One Realm Beyond Review

One Realm Beyond

4/5
My Review

The line "With the help of his new friends Bixby and Dukmee, Cantor must uncover the secrets of the corrupt guild before they become too powerful to be stopped." is what pulled me in when I first read the blurb of this book. I enjoyed it. This story has  imaginative ideas that I liked reading. The Character would have to be the best part of the book. The Author know's them. (Sometime when reading I feel the author doesn't not the character as well as they know the plot.) But this book the Character development is spot on. The sitting of the story is one many will enjoy in this world. I found not wanting to put it down. I did how ever find some spots to be a big slow but that was just part of the storytelling of its pages building up to faster pacing parts. Bixby is my favorite hands down, I was a multiple layers girl once in my life. I'm not going to go in deep I'm not wanting to spill beans here. It was a magic read that I hope to re-read here soon. Book two will be on my "To Read List" Review Thanks to Book Look for giving me this copy to review!

P.S. Can I just say how amazing this cover it! It's sick! Love it!

Nine Days by H.R. Willaston

Nine Days by H.R. Willaston

An inspiring tale of a young girl…

Nine Days is all Andy has to enjoy the best spring break she can. Andy has always loved the water and has always dreamed of working with marine life. She gets the chance to do just that and learned more about herself than she ever knew.

H.R. has shown what great authors do in a manner that forever touches my heart. She wrote about feelings that Andy felt that I felt too as a young girl and how hard it is to be accepted for who we are by the ones we love the most.

H.R. Willaston’s tale of Andy’s dreams is one that I would highly recommend any young reader to read.

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires, published April 1, 2014.
The Most Magnificent Thing follows the story of a little girl who love’s making things and her best friend who is also her assistant, while they go on the hunt to make the most magnificent thing. She works hard, shows many different feeling as she’s on the path of making what she is thinking in her head. Once, it doesn’t work she becomes upset so, her and her assistant goes for a long walk. As the walk goes on the little girl soon realizes what she needs to do to make the most magnificent thing.
I found this book to be cute and a great story that teaches kids never to give up; no, matter what you are feeling. I like how the little girl’s assistant is her dog, it adds comedy to the story. As well as the fact that she gets upset and the kids reading the story can see that but she also find a good way to calm down. Once she does, she tries again. This is a story that many kids will enjoy reading because of the mystery of what the little girl is going to make but they are also learning too.

     This was a story that I would enjoy reading over and over. This is a cute story that has a meaning that teaches children only take what you need. The story line shows that taking just want you need and sharing is the way to live. The illustrations are good; colors follow right with the story. Little kids will enjoy the adventure that Michael Recyle and his fish friends take you on into the colorful sea story.

“Long Tail, Short Tail,” written by Rachael A. Snead

“Long Tail, Short Tail,” written by Rachael A. Snead illustrated by Laurie Barrows. Rachael Snead is a children’s author and poet who lives in Virginia with her husband and adopted son; who’s her source of her creative ideas. She is also a member of the Virginia Writer’s Club.
Mama Chipmunk tells the story of how their Little Squirrel how he/she became a part of their family. How they had what Little Squirrel needed to live a happy life; which is what Mama Squirrel wanted. The book says, “You are my brown baby and I am your grey Mama. I have a long tail and you have a short tail. You have black eyes and I have brown eyes and I will love you ‘till the end of forever.” Talking about how they are different but they love each other no matter what. In the story Papa Chipmunk tells the little Squirrel that it’s okay to be upset and mad. And the Little Squirrel is, but then becomes happy. The illustrations are colorful and well done. They show emotions that children can see and understand. The illustrations show what the writer is telling.
Reading “Long Tail, Short Tail” was a joy. I loved the sweetness in this story. It’s a story that I believe adopted children would love and can understand. Children can relate to and know that they are loved by both sides in this story. The colors in the story work well with the words being read. It’s lovable, cute chipmunk and squirrel story that children of many ages will enjoy hearing.

The Messenger by Mindy Haig

The Messenger by Mindy Haig is available at many eBooks stores. (Links below) The Messenger is a 69 page book published by Breakwater Harbor Books in June 24, 2013. This book is mythology and Christian religions.

In Albany, Georgia around in the 1960’s and time of Martin Luther King Jr. A mission I (Sammael) would have the chance to redeem himself. A small redemption means a lot to him as to the one he wronged so many years ago; the only soul he’s meant more then once in a life time. But in the world he now lives in is different then the one he knew. He wishes to see his father’s (a child of God who was cast out for being imperfect) work in the working and see it for himself and the chance to embrace a new life and to with sustain The Messenger. But while doing that it may not go the way he thought; would then leave him wishing for something total different.

I found this to be a good read; its only 69 pages witch is a quick read but is worth it. I love the wittiness, Southern drawl, classic dialogue between the characters. But what I enjoyed most was how Sammael, deals with similar struggles as mortals. I enjoyed how it isn’t just a Christian story but I love story. This is a book that is more deep then you think but once you start read you’ll not won’t to put it down.
