If you think your parents are embarrassing, imagine if your granddaughter suddenly paid you a visit from the future!
Continue Janie's exciting adventures with The Case of the Missing Medallion and What Do People Wear in the Future, Anyway?
The Case of the Missing Medallion:
Just when things seem to be getting back to normal, Janie is faced with another big problem: The secret medallion is missing! Who could have taken it? And how will she get it back?
Janie can't be the first Bearer of the Medallion to lose the one thing she was to protect above all else.... can she?
What Do People Wear in the Future, Anyway:
Janie gets word that the future is in serious trouble. People have all kinds of cool apps and gadgets that let them read minds and crazy stuff like that - but the people that took her medallion have taken control, and history has gotten way off track. To make matters worse, everyone seems convinced that only Janie can figure out how to get things back to normal. Which she finds pretty, um, ridiculous.
Janie doesn't feel like the genius everyone seems to think she is. And if the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of an eleven year old girl, things must be even worse than she thought!
Join Janie, Sheila and ....[ahem, no spoilers!] as they try, once again, to save the day.
Lila Segal always wondered what it would be like to travel through time and kind of misses the 1980's. She likes mint chocolate-chip ice cream, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, strong black coffee, and watching too much TV. Despite her kids' assurances to the contrary, she's entirely convinced that she's just as cool as she was when she was a teenager (which, granted, isn't saying much), and she still can't get used to the idea that she's not a kid anymore. She lives on planet Earth with her loving husband, two incredible boys and, sadly, no pets whatsoever.
My tween granddaughter and I read the entire series a d have had so much fun doing so! While reading books 1-5 we had so much fun talking about the history of the United States and our family's roles in it. We also had great fun explaining what time and place in history we would like to visit, and even how we would fix history if we had a medallion! An AWESOME READ!
I really enjoy this series (even as an adult). I had read the previous box set (Books 1-5) and really enjoyed them, so giving this set a try was a no-brainer. This series is probably geared toward the middle grade reader, but what I find charming is that the drama and excitement that the characters go through is so reminiscent of me being a girl that age. I love that this series has mystery and adventure, and even a secret language. Its just a lot of fun. I listened to the Audible audio version of the book and thought the narration was spot-on. Overall, if you're looking for a series of books to get your middle grade reader hooked on (especially girls), this is a great choice.
