About the Book

Title: Earclaw and Eddie

Author: Daniel Jude Miller

Genre: Children’s Books

Eddie is just a regular guy trying to get by in his boring life, when out of nowhere he finds himself underneath a very unwelcome visitor. Earclaw is the unwelcome visitor and exists as nothing more than a crushing weight on Eddie's head. Faced with this permanent guest, Eddie must learn to endure, accept and possibly trick Earclaw in leaving once and for all.





Author Bio

Dan’s story is a simple story. He grew up in a rugged logging camp of the great northwest. His father wished him to be a skilled tree-splitter but Dan didn’t have the stomach for it. Instead he headed east at age 9 with a pad of paper and 12,000 fresh, wooden pencils. The next 30 some odd years were mostly uneventful, filled with family, growth and other uninteresting stuff. Then, recently, those 12,000 pencils finally started getting put to good use.

Review: 

            This is a very short story, but it had a lot to teach.  Eddie finds himself with things he doesn’t like living in/on his life.  These things draw all the joy out of Eddie’s life and isolate him because he thinks he is all alone.  Then he learns he isn’t.  What a great concept to teach kids. 

            It would be a great teaching tool for accepting others and yourself as you are.  It would also be good to teach anti-bullying.  If only everyone could accept people as they are, wouldn’t the world be a more wonderful place.

            I give this book 5 out of 5 clouds.  I can’t wait to share it with my 9 year old niece 4 year old nephew, and 2 and 1 year old nieces.

About the Book
 
Title: Forbidden Darkness

Author: Alec John Belle

Genre: YA Paranormal / Fantasy


Being a sixteen year old Monster Hunter sucks. That’s what Heather Hawkins learns just days before her sixteenth birthday. After dealing with her best friend, Kristen’s, attempted suicide, the last thing Heather wants is any more drama. When the realistic dreams of Heather being haunted by a guy named Kadin begin, she learns the truth. She is a Monster Hunter, and on her birthday, she will undergo a change that will make her stronger, more powerful, and nearly invincible to Monsters.

Along with having a hot new trainer named Philip, she believes that this will be a new beginning for herself. Unfortunately, Monsters aren’t the only thing Heather needs to worry about. With someone stalking her dreams, she realizes there may be more than just Monsters in the world, and that Kadin will do anything to stop her from helping the Monster Hunters. Even if that means unleashing an entity that was locked away by his people thousands of years ago. In this all-new paranormal young adult series, romances will be formed, evil becomes unleashed, and everyone Heather loves will soon be at risk. Because in a world where Monsters walk the earth, anything is possible.

Review: 

            I love paranormal books and finding new mythos to explore is great.  In this story there are Monsters, with a capital M, and monster hunters....and maybe something else.  This story introduces us to Heather the next monster hunter, but she is just a normal kid, right?  Well that seems to be the question of the day.
           
            In this story Heather finds out that her mom and her best friend have been keeping secrets and she is really angry.  However that’s not all that happens.   You seriously have to read it for yourslef.  I cannot wait to find out what happens next, and I hate waiting for the next book to come out.

            I give this book 4.5 out of 5 clouds and eagery await book 2.
