Supernatural Hero - Book Review

Supernatural Hero
by Eran Gadot
Genres: Adventure, Fantasy,
   Children, Paranormal

     Andy is a sixth grader who feels he has been over looked by life. His glasses, skinniness, and ineptitude at sports make him prime fodder for bullying by his older sister and all of the mean kids at school. Mostly ignored by his parents other than their unwanted concern for his mental state, Andy spends most of his time daydreaming about the prettiest girl in school and getting even with those who bully him. He also likes hanging out with his best - and only - friend Tom, who is a brainiac yet somehow still considered cooler than Andy.

Legendary Detective at the World's End - Book Review

Legendary Detective at the World's End
by Kaye Wagner
Genres: Mystery, Dystopia

     Teigen is a growing metropolis on a distant island. The world has become something that we would not recognize. The role of the politician is nothing more than that of a trained monkey, putting a public face on those that really run the show. The unions. It is the unions that decide what society needs and the laws that are made and enforced. Kirin is seventeen and small for his age but what he lacks in physical stature he more than makes up for it with his incredible deductive reasoning skills. In his boredom with the everyday, he amuses himself with digging up mysteries to solve, and in the process helps to right a wrong that has been orchestrated by those within power.

Great Savings on Text Books for Students

     One of the greatest expenses students have to face are the outrageous prices on text books. Other than some of the reference books for the classes that actually pertained to my core classes, I never used any of the expensive text books ever again after the class was finished. Instead of buying these books, you can rent them from Campus Book Rentals.

Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox

Book cover art for Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox by Sybrina Durant Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox
by Sybrina Durant
Genre: Children, How-to

     This is an adorable book that tells a tale of a fox chasing a rabbit. Not only is the story entertaining it serves as a mnemonic device to help children learn and remember how to tie a tie. I knew there was one for tying shoelaces but had never known about this one. The fun illustrations made me wish that I had a Kindle Fire so I could see them in full color. A great gift idea for Christmas that is unique and can be fun for the whole family. There is even an accompanying song that you can listen to at the author's website.

I give it 5 star review graphic 5 stars!
