Not my favourite but not bad

I downloaded this book as I had a long journey to make and often find it is easier to lose myself in a world created for children. In that respect it sort of worked. The performer was really good at giving each person a voice, and the concept was interesting. The story I found in paces a bit weak and others a bit bizarre/creepy not really what I expected. Mostly though it was light hearted and fun and I am clearly not the intended audience so shouldn't judge to harshly. It was imagining it from the intended audience that made me consider parts of it wierd - I think it loses sight of its audience at times.

Overall OK, enjoyed most of it most of the time.

Members Reviews:

A fantastic read for both teens and adults

If you could sum up A Measure of Disorder in three words, what would they be?

extraordinary, unexpected, brilliant

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved how good natured Jenni was and how she was something special from the start but there are so many amazing characters it is hard to just pick one.

Which character as performed by Christy Lynn was your favorite?

I loved how she performed Crank. Her talent for voices was well played in this book. I also thought she did an excellent job with the adults. You could really tell who was who.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

They thought they were on a field trip until everything changed.

Any additional comments?

This book is brilliant on so many levels. The world building alone is smart and well thought out. The most extraordinary thing that stuck out for me was Alan Tuckers use of not only kids as heroes but adults. So often in middle-grade and early YA, we see books that pull the kids away from adults to have the adventures but here we have them all playing a part. I loved the opposition set up as the children choose their different paths. There is also an underlying theme that is rewarding all on its own. I would recommend this book to both teens and adults who enjoy a great read with a toe in both the real world and the fantastic. I look forward to delving into the rest of series.

Title: V Is for Vampire

Subtitle: A Vampire Island Story

Narrator: Cassandra Morris

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

In this third installment of the Vampire Island series, oldest sister Lexie Livingstone takes on ninth-grade politics - and Old World pixies!

As the first vampire ever to run for class president, Lexie has a chance to shed her otherworldly image and get in with the in-crowd. If only it weren't for those annoying pixies! Blix and Mitzi are the Livingstones' houseguests, and they're wreaking havoc. Meanwhile, siblings Maddy and Hudson are having some problems of their own. There's never a dull moment in the lives of these vegetarian vampires!

Members Reviews:

Love these characters

Lexi decides to run for class president of the freshman class. While she was ahead of Maddy and Hudson in her quest for humanness, she uses her vampire habits in her bid for election. She also upsets the love of her young life as she runs for office. Meanwhile Maddy and Hudson make Halloween last the whole month of October and Maddy once again uses her hunting skills to take down another baddie. And during all this, they host a couple of pixies.

I love this family. They are funny. Lexi wises up the Mina and decides to strike out on her own. Maddy is wild. Nothing evil gets past her. She is still up to her finding and routing evil out of the neighborhood. Hudson still continues his environment protection and gets Maddy to protect him. She does have a way about her.

I wish this were not the last book in the series. I would love to see these characters again. I have a few questions I want answered.

Everyone should have a PHOLD...

The Livingstones are back for their third adventure. Where the first and second books (Vampire IslandandThe Knaveheart's Curse) focused primarily on Maddy and the dangers the family faces in being hybrids, this book deals more with Lexie and the challenges she faces in trying to regain her humanity.

There's some old world house guests to deal with. A new world neighbor with a rep for being a witch - so do the Livingstones have enough vampy senses left to figure out her real story? And a high school class election that will test Lexie in ways that go way beyond high school politics.

In some ways this book is better than the previous two. In not spending too much time focusing on bad guys and letting us see the real world challenges the family is facing, it's a much funner book, yet still the kids manage to get into a bit of danger (of course). But in this story, while there IS a bad guy, the real threats are the family themselves - can they really overcome their vampire nature and live as humans?

And yes, there are unfinished story lines and so there is, of course, room for more books. And so assuming there are others, I'll be back for them. They're fun, fast reads, and the series just keeps getting better. Just don't go into them expecting the typical vampire story. As I said in my review of the last book - they're more like a kooky 70s sitcom family. So long as you know this and don't expect traditional vampires (not even by YA book standards), you'll probably find this series a lot of fun.

LOVE THIS BOOK!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! This time around it wasn't for me but my daughter and she was so thrilled to get it since it was a book we read together, she loves vampires and the overall way the story goes is hilarious....at least to my daughter & I it is! It's worth reading in my opinion.

Publisher's Summary:

Being a vegan vampire with no social graces hasn't exactly made Maddy popular with other 11-year-olds. But the day she befriends Dakota Underhill changes everything, even if Dakota only promises to be her friend for...well, for that day. Because when the leader of the Knavehearts - the most vicious of the Old World vampires - comes to town, Maddy realizes she's going to need help.

She's not strong enough to face the villain alone, and there's something special about Dakota that might make her the perfect person to team up with....

Members Reviews:

They're back, but are they cursed?

It didn't hit me until after I wrote my review of the first book,Vampire Island, but the Livingstones are totally a 70s sitcom family like The Munsters or the Adaams Family. Yes, I know they're supposed to be fruit-bat vegetarian hybrid humans, but going into this series that's really what you need to know. They're like those kooky families, but while dealing with the tough enough issues of trying to fit in they also have to deal with real dangers connected to the nature of being who they are.

In this book that danger happens to be a "curse" that could hit a bit too close to home. Along the way Maddy is up to her old tricks, well new ones really as there are no vampire neighbors left to stalk this time around. Lexie, she's managed to end up even more tragic than usual. Hudson, well he's here, but well he's just Hudson. Pete finally gets to show off his true self. And much like the first book it feels as though the major dramatic showdown scene is rushed through, still it sort of works as these crazy creatures would probably do things rather quickly even if it makes the book's big scene feel a little anticlimactic. That said, I liked it enough that I'm onto the next.

Great book!

Another great series of books for my kids (ages 8 and 9). I love any book that encourages them to read!

Again, granddaughter loves this series!!

Great price, speedy delivery. Can't beat Amazon when you're looking for that certain book!

This is the best

pick me up at 9:00 are you going to pick me up at 9:00 promos okay bye bye and night at work so ready when I get the chance you can see

Fun!

Maddy and her family are hybrid vampire-fruit bats who are trying to become fully human and have moved to the New World. Unfortunately the 9th Knaveheart has followed them and is trying to find its heir so it can retire. Maddy must be on her toes so the 9th Knaveheart does not succeed.

This was fun. It can be read as a standalone. I loved Maddy. She is everything a pre-teen should be including being a vampire. She is sarcastic, snarky, and funny. She still holds onto some of the vampire ways but is trying to fit in. Her family is different. I enjoyed her brother. The two are what siblings should be.

The story was fun as Maddy met some otherworldly creatures. It is up to her to save the day and protect the Knaveheart heir from coming to fruition. I have got to find the first book in the series and I hope there are more books to come.

There she makes a friend in an enigmatic Indian named Shawn, whose search for an ancient petroglyph intrigues her. And its there that the faint auras Blue has always noticed around people begin to grow brighter - and become something she learns to control, and to heal with.

But Mam begins to show signs of getting restless, and when the father who abandoned Blue suddenly shows up, the family - and the home - shes always wanted are threatened.

A walk back through childhood and the West

Dear fellow readers,

this book is everything I expected and then some, coming from someone whom I have known since I was five years old. Her painting and tapestries are as beautiful as her writing. She is not a person one meets everyday but is rather extraordinary...I couldn't put the book down either once I started the journey. The relationship with the animal world, the antelopes, the rocks, cliffs, trees, stones and mountains and spirit all around us,that is the person I know. It was always the mystic quest with her...

In our youth she awakened me to the world of light written of in this story of which I knew absolutely nothing...and it changed my life forever. I see her in both Mam and Blue. For as long as I have known Mackie Darge, she has always been about Feng Shui long before it became fashionable...for her it was always about place,she always had an enormous need to be living surrounded by rugged, stark breath taking natural beauty and oceans of silence and solitude...whether it was sitting upon a hillside as a child in Turkey alone watching camel caravans winding along like ants far below or on top a mountain in a stone house in Crete...Where she was and her surroundings always came first ahead of every other consideration...as if she were drawn herself to holy ground...she was always true to herself...after growing up abroad, she finally found a home back home in the USA as wild as Meteora or Bahmia or any other sacred place on earth in Wyoming and ceased her worldwide rambling to become a full fledged rancher, a Westerner like she'd lived their all her life and what came before was only half remembered day dreams of long ago...the undaunting spirit of Blue and the respect she had for her own childhood and unique talents is a reflection of the author and it has been my privilege to be her friend through most of my life...I know that this is a book I shall reread every few years using it like a yardstick to measure the size of my spirit at any point in time...it is both sweet and poignant, and it speaks of first love, the pain of broken family and loss and abandonement and then picking new meaningful relations besides the ones we are born with and recovery and healing...and things which to be human we have all experienced...great read, writing as beautiful as a landscape painting...

Brian H. Appleton

Lifting the Sky by Mackie d'Arge

Title: Sam Finch and the Zombie Hybrid

Subtitle: Sam Finch Series, Book 1

Author: J. W. Bouchard

Publisher's Summary:

Sam Finch is a frail but exceedingly intelligent boy whose lifelong aspiration has always been to attend the Dashelmore Warrior Training Academy. When Sam turns 15, his wish finally comes true. About to leave home for the first time, little does he know what is in store for him as he finds himself physically outmatched, falling in love with two different girls, and illegally learning to do magic on the side. And then there's his secondhand sword named Rusty, which seems to possess secret powers despite being far past its prime. But those are the least of Sam's worries after he soon discovers that there is something far more sinister on the horizon which threatens the existence of the entire world.

Members Reviews:

Three Stars

Good

Cheerful, Rambunctious Fun

This is mostly a friendship adventure tale and it seems to me that there's always room on the middle grade shelf for well done variations on the school-for-heroes genre.

Sam has made it into the King's training academy. He's poor and small, but doughty. He has an old rusty sword, but a good attitude. He picks up a funny and trusty fellow student pal and we're off to the races. Soon, he has a crush on a girl student with crazy skills, and then maybe a second crush on a girl who's training up on the magic side of the Academy. These crushes are charming and sort of puppyish, so this isn't a "romance" novel.

Rather, there may be a traitor around, odd happenings are afoot, and some questionable "accidents" have the Academy on edge. One student gets half-zombified, but that isn't really the heart of the book and this isn't at all a standard zombie-style adventure. Until the big action packed and suspenseful final chapters it's much more a comfy and agreeable school-daze sort of tale, as Sam tries to fit in and do well at the Academy.

As you might expect there are some big plot holes and gaps, but who cares? Aimed at middle grade readers, the book moves along briskly, introduces all sorts of interesting supporting characters, (teachers, students, villagers, villains), and gives us lots of scenes of student life at the Academy. There's only a little bit of the required bullying shtick and no mean-girl stuff, which is fine by me. The writing is smart and the humor is mild and good-natured. Sam is a decent, resourceful, and yet relateable hero who tries to do the right thing but is still basically a kid. The conversations among and between the kids are often smart and witty, with some nice dry and deadpan throwaways. This earnest but light-hearted tone carries throughout the book.

By the end we have a few untied threads left hanging, a solid team of friend heroes, and a promise of a second book that will tie up those final threads. The book struck me as good, solid and entertaining fun and a nice choice for a younger reader.

(Please note that I found this book a while ago while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

Sword and sorcery for youths

This was a well written tale that would be good for both teens and tweens. The characters, while falling into genre staples, are well developed. Sam, the hero, is likeable and for me, easy to connect with. I would recommend this book and I am looking forward to the next episode.
