Book 50 in the Boxcar Children series. This was a good one. Almost to the brink of danger but still kept very low key for those young readers. Oh what a different world. I could only imagine people now a days telling young kids, “Oh no problem go explore those underground caves.” Just interesting how…

This was a middle eastern collection of fables. They were great. I had even heard of some of them before. Like many great fables, these had a lot of wisdom in them. I highly recommend the read.

Book 51 of the Boxcar Children. This book was full of twists. Wonderfully put together. Loved the guy in the disguise. Loved the intention. This book was a strong representation of the mystery genera. I liked it.

Book 11 of the Series of Unfortunate Events. This was another in the series that takes us deeper into the misfortune. This was great as it had some fantastic twists. I am excited for the final two books in the series. For such a short book, this felt like a lot was covered.

I have been a huge fan of John C Maxwell for years. This book is no exception to his amazing works. From the very beginning they are not just thoughtful or inspiring by all very positive. If you’re looking for a book to read to help you become a better reader, look no further.

Book 49 of the Boxcar Children. This time it is personal. Someone has stolen the boxcar and the Aldens need to figure out who. Loved this one. Lots of red herrings and a perfect conclusion leads to a great story and this one nailed it. This is in the top 10 for the series and…
