Publisher's Summary:

A stunning debut about a magician's apprentice and a one-winged princess who must vanquish the mechanical monsters that stalk the streets and threaten the faerie kingdom.

Aspiring inventor and magician's apprentice Felix Carmer III would rather be tinkering with his latest experiments than sawing girls in half onstage, but with Antoine the Amazifier's show a tomato's throw away from going under, Carmer is determined to win the cash prize in the biggest magic competition in Skemantis. When fate throws Carmer across the path of fiery, flightless faerie princess Grit (do not call her Grettifrida), they strike a deal. If Carmer will help Grit investigate a string of faerie disappearances, she'll use her very real magic to give his mechanical illusions a much-needed boost against the competition. But Carmer and Grit soon discover they're not the only duo trying to pair magic with machine - and the combination can be deadly.

In this story, perfect for fans of the Lockwood & Co and Wildwood series, Sarah Jean Horwitz takes listeners on a thrilling journey through a magical wooded fairyland and steampunk streets where terrifying automata cats lurk in the shadows and a mad scientist's newest mechanical invention might be more menace than miracle.

needs a new narrator

the narrator was very boring and sort of irritating. she had no emotion and sounded like a robot. it took away from the overall feel of the detailed and gripping story.

Read by a robot?

The story is read by a narrator who could be mistaken for a robot. The worst audio book performance I've suffered through.

The tale is worthwhile as a description of what this horrible battle looked like from a young girl's perspective. No glory or embellishment - just the awfulness of war brought to her doorstep in a formerly peaceful small town.

Publisher's Summary:

Every family has its secrets.

Summer, 1966: For 13-year-old Gus LeGarde, summertime always means Loon Harbor, his grandparents' idyllic fishing resort on Great Pond. The season is a grand tradition of swimming, boating, and new adventures with his best friends, twins Siegfried and Elsbeth. But this summer, everything changes when a new lodge down the shore threatens the resort - and triggers a chain of events that will transform Gus and his friends forever.

Customers are leaving Loon Harbor in droves for The Seven Whistles, owned by the wealthy LaFontaines. The Baton Rouge family arrives with better amenities and a much larger staff - among them Wilhelmina "Willy" DuPont, a young black girl whose family works for the LaFontaines. Gus and the twins immediately bring Willy into their circle - but their friendship is soon challenged when events at The Seven Whistles take a terrifying turn.

A mysterious figure haunts the windows of women and young ladies at both camps, escalating from peeper to dangerous stalker. Then the LaFontaines' spoiled and demanding daughter goes missing - and Willy's innocent older brother is arrested.

Gus soon discovers that dark secrets lurk beneath the surface of the LaFontaine family, and the stakes are higher than ever imagined as they race to exonerate Willy's brother and find the real perpetrator - before he finds them.

Members Reviews:

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!

This was a slow story at first , but it picked up in the end . I ENJOYED THIS BOOK SO MUCH

Rather a different sort of mystery.

I'm not sure quite what I expected this book to be, but I found it a rather surprising sort of read. For one thing, there are only two human characters for most of the story, and secondly, the house, Brightwood Hall, is such an integral part of the story that it almost feels like a character itself. Daisy's mother, Caroline Fitzjohn is the first person we meet in the story, just as she and her family set off on their yacht. But Caroline leaves to ship to go looking for her doll's lost shoe and thus is the only family member to survive a terrible accident. Unfortunately, the trauma of losing her whole family leads Caroline to start hoarding things in what she calls "day boxes". Each day box contains miscellaneous items that represent the events of the day. The problem is that over the years, Caroline accumulates thousands of these boxes and ends up having major shelving installed throughout the mansion.

Daisy, of course, grows up surrounded by her mother's boxes and her hoarding of food and other supplies, so none of it strikes her as unusual, not at first anyway. But Daisy has never left Brightwood Hall, so the outside world is unknown to her except for what she has read about in her studies with her mother. When her mother leaves to go to town one day and doesn't return, Daisy is left to care for herself and wonder what happened to her. But her rather unusual friends, a rat named Tar, and a ghostly, imaginary explorer girl named Frank, help her cope. But when a stranger shows up who seems to know the place, but who is surprised to see her, Daisy's feelings of unease grow. Daisy's suspicions grow bigger as it becomes evident that this man has a rather uncomfortable connection to her mother. When Daisy is forced to confront the man her life really, truly becomes endangered.

This is definitely one of the most unusual thriller/mysteries that I've read for the middle grade crowd. Maybe because the only real help Daisy has is an imaginary/ghost girl who comes and goes at awkward moments.

I loved this start to what seems to be a great series!!

Werewolf Weekend is the story is how a secret comes out at the worst possible time! Emma is twelve years old and so excited to spend the weekend at her best friend, Samantha's house but with a newly found notebook that seems to have a mind of it's own, nothing is gonna go right. With Samantha's two cousins also staying over and with a full moon on Saturday night, Emma notices that the cousins are being a little too weird but Samantha doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary. It all leads to a full moon and secrets coming out about the notebook and what the cousins are really hiding in a shocking ending that will leave you howling for more!

I really enjoyed this book and I think it would do really well for kids! For me, it's almost like a Goosebumps Series from R.L. Stine and you can't go wrong with a book like that!! It would be interesting to see where this series is going since we are left with a page or two of what is to come in the future and to me it looks to be a great series that will have kids scrambling to get their hands on!

Thank You to B.A. Frade for starting a series that reminds me books I used to read from my childhood!!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the Publisher!

A fun read- especially during homeschooling!

When I received this book, I just knew it had to be one of those books I read with my son. He's not in to horror, but spooky stories are a thing for him too. Heck, he read and played the Five Nights of Freddy thing before I knew of it!

So we decided to write this review together. We began Wednesday, Sept. 8 and finished it a few days later! It was such a fun ride, we couldn't stop reading! For the first time, since fifth grade, he was more eager to read a book than I was! He said it was more than funny, excitable and so interesting, WE finished it in four days! The only reason we didn't finish it sooner is because it's a book we're reading for school.

When my boy is happy and excited to read, I feel I've accomplished a great deal. Last year, we read some pretty cool books, but this one is number one so far! Check out this cool read. I don't know when the second book will be released, but the epilogue already has us hungry for more!

The story is about a girl who find a book that's totally meant for her. Meaning, the book wanted her to find it. But what she doesn't realize is, there's a plan with her name written all over it, and it tells her.

Title: Between Worlds

Publisher's Summary:

Immersive augmented reality brings this action-packed fantasy to life.

The town of Eden Grove has a legend: In the center of a pine forest there is an aspen grove, and in the center of the aspen grove is an ancient, magnificent tree. A tree that grants wishes.

Mayberry and Marshall have heard the stories about the Wishing Tree, but they know nothing like that could really exist near their dreary town. Misunderstood and restless, the teenagers wish for a lot of things, including being on another planet altogether. Somewhere with magic and adventure - someplace where they can be heroes.

And then the unlikeliest thing happens: On a hike through the forest, they find the Wishing Tree. The pair make their wish, fall asleep...and wake up on Nith, a world that is exactly what they asked for. The alien landscape is beautiful, but it's also full of dangerous and fantastic creatures, and almost without exception the creatures are hungry. Soon Mayberry and Marshall learn two very important facts about their wish: first, that magic comes at a very steep cost; second, that they can be heroes only if they can survive. The journey that follows will test the limits of their courage and strength...and change them in ways they haven't begun to imagine.

This epic work brings fantasy to life, first by inviting listeners into another world, then by using cutting-edge augmented reality technology to bring the world alive in interactive 3D.

I love how books are starting to incorporate unique ideas to ...

Between Worlds is a middle grade adventure story which features AR technology throughout the book. You can download an app that works with the book, which brings the pages alive. I love how books are starting to incorporate unique ideas to make reading a whole other experience. But as much as I do love technology, I think for the most part reading should just be reading without extra bells and whistles because thereâs nothing better than an imagination plus a good book. I guess I feel like instead of enchancing it, it takes away from the reading experience for readers who may get distracted easily such as young readers. Even though thatâs just my opinion, I really think kids will love it to pieces. I showed my young daughter and she was so fascinated by the concept.

Anyway, Mayberry and Marshall are two teens who end up stumbling upon a wishing tree in an area called Mystery Forest. There is an aspen groove which the local town council named Mystery Forest. Since so many people get lost there you gotta have a permit to get in. After falling asleep under the wishing tree, they wake up in a magical world occupied with creatures. The thing I loved most about this book is the world. The world is what makes adventure stories so fun! It was really fast paced (once it really got going) and it ended up being such a quick and fun read. I did like the writing style, but I feel like since the main characters were teens the writing was a bit too simple.

As far as the characters, I loved that they were just simply average. A lot of times with middle grade or ya, you get characters who are perfect (but they just donât realize it if you know what I mean). However, Mayberry and Marshall were just two normal teens who had a hard time fitting in with the rest of the crowd. I think they are very relatable! Ultimately, I really enjoyed Between Worlds but it didnât blow me away or anything.

But who is the Administrator? What is the ultimate goal? And who will get sacrificed to reach the endgame?

Members Reviews:

I Enjoyed This!!!

I started listening this morning and just couldn't stop until I finished just now. The story had me on my toes guessing what would come next all the time and Skyler Morgan's voice is lovely. Soothing yet simulating enough to make sure I didn't got to sleep. He modulated and changed his voice well too.

I didn't see the end coming at all. Wham and it was in my face. Even more so I think because I was colouring and had no idea how much of the book was left.

I recommend it if you're into sc-fi and AI.

And if you are like me a noob to audiobooks, Skyler Morgan's voice is an excellent introduction.

Great book!

This story was great, perfect for when you don't have too much time on hand to invest into listening but still want an in depth read. Narrator was fantastic as well!
