Book 109 of Boxcar Children series. This was a fun mystery and maybe it is just the van but totally felt like Scooby-Doo. This was a criminal one with the authorities involved. Lots of clues but it seemed the criminal was a little obvious. Aside from that there were still a couple of red herrings…

Book 4 of the Infinite Realm series. We finally get to see the empire of the 3rd iteration. This was a fun read and went over a lot of items. I loved the false ending and all the other introspection that it covers. It feels like we have made some epic steps. I am excited…

Book 7 of the Realm Between. This adventure deepens our understanding and we finally are moving forward toward the end. Secrets are revealed and new friends are made. This series is fun but definitely mature audiences are advised. Both course language and adult themes are prevalent through the book and series. That said, there is…

Book 6 in the Earthsea series. This book is more of a diatribe than adventure novel. It is more like reminisces. It is like an extension of the end of Tales from Earthsea. I had a hard time keeping interested and found myself mentally roaming. Of the series this was the hard one for me…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
