Anzu the Great Kaiju V01 Anzu the Great Kaiju by Benson Shum

Anzu the Great Kaiju V02 Anzu the Great Listener by Benson Shum

by Leave a Comment

I have forgotten how long ago I first read the Anzu books by Benson Shum. But I had read something else of theirs recently and wanted to go back and read some of the other titles to see if they were as good as I remembered them. And while the second book Anzu the Great Kaiju V02 Anzu the Great Listener was as good, it did bring into question something from book one Anzu the Great Kaiju V01. Which was, if Anzu is a Kaiju, […]

And in the center ring…. Acrobats!

Addie and the Amazing Acrobats by Shauna Cagan

by Leave a Comment

Okay, so I like bats. I mean I am not learning everything I can about them, or anything like that, but I have read a little about them, like a good fiction story about them, wonder why they and vampires got together. But when I finished Addie and the Amazing Acrobats, I was also thinking, maybe raccoons should not be in a flying acrobatic group. You see, Shauna Cagan has these three bats, Addie, Ben, and Jude who fly and do amazing tricks (flips, flops, […]

Read series in order

Dragon Master V04 Power of the Fire Dragon by Tracey West

by Leave a Comment

Read the Dragon Master series in order. This review is about book four, Power of the Fire Dragon by Tracey West. As an adult I could pick things up in the story arc that allowed me to understand what was going on, as we are starting in the middle of the characters stories. However, I am not sure if the age six to nine age range would be able to. I probably would have enjoyed it more having read book one, as there are things […]

My best friend is usually the one I’m currently reading

This Book Is My Best Friend by Robin Robinson

by Leave a Comment

When you have a best friend who gets you, you always want to be with them. But what happens if your best friend is also someone else’s? Well, that would be a slightly different story than This Book Is My Best Friend, but when two kids in a library find their best friend, a special book about robots and mice, they both want to take it out. But there are two of them, and only one book. As they try and convince the other why […]

An adventure for some, but I’m not one

Super Space Weekend: Adventures in Astronomy (Science Adventure Club) by Gaelle Almeras

by Leave a Comment

I am not sure if Super Space Weekend: Adventures in Astronomy (Science Adventure Club) is a second (or at least not the first in a series) of titles, but there was some missing information for me. The book starts off with three friends who seem to have been introduced to us before. But I know I have not previously met Squeak, Orni, and Castor. Despite this “in the middle” feeling, I was getting a good feeling about Gaelle Almeras’ graphic novel. I was excited to learn […]
