Book Review - Dactyl Hill Squad

Dactyl Hill Squad



About the Book
"This book is true fire. It is everything I didn't even know I needed." -- Jacqueline Woodson

 "This is the story that would've made me fall in love with reading when I was a kid." -- Tomi Adeyemi

It's 1863 and dinosaurs roam the streets of New York as the Civil War rages between raptor-mounted armies down South. Magdalys Roca and her friends from the Colored Orphan Asylum are on a field trip when the Draft Riots break out, and a number of their fellow orphans are kidnapped by an evil magistrate, Richard Riker.

Magdalys and her friends flee to Brooklyn and settle in the Dactyl Hill neighborhood, where black and brown New Yorkers have set up an independent community--a safe haven from the threats of Manhattan. Together with the Vigilance Committee, they train to fly on dactylback, discover new friends and amazing dinosaurs, and plot to take down Riker. Can Magdalys and the squad rescue the rest of their friends before it's too late?


My Take on the Book
This is a fun historical look at the world through an alternative lens. I am not talking about a distopian past but instead incorporates topics such as racism, the civil war and more together, with Dinosaurs include as well. This may sound strange but as you read this, it really isn't. The way that the author includes Dinosaurs actually could have happened which is amazing to consider. The book tackles difficult topics without them coming across as heavy topics. The book was very well written and definitely one that I would recommend to all!

Book Review - The Adventurers Guild: Twilight of the Elves

The Adventurers Guild: Twilight of the Elves



About the Book
I should probably start at the beginning, Zed wrote, when things first went wrong.... Zed, Brock, and their friends may have saved Freestone from destruction, but the fight against the Dangers is far from over. No one knows what to expect next from the dark power that forced the elves to abandon their city. And the influx of elf refugees in Freestone strains resources and brews resentment among the townspeople. Things have shifted between best friends Zed and Brock, as well, with their friendship crumbling under the weight of the secrets they're keeping from each other. When tensions reach an all-time high, Queen Me'Shala, leader of the elves, approaches the Adventurers Guild with a mission. She wants a small group of adventurers to go behind the king's back on a covert mission to save her city, and Zed, Brock, Liza, Jett, Micah, and their elven friend Fel join the quest. To face a powerful form of magic thought to be extinct, the adventurers will have to learn how to rely on each other and fight harder than ever before. Don't miss this second installment of Zack Loran Clark and Nicholas Eliopolus's The Adventurers Guild trilogy, where the stakes are raised, the action is breathless and the dangers will stop even the bravest of hearts.



My Take on the Book

This was an amazing read! The characters really allow you to feel that you are a part of the action. The fantasy adventure is one that was truly a fast paced book that engages you from beginning to end. One of the things that I loved was that the group of characters that are on the adventure together are so diverse but they work so well together. While they work well together there is still some strife and questioning of loyalties. The world that is created by the author is so vibrant. If you love fantasy, this is a book that you will also love!

Book Review - Witch Born

Witch Born




About the Book
Alyce's mother has just been burnt at the stake for practicing witchcraft. With only a thin set of instructions and a witch’s mommet for guidance, Alyce must face the world that she’s been sealed off from -- a world of fear and superstition. With a witch hunter fast on her trail, she’ll need the help of an innkeeper and a boy looking to discover the truth behind his own mother's past.

But as her journey continues, another war rages: a hidden war of the supernatural, of the living and the dead. Good and evil are blurred, and nobody’s motives can be trusted. And Alyce finds herself thrown unwillingly into the conflict. Struggling to understand her own powers, she is quickly drawn into a web of secret, lies, and dark magic that could change the fate of the world she is just coming to know.

This dark, twisty, and thrillingly original debut will leave readers entranced in its suspenseful plot and rich prose.





My Take on the Book
While this is fiction there is a ton of history intertwined throughout too. The book is also infused with magic, mystery, suspense and more. I love history and with the fact that this book brings in a rivalry between Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots, this was a book that I truly enjoyed. The author created a world that really made you feel that you were in 1577 which was amazing. The book is powerful as well, especially as you see how the book starts and you see that Alyce's mother is burned at the stake for being a witch. While Alyce escapes, she is not safe and this book follows her as she works to evade witch hunters and tries to find safety. By the end of the book I will say that I was hoping to see more books from Nicholas Bowling, as he really does create a tale that is compelling and one that draws you in as a reader throughout the entire book.

Book Review - Time Jumpers: Escape from Egypt

Time Jumpers:  Escape from Egypt




About the Book
Chase and Ava are ready for their next adventures as Time Jumpers! When Chase touches the dead, green-backed beetle in the suitcase, he and Ava spin through time -- to King Tut's tomb! Now they have to put the beetle back where it belongs. But the man with different color eyes is still chasing them... Why does he want these objects? Chase and Ava need to stay one step ahead of this bad guy. And they need to find some answers! Oriol Vidal's engaging illustrations appear on every page. Newly independent readers will eat up this time-travel series from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Mass.




My Take on the Book
This is another great addition to this fun series. My daughter has enjoyed reading these books in the past and they are written in a way that is easy for young independent readers to find success. The book has a ton of adventure and action and incorporates places that many kids have never experienced before. You will find that the characters are a ton of fun and that kids will be drawn to them (or at least I see that in my own daughter). I love to see how quickly my daughter reads through this book as I know that this shows how much she enjoys the book itself.

Book Review - Hey, Kiddo

Hey, Kiddo




About the Book
In kindergarten, Jarrett Krosoczka's teacher asks him to draw his family, with a mommy and a daddy. But Jarrett's family is much more complicated than that. His mom is an addict, in and out of rehab, and in and out of Jarrett's life. His father is a mystery -- Jarrett doesn't know where to find him, or even what his name is. Jarrett lives with his grandparents -- two very loud, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children until Jarrett came along.

Jarrett goes through his childhood trying to make his non-normal life as normal as possible, finding a way to express himself through drawing even as so little is being said to him about what's going on. Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father.

Hey, Kiddo is a profoundly important memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction, and finding the art that helps you survive.




My Take on the Book
This is a powerful graphic novel with topics that youth may not have seen in the past, especially in graphic novel form. The book allows you to see into the life of Jarrett as well, both on the positive and negative fronts. The graphic novel is an important novel that allows young adults to realize that you can share the struggles that you have in your life in ways that you might not have first thought. The book is a quick, but profound read!

Book Review - Have Sword, Will Travel: Let Sleeping Dragons Lie

Have Sword, Will Travel: Let Sleeping Dragons Lie



About the Book

Odo and Eleanor are excited to be knights. Only . . . nobody's asking them to go on a quest. So they're stuck at home, using their trusty and talkative swords to defend their village when there's cause for defense. But mostly it's just . . . waiting for something bigger to come along.

That "something bigger" comes to them in the form of an old man named Edga, a warrior named Hundred, and an ancient chant: Dragon, dragon,
heed our call . . .
Come to aid us,
one and all.

Odo, Eleanor, and their swords, Biter and Runnel, are plunged into a quest that will take them (as all good quests must) to unfamiliar lands, where they will fight unseen enemies and unlock unbelievable secrets in order to prevent an unbearable impostor from taking the crown.

Also, they will need to keep an eye out for dragons.

As they did with Have Sword, Will Travel, fantasy masters Garth Nix and Sean Williams have crafted a tale full of fire, laughs, and twists for adventurous readers of all ages.



My Take on the Book
This is a book that really brings in a bit of everything. From laughs to fantasy, adventure to mystery and yes, even some Dragons. The book was as much fun as the first book that I read. My daughter and I enjoyed reading this together and there were definitely many places throughout the book where we laughed out loud. We also loved the continuing and new characters as well as the dynamics between them! All-in-all, if you loved the first book, you will also love this book as well! If you did not read the first book, you could read this, but you might want to read book one to gain a good understanding to the world, the characters and more.

Book Review - Now You Know How It Works

Now You Know How It Works



About the Book

Valorie Fisher takes infographics to a new level with bright, colorful visuals that are perfect for young, inquisitive minds. Her eye-catching mix of photographs and illustrations compels readers to dive in and explore how things work -- from paper airplanes to straws, crayons to kites, pencils to boats.

This book will answer questions kids have long wanted answers to, and go on to answer questions they didn't even know they had! Do you know why your shadow changes shape throughout the day? Do you know how a whistle makes that trilling sound? How about why a rubber ball bounces? All of these questions and more are explained in this exciting book, the first of two in the Now You Know series. With the growing focus on STEM for this early age group, Now You Know How It Works is perfectly timed to reach that early reader and instill a love of STEM from day one.



My Take on the Book

This was a fun book that looks at many of the things that you know and use. This book explores how these things work in many ways. I have read books like this before but this was a great book that is for even younger readers than other books I have read before. My daughter and I enjoyed looking at the different items in the book and discovering things about them that we did not know. I know that you will learn a ton too!

Book Review - The Haunting of Hounds Hollow

The Haunting of Hounds Hollow



About the Book

Sometimes man's best friend is loyal for life... and beyond!

Lucas Trainer has just moved to the middle of nowhere -- a town called Hounds Hollow, where ghostly dogs prowl at night. At first, he's terrified by the nightly apparitions. But as he slowly uncovers the mystery behind the town, he learns that a ghost dog's bark is worse than its bite... and in fact the dogs are protecting the town from an even more terrifying threat.

Spooky, fun, and mysterious, this is author Jeffrey Salane's stand-alone follow-up to the Lawless series, and is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children... and dog lovers of all stripes.



My Take on the Book
This was a great book with great characters but an even better story. There is mystery and a bit of spookiness that follows the story. The town itself was completely unique and definitely a town I would not want to wander around at night. The book itself was a very quick read and one that I really enjoyed reading and I think you will too!

Book Review - Love Like Sky

Love Like Sky



About the Book
"Love ain't like that."
"How is it then?" Peaches asked, turning on her stomach to face me.
"It's like sky. If you keep driving and driving, gas will run out, right?"
"That's why we gotta go to the gas station."
"Yep. But have you ever seen the sky run out? No matter how far we go?"
"No, when we look up, there it is."
"Well that's the kind of love Daddy and Mama got for us, Peaches--love like sky."
"It never ends?"
"Never."

G-baby and her younger sister, Peaches, are still getting used to their "blended-up" family. They live with Mama and Frank out in the suburbs, and they haven't seen their real daddy much since he married Millicent. G-baby misses her best friend back in Atlanta, and is crushed that her glamorous new stepsister, Tangie, wants nothing to do with her.

G-baby is so preoccupied with earning Tangie's approval that she isn't there for her own little sister when she needs her most. Peaches gets sick-really sick. Suddenly, Mama and Daddy are arguing like they did before the divorce, and even the doctors at the hospital don't know how to help Peaches get better.

It's up to G-baby to put things right. She knows Peaches can be strong again if she can only see that their family's love for her really is like sky.



My Take on the Book
This was a great book that really brings out family bonds. This book brings out much as it comes to blended family life. It is the first book in a long time that looks at this issue and writes about it for younger readers that I have read. I loved seeing how the author has created characters that are imperfect in many ways. The book also has a great plot that talks about friendship, getting older and the love of family. This was a great book for all!

Movie Review - DC Superhero Girls: Legends of Atlantis

DC Superhero Girls: Legends of Atlantis

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions are my own.

About the Movie

The students of Super Hero High dive deep into their latest adventure as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC Entertainment bring you DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis, the newest feature in the popular, groundbreaking universe celebrating young girls. The journey with the toughest class of female DC Super Heroes will be available on Digital ($14.99 SRP) and DVD ($19.98 SRP) on October 2, 2018. Special bonus content on the release includes the 44 minute previously-aired television special, “Super Hero High.”

It seems like an uneventful day at school until the powerful Book of Legends is suddenly stolen from Super Hero High. In order to uncover the mystery, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Bumblebee and the rest of the Super Crew must journey through the depths of the ocean to Atlantis. There, the girls encounter Mera and Siren, the ocean-dwelling thieves, who prove to be a formidable match. In order to recover the stolen tome and return it to its rightful place, DC Super Hero Girls must band together and use their collective powers to successfully get back to land…and back to class!

From Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, the DC Super Hero Girls universe encourages young girls, ages 6-12, to explore their own powers and strengths through original content, including all-new films, webisodes and TV specials. The franchise offers young fans inspiration and encourages teamwork, friendship and empowerment. DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis will connect with fans throughout the world via waves of digital content, including DCSuperHeroGirls.com, the DCSHG App, YouTube Channel and Instagram, as well as a global licensing and merchandising program.

DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis features some of the top voice actors in the industry including Grey Griffin (Wonder Woman), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy), Anais Fairweather (Supergirl), Mae Whitman (Batgirl), Teala Dunn (Bumblebee) and Stephanie Sheh (Katana) as they join forces to portray the youthful versions of some of the world’s best known Super Heroes.

Cecilia Aranovich Hamilton and Ian Hamilton direct from a script by Shea Fontana. Jennifer Coyle serves as producer with Sam Register as Executive Producer.

“TheDC Super Hero Girls return to fight new villains of the deep in the all-new movie DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, WBHE Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. “This exciting new adventure continues to spread the important message of female empowerment to young people – everywhere!”



My Take on the Book
This was a great movie that brings together a great group of super heroes. One of the things that I loved too was that the super heroes were all strong female characters. In this movie you get to see the students of Super Hero High under the sea in a fun new adventure. We loved meeting Mera and Siren and while Siren serves as the main villain, we loved to be able to see these characters working together and against each other too. My daughter loved seeing Wonder Woman, Mera, Bumblebee, Supergirl, and Batgirl all together again. She also kept telling me how great these characters work together as a team and I have to agree.

On top of having the great girl characters you also get to see great fun moments with Beast Boy, Katana, Flash, Starfire, and some others.

For me, this was a great movie, with good character development, adventure, suspense and more all in one movie. If you love the other DC Superhero Girl movies and television shows, you’ll love this.

Book Review - Trapped in a Video Game: Return to Doom Island

Trapped in a Video Game: Return to Doom Island



About the Book

Kids who love video games will love this fourth installment of the 5-book series about 12-year old Jesse Rigsby and the wild adventures he encounters inside different video games.

Age Level: 8-12 Grade Level: 3rd and up

Alistair Gregory, the man who figured out how to put people into video games, is not what he seems. Jesse Rigsby is sure of that. Jesse’s sure of something else, too—he’s being watched. To unravel the mystery, Jesse’s going to have to transform himself into a superspy with serious retro-gaming skills. Can he pull it off before the bad guys catch on?




My Take on the Book

We enjoyed the first few books in this series and as we got into this one we found that it was a very quick read. While the book is geared at 8-14, even as an adult I enjoyed it as well. The book had a ton of action that kept you moving from page to page. The characters were well developed and you really get to know most! The book picks up where book 3 left off so reading the other books will help you have some context. You will love the connection to minecraft, or at least I know that we did!  All-in-all this was a fun book that my daughter and I enjoyed reading together!

Book Review - The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone

The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone




About the Book
Bronte Mettlestone is ten years old when her parents are killed by pirates.

This does not bother her particularly: her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen!) She travels the kingdoms, perfectly alone, delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.

But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure.





My Take on the Book
This is a book that was such a quick read! My daughter loved that this was a book with a female heroine. The adventures that Bronte has draws in any age reader. I can say this as I read this with my daughter, and I am glad that I did! There is mystery, fantasy and so much more in this book that it will draw any readers' eye in my opinion. In reading the will of her parents you will find that Bronte is given specific instructions that not only will save her hometown, but also does a lot more for Bronte herself. You get a great story that is interspersed with amazing artwork as well. There is humor too and Bronte is an amazing character that shows bravery, kindness and more, which as a father of girls I want my girls to see for their own lives.
