Super Sons V02 The Foxglove Mission by Ridley Pearson

by Leave a Comment

The Super Sons series should be read back-to-back as it had been at least a year since reading book one (The Polarshield Project) and I had forgotten the action/plot of the book. This made reading book two, The Foxglove Mission, awkward to say the least. Book two of Ridley Pearson’s graphic novel series is obviously the “middle book.” There is the buildup, some action, but in the end, you know it is the diving board for you to jump into book three. It is not […]

Being sick and loss of a phone means you get to read. A lot.

Bedhead Ted by Scott SanGiacomo

by Leave a Comment

Bedhead Ted is funny without being crude or lewd. The humor that Scott SanGiacomo created is not the LOL kind of humor, but a more subtle humor due to the atmosphere of the story. Of course, there are laughing out loud moments too. There is a friendship story, tall tales, rumors, misunderstandings, jealousy, bullies, magic hair, what makes an actual superhero and a girl who does not smile. And possibly a giant monster raccoon. Aimed at ages 6/7 to 10, this is familiar story will […]

Pizazz by Sophy Henn

by Leave a Comment

Pizazz is a novel for the adult but a normal one for the ages it is geared to. It is aimed at strong first grade readers but probably best suited for the second to third/low fourth grade reader. (Or ages strong 6 to young 10). There is a mixture of text and illustrations. Having a reader copy, I am not sure what the result of the illustrations will be as currently they are black and white. But due to the cover’s comic book looking colors, […]

She’s stolen Spiderman’s theme song (kinda) and talks to squirrels

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Powers of a Squirrel by Ryan North

by Leave a Comment

I am hoping to be able to get at least one more review in after this one, as I would not want to have my last review be a negative one. Of course, since there are only three more days… I am not holding my breath. I was so VERY VERY VERY excited (if you have not guessed) about a superhero that was part squirrel/part girl. (I am easily distracted by shiny objects, squirrels, books in general and books that happen to have a shiny […]

Devil’s Night

Blood Sugar by Daniel Kraus

The Crow by James O'Barr

The Transgressors by Jim Thompson

by Leave a Comment

Happy Halloween! Preceding this Devil’s Night, I had a full day off and caught up on a lot of reading. It was a relief to get these three off the TBR list. All were good in their own respective ways. Blood Sugar 3 stars “A” for effort on the language, which is written in the slang of what Daniel Kraus thinks is a modern day teenager. I found it too distracting. But much like Nico Walker’s Cherry, when I was able to get used to it, […]
