  • Myth-Chief

    Book 18 of the Myth Adventures and this was a great book. We have Skeeve and Aahz competing against each other. This was a fun and exciting interwoven storyline that wraps up nicely. How great a theme of how we lose focus on what is really important as we get wrapped up in competition? It…

  • Myth-Gotten Gains

    Book 17 was f the Myth Adventures. This one focuses on Aahz. Skeeve does not appear at all in this one, but that doesn’t make it less of an enjoying adventure nor do the smiles stop as he even gets in a reference to Mary Tyler Moore. Genius. As always a strong moral to the…

  • Tales from Earthsea

    Book 5 of the Earthsea series. This is a series of 5 short stories along with a lengthy diatribe on the history of Earthsea. The stories were fun and exactly what you’ve come to expect. Overall it deepens our knowledge in preparation for the concluding book in the series. I am excited to see how…

  • Path of Vengeance

    Book 5 of Star Wars: High Republic Era. We continue the battle with the Nameless killing Jedis. We get to see the nameless’ home planet and we begin to see the direction the threat to the universe is going to go. Lots of foreshadowing in this one. This isn’t the first series I’ve read by…

  • Stinetinglers 2

    Book 2 of these Horror Short Stories. These are fun, quick reads, with cute little hidden morals. Fun reads for those Goosebumps fans looking for more from the great author. The fun part of both books so far is that each story is given with its inspiration. Great for young readers as they are not…

  • The Creature in Ogopogo Lake

    Book 108 of the Boxcar Children. This book is a crime of ethics and betrayal. In a simple level I feel this book can help children understand that surrounding yourself with the right people is so important. As always the series continues to sure show the benefits of hard work. In the end, never judge…

    Book 1 of this short story horror series for middle grade. fun quick reads sure to hold those short attention span. Monsters, monsters, and more monsters. That and some creepy bugs. A fun read and suitable for young mid grade readers.

  • The Centennial Tournament

    Book 3 of Infinite Realms. The series continues to evolve and grow stronger as we follow Ryun and Zack. I enjoyed several points in this book. Especially poniente was that we tend to not try to continue to better ourselves and push ourselves as we grow older. It is interesting to see as the new…

  • Cataclysm

    Book 4 of Star Wars: High Republic. This episode is as filled with action and death as the previous books. Don’t get too close to the Jedi, many die and die often. That said, this fourth book in the series could be a conclusion of sorts and I loved the way it wrapped up. Excellent…

  • Class Dis-Mythed

    Book 16 of the Myth Adventures series. Juxtaposed the last novel, this one is Skeeve central. This time Skeeve is the teacher. This wonderful story about teamwork among the hilarity leaves this as a classic. I loved seeing Skeeve much more powerful and not just the screw up sidekick. Even though it was his own…
