I have not read any of these books, but was interested in what it had to say about this legendary folk hero. I enjoyed the content. Well written for a young reader to get an understanding of the history of our great country. Based on this book, I will read more of the “Who was…”…

Book 88 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun museum adventure. The only thing that was disturbing is how flippant the thief is after they are caught. Just like I figured I could make a few bucks. Outside of that it is a fun adventure and as always emphasizes the value of hard work.…

This was a good overall information about a lot of the deeper doctrine and myth busting some thoughts that others have. It is a short 43 page read and well worth the time when wanting to know more about this religion.

Book 1 of the Camelot Rising Trilogy. This was an interesting take on the King Arthur story. I was amazed at the excellent weaving of the old legend into this telling. It stays very vague and leaves a lot unanswered. I am hopping in the next two books that it becomes clearer. Aside from that…

This is the autobiography of Helen Keller. It is so interesting to see how her life moved from the desease that took her heating and sight to her rescue by Anne Sullivan. It shows the effect each of us can have on even what would seem to be a hopeless situation. I also was surprised…

As you might expect this book is a reversal of the well known Genesis story. Fun with biotech. Great character development and a good twist. Overall, felt a little rushed but a good reader in the YA space. I would recommend it.

Book 1 of the Troy Stark series. To start off with, I was disappointed in the character’s name. Too much it felt like the author was trying to work off the fame of Tony Stark. That aside it was a fun brutal thriller. Definitely not for people who are sensitive to violence. That said it…

Book 86 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun mystery that is very young kid friendly. Fun mountain adventure. There are two mysteries in this one and one is not resolved. It will be interesting if we come back to this venue. Overall, this is what we have come to expect and it is…

Book 15 of the Wings of Fire series. This was a brilliant conclusion to the series or at least the third arc of the series. The only thing I wish is that in the end the main bad guy would have had to suffer extreme pain as he was always avoiding it. Overall a great…

Book 14 of Wings of Fire. This is the big setup to the end of the series. But I love the character growth in Snowfall. It was a great look at the ice kingdom and a great message about allowing old traditions to hamper us moving forward. Overall, for the book right before a series…
