Book Review: The Carpathian Assignment

by Lisa Henson

What do you think of when you think of Dracula?  Bela Lugosi playing the part in black and white?  The Bram Stoker story and its movie incarnation?  George Hamilton and his eternal tan in Love Bites?  We’ve all got our preconceived notions and longstanding associations with the name and the legend.  The Carpathian Assignment by Chip Wagar takes the story and gives it a different twist.

Childrens Book Review: Strangers on the High Seas

by Alexandria Battle

Carole P. Roman used to teach, before her business sense kicked in and inspired her to start a family business with her husband. After doing that successfully for many years, she decided to give authoring a book a try too! Good thing she did–this month’s book is fourth in the series she started, and she’s got even more wonderful stories planned.

Book Review: Froggy’s Worst Playdate

 

Jonathan London lives in California, and is an author many times over; this adventure of Froggy’s is neither his first nor his last. London started with three picture books in 1992 and went on very successfully from there. He draws his ideas from dreams and his own imagination—a guy after my own heart!

About Froggy’s Worst Playdate

This is another book I found at the library—unlike the last, it was a bit harder to find, but worth it once I did. Since it’s part of a series as well, I feel as though I’ve struck the jackpot again! Froggy’s adventures from a glance seem fun enough to follow for a while to come.
