A review for the first book in a new middle grade series by Aaron Blabey. Game of Pets: The Boy Who Knew Too Much is a fun wild ride where everyone’s pet is controlling them and trying to destroy the earth. All because of an intergalactic game show run by aliens. A really fun time.
A review for the audiobook version of Busted by Dan Gemeinhart. This is fun and rollicking adventure story about a young boy helping out an old man on his last adventure. The characters were lovable and the story is heartwarming. The narrator, Mark Sanderlin, does an excellent job with the characters.
A review for my first nonfiction book of 2026. A World Without Summer by Nicholas Day is a middle grade book about how one cataclysmic event can have a ripple effect across the world. The 1815 Mt Tambora volcanic eruption was one such event that had devastating repercussions for the world.
Two quick reviews for two fabulous middle grade audio books I listened to this month. Let it Glow is a very sweet story about twins who switch places and learn about Christmas and Hanukkah. The Court of the Dead is the second adventure for Nico de Angelo and Will Solace who travel to Camp Jupiter to help Hazel.
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.
