Cute Story

This story is about a little elephant, Eddie, who comes across an invitation to a birthday party and decides to attend. What happens is a series of oops moments which are equal parts frustrating for the characters, and funny for the reader.

The story is short, cute, and entertaining and includes a lesson that even bad situations can turn out to be good. It is one that is sure to delight young children of all ages. Enjoy!

Fabulous book! My son and I loved it. It’s a most unusual mystery in that Ethan needs to uncover the location of a treasure to save his aunt by solving a coded message from his father.

Great story. Must read middle grade novel!

Unique Cat Story!

This little book is currently free on Amazon! I cannot believe I got such a treasure for nothing. Love it! Anyway, this is a most unusual story. It’s about a cat, Angel, who is born into a famous cat family. The story is told in the first person from Angel’s POV. But this is no ordinary cat story, and Angel is no ordinary cat. In this book cats live in their own society and control their own destiny. Angel lives in Kittywood, the cat version of Hollywood. Her mother and father are famous cat actors. They create videos for their human audience. Angel gives a chronological account of her life from birth through the first ten weeks and we get to see the pressures under which a kitten star lives.

The book is nicely written, and the story is fun, fresh, and fabulous. I liked it a lot and my son loved it! He’s a huge cat lover and throughout the entire book he kept saying, can I have a cat?

Loved it! 4 1/2 stars

Oh my, this book is hilarious! I read it with my 11 year old and we both loved. it. The only disappointment is that it ended in a cliffhanger which we were not expecting. But not to worry, the next two book in the series are available AND are both on Kindle Unlimited.

What Can I Say?

What can I say? It's Harry Potter. I think by now the name should speak for itself. This fourth book was a reread for me. I'd previously read the first four books, but didn't manage to finish the series. Now that I'm finally ready to read the last three books I decided I wanted to start over from the beginning. I remember loving this book the first time I read it; this time I loved it just as much.

This fourth book in the series is another well written, thoroughly engaging story. I am always blown away by JK Rowling's imagination! Loved it!!

Exemplary Story and Narration 5⭐️

I listened to this book, but I don’t see the audible version here on Goodreads. I don’t usually listen to books. I much prefer to read, but my husband has an Audible membership and I was on a long road trip, so I decided to give it a try.

I was not disappointed. Wow! The story is amazing! It’s a five star story with five star narration. I absolutely loved it! And there’s not even any romance, which is my number one genre.

My son has read every single one of these books. He adores the series. It’s a perfect read for any little boy, even ones who don’t like to read. My son read them when he was about around 9-10. He’s now 11. He finished off all the available books so quickly, my head was spinning. Now every time there’s a new release we’re the first in line to buy it. He has rated every book five stars.
