I actually enjoyed this book more than the first one. Probably because, of the siblings, my favorite is Michael and this is his story. I was about to give this 5 stars ... until I read the ending. Yes, I know it's not a bad ending but knowing the third book won't come out until next year (please let...
This is a children's book. With no pretenses of being deep or possessing hidden messages. Just a story that teaches how strong family bond can be in difficult situations, how friendship can overlook age or race, and how a person has the ability to shape their own future ... okay maybe there's one hi...
Although this book started off slowly for me, I was pulled into the intriguing mystery and fully realized fantasy world. I loved the way time travel became a part of the book. I see many people comparing it to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but for...
I don't know what happened to all my reading mojo. Just haven't been able to finish a book lately. This one, I listened to in the car, and I have to say, okay. Jim Dale, undeniably awesome as a narrator. Great voice, great voices, great emotion. But his voice just falls right in the "Tune this o...
Summary from Goodreads:John Stephens' aptly-titled new fantasy trilogy begins auspiciously with a nimble, fast-paced tale of three siblings. Kate, Michael, and Emma have suffered through ten years of odious orphanage "care"; now they have slipped into the care of the eccentric, disturbingly mysterio...
I thought this was going to be a light read filled with magic and other kinds of happy excitement. It actually was the reverse. It’s a bit darker than usual Middle Grade fiction, and it’s not as happy as I thought. However, it was still a decent read and worth the time spent. The plot was quite de...
The bad thing about listening to a book narrated by Jim Dale is that now all I can envision are Harry Potter characters. He uses some of the same Harry Potter voices for this particular book and I had to remind myself that, no, that is NOT Dobby speaking.Other than that, though, I liked this book we...
First in a series of three (I'm guessing) about three kids who are supposed to save the world. The only thing is they don't know why and they don't know how...These three kids, Kate, Michael and Emma are orphans. Their parents had them taken to an orphanage ten years ago with a promise to Kate that ...
This was an excellent, fast-paced adventure and fantasy story. The pace was so non-stop that I found myself wishing that a break in the action about 3/4ths through was the end (which is also when different characters got their own chapters and the story didn't flow quite as well). I enjoyed the sibl...
