THE RIGHT CALL

Posted on April 15, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

A compelling look at the pressures of youth baseball on players, parents, and umpires. The story unfolds not in the typical way but in a series of texts, articles, and emails. It works to perfection and will engage the reading audience right to the winning final page.

Cal Klondike is the 15-year-old main character. He is the best pitcher for the Walthorne Baseball Academy with an accurate throw that strikes out batters. He is destined for great things like possible scholarships and maybe a chance to some day turn pro.

The story begins with a police report before going back 5 months to fill in the previous events. Through texts with his friends, transcripts of conversations with a school guidance counselor, and his own inner thoughts you will see the game of baseball in a whole new way.

Not only do we experience the ups and downs for Cal (injuries, his dad pushing him too hard, and decisions about playing anymore), but there are also insights into the abuse umpires take from overzealous fans.

A great story for a little league player 10 and up to read with his/her parent. This one will stay with you for a long time and hopefully cause impactful discussions to help the game of baseball be a positive experience for all. I’ve given my copy of THE RIGHT CALL to a baseball loving kid and can’t wait until we have conversations about this all-star novel.

THE TROUBLE WITH SECRETS

Posted on April 13, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

But we’re not okay.

And I don’t see how we ever will be again.

Those are the last lines of the brief beginning pages of the story that lies ahead. This beginning section is titled NOW, and we see more NOW sections throughout the next 27 chapters, bringing readers up to date with what happened BEFORE. You know it’s something terribly sad, and the plot skillfully leads you up to the event that changed everything for this Jewish family.

Twelve-year-old Becky narrates the appealing tale. She lives with her mam and dad, a rabbi. She longs to be perfect like her older brother, Jon, and older sister, Sara. A younger brother completes the sibling foursome.

Becky loves to play the flute where she feels the best about herself. There’s also an upcoming bat mitzvah which she knows is important but hasn’t yet devoted enough preparation time. Becky chooses to keep a secret from her parents to pursue her passion. But the next secret comes from her sister and it is even more daring than her own. They promise to keep each other’s secret safe. It’s exciting at first but then guilt drops in for a lengthy visit. Becky begins to question whether she should say something to Mom and Dad.

I’ll let you discover on your own what those secrets are because you’ll feel a deeper engagement to the story. The loving family is the solid center of this emotional tale. Themes of trust, lies, and truths lead up to the tragedy that hits them all unexpectedly. Grief seems to never go away, but THE TROUBLE WITH SECRETS shows how it can eventually get better. Just have the tissue box close by.

Book Birthday: APRIL 8, 2025. Pages: 336

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: THE TROUBLE WITH SECRETS by Naomi Milliner

  1. The close and loving Jewish family was a highlight. You’ll feel their highs and lows throughout and remember the time spent with them. Perfect for the middle grade audience of young readers.
  2. Jewish traditions are brought forth and celebrated. They never overwhelm the story but having them included help show the close bond the family enjoys.
  3. An honest contemporary story is hard to depict. Here it is done with graceful ease.
  4. The Now and Before way of telling this story was a great choice, keeping readers fully interested the entire way.
  5. I had trouble being away from the story for long and read it in just a few days. A sign of a skillful writer who grabs a reader’s attention throughout.

THE ADVENTURE TO THE ANCIENT ICEBERG

Posted on April 11, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

A flying bus, talking dogs, and an angry Yeti are enough to entice any reader. The main human characters, ten-year-old twins Axi and Brandon, add the perfect touch to this memorable adventure.

It all begins when a package arrives asking the twins for help in saving an ancient iceberg from the overly large and very evil white beast. All they have to do is board a flying bus and eventually meet some penguins.

That’s exactly what they do and of course joining them is their fun trio of canines. The task at hand is to return a magical scroll to the Ice Castle before the Yeti does any more harm.

The engaging, third person narration often provides too quick of a solution to the danger they face. This won’t bother the intended reading audience, especially those looking for a shorter fantasy (132 pages). THE ADVENTURE to the ANCIENT ICEBERG would make for a great read-aloud.

The enticing cover is also a winner. Be sure to read the Message from the Author with the heartfelt reasons for writing the book. I’m always glad to support young authors and with Axi Mok we have a good one. This story is only the beginning as more adventures are to follow.

About Axi Mok: Axi Mok is a young author from Los Angeles, where she lives with her parents, twin brother Brandon, two dogs, Jake and Kimchi, and three chickens. When she was eight, Axi was hospitalized and later diagnosed with the rare brain disease Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy (HE). The disease affected her memory, making her forget how to count, hold a pen, and even write her own name. Now 14 years old, Axi works hard every day to seize all opportunities to relearn what the disease has taken away. This included two things she loved the most before she got sick: reading and writing. Recently, through work with her healthcare team, she discovered writing her own stories was an empowering way to overcome her fears and challenges. This exercise led to the creation of her debut novel, The Adventure to the Ancient Iceberg. Axi’s debut book marks the beginning of many more magical adventures.

SURVIVE THIS SAFARI

Posted on April 6, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

If you enjoy solving puzzles, a longer contemporary read (361 pages), and animals then keep on reading. You are going to love this book!

Main character Lucy Spagnola has been invited to Wildlands Safari Escape Challenge. The challenge is at a nearby safari park where wild animals are given a large space to roam and are cared for by a dedicated staff.

Lucy’s older sister Alex is already an intern at the park, but she’s still a bit hesitant in attending given her frequent panic attacks. Alex convinces her to take on the experience. Lucy joins a team of 3 other invitees all about the same age (Jemma, Trey, and Harrison). Their task is to compete against the Park Ambassadors and one person deemed the best will get to join that prestigious group.

It’s an engaging set of tasks as they travel around the Wildlands solving various puzzles that will unlock gates to the next challenge. Readers are alerted to play along and solve the challenges on their own. Most will have you in deep thought as you try and unravel the clues.

A shift in the plot arrives when the group discovers a baby elephant has been separated from her mother and is in trouble. Some men have secretly entered the preserve and are trying to steal Tabora, the baby calf. Their mission takes on higher stakes and the exciting conclusion will have you flipping the pages to find out if they are successful.

The third person narration stays close to the group all the way to the end. SURVIVE THIS SAFARI is a unique and fun addition to the middle grade shelves.

BOOK BIRTHDAY: April 8, 2025

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: SURVIVE THIS SAFARI by Natalie Richards

  1. Each of the kids have distinct personalities that is essential to the story. Harrison’s ADHD, Jemma’s know it all attitude, and Trey who is smart, quiet, and helpful make a great set of characters you will enjoy (well, maybe not Jemma at first “End of Discussion.”).
  2. Over 100 footnotes are used and are quite helpful in learning about animal behaviors and further character insights. Footnotes usually distract me from enjoying the plot but here they worked.
  3. I’ve visited the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado several times and this reminded me of the fascinating and educational experience offered at the park. A great setting as is the one in this book.
  4. Lucy’s panic attacks are realistically portrayed.
  5. Loved the cover. This alone will sell a lot of copies.

FIRES BURNING UNDERGROUND

Posted on April 4, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

The emotional ups and downs of the first year of middle school are captured in this new book by Nancy McCabe. I’ll have trouble getting any boys to read this one, but the plot’s drama will certainly appeal to girls already in middle school or getting ready for this important change in their next level of education.

Anny narrates the the 30 chapter story with deep emotion. It’s her first year attending public school as previously she was home-schooled. Added to the pressure are thoughts of a boy she knew from church who recently died in a house fire.

She at first struggles with making friends until she connects with Larissa who is fascinated with things like ESP, telepathy, and telekinesis. Then a girl named Tracy makes the jump to adolescence even harder by asking what sexual identity Anny follows.

Anny doesn’t even know who she is yet and still has thoughts of the house fire tragedy. When Larissa shows her how to use a Ouiji board she doesn’t know if the messages are coming from the deceased boy or if Larissa is just moving her hand to get answers.

Middle school is making life even more confusing for Anny, a place that revolves around crushes and changing friendships. Anny is close to her parents but is worried that she is moving toward not having the same beliefs as they do.

Many young readers will connect with Anny and her questions about sexual identity. The path taken by Anny to distinguish between her home-school upbringing and this new world of middle school leaves her with a new sense of bravery. FIRES BURNING UNDERGROUND is a heartfelt and honest portrayal of a girl trying to discover who she is and who she will become.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

An adoptive parent and former longtime gymnastics mom, Nancy McCabe is the author of six books for adults and has published articles in Newsweek, Salon, Writer’s Digest, The Brevity Blog, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among many others. She’s a Pushcart winner and her work has been recognized nine times on Best American Notable Lists. She directs the writing program at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and teaches in the graduate program at the Naslund-Mann School of Writing at Spalding University.

THE PLAYMAKERS

Posted on March 30, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

A fun and engaging mix of basketball and theater in a multiple viewpoints plot.

Jax starts off the story. He loves basketball, but Jax and his friend Nic failed to make the roster for the middle school team. Jax’s mom has always been his biggest fan. She tries not to show her worries about maybe getting laid off from her job, making things even tighter financially for Jax and his little sister.

Next up is Luke who is tall but prefers acting instead of basketball. He auditioned for the school play and lost out to others, including his friends.

Both Jax and Luke are not happy about failing at what they do best. Jax decides to create his own team. He challenges the varsity players and coach in a game to prove how good his backup basketball team can be. He just has to recruit new players.

Luke agrees to join if Jax and Nic will perform with him in a regional drama competition. Just like Jax, he is wanting to prove a point that when he wins, everyone will agree he should have been chosen in the original tryouts.

Miley also takes some of the chapters. She presents her feelings with illustrations and conversations with an AI voice. She is not into basketball but is the smartest kid at the school. Lacking friends, Miley loves to study statistics so her task is to help Jax’s team with strategies based on her research.

They are all underdogs and you will be rooting for their success. Jax’s team turns out to be a feisty coed group of players, each with their unique personalities. Miranda and Charlotte are sure to step in when anyone hints at boys being better than girls.

The lead up to the basketball and acting competition is a compelling look at the pressure of doing well. It also brings about much conflict when Jax and Luke can’t get the internal fire of intensity in the other’s passion whether it be basketball for Luke or acting for Jax. THE PLAYMAKERS is a memorable story and one that will show readers how courage and struggle are important components of success.

BOOK BIRTHDAY: April 1, 2025 PAGE COUNT: 256

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: THE PLAYMAKERS by Chad Morris & Shelly Brown

  1. Mr. Juma, one of Jax’s teachers, is a favorite of students. He’s always supportive and provides motivation for everyone. He agrees to be Jax’s basketball team supervisor so they can use the gym. Mr. Juma knows very little about the game but provides a pregame pep talk that will bring a smile to your face.
  2. Tying these two different pursuits into one story is such a great idea. The authors pulled it off with ease.
  3. The unique voices of each character brings forth each of their character arcs in superb fashion.
  4. Luke and Miley were very different characters but were certainly my favorites in how they eventually faced their fears.
  5. Underdog stories are usually very popular with middle grade readers and I’m glad this one doesn’t disappoint.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

CHAD MORRIS loves the VR set he got for Christmas and is much better at it than he is at video games, but that’s still not saying much. Still he would love to try to keep his balance on Skatecoaster, laugh like crazy in The Furriest, and punch light blasts at alien bugs in Infestation ExtermiNation. He occasionally dances in public, and he’s pretty terrible at social media.

SHELLY BROWN went to junior high in a regular ol’ building (boring) and has never transformed into a round fuzzy animal. But she has been listening to K-pop since before BTS’s first album and feels a deep affection for well-made falafel pitas. She’s an aunt to some incredible young people, a substitute teacher, and a wannabe Kyoshi warrior.

As a married couple, Chad and Shelly both love writing books and hanging out with each other and their five kids. They’re grateful they get to spend time with students in assemblies across the nation talking about topics from kindness to writing.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIRDS

Posted on March 29, 2025 by Greg Pattridge

Even if you aren’t a bird watcher this extensive and superbly laid out guide will inspire you to become one. The colorful ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIRDS is a hardcover reference you will refer to again and again.

You can begin your journey discovering facts of over 300 species of birds on any page you’d like, but I chose to start from the beginning. Here you learn about WHAT IS A BIRD? A paragraph of information details the FEATHERS, BONES, WINGS, NESTS, and BEAKS that make birds unique to other animals.

The rest of this guide is devoted to the actual bird species. They are grouped in categories like BIRDS OF PREY, HOLE-NESTERS, and OWLS to name a few. Each bird is featured with a beautifully detailed illustration. A description of their characteristics and behaviors are covered in a few short paragraphs. The bird’s LENGTH, DIET, and where they are FOUND wrap of the facts about the bird.

A index in the back pages lets you find the page for a specific bird, a handy and useful reference. The guide ends with a glossary of over two-dozen words used when talking about birds that might be unfamiliar to young readers.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIRDS is the perfect choice to make you more aware and informative about the amazing bird species found all over our world.
