"Cryptid Hunters" is one of my nine-year-old son's favorite books, and I can see why. As an adult, though, I was a little less impressed. Marty and Grace are good protagonists (although they do have too much of the unbelievable "perfect skill/knowledg ...more |

I am not exposed to curling that often, but it's always one of my favorite parts of the winter Olympics, and so as a 80% novice, "Curling Rocks!" was a fun book. I appreciate, as Cullen states in his introduction, that this isn't a traditional history ...more |

| I have recently started trying to play Dungeons & Dragons with my kids, and they bought me this book. It's a fun summary of some of the races, classes, backgrounds, weapons, and equipment you can choose when you create a D&D character. While not near ...more | |

"The Treasure of Carthage" isn't bad, but is the kind of book that just didn't quite work for me. The characters are fine (Berg's a little Bond-villainy but oh well), the historical tidbits are fine, the action is fine. However, I do think there's too ...more |

| "Carl's Doomsday Scenario" is a perfectly fine book, similar to the first: Carl and Princess Donut are good characters, there's some funny moments, lots of action happens. The world-building is pretty good, and there are more hints at stuff occurring ...more | |

"Isles of the Emberdark" will not go down as my favorite Brandon Sanderson novel, and it is a bit of a soft "4", but I did like it overall. Dusk is a really good protagonist; I really liked his character, both who he was and the arc he undergoes. Vath ...more |

| "Harry Potter and the Art of Spying" was a cute book that combines actual info about spying with an analysis of Harry Potter. A bit of an odd marriage, but it mostly worked. The spy info was interesting enough, although my personal favorite parts wer ...more | |

| I am not a natural teen-romance reader, and it's still not my preferred genre, but I have recently started playing D&D so I thought I'd give this a try for a change of pace. This book was fine. More "drama" than "dungeons" for my taste, but there's s ...more | |
