This is a blog reviewing the latest book I have read along with the books I have self-published. Please feel free to follow along with my reading / writing journey.

Book 158 of the Boxcar Children series. This time the two younger Aldens are in a bake-off, but not to worry their older siblings are there to solve the mystery when strange things begin happening. Another case of a person doing the wrong thing for what they see a the right reason.

Book 148 of the Boxcar Children series. I liked this change of pace where evidence interpretation creates a situation where people begin to create a problem where there isn’t one. Not that there isn’t a bad guy in this one, but the main focus is on environmental conservation and being a good citizen of earth.…

Book 14 of The Good Guys. This one takes us back to the area near the beginning. As usual Montana is in a no win situation. Not to worry he is ready to do what he does with extreme violence. Overall a fun read and some new friends/pets. Warning: adult language and content.

Book 13 of the Good Guys. Who would have thought that a jaunt up to the capital could be so eventful. This book is focused on the politics and slime that are part of it. Overall a lot of exciting parts. A lot of killing. And a lot of Montana being uncomfortable. Warning: Adult language…

Book 155 of the Boxcar Children series. This time the Aldens are doing what they do best, hard work. Helping out in antique shop the children learn a lot about antiques and a little about family trees and family history. This one is a great book to get young readers thinking about who they are…

Book 156 of the Boxcar Children series. This time it is Halloween and it kicks is in an escape room. However, things take a scary turn when people start getting frightened away for the escape room. Intermixed in the mystery is a corn maze that is strangely similar to the escape room. Not to worry,…

Book 151 of the Boxcar Children series. This book was more treasure hunt than mystery, but fun with a happy ending. Fun comparison of what life was like 100 years ago. The hunt takes them all over, town and ends with an interesting treasure. A fun read.

Book 159 of the Boxcar Children series. This time it is out to the farm to learn all about beekeeping and solve another mystery. This explains the basics of beekeeping, including safety equipment, hive management, and swarms. Overall a wonderful introduction to beekeeping and a fun little mystery to keep the interest.

Book 145 of the Boxcar Children series. This one takes us to another town and another relative and this one is running for mayor. Of course there is something strange going on a the Alden kids are there to figure out what is going on. The thing that I love that is addressed in this…

Book 12 of The Good Guys. If you can’t beat them just get swallowed and fight your way out. Montana in the desert / Wild West style. This was a fun change of pace where not everyone the city is in danger and the whole pressures of tiling are on the back burner. This style…
