Book Review - Happily Ever Afterlife: Ghostcoming

About the Book
Lucy has just joined the afterlife, and as a brand-new ghost she's mostly see-through, not able to stand or sit normally, stuck in the ballet clothes she was wearing before she crossed over...and stuck in middle school. Can't a ghost get a break?

But then the cutest (ghost) boy she's ever seen turns out to be her very own guide to school, and things start looking brighter. Maybe she's not quite solid yet, but Lucy is definitely going to make this the best afterlife ever!



 
My Take on the Book
This was a fun book that lets you get in the afterlife, but also into the life of a middle school girl. You get to experience some ups and down in this characters' afterlife, but in the end you can tell that Lucy is working hard to make her afterlife an amazing one. My daughters loved reading this and I found that they did not want to put this down!

Book Review - Vampirina at the Beach

About the Book
When the summer moon is full, a beach trip is an epic way to spend the night.

This was a fun book that lets you meet and hang 10 with a very fun Vampire. I loved the idea of being able to spend time at the beach in the Moonlight just like you would during the day. You get to have a ton of fun with her and my daughters loved being able to read another book with this memorable character!

Book Review - Lizzie and Lou Seal

About the Book
What will Lizzie do when Lou Seal loses his puff?

Lizzie lovers her flip-flops. They go shuffle shuffle across the rug, smack smack on the floor tiles, and thwap thwap down the stairs. Lizzie also loves her blow-up toy, Lou Seal. Lizzie and Lou Seal are off to the beach, but beach fun turns to beach disaster when Lizzie loses her flip-flops and Lou Seal starts losing air! It’s a sink or swim scenario. What will Lizzie do?

This is a beautiful book with mixed media art and a lovely retro feel, for fans of Ladybug Girl at the Beach. Children will relate to Lizzie’s independence and creative problem solving and fall in love with Lou Seal themselves. Filled with lots of fun words and sounds, this is a perfect read aloud book for parents and children alike.



My Take on the Book
This was a fun book that brings summer to the forefront. You get to see the fun of summer through the eyes of an energetic girl that has so much love of life. While this has a great story, it gets a bit exciting when Lizzie loses her flip-flops and Lou Seal loses his air. You get to see some great problem solving in action and the book really uses vivid wording to make you better understand and truly feel and experience what is happening in the story! This is a book you will want to read with your kids!

Is he trying to free Orson -- to somehow bring him back to life for real?! Sam and his friends are about to find out!



My Take on the Book
Below is a review of the book written by my daughter who is in third grade!

I think Eerie Elementety is a great book because it is about three friends that go to Eerie Elementary. Their school is alive and because of this they have to fight the school. Someone named Olson Eerie built the school over 100 years ago and is trying to come back to life. In the new Eerie Elementary book Sam battles the machine and their guest teacher has the last name Eerie. The three do research about the Eerie family tree and they find out the guest teacher was Olson Eerie's great-great grandson. At first they thought the grandson was bad, but they followed him home and the grandson was by the machine. He found the three and trapped them in a dead end. They thought he is trying to bring Olson Eerie back to life, but the teacher said that he found the machine when he moved in and they he is working to make sure that Olson can never can come back. I think this is a great series for readers my age!
