Book Review: The Dreables

**** Excellent Male main character who should appeal to both boys and girls.  There’s a girl character later on, but you never really get into her.  Gran, although not a ten-year-old, definitely rocks by the end of the book. About 100 pages. In short: Ten-year-old Sam Jones has about had it with getting shuffled off to Gran’s

Review for Tales Told Under the Covers

Liz Barone has a lovely review of Tales Told Under the Covers up: Tales Told Under the Covers features ten short stories for middle graders, but they definitely entertained me on an adult level. I liked that almost every main character had some sort of problem that all kids have, and that they resolved those problems after

The Magic Carpet by Jodie Brownlee **** Recommended.  I read it all the way through in one evening. About 140 pages.
