Full of Adventure

Joe Devlin: At The Enemyâs Hand is the fourth book in the series, I found it to start off a bit slow, but most books do in my opinion. However, it does not take long before the action picks up and the reader is taken on a journey with many twist and turns. My daughter who is not much of a reader can not put these books down. In fact, she is currently rereading this book now, and still is fully engaged in it. The story ends leaving the reader to wonder what will happen next to Joe and his friends. The reader is left on a cliffhanger of wonder and intrigue.

Members Reviews:

Excellent

Absolutely awesome, I am more than impressed! I read this with my nephew, who is admittedly a slow reader and has trouble become immersed into stories, and I must say that I am very surprised by how well received it has been so far. The plot itself is creative, unique, and expressed through a great writing style. I do think that it would maybe benefit from some illustrations but I still canât help but give this book 5 stars simply due to the fact that my nephew enjoyed it so much. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future releases by the author.

WOW!! What an amazing fast paced action story!

I really liked all the action-packed and was hard to set it down! atheist boys sure have been very busy protecting Mega City as super heroes! I would like to then recommend this for five stars and for those 6-14 years old. I received this ebook for free and in return, here now is my honest review. Great job Carlos R.! By Angela

Great story well suited to the elementary school-aged reader

Two friends become superheroes just before going off to college. Chris and Sean are caught up in the middle of a tornado that gives them superhuman powers. Although told in third-person point of view, the characters engage in a lot of playful banter.

It is an enjoyable and short read that young readers will enjoy and wish to continue with in subsequent adventures as this is the start of a series. If I can offer any criticisms, I felt like a few illustrations here and there might have been a nice addition.

Title: History for Kids: A History of Ancient Athens for Children

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Kenneth Ray

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-11-17

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Profiles some of the most famous Athenians, including Pericles, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and more.

Includes a Table of Contents.

"We are children of the Greeks." - Alexander the Great

In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. This concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end.

Dominated to this day by the sprawling white marble complex of the Acropolis, Athens is a city which is immensely and rightly proud of its past. For a period of roughly three centuries, the polis of Athens stood, if not in a position of unchallenged supremacy among the cities of Hellas, then at the very least among its three most important polities. Its fledgling Empire, though small by the standards later set by Alexander or the Romans, or even by those of its ancient enemy Persia, nonetheless encompassed cities as far afield as Asia Minor and Southern Italy, a remarkable fact considering such expansion was achieved by the inhabitants of a single city and its immediate surroundings, rather than by an entire nation.

In virtually all fields of human endeavor Athens was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but entirely relevant to this day.

kids say this is a good book

as a homeschool mom i liked this book: short and to the point. it was written at an elementary age interest level and reading level. the kids liked it and enjoyed the pictures.

Wet your appetite

Good starting point on who some of the people where but would love some examples or titles. My daughter needs to tie who to what so that's not helpful very but gets you wanting for more

A History of Athens

This book is intended for children but is perfectly suitable for anyone wishing to know about the Greek city of Athens.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-28-17

Publisher: A Checkered Mind Productions

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Young Martin is your average nine-year-old boy, just one who happens to frequent graveyards, and reads books about spells and monsters. He happens upon one such spell book and finds a spell that allows him to bring back the dead, and the one he brings back is one Young Miss Victoria Blackwell. Miss Blackwell had no real friends to speak of when she was alive, so she had to make ones out of her own imagination. The problem was no one else could see them. With Martin's Book of the Occult though, that was a problem of the past. There just so happened to be a spell capable of making her friends visible to the rest of the world. It also just so happened that her friends are real monsters with particular peculiarities.

A new problem arises when Miss Blackwell's now visible friends are set loose on the town one Halloween night, causing all sorts of trouble for Martin and Victoria. Written by K. N. Parker, author of The Death of Death, The Deceased Miss Blackwell and Her Not-So-Imaginary Friends is a macabre children's tale about true friendship, which, unlike people, never dies. For ages nine and up.

Members Reviews:

One of my favorite Halloween reads.

The author sent me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

A young boy has some strange likes. He prefers cemeteries and monsters to other things that the typical 9 year old boys like. As Halloween draws near, he checks out a book of magic to get some ideas for costumes. What he gets, is a book on how to raise the dead and other strange things. Of course, things get out of hand.

This book is intended for children 8 and up. But I feel it will appeal to people of all ages. It is my new favorite children's Halloween book. Of course, it can be read at any time of the year, but I can see it being a Halloween tradition.

The story has that perfect blend of humor and the macabre that makes a great Halloween story. While there are plenty of creepy things, nothing is too scary for kids. The writing is almost lyrical which makes it a pleasure to read.

The author also illustrated the story. He says he was influenced by the artist, John Kenn Mortensen. The drawings also reminded me of the art of Edward Gorey and Gahan Wilson. The illustrations were perfect for the story.

I highly recommend this for kids and adults that like a touch of creepy without the gore. Fans of the artists mentioned will enjoy the book for the illustrations if nothing else.

I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of ...

I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this utterly bewitching book, and I feel so lucky that I did. K.N. Parker has an imagination to rival the most creative authors out there, a fact I knew after reading The Death of Death a couple of years ago. The story alone for the Deceased Miss Blackwell is enchanting all by itself, but add to that the absolutely gorgeous and creepy illustrations, and you have a book for the ages. I had heard that Mr Parker had had this tale in his mind for years, but lacked an illustrator. That strikes me as oddly fortuitous, because his own drawings are spot-on and lovely. I can see this being the first of many elementary aged, illustrated, scary, deliciously macabre tales. A whole set! There's no one else out there that I know of doing this, and I just know there is a market for it.

Beautiful

I loved this book though it was hard to read in my older kindle.

This is a fascinating mystery of an amphibian, the golden frog, who was quickly disappearing from Panama ...

Traditionally the Panamanian golden frog has been a symbol of good fortune in Panama. People "believed the frogs would give their loved ones good luck in the afterlife" and buried them with golden replicas of the frog. To this day open-air markets often feature golden frog statues, but in the wild they are alarmingly sparse. In 1996 they mysteriously started to disappear from the landscape in large numbers. Karen Lips, a biologist, was startled when she went in search of them in the Fortuna Forest Reserve in Chiriqui Province. The frogs she discovered were far from healthy. In fact, most of them were dead or dying. Instead of researching frogs, her focus shifted and she tried "to figure out what could be killing them."

Lips began to speculate on the cause of their deaths. The one thing they all seemed to have in common was that most of they "had patches of peeling skin." Could the golden frogs be dying from a change of habitat, pollution, climate change, or some mysterious disease? Most of her theories seemed to hit a dead end, but she did know that when the golden frogs skin was examined under a microscope "strange sacs" could be seen. Lips relentlessly struggled to find the answer to the strange demise of the golden frog. She started to look in another direction and enlisted the aid of Joyce Loncore, an aquatic specialist who could possibly hold the key to the mystery. Could they come up with some answers or would the special Panamanian golden frog face extinction?

This is a fascinating mystery of an amphibian, the golden frog, who was quickly disappearing from Panama. This story will not only capture the interest of the young reader, but of anyone interested in biological or scientific mysteries. The way it was told generated some amount of tension as the scientists scrambled to figure out what was happening. When the answer to the golden frog's deaths was found, problems still remained. How could they implement and integrate their knowledge into a workable solution? No spoilers here, but reader is in for a real treat with this mystery. The layout of the book, along with the stunning photographs, was a real draw. In the back of the book is an author's note, information on how you can help frogs, an index, a glossary, and additional recommended book and website resources to explore. This is definitely one mystery you may wish to add to your shelves!

Intriguing science mystery

The golden frog found in Panama is a national symbol of that country, but in 1996, scientists discovered something disturbing. The once prolific golden frog population was decreasing at an alarming rate.
