The author continues the Silverglen adventure in another epic fantasy tome. The world building was substantial and I really enjoyed getting to know Roana and Iniko through this storyline. The scale to which this story transcends is one I believe that will appeal to readers of most genres, even if fantasy might not be a reader’s first pick. Beautiful detail, complete character development, good pacing, just extremely well written. Loved every page and hope to continue reading more from this author and of this series.

Isle of Wingsis thecompanionnovelto SilverglenbyE.A Burnett. It’s a great YA fantasy that’s full of magic, self-discovery, mystery, danger, good vs evil, action, adventure, sorceress, and more. Again, Ms. Burnett has proved to be a superb storyteller, created a beautiful and believable world in which she sets her captivating story, adding skilfully crafted characters who lead us on an enthralling journey of discovery and adventure. Roana wants to escape the pain of her past- with her sights set on the Isle of Wings- but she will discover that isn’t going to be quite so easy- she’s about to be tested far more than she ever has before. The stakes are high, and she has a lot to lose. Iniko proves to be a valuable companion, and an asset to her quest. But in the end there can be only one choice- and either way her life will never be the same. Fascinating!

I enjoyed this fantasy story. It is a story that is full of magic, fun characters and even some romance. This is a well developed story that has great details that make the story realistic. The characters are fun and entertaining. They bring the story to life and make the story easy to read. This is a story about Roana and her discovery of an egg that the sorceress has. What will happen when the sorceress realizes that the egg has been stolen and she wants it back. After Iniko meets Roana, he finds himself involved with her troubles. What will happen when the sorceress wants more than just her egg back? I enjoyed the characters in this story and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

Persecuted for the death of her family, nineteen-year-old Roana plans to escape the Isle of Wings, but the sorceress who controls everything on the island stops her. When Roana discovers that the sorceress has an egg of a powerful group of raptors, rescuing it becomes her priority. Despite depending on the help of annoyingly handsome Iniko to protect the egg, she refuses to abandon it, even if that means remaining on the island longer—and bringing down the sorceress’ wrath.
When Iniko meets impetuous Roana, her deep grief and anger compel him to expose a power he has always kept hidden. As he gets entangled in Roana’s trouble, he must rely even more on his ability to safeguard the future he has worked toward, while keeping his power a secret from the sorceress who would use him.
When Roana and Iniko realize the sorceress wants far more than the stolen egg, all who live on the island are endangered. But a long-repressed magic awakens in Roana, and she must choose whether to leave the islanders to the sorceress’s mercy, or save them—and be bound to the island forever.
Burnett grew up devouring works by Garth Nix, Robin McKinley, and Philip Pullman, among many other authors. She began her first novel in grade-school, with her youngest sister as her primary audience, and hasn’t stopped writing since.
Today, Burnett lives outside of Columbus, Ohio with her husband, two Labradors, two corn snakes, and two little people. When she isn’t writing, reading, or caring for her boys, she is often out in nature or enjoying her husband’s delicious cooking.

This book is a young adult romance set in 1990s Italy. There is a lot of teenage drama and angst, which I don’t really like to be perfectly honest, because it just seems really superficial, like they’re too young, and there just wasn’t really much plot. I appreciated a lot of what the main character Leda feels in that it speaks to the realities of life as a teenage girl and the mess of relationships and is thus insightful. At the same time, the pacing is a bit off and the relationship between Leda and her mother Starry isn’t explored as much as I would have liked. Nevertheless, I enjoyed following Leda’s journey, having read Book #2.

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (Italian Teens novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman
5-Stars
This was such an exciting read following Leda in her young teenage years. My hurt for her at the start of the book with the bullying but I felt like she handled it well. Leda is such an amazing girl to follow. I love her character. This book was a delightful read and a change from my regular genre. I highly recommend this book as well as the other books featuring Leda.

Amman – Review by Madison Degraffenreid
Forget Nico is a coming of age love story of Leda, a tom boyish girl who is desperately in love with a cool boy at school. I did not know that the story is not the first in the series, so it took me a while to adjust to the pace of the book and the characters. The book predominantly deals with all the elements of adolescence, crushes, embarrassments, successes and failures. The teens think they have figured it out all, but how they react to everything happening around them and their imperfections is very insightful. This is typically recommended for teenagers, who read books of the type of Adrian Mole. The use of Italian words in the expression and conversation adds a flavor to the book. It’s a very fast read, but though they say this book is a standalone. I felt this book picks up from it’s prequels. The personality of the lead character is already well established, and this book defines her loyalty to someone whom she had liked a lot, and now he is in trouble and she is struggling with her emotions to believe it or not. Overall, a fast pace light read !

Amman – Review by Anantha Rusum
Forget Nico by Gaia B. Amman was a really good novel. It grabbed me, but it did take a little bit to hold my attention. I’m sure it’s just because the ages of the characters, but all the characters seemed very whiny to me. Great characters though! Well mostly great, minus the cheaters. They all had big personalities, which I loved! This is the second novel I’ve read from the Amman and I can’t wait to read more from the Italian series!

This author has an extraordinary way with words. She continues to captivate me with the stories she creates and this one is no different. In Forget Nico, we are taken through the life of a teenager, whether that’s drama, romance, ups and downs. You really get to see the characters grow and evolve throughout the story. This author creates brilliant characters and storylines every time, she brings you along on the journey and makes you feel as though you are there alongside the characters living out their story! Each book written by this author I get hooked by, and I’m so glad that I got the chance to read this one as well. Don’t miss out on this read!

Amman – Review by Chantelle Smith
The unthinkable happens in this Italian high school…
Is Nico truly responsible?
Leda cannot believe the evidence piling against her ex-best friend. He grew apart from her into a brooding, shady player, but she thought she could see through his loneliness.
Now they are putting him away.
Was she wrong? Should she fight for him?
Teen angst, Italian gangs, and feelings so strong they will claw your heart out. You will love this romantic tale of redemption because it’s based on a true story brimming with Italian culture.

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is the first book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. I was taken with this book the moment I laid eyes on the beautiful cover- and as I had read several of Ms. Hawks’ books before, and had really enjoyed them, getting this one was a no-brainer. It is a YA mystery, with is a paranormal elements, action, adventure, humour, fun, and a bit of whimsy. The story was intriguing, even though it was a little predictable in parts, and even though it is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it. The characters are well developed, fully realised, quirky, and entirely interesting. This is a very original, fun, quick, and easy read- it has a pretty fast pace and a smooth flow- which enabled me to devour the book very quickly. Ms. Hawks has always intrigued me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia, but particularly Gumshoe- who really stole the show. My favourite of Ms. Hawks’ books, so far!

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1) By Laura Hawks
Gumshoe And the Mysterious Mushrooms is book one in the Gumshoe Mysteries by Laura Hawks. Ok so I struggled a little with this book, but it was by no fault of the author as this book has been written perfectly. While this is not for me the younger audience are absolutely going to love it, they will also love the pace this book moves at. The book is centred around a 15-year-old girl by the name of Mia Thomas. Not only does Mia’s teacher need to speak to her parents, her father gets arrested and she makes friends with a cat named Gumshoe. If that isn’t enough, she has the knack of talking to and understanding cats. Mia and Gumshoe join forces to try and work out what on earth is going on with her family. Will they find out what is behind her fathers arrest? And what lays before them while they try and work out the issues.

This book was great! It was about a 15 year old named Mia and her familiar Gumshoe. Mia was a fantastic MC! She is bright and spunky and kind of adorable. Gumshoe is something else that’s for sure. He is a loud, coffee drinking, obnoxious cat that helps Mia solve mysteries! They have to careful though, because the case they’re on right now might be Mia’s last one if she doesn’t watch her back! She might be able to solve the mystery BUT being able to stay alive is going to be hard… This one was a great teen read and I would like to read more by this author!

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms by Laura Hawks is a great YA book. I am always looking for YA authors as they tend to write the best stories. Hawks does an exceptional job of grabbing and keeping my attention throughout the entire story. I cannot wait for the rest of the books in the series. Mia Thomas is having one heck of a start to her 15th year of life, the teacher needs to talk to her parents, her father gets arrested, and as if that is not enough she has an amazing ability to talk to cats. She befriends a cat, who promptly tell her his name is Gumshoe. Gumshoe and Mia try to figure out what is happening with her family. Just watch the relationship between Gumshoe and Mia. Will they find out what is going on or will there be more problems?

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is the first novel in the Gumshoe Mystery series by Laura Hawks. This is my first novel by this author.
On her 15th birthday, she sets out to clear her family name after her father is arrested. Her partner is a cat named Gumshoe, who is her familiar.
This was a really good novel and very refreshing. I haven’t read much in a while so I was really enjoying this funny YA cozy mystery. Gumshoe had me laughing often while reading. He is a cat that drinks coffee and wine and tries to help Mia with the investigation. What secrets will the two uncover?
From the title, one isn’t sure what to expect but this is cute read and I am excited for the next book.

It is an original storyline that will get you turning those pages having to find out how it ends. I went in blind and I must say I was pleasantly surprised and the crazy talking cat with attitude just made the story. I need me one of those. I laughed found the entire thing so refreshing. Well done Laura, you have a winner on your hands.
Mia’s life is turned upside down in one night. Everything her family had dreamed of was about to be taken away and a scaredy cat has turned up on her doorstep.

5-Stars
Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms was a creative and fascinating paranormal mystery novel featuring a young girl and her familiar. When Mia turns fifteen she gains an interesting ability and meets her familiar, a Siamese cat named Gumshoe. Together they plan to help save her families business when someone tampers with the food leading to serious poisoning cases allover town.
I loved the scenery and character development in this novel. Mia and Gumshoe made an excellent pair and I loved learning tidbits of Gumshoe’s past. I also felt that the storyline was easy to follow and that it would be appropriate for a young adult audience. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I highly recommend this book. I absolutely loved it.

This book feels like Teen fiction and cozy mystery wrapped into one. Gumshoe puts me in mind of a mix of Salem and Columbo. Mia has a whole truckload of unpleasant dumped on her for her birthday but girl doesn’t miss a beat. She knows she is in one of the roughest of situations she’ll probably ever face, but she’s not going to let a trivial thing like that stop her from figuring out why her world has been turned upside down. She’ll clear her family’s name and that’s all there is to it. I’m thrilled that this is book one because that means more!

Gumshoe and The Mysterious Mushrooms by Laura Hawks is the first book in the Gumshoe Mysteries Series. This is a fun and entertaining book with brilliant characters and a strong story line. I was amazed by how quick I read this book. From the moment I started reading I just got lost in the story that the author was creating. Mia and Gumshoe were such a brilliant combination. If I could have a Gumshoe in my life I definitely would! This is a strong start to a new series. Full of mystery and the perfect example of what a YA novel should be. You definitely need to give this book a try!

I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book but the cover and synopsis drew me in and then while reading it had me hooked and I literally read this in one sitting.
It was quick, easy to read because the words flowed perfectly, clean, suspenseful, fun, and was just what I was looking for at the time. I am impressed with how this book was written, I loved everything about it and actually am figuring out how many copies I need to buy for a few of my grandchildren who I believe would love this as much as I did.
I fell in love with Gumshoe and can not wait to read more of this series. Mia was awesome and not your normal 15 year old, and I loved the ladies …Eve (Mia’s Mom), Donna, Marion, and Kelly…This was just an all around great book and I can’t recommend it enough especially if you like a good mystery.
