How Mirka Got Her Sword
How Mirka Got Her Sword by Barry Deutsch My rating: 3 of 5 stars How Mirka Got Her Sword is a good beginning to a series.

Mr. Lemoncello’s All-Star Breakout Game
Mr. Lemoncello's All-Star Breakout Game by Chris Grabenstein My rating: 3 of 5 stars Every time I read one of the books in this series, I wish the library was real.

Death by Cliché 3: Boldfinger by Bob Defendi My rating: 4 of 5 stars I'm really hoping there is a fourth book coming out, because Mr. Defendi, I have questions. For me, this series keeps getting better. I think the first book was hard for me to understand because I don't play the types of … Continue reading Boldfinger
