The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and Sarah Nicole Kennedy

The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and illustrator Sarah Nicole Kennedy Recently I have been locating many of my older links and then finding the books included in them are available, but I still have access to the links, but that is good, as I learn it is not “wow best book ever” just “that was good” so a physical copy is not wanted to keep. But that is also good as if you like the review you can run out and grab your own […]

Superheroes to the…. rescue?

Maker Girl and Professor Smarts by Jasmine Florentine

by Leave a Comment

Deep in the collection of my online reader links, Maker Girl and Professor Smarts by Jasmine Florentine showed up and I read it via that manner. Currently available, I’m glad I read this book via the online way for this cute and silly superhero story. While there was nothing wrong with the book, everything was not for me and therefore, I did not need a physical copy to keep. It is great for the second grade on up, as it has all the elements younger […]

When Misfits Go Exploring

The Marsh Fellows by Anna-Laura Sullivan

by Leave a Comment

Once upon a time a young girl liked to read. She grew up to be an adult (physically) who liked to read. And one day, due to an email she received saying, “Sign up for a chance to win these books” she did. And she won several online reader copies from IDW Comics & Entertainment and Top Shelf Productions. She was excited. Finally a lunchtime came where she could start reading. She was not sure which one to start with, but since one book had […]

Don't Cause Trouble by Arree Chung

by Leave a Comment

Don’t Cause Trouble by Arree Chung is currently available, but I read as an online reader copy found deep in my saved links. It is a fun book about not fitting in for the reader ages 8 to 12- (young)-13. It is not overly an in depth story, but a reflective story that is relatable for most. The illustrations are pretty much what you see from the cover, but there are more details on the actual internal panels. It is still minimal in fine detailing, […]

And I didn’t even mention it felt like it was book two to start with.

Silver Vessels by Steve Orlando

by Leave a Comment

If the graphic novel, Silver Vessels by Steve Orlando and illustrated by Katia Vecchio was any less believable, I would expect to see Bobby Ewing in the shower at the end of it. If you know that reference you’re not part of the aimed at ages of 10 and up. Who will  love the precocious teens, their hunting mysterious sunken treasure, the mysterious APEX bad guys, the coming of age elements. But this adult reader feels there were a lot of really unbelievable parts. My […]

There once was a ship with an old gal and a dog

Whale, That Was Unexpeted by Casey Lyall

by Leave a Comment

There once was an old dame who was …. Whale, no spoilers   Okay, a few spoilers.  Whale, That Was Unexpeted by Casey Lyall combines the House that Jack Built, There Was an Old Woman, Moby Dick and Pinocchio all into a fairly new story. There is much in the way of familiarity to the story (we have a whale, we have impossible swallowing by said whale, rhyme, and a goat). But there is something new as well (there is a dog, sea lion, a […]
