  • The Revelation

    Book 45 of Animorphs. This was a pivotal book. It is obvious the series is winding down. Lots of action and some huge movements in the plot. Crazy to think of the series coming to an end after this long. If you’ve been reading along, this is a can’t miss part of the story. Still…

  • Super Powereds Year 1

    This was a great read. A wonderful engaging plot line. Relatable characters. Harry Patter meets the X-Men. Unfortunately, it will be one I would rarely recommend mostly due to advocating underage drinking and crass language. Mr. Hayes is a wonderful writer, but I would only recommend to a mature audience due to language alone. Sadly…

  • Travels with Charley

    This is a novel that will take you through the US during the 1960s. This is a work of fiction or is it? Steinbeck is such an amazing writer he leaves you feeling like you’ve been there. Charley breaks up the story and yet moves the story along. Even the truck feels like a character…

  • The Black Pearl Mystery

    Boxcar Children book 64. This should be the Alden’s go to Hawaii. It is amazing that bad people are everywhere, even in paradise. The only part I did not care for in this book is that there really was no repercussion for evil heartless conglomerate. Overall a good read with numerous bad people.

  • Hunt for the Mad Wolf’s Daughter

    Book 2 of the Mad Wolf’s Daughter. This was an interesting follow up to the series. This felt more like it should have just been a continuation of the first book as it did not seem to have a plot of its own. Aside from that, well worth the read to finish the story but…

  • The Mad Wolf’s Daughter

    This was a very fun adventure. A great example of the hero’s journey. I love that the main character is the youngest girl. Can she put aside her feelings and help the enemy to get her family back? Can this young girl actually succeed? I would recommend this little read for those loving fast paced…

  • The Mystery at Peacock Hall

    Book 63 of the Boxcar Children. Peacock Hall is in trouble. Tax trouble and it will be taken by the county if the Aldens cannot figure out the secret treasure of Peacock Hall. Shady figures are everywhere offering money to buy the property and tear it down. Benny to the rescue. This is a fun…

  • The Mystery of the Lake Monster

    Book 62 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun mystery. Is there really a monster out in that lake? All seems skeptical until they find a footprint. Suddenly, the footprint is gone. It is going to take the Alden children to sort this one out. A quick fun read and now a classic.

  • The Element of Fire

    I have heard great things about this author but not about this book. I could not get into this book. The characters are flat uninteresting and the story line frankly put me to sleep. As such, I do not recommend this book, but I will try her other series and see if I can deal…

  • Isr Kale’s Journal

    Book 4 of the Alchemist series. Yet some more unbelievable escapes and ways that Tailyn escapes when put into all kinds of terrible spaces. This is a super fun read. I recommend to anyone that likes the RPGLit genera to read books by Vasily Mahanenko as he does a great job creating believable worlds. Highly…
