Pirates of Underwhere (Underwhere Series) ReviewMy 8 year old son read Prince of Underwhere and Pirates of Underwhere in one week. He loved them. He said they are funny and fun to read. He keeps begging me to order the next books in the series, which I will be doing as soon as I finish this review.
Bruce Hale gets kids. He gets boys 6-10 years old. And they love his books! Boy humor all the way. Thanks, Bruce Hale for making my son a reader!Pirates of Underwhere (Underwhere Series) Overview

Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog ReviewLike its predecessor--Traction Man Is Here!--this book is really, really funny partly because of its deadpan "show don't tell" delivery, typified by Traction Man's stoic yet somehow ironic facial expression. The Robin to Traction Man's Batman is his faithful pet Scrubbing Brush, but when Dad decides Scrubbing Brush is too dirty to keep, he doesn't bother telling his son (Traction Man's owner) about his decision.
A fancy new battery-powered gizmo called Turbodog appears to replace Scrubbing Brush, but he's more hype than help. His bark really IS worse than his bite, in fact. Just where is Scrubbing Brush? wonders Traction Man.
The brilliant blow-by-blow, comic strip-style descriptions of Traction Man and Scrubbing Brush's adventures are followed by the parallel, yet less successful, adventures of Traction Man and Turbodog. Ultimately, this book turns into a quest for the missing Scrubbing Brush (who manages to look like a dog while still being a scrubbing brush--yay, Mini!).
I can't even begin to list the myriad little in-jokes in this book, but a couple of them are hidden under the bed and between the couch cushions. Traction Man's quest builds up to his climactic exploration of the dreaded Bin and his rescue of Scrubbing Brush. I will not recount Turbodog's fate here...
Suffice it to say that the two Traction Man books are hilarious and appealing, dare I say tour de forces? (Yep, I guess I do dare!) What's more, they remind us that true play doesn't come with an instruction book. If I were in charge of the world, I'd give these books a Caldecott or two. Since I'm not, I'll settle for giving them each a Badge of Cleanness!Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog Overview

The Captain's Bride: Northern Lights Series #1 ReviewI have read books written by Lisa before and enjoyed them but this book surpases them by far. I love the Norwegian history and the language, as it is my own heritage and it reminds me of my Great Grandmother. The tale of the Norwegian immigrants tells the story of more than one family and covers so many difficulties and hardships that the immigrants and so many families faced then and now. The characters come to life and are so intwined with each other, but still each have there own stories. I so appreciate the way the characters rely on God, but are still real people with the tempatations that we face. The learn that God's way is best, but not always the first time. I felt encouraged as I read the book. What a wonderful way to spend a lazy weekend. Thanks for the wonderful new style of writing that you have started in this book, Lisa. The history is great and I can't wait to read the next book.The Captain's Bride: Northern Lights Series #1 Overview

Deep Harbor: Northern Lights Series #2 ReviewDEEP HARBOR is a place of refuge and that's what Lisa Tawn Bergren has created in this second series book following THE CAPTAIN'S BRIDE. Tora and Elsa and Katjaa and the men they love and wound -- who return the emotions; their children and mothers and fathers and friends are all characters who struggle, who deal with the joys and losses of life, who come to terms with who they are spiritually and as members of families. Readers can find themselves inside this story, well-written in a fast pace that both satisfies and leaves the reader hungering for more. Next year! That's the only trouble with a series book! But we can count on Lisa Bergren to deliver on time!Deep Harbor: Northern Lights Series #2 Overview

Broom, Zoom ReviewCaron Lee Cohen doesn't use much text in this book, but through Sergio Ruzzlier's artwork, much is shared between two friends- Little Witch and Little Monster and one broom. Both friends decide they need the broom at the same exact moment, but they learn what happens when they share and help each other... they can both get the broom, taking care of more important tasks first.
I think this is a great book for early readers. Parents, teachers and caregivers can point out each word on each page, helping early readers learn and discover early print. It is also a non-scary alternative for a Halloween book. There is no talk of ghosts, ghouls or goblins- nor of trick-or-treating, the witch and monster are the only Halloween related things- oh and flying broomsticks!Broom, Zoom Overview

Jesse Steele and the Secret of Otherworld ReviewAs a middle school teacher I am constantly reading books of all genres and levels to discuss with my students. Reading the first installment of the Otherworld Series was an absolute joy! I had no idea of the ride I was in for. Without disclosing too many details, Jesse and his friends are in the Otherworld having one adventure after another trying to complete their quest. Completing their quest though, quite often becomes secondary to simple survival. This is a land of magic and wonder, but not the magic of Harry Potter which we have become used to.
The further I delved into this story the more engaged I became. I never "knew what would happen next." I cared about the characters and had to see them through their next conflict.. I am very excited by what this author, R.L. Brush has accomplished. This is the series to look forward to.Jesse Steele and the Secret of Otherworld Overview

The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush ReviewI bought, "The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush" as a birthday gift for my good friend's ten year old daughter. She likes adventure stories and this book looked like it would fit the bill. Well, after the party when her friends had left and it had quieted down a bit, I saw my friend's daughter reading the book. I asked her how it was and she said, "great." So I asked her to read me a few pages out loud. She insisted that she go back to the beginning so that I'd know what was going on. She ended up reading me the whole first chapter, and I have to say that I after that I was hooked. I went back to the bookstore, bought a copy for myself and read it all the way through.
"The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush" by Sally Jones Rogan is a wonderful book not only for kids but I would say also for adults. It is a smart, old fashioned adventure story with a lot of twists, mystery, and cliff hangers that keep you turning pages even after you'd convinced yourself that you were going to stop reading on the next page. It is wonderfully written and the illustrations are quite good. My friend's daughter loved it and has already started her second read through.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone with kids, (probably ages 9 and up), as one you can read with them and enjoy just as much as they do.The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush Overview

Brush (Reading Rainbow 88) (Cranky Nell Book) Review"Brush" is my favorite "little boy" book, although it's perfectly wonderful for little girls too. I buy it in bulk when it's available in print (it's sometimes very hard to find) and give it as presents whenever I can. "Brush" reaffirms the magic of childhood and gently reminds parents that they really don't know it all.
When a little boy's naughty dog misbehaves, his parents insist he give it away (that is still the harshest part to swallow). Heartbroken, the little one searches for a replacement among his family funriture. He finally settles on an old scrub brush, which he adopts as his pet. He inists that it is real and takes it (on a leash) everywhere with him. The grown ups in his life balk at this charade and chide him for his frivolous imagination. But he does not despair. One evening when his family is in danger, Brush saves the day, proving that things are not always what they seem. Fortunately, the parents admit their shortsightedness and embrace Brush as one of their own. I love this book because it is at once kooky, sweet, funny, and poignant. We grown ups don't know it all. And listening to our children opens up worlds of wonder that we might never experience if we don't really listen to what they have to say.Brush (Reading Rainbow 88) (Cranky Nell Book) Overview
