My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I truly enjoyed this imaginative story as we follow Isaac on his captivating adventures. When we find ourselves drudging our way through the everyday mundane, life will unexpectedly surprise us. Isaac finds this out first hand when he is dragged into his favorite childhood story. He finds himself on a series of adventures with danger and excitement around every corner.

Reading this book was a much need splash of color and adventure to help me get through my own “everyday mundane”.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I came into this series on Book 2 and was mildly concerned I should have started with the first book. But the problem was, once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. Thankfully, my concerns were moot because I was able to jump right into the Brightley sisters world!

Arabella, the loyal, responsible, and shy sister is steadfast in her resolve to aid her ailing father, looking after her younger sister, and doing her best to keep her family’s name and future in order. Despite being deceived by her former fiancé, thinking he was dead when in fact he was very much alive and hiding his own dark secrets, Bella finds the courage and strength to help him too. She is a damn saint at times! She is pulled into so many different directions you can’t help but feel sorry for her and yet envy her strength and tenacity at the same time. Thomas is still in love with Bella but continues to hide his secrets from her. Together they face two foes who threaten all they hold dear. Will Bella and Thomas save their families and save their love? Read this book to find out!

The Sneaky Kitten (Invisible Magic Wand Book 4) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Monique Espitia

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Sneaky Kitten by Lois Wickstrom was a cute book. I found myself a little confused as I followed the story, however, the illustrations helped to get an idea of where the storyline was heading. Caspian and his grandfather use some “secret” magic powers “hot chocolate socks?” to attempt to help a kitten stuck in the tree. I was confused when they named the kitten “Stuck” and then talked about the kitten being “stuck.” Had to reread that portion twice. Eventually they realize that “Stuck” is not actually “stuck” (see what I mean) and they get a nice little surprise in the end when “Stuck” races away on a frisbee spaceship thingamajig. It’s a cute concept but definitely leaves one scratching their head after the first read. It gets easier the more you read it though.

And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This is my first read for this author. I was captivated from the start. Like a spider weaving an intricate web, I found myself tangled into Susie’s story and all the mysteries she was shrouded in. I could not imagine being a mother and trying to hunt down facts and truths for your child’s loss. Like Catherine, I would not stop until I found the truth. And I would seek it even if it ripped my heart to shreds.

Read this book! You won’t regret it!

The most beautiful children’s book ever! The illustrations are stunning! I absolutely loved it. I read it to my little ones. I even got a little teary eyed while reading it to them. I loved the diversity in the book and will definitely share this lovely story with all the kids in the family.
