This middle grade book highlights bullying and the hard times associated with public schools. Not much has changed and there are definite personalities you can identify that makes this just as pertinente today as the day it was written. I love how it swung around and suddenly the person going along with the bully gets…

Book 3 of Piggy. This was an interesting end to the series, considering there is one more book. There are a few unanswered questions, but the main one is answered in this one. This has lots of adventure and is a very mild horror book. This video game based series leaves a lot of explanation…

Book 12 of the Zom-B series. This is the end of the series and is well done with its final twists. I am going to say that I preferred this ending to Cirque. Overall, lots of action and craziness and lies, lots, and truths revealed. A great and wonderful conclusion. The theme did persist and…

This is another short story collection by Terry Pratchett. I do not know if it was my mood or what but this one did not tickle me the same way as others I have read. Three stories are good, but lacked the deeper wit that I enjoy from most of his writings. That said, if…

This odd book was interesting. A fun exciting running around being chased and lost. This was a fun book that leaves you wondering what someone would do to create realism. And leaves you wondering how did it end. With a horror writer you are welcome to assume the worst. Overall a decent read, just not…

This is one of those rare books that becomes a strong recommend to all. This book has so many great concepts and I enjoyed it throughout. I love the mathematical approach to life the universe and everything. While not a religious book per se, there are definite strong beliefs put forward and a beautiful way…

Book 114 of the Boxcar Children series. This one is all about life in the ranch. Horse ranch to be specific. When horses start disappearing the Alden kids find themselves in another mystery. Fun and adventure follow with a lot of cool details, like another use for goldfish. A great read for readers of all…

This is book 1 of the Phule’s Company series and the second series I am reading through by Robert Asprin. His writing style is wonderful. This book is a strong opener giving us several characters we are excited for. This book is themed for treating people how you want them to be and watch them…

Book 11 of Zom-B. This book is a great builder for the final book. Loose ends are getting tied up and all the pieces are on the board. The final scenes are looming. That said there was still plenty of action and giving of the finger. Still not appropriate for younger or sensitive readers. Overall…

Book 12 of How to Train Your Dragon. This is the conclusion to the series and wraps up very well. This concludes in a way to wrap up the various storylines and still allow it to be considered historical fiction. The entire series is age appropriate and leaves us with a smile and knowing that…
