Book 2 of the Loki series. The adventure and hilarity continue as we see Loki continuing to struggle to be good. This picks right up where the last one left off and would make a great recommendation for those mid-grade readers, and boys in particular as there is much fart talk. Aside from that the…

Book 5 of the Time Quintet. This is the final book in the series and this time we follow the daughter of Meg Murry. This was a little darker and yet still a great read. She is whisked back 3000 years. Dealing with the people of their valley. We have betrayal and human sacrifice and…

Book 4 of the Time Quintet series. This time we follow the twins on an adventure. This book could have easily been read as a standalone novel, but complements the series nicely. What a wonderful reimagining of the Noah’s Arc story. Great detail and an odd cast as we go back to the time of…

Book 3 of the Time Quintet series. The story continues only this time Charles Wallace takes center stage. This book has less similarities with the previous book and to me is a great precursor to the TV show Quantum Leap. That said, it is engaging and reads more like a series of short stories with…

Book 1 of the Loki series. This is a middle grade book. This is a fun silly book about Loki and Thor masquerading as young human children. It is quick, fun, and silly. Great for a reluctant reader. Introduce this to a young child to help instill a love of reading.

Book 97 of the Boxcar Children. This mystery is a criminal who is posing as a ghost. Can the kids figure out the ghost. Some elements are fairly obvious to older readers, but nailing down the suspects gets tricky. Can the kids discover the true motive in time? Give this one a shot and you’ll…

Book 2 of the Time Quintet series. This was a furthering of the storyline and yet a story unto itself. We have a few returning characters and some wholly new ones. The acceptable then is so different than the acceptable now. I think those items are what dates this book. Aside from that the series…

Book 1 of the Time Quintet. This classic had underpinnings of novels by C. S. Lewis and leaves you with a wonderful comparisons that can be had as you enjoy this beautifully written story. That’s several times banned book is very worth the read. Completely enjoyable for both YA and author alike. Pick this one…

Book 3 of Kit the Wizard. This is the conclusion so far to the series. That said I am shocked that this is not a 30 book series. This series feels like it is just taking off. I will just move into her Loki series as I have throughly enjoyed this series. If you are…
