John Bellairs died in 1991 he wrote the first three novels of the series, the rest of which were completed by Brad Strickland from Bellairs' notes. this was by no means a bad experience, and as a children's adventure, it is fine.but for me, i have to admit that the magic has faded a bit. Zimmerman are transported back to rural Pennsylvania Dutch country, 1828, and must solve various issues involving both white and black magic. ![]() this is the second solo adventure for Rose in this one, she and wizened old witch Mrs. This is Number 4 in the Lewis Barnavelt series, featuring angsty, geeky youngster Lewis and his tomboy best friend Rose Rita. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you aren’t a reader who enjoys savoring, then you might bounce off this book. A mix of elements and details that explode powerfully toward the end, but it takes time to get there. I will say, however, if you aren’t a fan of slow-burn novels, you should be aware that that’s exactly what this book is: a slow burn. I enjoyed the pacing, the slow and steady build of things that you don’t even really realize are building up to a pressure point until it happens. I’d qualify this one as a slow burn that leads to a raging inferno. Youngest is one of those books that crept up on me, I suppose I could say. I’ve just finished writing my own fantasy series set in an alternative Wild West, so I suppose the setting itself really got my blood pumping. When I realized it was a book set in an alternative West, I got really excited. When she asked me if I’d be interested in reading her newest release, and first foray into self-publishing, I jumped on it. ![]() I always savor her books, and I learn a lot from reading them. She has an unflinching ability to look at the whole human experience and present that in unique ways. She doesn’t shy away from hard, darker moments, either. She has a way with dealing with emotions subtly that just works for me. ![]() I have loved every book of hers I’ve read. Jaime Lee Moyer is an author I hugely admire. ![]() ![]() Wenzel uses a range of painterly styles borrowed from impressionism, pointillism and others to make readers think about how perception, art and emotion are intricately linked. ![]() But wait, we’re not quite done yet the cat walks on and comes to the water: imagine what it saw … We’re then told ‘The cat knew them all, and they knew the cat.’ –a lengthy discussion might ensue from this statement alone. On walks the cat and is seen by the bird, the flea, the snake, the worm and the bat …Ī dozen sightings, every one through different lenses, lenses which create shifts between texture, colour and tone, underlined after all twelve sightings by ‘YES, THEY ALL SAW A CAT!’ The child sees the cat, the dog sees the cat – sleek and slinky, the fox sees the cat – chunky and stubby, the fish sees the cat thus …Īnd the mouse – well the mouse sees an alarmingly jaggedy, predatory monster, and the bee sees a pointillist image. ‘The cat walked through the world, with its whiskers, ears and paws …’. ![]() ![]() It’s a wonderfully philosophical consideration brilliantly demonstrated by author/illustrator Brendan Wenzel in this creative, thought-provoking mixed media exploration of observation, imagination and perspectives, which begins thus: The world looks different depending on the lenses through which we view it, surely? I certainly think so. A cat is a cat, is a cat, no matter what. ![]() ![]() ![]() Star Trek for young fans of the genre, who'll be thrilled at the prospect of a sequel. "Searles' action- and intrigue-packed sci-fi thriller is peopled with characters who are sometimes confused, sometimes heroic and sometimes brats-that is to say, always genuine. The Stolen Moon, the thrilling sequel to Lost Planet by Rachel Searles, is an exciting science fiction adventure perfect for Star Wars fans. And I really really like the cover artwork. The series is written for Middle Graders, but it’s a lot of fun for all ages. I won an ARC of it last year and posted a review HERE. Chase, Parker, Lilli, android Mina, and the solider Maurus are fighting for their lives, the lives of Lennard and his crew, and for the truth about what Asa has in store for the universe. This is the second in Rachel Searles’ THE LOST PLANET series, and it released just yesterday. ![]() ![]() There are only two people who may have the key to their abilities, and their purposes: Captain Lennard, who is harboring Chase and Lilli (and Chase's friend, Parker) on his spaceship, and Asa Kaplan, who may be responsible for an interplanetary takeover meant to push Lennard out of power. The Stolen Moon is geared towards kids ages 9-14 and is. Chase can "phase"-pass through objects, and Lilli can "transport"-send a copy of herself to other locations, even other planets. Please join us for the book launch of The Stolen Moon written by LA area writer Rachel Searles. He doesn't remember his past, but Lilli does-she remembers their parents, and life before their planet was destroyed. Chase has been reunited with his younger sister, Lilli. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jody Hedlund is the author of over thirty historicals for both adults and teens and is the winner of numerous awards including the Christy, Carol, and Christian Book Award.Jody lives in central Michigan with her husband, five busy children, and five spoiled cats.

I was hooked as soon as I started reading the first selection and reeled in completely by the time I closed the back cover. Each story challenges you to wake up from the daydream, look deep into your own soul and confront those fears that lurk within you. Every story makes you want to stand up, shake yourself off and splash cold water on your face. Every entry in this compilation makes you squirm. If you've never read her, this is a good place to start. ![]() If you're already a Brite fan, this is definitely a must for your collection. This remarkable anthology is perhaps the most disturbing, yet the most brilliant, collection of short fiction I have read in a very long time. check out Brite's first collection of short fiction, WORMWOOD (formerly, and more aptly titled, SWAMP FOETUS). Many of us know her best from her popular and controversial full-length novels like LOST SOULS, DRAWING BLOOD and - who could forget? - EXQUISITE CORPSE. Brite is, by a wide margin, the freshest voice to materialize out of this shadowy void in recent memory. Dark fiction has undoubtedly emerged in recent years as one of the most creative genres in contemporary fiction. ![]() ![]() Months ago, when Middlegame had just come out, I saw someone describe this as a story about two superheroes who screw up a whole lot (paraphrased because I don’t remember who said this or even what platform I came across this description on.) That description is absolutely perfect for this boo. I want to preface this review by stating that I love Roger and Dodger so much. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own. ![]() Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from Tor.com in exchange for an honest review. ![]() Friday, SeptemCharacters Worth Dying For: Middlegame by Seanan McGuire Posted by Rashika ![]() |
