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 4 of the Time Quintet series. This time we follow the twins on an adventure. This book could have easily been read as a standalone novel, but complements the series nicely. What a wonderful reimagining of the Noah’s Arc story. Great detail and an odd cast as we go back to the time of…

Book 3 of the Time Quintet series. The story continues only this time Charles Wallace takes center stage. This book has less similarities with the previous book and to me is a great precursor to the TV show Quantum Leap. That said, it is engaging and reads more like a series of short stories with…

Book 2 of the Young Wizards series. This was a high stakes fun read appropriate for even the bottom end of YA. In this ocean tale we get to see how these wizards save the world from an underwater perspective. The world is about to end again and it is looking like self sacrifice is…

Book 1 of the Loki series. This is a middle grade book. This is a fun silly book about Loki and Thor masquerading as young human children. It is quick, fun, and silly. Great for a reluctant reader. Introduce this to a young child to help instill a love of reading.

Book 97 of the Boxcar Children. This mystery is a criminal who is posing as a ghost. Can the kids figure out the ghost. Some elements are fairly obvious to older readers, but nailing down the suspects gets tricky. Can the kids discover the true motive in time? Give this one a shot and you’ll…

Book 2 of the Time Quintet series. This was a furthering of the storyline and yet a story unto itself. We have a few returning characters and some wholly new ones. The acceptable then is so different than the acceptable now. I think those items are what dates this book. Aside from that the series…

Book 1 of the Time Quintet. This classic had underpinnings of novels by C. S. Lewis and leaves you with a wonderful comparisons that can be had as you enjoy this beautifully written story. That’s several times banned book is very worth the read. Completely enjoyable for both YA and author alike. Pick this one…

Book 3 of Kit the Wizard. This is the conclusion so far to the series. That said I am shocked that this is not a 30 book series. This series feels like it is just taking off. I will just move into her Loki series as I have throughly enjoyed this series. If you are…

Book 2 of the Kit the Wizard series. This is the second book and continues in stride with where the last one left off. Still strong middle grade and continues to be action packed that will help draw in those reluctant readers. As we follow the story we begin to see what problems the world…

Book 1 of The Dragon in the Library series. This is a fun middle grade book to help encourage adventurous spirits to read. It is a simple text and very appropriate for middle school age. This series so far would be perfect for Magic Treehouse fans and by size would be very appropriate for slow…
