What a nice story for elementary students

This is the second book about Ociee, written well and enjoyable. It is great to have "good" books for young adult readers ---- family centered and morally based.

They are all great reads for young and old alike

This is the second of four books about Ociee Nash. They are all great reads for young and old alike.

Max and the Map - The Odyssey

After finding an old book of maps, Max and his 2 friends are "transported" to the Mediterranean Sea where they experience the events of Homer's Odyssey. This was a nice and simple version of the classic poem.

Title: Doodles Lanhorn and the Quest to Save Inner Earth

Author: Russell Bernstein

Narrator: John J Proto

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-18-16

Publisher: Hannacroix Creek Books, inc.

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Doodles Lanhorn is a redheaded boy of 13 who doesn't feel very popular or successful, but he does have a special talent: He has recently discovered the powers of Wizartry, the art of drawing something and making it come to life. Doodles comes to learn that he is unique in that he does not require a paintbrush like most Wizarts; he can draw with just the use of his hands.

In this new standalone novel, Doodles must face old enemies, rescue his family, and ultimately save Inner Earth, the sacred land of the Wizarts. With the help of his friends, Laura and Darren, and Boogley, a special creature, he is able to overcome his fears and face these obstacles head on.

Members Reviews:

This is really a great adventure book for any young reader

This is really a great adventure book for any young reader. It really has it all-a moral driven adventure, strange and exotic creatures, mystical powers, and even a dragon!

I loved the actual concept of Wizartry, I won't give it away here but it really is a unique concept that helps keep the story fresh and entertaining, I think all readers will be eager to learn more about Wizartry and the world of Inner Earth.

Aside from a cool story and concept there really are great lessons here for young readers. The characters show a lot perseverance when the going gets tough, and I think the biggest lesson young readers will take away is the importance and value of friendship.

Great book for young readers, or anyone as I was quickly sucked into the story as well! It sounds like there are/will be more Doodles books, and I can't wait.

Any child and adult would get great pleasure in reading this book

This is one of the most creative books for children that I've ever read since Harry Potter. Any child and adult would get great pleasure in reading this book. It will take you to a magical place and have kids wanting more.

Another great story by a talented new author.

This is the second book, in what I hope will be a multi-book series, about Doodles Lanhorn, a middle school aged boy with a special talent who is ridiculed and bullied because he is a bit different. In this well written adventure, Doodles, with his unique talent and the help of his friends, saves his family and his town, and protects a very special place filled with magic and wonder. In this story we follow Doodles as he hones his special abilities, grows in confidence and learns the importance of trusted friends. This is a fun book to read for young teens and adults, with a powerful message about standing tall.

Excellent read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eagerly awaiting a third opportunity to spend time with Doodles and his friends. The descriptive writing will take you into Inner Earth along with Doodles. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent!!

I loved reading this book! It is well written and takes you on a journey. I especially like this book because it is engaging and teaches profound life lessons. Anyone would love this. Excellent! Highly recommend!

Title: Crossed and Found

Subtitle: Mystery History, Book 1

Author: Sonny Barber

Narrator: Kelsey Osborne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-29-16

Publisher: Sonny Barber, BarberWrite LLC

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

"Now everything's changed...I don't need to make new friends."

Thirteen-year-old Kay Telfair believes her life is over when she moves with her family a thousand miles to their new home near the Delaware River in New Jersey. But her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Anna and discovers a two-centuries-old letter - a letter that could change American history. Before she unravels the letter's mystery, Kay stumbles headlong into an adventure - confronting fears she'd never experienced, stretching the limits of her friendship with Anna, and forcing a test of Kay's physical strength that could save her own life.

Members Reviews:

Finally! A return to the classic summer vacation page turner. Kay is a modern day Nancy Drew.

Full disclosure, I heard about this book from the author himself, whom I met recently. He told me this was his first book and, out of pure curiosity, I bought a copy as soon as it appeared on Amazon. This is a fast-paced, clean read. Parents will be pleased that thereâs no foul language, sexual situations, orâthank heavensâno vampires, zombies or teens fighting for food. I actually learned something about Washington crossing the Delaware in 1776. However, itâs not overloaded with history. The history merely sets up the mystery at the beginning and creates the intrigue for the teens. There are some twists in the plot that any age group would find interesting. I found myself anxious to find out how deep the young Kay would get involved in the mystery. There are also some very nice surprises at the end that I didn't see coming. I'm now anxious to read the author's next book which has the same characters. Crossed and Found is a great summer beach/mountain vacation read, or for anytime, actually.

HISTORY MYSTERY

Came across Crossed and Found while looking for some summertime reading for three granddaughters - ages ten and sixteen. I liked the historical linkage of the book to a current day mystery targeted to their age group. After reading it I recommended it to my granddaughters. All three thoroughly enjoyed it. They particularly liked the two primary characters -Anna and Kay and their sometime strained friendship and spirit of adventure coupled with their discovery of the historical document that drives the plot.

Greater development of the characters and more detail regarding the exact nature of the document would probably strengthened the tale but overall the consensus by all parties was a very good read. All are looking forward to a follow on history mystery due later this summer.

Best mystery book! :)

Crossed and Found has a very good plot! It is a mystery book that is full of mystery's and surprises. It is the first mystery book I have read but i'd say the best book I have read as well. If you have not read this book you should. Sonny Barber is a very good writer.

Suspenseful history mystery.

Great book for young teenagers. Solid mystery but written in a descriptive manner without involving sex and violence. Mystery holds your attention well. Can't wait till the next book to see what the girls get into next.

I read this book. And "yes", I am ...

I was interested in the Crossed and Found summary which said it was a "modern-day mystery with a historical twist." The story moved quickly and the little bit of American history was very interesting, yet didn't slow down the story.

Title: Wilf the Mighty Worrier Saves the World

Author: Georgia Pritchett

Narrator: Mel Giedroyc

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-16

Publisher: Quercus

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Wilf is a little boy who worries quite a lot about quite a lot of things. About almost everything. He's frightened of stuffed animals. Peanut butter makes him nervous. And as for the awful crawly insects that have waggly feeler-thingies instead of eyes? Well, that is just something that doesn't bear thinking about.

When The Most Evil Man in the World moves in right next door, Wilf is understandably alarmed. Panicked, in fact - totally and utterly freaked out. The neighbor, Alan, is a self-styled Evil Lunatic, with a grumpy robot sidekick and a dog named Kevin Phillips to prove it. Seriously, what kind of maniac gives his dog a surname? And why do the three of them always look like they're up to no good?

The only ally Wilf has in his desperate struggle to put a stop to Alan's ridiculous - but also quite upsetting, really, when you think about it - plans to destroy the world is his little sister, Dot (and her trusty "blanky", of course).

Could this be the end of the mighty worrier Wilf, or is it the beginning of a legend?

Critic Reviews:

"A total delight of, what I call, a book!" (Miranda Hart)

"A lively, funny story." (Jacqueline Wilson, author of Candyfloss)

"This book is worryingly good. A funny, original and inventive story that children and adults will love." (Tracey Ullman)

Members Reviews:

Very sweet, nice story.

Great story for any little worrier in your life! (I wish every book could be narrated by Mel!!)

Fuzzy and Coco, the guinea pigs of Strawberry Park, London, are enjoying the spring, cleaning out their hutch and looking forward to the Easter fair! But then Fuzzy's owner, Ben, comes home very upset. The rescue center for local animals has to close down, and all because a very naughty bunny called Binny made a huge mess and chewed through all the cages! And, worst of all, the rescue center's Easter fair will have to be cancelled.

Things get worse when Ben brings Binny the bunny home to stay with the guinea pigs. Binny causes lots of trouble - she poops everywhere and is very rude to Coco. Meanwhile, Fuzzy and Terry, the guinea pig next door, plan to help get the Easter fair back on track by using the Internet to invite all of the locals to come help fix up the rescue center.

Coco and Eduardo try to help Binny improve her behavior, but she is too naughty to listen. She is a very sad bunny - she wants to be a pet in a home of her own, like Fuzzy and Coco. But then she runs off, and everyone is scared that the fox will find her and eat her!

The day of the Easter fair arrives, and lots of volunteers turn up to help fix the rescue center. It won't have to close after all! But where is Binny - the Easter Bunny? Fuzzy and Terry told everyone that she should be there! At the last minute, Eduardo and Coco find her, and they rush to the rescue center. It's not too late! Binny is adopted by a lovely little girl and the rescue center can stay open, and all because of the cleverness of the Guinea Pigs Online!

Members Reviews:

Awful Christmas story -- not appropriate for children and not recommended for adults

I am more than willing to read a Christmas story that detours from the path of "normal" if it is well written. I was intrigued by the idea of vampire snowmen and was willing to read this story with my sense of humor well prepared to be assaulted. Assaulted it was and then some. Vampire elves I can deal with. Vampire snowmen okay. Dark elves no problem, but when I started reading about zombie elves and Santa Flaws it was just too much. The story was not well written, it is definitely not something that I would want any child of mine to read, and it was not even something that I would recommend to adults. The most imaginative part of the story was the fact that there were vampires and zombies, which could have been fun if it was not so stupid! The author did not use his imagination to write this story beyond the creation of the characters. Don't waste your time, even if you picked this up free like I did.

For the young horror fan in your life...

The great thing about zombie authors is their dedication to the genre...just when I think they have reached the limits of the imagination, I stumble upon something that expands zombie fiction into other genres - engulfs them, really. NOM NOM NOM! While other genres add glitter to their monsters, one author has brought the zombie culture to the North Pole...and vampire snowmen -- a little something from various sub-genres of horror, mixed with suspense, without giving the little ones nightmares.

When I realized that I would be reading a story about vampire snowmen and zombie elves, I didn't know whether to laugh or beat myself with my laptop. After carefully noting in the intro that the author LOVES Christmas and the holiday season, I decided to approach this book with the same seriousness I would give to any fantasy tale. Keep in mind, this is young adult fiction, with the goal of appealing to both children and adults...so, not quite as dark as you might expect, and age appropriate for grade school & up. My 5yr old loved it & wants "the guy who madeNightmare Before Christmas(Tim Burton) to make the book into a movie."

There are Light Elves and Dark Elves; the Light Elves make the toys, and are enjoying a well-deserved night off at an enchanted amusement park. Laidenn realizes that they are about to be attacked by vampire snowman. This is where the author's talent for detail starts to show, when Laidenn prepares to fight with bags of salt. As Laidenn tries to make the other elves aware of the impending danger, we learn more about how the light and dark magic work at the North Pole. We also discover that there are actually two different breeds of vampires as well.

I laughed at the description of the horrible things that took place in Santa's workshop, for instance, Barbie heads with Ken bodies! (Not necessarily scary, but kids will understand how troublesome this can be.) Santa defends his workshop with the stealth and swiftness that would make Van Helsing proud. Don't let the fat, jolly appearance fool you - this Santa has the moves of a warrior.
