Well, Archer knows those rumours are false, and with the help of his best friends and his new neighbour, Kana, he is going to prove it. Off the foursome set, into a snowstorm and beyond, to restore his grandparents' reputation. Members Reviews: A Disappointing Sequel to an AMAZING original I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. First I want to say that I LOVED the original book & even bought it for my collection. This one, however, is not as good a follow-up as I would have hoped for. The characters are not as well-drawn as they were in the original & the author doesn't put in the effort to make you really feel like you know them again. Exceptions to this are Archer (the hero) & his new friend Benjamin. I would have liked to see more of Benjamin actually as he seemed really interesting. Kana is not given enough depth & I don't feel like you really get to know her. The book moved slowly and was a bit blah for the first 1/3 but then it picked up some. It has an entertaining mystery, but solves it very early on & you just spend the whole book watching them try to prove it and periodically being threatened by the same guy, which isn't as fun as having it unfold more slowly & with more complexity. There are also some unexplained loose ends that could have proven one of the bad guys guilty but those are never addressed & left hanging. One other point is that this book has SO MANY editing issues in it that it's distracting. There are so many grammatical errors & dropped words, the editors really should have caught it. It gets in the way of enjoying the books. Still, I will read a third book if it is published. This author has a lot of talent--it just wasn't as on display here as it was in the original. This book felt rushed. This is the PERFECT holiday gift for every child on your list!!!! There are so many wonderful aspects to this book, I am not sure where to begin, it is a holiday gift for all the senses!!! First - Presentation. Mr. Gannon's second work exudes warmth and charm - its rich color palette and lush paper stock give the book such presence & substance it make it almost impossible to put down!!!! Second - Numerous incredibly detailed & gorgeous color illustrations and spot drawings throughout the book make it a literal feast for the eyes. My children have already spent hours pouring over his drawings...they pull you right into his magical world!! Third - Gannon's clever and witty writing once again will charm readers of all ages. (I am a huge fan of his first book!!) I purchase this a few weeks ago to "test" it on my children before deciding whether or not it would be a welcomed gift by others. It has passed with flying colors.

Abe's Mu Adventure Audiobook by Taliaferro Alexander

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com [http://hotaudiobook.com] Title: Abe's Mu Adventure Author: Taliaferro Alexander Narrator: Chip McCullough Format: Unabridged Length: 18 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-17 Publisher: Tru Nobilis Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: When Abe McDaniels has his 10th birthday party, he receives a parcel in the post with a ring, which is identical to the ring-shaped birthmark he carries on his finger. He's unimpressed with the gift, but when a note falls from the packaging with a written warning, it suddenly gets his attention - "Your mom and dad are in trouble. You must come to help them." Members Reviews: Great short story Loved the story line. This book will rekindle your childhood imagination. A short listen, but worth it. Waiting for the next installment. Oma S Treleaven Great short kids story Listened with my eleven year old. Long enough to tell a good story and short enough to keep his attention. Enjoyable listen. Highly recommend. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Keep an eye on this author On his 10th birthday, a mysterious gift leads Abe on an adventure to save his parents. This 18 minute long story is deceptive. Within it is a fully developed, unique kid's fantasy world. There are the tropes of a chosen one with a destiny and his time-honored rescue quest. But Abe's Mu Adventure is very much not a knock-off of already successful YA series. Nor, refreshingly, is it grim and apocalyptic. It feels like just what the YA space needs right now. Abe's Mu Adventure feels like the first draft or initial pitch of what could, and should, become a full novel if not a series of novels. The story is incredibly visual and well thought out. Additionally, the narration was fantastic -- excited and with fun voices. Definitely pick up Taliaferro Alexander's first novel -- he is going places. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
