Calvin Coconut: Hero of Hawaii ReviewGraham Salisbury demonstrates his story-telling magic once again with this rocking, irreverent adventure full of island-style aloha for friends, family and community.
Hawaii fourth-grader Calvin Coconut lives up to his reputation as a trouble magnet (see Calvin Coconut #1, Calvin Coconut:Trouble Magnet) and skates the thin edge of safety when he goes out with a pal to check the wild storm surf at Kailua Beach. But when real trouble comes along, we are transported into the page-turning action with Calvin, experiencing a wild ride in which the focus is all on the one thing necessary: the rescue of a friend.
The characters in this ongoing family story illustrate one of the series' strengths: the rewards and trials of the relationships in Calvin's world. As wild as Calvin is, he's a thoughtful brother, son and friend. He is helped along by other thoughtful, strong male characters, and by his hard-working mom and sassy teenaged "sister". He in turn holds out a hand to his little sister Darci and his dog, Streak. It is a satisfying hierarchy.
Calvin is a character with a rich inner life, in this episode concerned with not only the cast of the movie of his life but a short meditation on the Golden Buddha at a local temple "That was what I liked about the big golden Buddha," Calvin says, "He always seemed ok with everything. Like, don't worry, be happy, life is good." Calvin also meditates on the best breakfast ever to have in a storm (bacon, eggs and pancakes), why being mean is the worst and what to do about it, and how to drown-proof his friends and family.
These themes run through the book like a stream, while the masterfully written action scenes pull the reader full speed ahead through chapter after chapter. Jacqueline Rogers' fine illustrations add to the fast pace, joy and fun of this exciting addition to the Calvin Coconut series.Calvin Coconut: Hero of Hawaii OverviewHawaii boy Calvin Coconut has come up with the best idea ever for his sister Darci's birthday party. But a huge tropical storm hits the islands and threatens everything. It rains and rains. And rains.The river next to Calvin's house rises high. When Calvin's friend Willy falls into the raging water, Calvin grabs his skiff to save him. As Willy is swept into the bay, Calvin struggles in the wild waves. What happens next shows Calvin what heroes are made of.

Carl's Snowy Afternoon ReviewHaving a Rottie Service Dog who pulls me around in my wheelchair the Carl books have been wonderful to read with the grandchildren though I confess that when we read together I tell the little ones the dog's name is Gunter. What an excellent series with wonderful life like illustrations that allow the reader to craft the story to the needs and understanding of the child being read to. One local elementary teacher has children write dialog for Carl books in their english classes.Carl's Snowy Afternoon Overview

Storm Runners Book 2: The Surge ReviewBy This Kid Reviews Books! Find me on the web!
You may think that if you're a kid in the middle of a hurricane - your bus crashed, you nearly drowned, you survived an alligator attack, and everything is flooding - that things can't get much worse, right? Wrong. Chase, Nicole, and Rashawn thought the answer was "right."

Chase, his Dad and, Tomas, his Dad's partner, travel to where natural disasters happen and make their living by helping to rebuild after the disaster happens. Chase's father always made sure he was away from the center of the disasters, but this time the storm shifted! Now Chase and his friends, Nicole and Rashawn are in the middle of it! They thought they were safe when they reached Nicole's house but her family owns a farm but this is no ordinary farm. It is a farm where Nicole's family keeps their circus animals when they are not traveling with the circus and now some of the animals are loose. An angry leopard, that could kill them with a pounce, is running amuck and a lion that just mauled its trainer is loose, too. To top things off, the SURGE from lake water is flooding the farm. They are cold, wet, hungry, hurt and may be cat food! Will they survive the hurricane?

This book is the 2nd book in the series and it was even better than the first one (Storm Runners)! The 3rd book is called "Eruption" and it will be published March 12, 2012 (AHK! TOO LONG TO WAIT!). I like Tomas the best because he seems like a great friend, especially to John and Chase Masters (Tomas is John's best friend and business partner). I recommend "The Surge" to fans of adventure, action, thrills, and Roland Smith. The book is very suspenseful and you never exactly know what's going to happen next! I already pre-ordered my copy of Eruption, I'm not going to tell you how Chase's day gets EVEN worse but I'll give you a hint -think VOLCANO!

After reading a bunch of Mr. Smith's books (Legwork, Cryptid Hunters, Tentacles, The Storm Runners Series) Roland Smith has become one of my favorite authors. I am going to read some more of his older books!
Storm Runners Book 2: The Surge OverviewMaster of middle-grade adventure Roland Smith returns with a second installment in this fast-paced action series.
Chase and his friends Nicole and Rashawn have just survived Hurricane Emily, the storm of the century, but their troubles are just beginning. Though they've made it to the safety of Nicole's family's farm -- the winter home of the Rossi Brothers Circus -- the flood waters are rising and they need to reach higher ground. The circus's lions have escaped their cages, and a mean and unpredicable leopard is also on the loose. And then, of course, there's the problem of the wildlife preserve next door! Have Chase and his friends lived through a terrifying night only to face a new danger?

H.A.A.R.P.S FURY (Bryson McGann Novels) ReviewWhen I found out about the HAARP Project in Alaska, I was hoping someone would write a novel about it. Wiliam Beck has done that with exceptional style. A suspensful, intriguing mystery awaits the reader. Beck's style lies somewhere between Clancy and Cussler and it does not disappoint! Great characters and a believable premise won't let you put it down until you turn the last page. A potential for a blockbuster!H.A.A.R.P.S FURY (Bryson McGann Novels) OverviewHidden in the remote reaches of northwestern Alaska, the H.A.A.R.P. Project is now complete. Its true intent is known only to a small contingent of high-ranking military officials. When this team arrives to observe testing of the ‘black-ops' project, their unforeseen discovery yields numerous questions that offer no answers. The only clue left behind are four letters scrawled in blood at the mysteriously deserted compound. A decade later, Bryson McGann, employed by the National Earth Seas Science Agency, finds himself involved in an undersea mining project of an ore with great military potential. Ruthless Canadian businessman, Fletcher Durnulqc, holds the key to its extraction. An alluring woman, and a nearly fatal underwater accident, leads McGann unexpectedly to a chance meeting with Durnulqc at his estate.Threads begin to unravel, as abnormal and malevolent weather patterns emerge globally, unprecedented in their destruction and chaos. Could Durnulqc be involved and linked to the H.A.A.R.P. Project's demise? McGann finds himself pitted in a race against time that, if played out, will forever change the face of the planet and cost the lives of millions.
