A review for the second book in the middle grade Juniper Lane Adventures. This is a fun story about a young teen finding her place and her magic as she defeats a magical force trying to take over London. Full of folklore, and lots of great characters, with a fascinating plot.
A review for the first book in a science fiction duology about time travel and the multiverse. Moonleapers by Margaret Peterson Haddix has invented a new and interesting way to time travel. I loved the characters and the story was an interesting one with lots of historical facts mixed in.
A review for the ARC for the upcoming middle grade novel, Bug Bandits by Jenni L Walsh. A fast paced story about a young girl trying to save her father’s insectarium, a bug museum, from a burglary. This is a story about friendship and science with a dash of adventure and a bit of mystery.
Three very short reviews of three middle grade books that I read in the last couple of weeks. Two are fiction and one is nonfiction. The First State of Being is wonderful historical science fiction story about Y2K. The Bletchley Riddle is set during WWII and it is about two siblings searching for their mother. Loch Ness Uncovered is about the Loch Ness Monster and how the story began and the evidence of the hoaxes that have perpetuated over the years.
A review for the middle grade audiobook by Matt Eicheldinger. Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Tem Broken Toes is a heartwarming story of a sixth grader who comes under a curse to break all of his toes. Barret Leddy does an awesome job with the narration, sounding just like a twelve year old learning to navigate life in middle school.
Hello, hello! Today I am bringing you two short reviews for two fantasy books I read this week. The first one is the sequel to the Runestone Saga series by one of my favorite authors. The second is a middle grade fantasy about a young boys adventure in a magical world adjacent to ours where he meets all kinds of wonderful creatures and an intriguing girl who can fly. Let’s get to it, shall we?
