The Tremendous Baron Time Machine
The Tremendous Baron Time Machine by Eric Bower My rating: 4 of 5 stars This series is just fun. It's one of those that doesn't even try to take itself seriously.

The Map to Everywhere
The Map to Everywhere by Carrie Ryan My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is one of those books that I randomly picked up at the library because the title sounded interesting.

There are moments like that in … Continue reading Things My Son Needs to Know about the World
