Lost for Words by Aoife Walsh

Although this book is meant for a younger audience but works quite well for someone as old as me! The conversation style is a little choppy, which seemed a bit odd at first, but throughout the book, it turned out to be the main charm of the narration. Dallas messes up in the very first…

The Humiliations of Pipi McGee by Beth Vrabel

It is still up for request till the 17th of Sep 2019 On my rare attempts to read books targeting children younger than high school, I am always glad when I find a gem which I thoroughly enjoy despite being decades older than the characters. This was one such book. Pipi Mcgee wants to leave…

Blue Door #3 #4 by Pamela Brown

I seem to be on a roll with regards to children's fiction books. It may be that they seem to be smaller and easier to tackle at this time. Some of them hide some unexpected surprises like the two that I intend to tackle in this post. I reviewed the other books in the series…

The Haunting of Elmwood Manor (Pekin Dewlap Mystery #1) by Pamela McCord

This book had a very large scope of possibilities. The children, (although they are teens and one of them drives, their conversations made me feel like they existed in a separate younger world) have been friends since as far as they can remember. The story jumps right into the premise, providing us with information about…

A Curious Place by Barbara Woodward

This is another experimental book that I had on my list for far too long and I should have gotten to sooner, especially since it was a morsel of a book for an adult. This is a fun set of fiction for children with the predominant focus being on kindness to animals and other people.…

This book is still available to request on NetGalley as of posting this review Sometimes I dabble in books aimed at a younger audience to keep things interesting. This particular book is small, action-packed at aimed at an audience of young kids with stars of adventure in their eyes and a fondness for quirky people…

Maddy Alone By Pamela Brown

I remember reading The Swish of the Curtain (Blue Door #1) by Pamela Brown when I was younger and the British Council library was a place I frequented. I never knew then, that there was still more to the tale of those kids. Their future is part of more books and I jumped at the chance of…

Four Different Stories by Daniel Pinkwater

I am working my way through my backlist as and when I am up for it, and the first thing I tackled was this smaller children's book that I had on my virtual shelf for a long time. This would not work for too young kids as they would probably be more entertaining for the…
