Review — Kickoff Blitz
Ok, let me start out by announcing that I am NOT a sports fan. I’m not into sports…not a sports person whatsoever. You may have guessed this by the fact that I run a network of nerdy websites. I mean, I review books….what’d you seriously expect, right? Here is the thing with these releases from… Continue reading Review — Kickoff Blitz

Review — Eek and Ack vs the Wolfman
I have to admit this book cracked me up. Eek & Ack travel to earth in their spaceship – that really looks like a washing machine – to discover why it is so hard to conquer. Their disguises are hilarious – one wearing a tutu and the other in a hooded robe of sorts. They… Continue reading Review — Eek and Ack vs the Wolfman
Review — Perseus and Medusa
This retelling of the famous Greek myth is quite complete in its details including parts of the story not always included in children’s versions such as the Gorgons which frequently get dropped.

I laughed throughout the book and constantly thought of the kids at my school and how they would really dig this book. The girls and… Continue reading Review — Eek and Ack vs the Wolfman

Review — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Spookiness abounds in this graphic retelling of the classic Washington Irving story (put out by Stone Arch) in which a timid schoolhouse teacher runs up against fanciful tales and terror in a small town. Blake Hoena retells this story (with illustrator Tod Smith) with attention to details. The wiry schoolmaster – Ichabod Crane – is… Continue reading Review — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Blurb — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Blake Hoena’s retelling brings a smile to my face. His Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a thrill, and it’s also a little scary. —Terry Davis, author of Vision Quest and Mysterious Ways
