as it’s easy to understand. It is a scary but interesting topic and makes you realise just how insignificant the human race are. We are literally creating the weapons that could one day end up the destroying us.

4 Stars The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics by Paul McCarthy
The Hand of God is history suspense that teaches us the history of nuclear weapons and how they can be used. I was fascinated by the cover but a little hesitant about reading as nuclear weapons isn’t really my thing. But I’m glad I did. It’s a fast-paced eye opener and a bit scary at the same time. Its thought provoking and really makes you think. I know know and understand more about nuclear weapons and the power behind them and of course the political side. I’m glad I jumped into this not knowing what exactly to expect because I learned so much. I recommend reading this fast-paced book. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This book is a casual exploration into nuclear weapons and its history. McCarthy provides a captivating historical insight and easy to understand language all to understand. From the Manhattan project to Broken arrows to Doomday to the future. The reader can read all about nuclear progress. I found the history fascinating as I wondered how nuclear fusion was invented and by whom. This was definitely an interesting read!
