Return by Aaron Becker My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is the first picture book I've ever seen that is actually part of a trilogy. I kind of wonder how that works. I checked this one out at the library without knowing that there are two previous books, so I'm sure the story line … Continue reading Return

The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade
The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade by Jordan Sonnenblick My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book covers some deep stuff. Part of me thinks that it should have been geared towards teens, but another part of me realizes that there are younger kids that are dealing with some of the same issues as Maverick, … Continue reading The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade

Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers My rating: 2 of 5 stars Wow, um, not that this book isn't entertaining, but boy, does it show its age. The views of the roles of husbands and wives is so different now.

Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library
Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library by Julie Gassman My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book is a cute way to teach kids about library etiquette. It talks about things a dragon might do, and why it would be bad for that to happen in a library. Of course, not wanting to … Continue reading Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library
Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw
Wade and the Scorpion's Claw by Tony Abbott My rating: 2 of 5 stars So, this book was kind of difficult to understand because I have not actually read The Copernicus Legacy series. Turns out my library doesn't even have that series, but for some reason, they have The Copernicus Archives. If you can figure … Continue reading Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw

The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have by Dennis DiClaudio My rating: 2 of 5 stars Oh my, there are some gruesome diseases in here. There are also some that are just plain scary, not that I started thinking I had them, but just knowing things like that exist is worrisome. … Continue reading The Hypochondriac’s Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have
The Chocolate Fudge Mystery
The Chocolate Fudge Mystery by David A. Adler My rating: 2 of 5 stars Totally reading this series out of order, but here we go. This is another one of those books that is great for its target audience, but doesn't really work for those older. My main issue with this book is the fact … Continue reading The Chocolate Fudge Mystery

He is a cute little character that just wanted to make his teacher happy and prevent her from getting … Continue reading Never Glue Your Friends to Chairs
Ada Lace, on the Case
Ada Lace, on the Case by Emily Calandrelli My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is one of those books that I would have loved in elementary school. Reading it as an adult isn't the same thing. I have to admit, I found myself trying to figure out who did it. I like mysteries, and … Continue reading Ada Lace, on the Case
Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week
Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week by Caroline Adderson My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is a cute book, and if I was still in elementary school, I would love it. This is just one of those times when a book written for kids does not really work once an adult reads it. … Continue reading Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week
