Members Reviews:

Magic, Mystery and Murder Most Foul!

The unlike duo of Goodly and Grave are back, and this time itâs murder! Yes, after just about surviving her first adventure, boot-girl Lucy is improving her magic and getting to know the magicians around her, while also investigating grave robberies, magical break-ins and murders most foul with the occasional help of her boss and mentor, Lord Grave.

The mystery is the main focus of the book this time, leaving the magic sadly a little more in the background. As Lucy is no longer a stranger to this world, she still feels a bit of wonder occasionally, but mostly sheâs exploring her own abilities and collecting clues. There is still plenty of magic to enjoy, so itâs still fun, but thereâs less everyday silliness of the sort that made me love the first book. Instead we learn a bit more about the bad magicians that Lord Grave and his friends are out to stop.

With more quirky illustrations from Becka Moor and the occasional fun newspaper article (complete with Flesh Eating Zombie theories), this is still an enjoyable, entertaining read thatâs perfect for lovers of both magic and mystery. If you liked the first adventure, youâll like this. I canât wait to see what Lucy tackles next.

Members Reviews:

The story moves so slow.

The story moves so slowly that I lost all interest in finishing the book and moved on.

Fantastic

I was a backer for the Kickstarter of this audiobook.

After having the pleasure of meeting Miss Russell, and listening to the audiobook of her Elite novel, I decided to back the Kickstarter and see what the end result was. The story is fantastic, with characters you root for and some great dramatic moments plus a couple of funny bits too. The narration is spot on, the varying voices really sell the performance and make the listen that much more enjoyable. This has been one of the few times backing a Kickstarter did not end up leaving me feel disappointed.

Title: Treasure Island

Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

Narrator: Iman

Format: Abridged

Length: 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-30-17

Publisher: EDCON Publishing Group, Inc.

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook is about the search for a treasure on a remote island. Theres plenty of rum, seaman talk, treasure maps, and intrigue in this seafaring adventure.

Members Reviews:

Classic, with interesting pictures.

Hardly needs me to rave about it, the classic pirate story. This edition has interesting illustrations by Mervyn Peake, the author of the "Gormenghast" trilogy. I would have preferred one with the N.C. Wyeth illustrations, but Peake definitely hits the mark on atmosphere. Decent hard cover, too.

All the ingredients, but this book does not work for me

Treasure, adventure, suspense, deceit, a charismatic bad guy, good guys on the run, history coming to life, threats everywhere, games of deadly hide-and-seek -- this book has everything!

I don't know why, though, but the book just left me feeling flat. I've read and enjoyed other classic kids and YA books such as "The Three Musketeers" and "Little Women", but this one was like a ride on a roller-coaster ... on a day when I'd rather be at the planetarium.

Treasure island

Fun story although very different from the movie I remember watching as a child. I did have to read some things twice as this was not a book I could read with distractions due to the dialogue. Overall. It was good an I am glad I read it.

My kids loved it

They. Ant really sit through listening to it being read to them seeing that it doesn't have pictures; but being able to read it and relate the story to them was a satisfying experience for us. Thank you Kindle

Not a good audio experience

Ordered as an audio book but had to listen to with the text to audio version which is mechanical and therefore difficult to listen to. If I did something wrong then I apologize for being technically inept. The book itself is a classic and I enjoyed the story very much, but it was painful to listen to without the correct tones and inflections.

Title: Hyacinth and the Secrets Beneath

Author: Jacob Sager Weinstein

Narrator: Jessica Almasy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-17

Publisher: Listening Library (Audio)

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

For fans of the Mapmakers trilogy and anyone who likes a little history along with their fantasy, here's a quirky new series!

Magic is real. History is a big, fat lie.

Before Hyacinth Hayward moves from Illinois to London, she reads up on the city's history. Too bad for her. Because the books are wrong. The truth is, London was built on magical rivers, and all the major events in its past have been about people trying to control the magic.

Hyacinth discovers this when her mom is kidnapped. In the chase to get her back, Hyacinth encounters a giant intelligent pig in a bathing suit, a boy with amnesia, an adorable tosher (whatever that is), a sarcastic old lady, and a very sketchy unicorn. Somehow Hyacinth has to figure out who to trust, so she can save her mom and, oh yeah, not cause a second Great Fire of London.

Members Reviews:

Kids loved this book

My voracious readers (10 and 8 years old) devoured this novel. They say itâs great! I cannot wait to have a turn. We are eager for the sequel.

Hyacinth and the Secrets Beneath is such a fun read! Young readers will be rooting for Hyacinth ...

Hyacinth and the Secrets Beneath is such a fun read! Young readers will be rooting for Hyacinth until the last page. A wonderful, witty debut filled with fascinating bits of history. It's London like you've never seen before.

Five Stars

Enchanting!

Magical Fun - but I still want answers

Okay, so, I have questions. Like, lots of questions. Weinstein answers nearly none of them over the course of Hyacinth's story, but I kind of don't care. There are indeed secrets beneath London. Hyacinth uncovers some, but there are certainly many more for her to unearth or bumble across or just plain get wrapped up in because Hyacinth and the Secrets Beneath is an introductory-ish book with spurts of backstory and character development, but almost no sensible answers. I kind of love it anyway. It's snarky fun at times and romping hilarity during other parts, plus, there is a boar named Oaroboarus and I can totally respect that. Had there been more explanations of all the things I had questions about, a huge one being how this magical world actually works instead of reasons given, I would have absolutely given this book a five star rating. As is, there is a lot that Weinstein has to answer in future volumes. It's a sort of magical book. Kids will totally go along for the adventure. Adults will have questions. They will both enjoy Hyacinth and her crazy ride through the underground areas of London... and the magical waters.

Lower, medium, and Hyacinth

There are any number of "kids" books that are fun for the whole family but the vast majority of them do it one of two ways; either they treat serious subjects in a plain spoken (but never childish) way' or they are "schizophrenic" in the sense of being for kids on the surface with a subversive tone underneath for the adults

What is REALLY hard is writing an essentially silly, even wacky, adventure that has both kids AND adults laughing (and "thrilling") at the SAME things; at the same time

Meet Hyacinth

Imagine, if you will... if you CAN... the love-child of Hermione Granger, Flavia de Luce, and Eloise, but with a mind, outlook, and vocabulary all her own

Turn her loose in a magical London that, well, according to SOME never existed and according to OTHERS...

Title: The Tale of Rescue

Author: Michael J. Rosen

Narrator: Nicholas J. Mondelli

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-17

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A family - a mother, a father, and their 10-year-old son - have come all the way from Florida to the Appalachian foothills to experience the wonder of a snowy weekend. But when a blizzard suddenly descends, the family finds themselves trapped outside, disoriented in the whiteout and the waist-deep snowdrifts. Panicked, exhausted, and freezing, they cry out for help. From off in the distance at a nearby farm, a cattle dog hears their faint cries, and she turns her attention from her daily driving of cattle to saving the family. This stirring tale is both a compelling story of survival and a meditation on the tremendous will of man's best friend.

Members Reviews:

A BOOK NOT TO BE MISSED!

This was Michael Rosen at his best. I loved his book ELIJAH'S ANGEL but this has taken over the #1 spot. Michael's story, complemented by thew illustrations is a "must have" for all libraries serving children. This book can be used as a character study, a study of herding dogs, an

adventure story. I tutor quite a few children and have shared it with both a 4th grader and a sixth grader. Both students, who tend to be reluctant readers were so mesmerized that they read it in one night. This is a book not to be missed. Many adults will be interested in the tale also.

No dog dies in the making of this book! But you'll still weep!

Sure, it's for dog people of all ages, but it's also like a classic tale of adventure...like "Call of the Wild" or "A Dog of Flanders" or "Black Beauty" that any reader will enjoy. And, no, this isn't a story where the dog has to die to make you cry. You'll be crying throughout...it's that beautiful and suspenseful and surprising. An amazing rescue.

There's a link to a video on the Amazon author page that's a teaser to the book that his cattle dog "narrates." It merges photos of the dog with the watercolors from the book. It's on YouTube, as well: bit.ly/TaleofRescueVideo. It's just a fun preview.

Hang on for a cold ride!

Having a cattle dog of my own, this was a must read to me. (Thank you New Hope Cattle Dogs Rescue in Colorado for my boy!)

Michael Rosen portrays a tale of courage and work ethic that cattle dogs everywhere posses. Only this time, it's saving a family who get lost in the middle of a major Ohio blizzard.

I couldn't put it down! Well written, quick, edge of your seat. Take nothing for granted - but do enjoy the ride! The illustrations are a nice addition to this book. Very dream-like in their quality.

After I finished it, I immediately had to hug and give a treat to my heeler. And thank God I have one of these noble critters.

This is a wonderful, moving

This is a wonderful, moving, heartwarming story. Michael J. Rosen paints a visual picture with his words that causes the read to put themselves in the situation with the family. The artwork by Stan Fellows is the perfect compliment to the story. This book would make a wonderful family or classroom read-aloud and could be read by an elementary school level reader. This is a wholesome story with a wonderful message.

Wonderfully wonderful

This book actually should have 6 stars it's an amazing book. Very understandable. Entertaining. Eye catching. I love the way the dog saved the family. Michael Rosen should really write a sequel or a series.

Members Reviews:

Entertaining Though Not Amazing

The Mesmerist is a decent middle grade horror/supernatural/suspense book vaguely reminiscent of Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. Iâm surprised this was a stand alone and not the start of a series. I appreciated the well researched bits in addition to the references to Welsh Mythology. Some parts of the story were a little too convenient. However, my biggest gripe was that I didnât feel like I was in 19th century London while reading this book. All things considered I enjoyed it enough to check out Ronald L. Smithâs other work.

Great book!

My 9 year old reads it and the authors other book, Hoodoo. He can't wait to read more books from this author!

The Mesmerist

The Mesmerist is a middle grade novel written by Ronald L Smith. It contains elements of several of my favorite things, so I was very excited about the opportunity to read this book.

Thirteen-year-old Jess lives with her mother. They earn their living from conducting séances, using trickery to put on a good show for their wealthy clients. However, that all changes when they receive an actual supernatural message. It turns out that Jessâ mother has been keeping secrets, and Jess learns more about her parentsâ past on a trip to London.

Jess is introduced to the enigmatic Balthazar, as well as a couple of other children with similar mysterious abilities. All signs point to a Great Evil returning, and it is up to Jess and her new friends to work together and defeat the evil forces plaguing the city.

This was an interesting book that I read over the course of a snowy afternoon. Smith has a talent for creating scenes that are infused with creepy details; everything is ominous and foreboding. This book is scary, but not too scary. That said, sensitive children who are easily scared are probably going to want to pick another book. I normally read the middle grade novels I receive with my three girls (4th grade and two 2nd graders), but decided to go solo on this one because they donât always like scary stories.

I would recommend The Mesmerist to older middle grade readers. This book reminded me of other kid-lit scary stories like Splendors and Glooms and The Night Gardener. Smith presents an interesting portrait of Victorian London. The plot is fairly predictable, but that didnât affect my enjoyment of the story. Iâm looking forward to reading more of Smithâs books in the future.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Not too bad but not for me

This is a book that I may very well have loved as a 10 or 12-year-old, so Iâm willing to accept that the low rating I ultimately gave it as a 27-year-old is a case of âItâs not you, itâs meâ.

Yamba the pygmy possum sets off to join the Beast Navy submarine service. The first of her kind to leave their home tree in the Australian Alps for 1,000 years, she knows a lot about martial arts, sausages and cupcakes - and not much else. Joining forces with a wombat, platypus, and bandicoot with a little red wagon full of dynamite to join the battle against alien invaders, what could possibly go wrong?
