http://booksfortheboys.blogspot.com/2015/01/big-fat-hiatus.html
Books for the Boys. Reviews to help you find books both you and your boys will like. Friday, January 9, 2015. Life is way too busy and hectic for me to worry about keeping up three blogs. I am still reading and still want to help others who might be interested in my opinions of children's books. I've decided to attempt a weekly children's book review blog post over at the blog where I post my newspaper column. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. . . I hope to post the book reviews on Mondays @ The Spice of Life.

Books for the Boys. Reviews to help you find books both you and your boys will like. Saturday, October 18, 2014. Lincoln's Grave Robbers by Steve Sheinkin. When I was in school, I really didn't dig history. Presented in standard (boring) textbook format, it didn't engage me. If you'd ever told me in 6th grade that I'd enjoy reading a history book, I would have thought you were crazy or from Mars. I definitely give it two thumbs up with no reservations. Unless your child is highly, highly sensitive an...

Home from the library. My oldest saw it and exclaimed, " Little Joe. That was the best book I read last year! I agree with him. My other reader was not convinced. In fact, he decided to go "green beans" on me about Little Joe. Because it's so real.". Me, too. Sandra Neil Wallace's story about a young boy, Eli, raising ...

When I perused the cover and blurps on the cover, I thought, "Great. Another book about an environmental agenda.". When I got around to reading it, it started slowly. The point-of-view jumps around. It puts me in mind of Holes. And 12-year-old Chap tries desperately to save his home and his family's business af...
