Mini(bot) Reviews: Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries

I’m back today to talk about two delightful middle-grade mysteries!

Mini(bot) Reviews: Skunk and Badger

I was in a bit of a reading slump after some disappointing books, but I’m pleased to say Skunk and Badger was just the pick-me-up read I needed!

Mini(bot) Reviews: Aggie Morton Mystery Queen – The Body Under The Piano

Coming at you today with a middle-grade mystery that I found mildly mediocre. No, I’m not sure what’s up with that alliteration – just go with it.

Mini(bot) Reviews: Comics Round Up

Playing catch-up with my 2019 reviews and I wanted to share a few quick thoughts on four great comics/graphic novels I read at the end of last year (and one from the beginning of this year.)

Judging A Book By Its Cover: Still More Middle Grade

This is my weekly post where I highlight beautiful books from my collection. We all judge book covers to some extent (don’t lie, you totally do!) I created this feature to showcase and admire the art and design elements of some of the books I own. If covers didn’t matter, publishers wouldn’t make so many wonderful editions!

Mini(bot) Reviews: Weird Little Robots

I myself, am strange and unusual a weird little robot, so of course I was pleased to find I’d won a copy of this middle-grade book.

Mini(bot) Reviews: Bob

Bob has been on my list for a while and while I was on vacation with Mel, she grabbed it at one of the stores we were at and told me I had to buy it. How could I say no?!

Mini(bot) Reviews: Have Sword, Will Travel

Coming at you today with a middling middle-grade fantasy.

Book Review: Jolly Foul Play

Jolly Foul Play
By Robin Stevens

My Edition:
Paperback, 347 pages
2018, Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 9781481489102

Daisy and Hazel are back at Deepdean for another term after their adventures on the Orient Express. But the year is shaping up to be unpleasant under the regime of the new Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, and her five Prefects. When Elizabeth is found dead after a fireworks display, Daisy and Hazel team up once more to solve the case. School staff believes Elizabeth’s death to be an accident, but the Wells & Wong Detective Society believe otherwise – plenty of girls had a motive to murder Elizabeth, and the girls mean to find out who did it.

The more of these books I read, the more I love this series. I know they’re hitting US shelves a few years behind the UK releases, but I hope this series continues for a long time!
