Book 76 of the Boxcar Children series. This was a fun one as it was a mystery where the perpetrator actually went after the Alden children to some extent. Some of the stuff done could have injured people, albeit it is kept lighthearted. Good strong mystery with environmental undertones. Good demonstration of getting involved.

Book 8 of the Wings of Fire. This one was a great adventure following the skywing Peril. It was fun to have an in-depth view of this strange dragon and it really made the story great. I love when things seem their very best right before they become horrible. What a great way to create…

Book 52 of the Animorphs. This book talks to where your allegiances lie are they with the place you were born or with the place you live in. I liked that. Of course this is a huge step in the war effort. We are now two books from the end and getting nearer to the…

Book 51 books of the Animorphs. What do you expect this close to the end of the series? The stakes are high and the battle is now on. What a great way to end the series having both sides using the morphing technology. Only three books left in the series. Buckle up it looks like…

Book 50 of the Animorphs. This was a lot more dark than previous releases as the Animorphs prepare for the endgame. I am not sure if this was a vague attempt to say everyone regardless of disability has worth, but I think it fails its point. Still recommend you read it.

This series of short stories by Stephen King does explore some of the darker sides of human fears. He shows his mastery of ending the tale leaving you to really decide the final outcome but with enough direction to have a good feel of where it is going. Several of these stories I think could…

Book 75 of the Boxcar Children series. Such industry it must be the Alden children starting their own business. Crazy things are happening though and who are the suspects? Why just everyone. Not to worry, they’ll get to the bottom of it. Recommended read.

What happens when you begin to emaciate despite eating like normal. Oh how we can shift the blame. This book is very insightful as to how we vilify others. And how we can do this to those that are closest to us. As disturbing as this book is it definitely speaks to a dark part…

Book 74 of the Boxcar Children Mystery series. Not just a great fun story but also another way to find a suspect. It was a fun way to learn about endangered animals. Lots of strange goings on at the zoo and many suspects but the crimes are strange leaving clues that lead us in a…

Book 73 of the Boxcar Children series. What a fun heartwarming mystery where we can cheer for a Russian. So much hate in the world today, it is great to see and cheer for others. Lots of suspects him this one up not leaving us with just one perpetrator. Enjoy this one.
