RACE FOR THE RUBY TURTLE

Posted on October 1, 2023 by Greg Pattridge

Jake Rizzi has a new label adding to the challenges of growing up: ADHD. His parents and caring educators at school are helping him cope, but it still bothers him he is seen as different.

The story begins in the summer as Jake is dropped off at an aunt’s home in rural Oregon so his parents can take a much anticipated week long vacation. Jake doesn’t want to stay with a relative he barely knows.

Upon learning of Aunt Hettle’s passion to save the environment, Jake’s attitude changes . She also relates a story of a turtle with a ruby colored shell and an upcoming festival where people search for this supposedly mythical creature.

Social media has given the legend a new life and now people from all over the world will be attending in hopes of finding the turtle. Aunt Hettle is fearful that the masses will cause undoable damage to the precious land in the area.

Jake and his new friend Mia take on the responsibility to foil those looking for the turtle, especially after Jake discovers the turtle actually exists. It’s vital to keep the secret so the species is protected and not used for profit.

The third person narration stays close to Jake with several teasing chapters from the bad guy’s perspective. Insights into Jake’s way of thinking will bring understanding to both those living with the label of ADHD and others. It’s a fast paced adventure as it moves to a climatic ending and one that is certainly sequel worthy.

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: RACE FOR THE RUBY TURTLE by Stephen Bramucci

  1. The author speaks from experience from his own journey in dealing with ADHD. His heartfelt “Dear Reader” letter before the story begins is a must read.
  2. The many points focusing on the environment and how digital misunderstandings lead to dead ends will bring about many beneficial discussions.
  3. Jake’s italicized inner thoughts bring readers inside with what he deals with on a daily basis. Each thought adds more knowledge as to how ADHD effects the mind along with coping strategies.
  4. The secondary characters aren’t just fill-ins to add pages to the story. They are all important from Mia (who not only tries to understand Jake but also has family troubles of her own) to the Swedish Adventure Brothers and the shady Texas Ranger.
  5. Making space for unique and endangered creatures is a constant reminder we all need.

TROUBLEMAKERS and SUPERPOWERS

Posted on September 29, 2023 by Greg Pattridge

Trauma

ADHD

OCD

Anxiety

Dyslexia

Children with these types of labels often don’t fit into the regular classroom routine. They can be disruptive and feel like succeeding in life is a waste of time.

Motivation to change their mind can come from reading stories of others whose childhood didn’t stop them from becoming super adults.

TROUBLEMAKERS AND SUPERPOWERS is a compilation of 29 stories about individuals who struggled in their youth only to become accomplished adults in their own field. Familiar names like Trevor Noah, Howie Mandel, Simone Biles, and Greta Thunberg join others like author John Green and artist Frida Kahlo. They all faced huge odds and rose to the top.

The book begins with a forward by the author and an in depth glossary of the key words. A great background before you dive into the stories. Each person is given a few pages and an illustration of the individual. They are truly inspiring. Perfect as a read aloud and as a basis for a classroom or home discussion. Highly recommended!

Listen to Author Keely Grand’s podcast as she gives insights into her own life.

NUGLY

Posted on September 24, 2023 by Greg Pattridge

There’s no denying this pup is cute. But looks don’t often get one the life they deserve.

Nugget starts out living with his mom, brothers and sisters in the kindly home of the Vandyck family. It’s a prefect fit until the family has to move and find adoptive homes for the puppies. Nugget panics and runs away. He is soon lost on the streets of Boston.

Alone for the first time, Nugget ends up at a zoo and befriends a porcupine who somewhat reluctantly helps Nugget survive. Zoos aren’t the best place for a lost puppy especially when Nugget has a terrible encounter with another animal. His injuries leave him not so cute in the eyes of others. Some even call him Ugly.

Soon enough Nugget is adopted by Linh Trần and her daughter, a troubled girl who is often bullied by her field hockey teammates. This bullying leads to Nugget running away once more. Next stop is another, much larger family who takes him in, scars and all.

The third person narration makes the ride an enjoyable journey. The sadness of Nugget running away and not finding the love he deserves is softened by the narrator’s optimism. The voice is reflective and makes you want to read more.

This memorable story confirmed why so many families make dogs a part of their lives. NUGLY has 48 short chapters and makes for a nice read aloud. Perfect for the dog lover in your family.

*********************************

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT NUGLY by M.C. Ross

  1. You’ll be lost on the streets of Boston right alongside Nugget. An eye opening journey the entire way.
  2. The three kids who are a brief part of Nugget’s journey bring their own struggles. Eventually they are better by the presence of this little pup.
  3. The subject of trust plays out in wonderful fashion.
  4. The Franklin Park Zoo made a likeable setting for part of the book. So many interesting scenes with the other animals.
  5. Love has many meanings and Nugget’s circle of understanding the concept is the core of this heartfelt story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Originally from Apple Valley, Minnesota, M.C. Ross knew that he wanted to be a writer from the time he was in first grade. He went to Harvard University, got a degree in English, moved to New York, and started writing books for kids. Well, there were some other steps in the middle – he wore a funny hat and worked as a tour guide; he went door to door around Minnesota raising money for Sesame Street; and he spent two years as a babysitter to a family of three Siberian Huskies, all of whom were insane. Overall, he feels very fortunate.

FUN WITH OCEANS & SEAS

Posted on September 22, 2023 by Greg Pattridge

You can find many books about the oceans, but most are text based with accompanying images. For early middle grade kids the approach author Emily Greenhalgh takes is a much better one.

IN FUN WITH OCEANS AND SEAS you learn about the five oceans and the many seas contained within their borders. Text based informational background pieces lead readers into engaging activities. A great technique for remembering what you’ve read.

Included are code puzzles, visual challenges, crossword puzzles, connect the dot, and word searches. They truly are fun and engaging. An answer key is also provided in the back pages. Even this adult learned a thing or two about our oceans.

A perfect choice for young ocean enthusiasts or for those wanting to start their journey learning about this vast body of water.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

EMILY GREENHALGH is an award-winning marine biologist-turned-science communicator at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.  Her work has been featured in USA Today, the Boston Globe, Gizmodo, the World Meteorological Organization, and in science textbooks. She grew up in Rhode Island, staring into tide pools and dreaming about becoming a mermaid. Realizing that wasn’t an actual job, she trained to become a marine biologist and then a science journalist.

​Emily has a master’s in Science Journalism from Boston University and a bachelor’s degree in marine biology from the University of Rhode Island. She has worked on commercial fishing boats, for federal and nonprofit institutions, and has led multiple cross-agency social media efforts. She also thinks you should know that both “octopi” and “octopuses” are technically correct.  

She loves discovering what makes research exciting, turning complex science into easy-to-understand stories, and helping scientists share their passions.

MISGUIDED

Posted on September 17, 2023 by Greg Pattridge

This one came recommended to me not through the publisher or a publicist, but from an almost 13-year-old who had just finished a Kindle version of the book.

The tale is set in a fictional town of Braxton, a tourist town with a year round Christmas theme. It’s the perfect place to buy souvenirs and just be in a happy mood.

If you like alternating viewpoints then look no further as there are plenty. The four middle school main characters take the lead in the majority of the chapters:

DANIEL FORD When not in school he is one of the town’s tour guides, leading tourists through the many wonders Braxton offers,. He loves his job, the town, and idolizes the original founder.

KEELEY FILTON She loves nature, but has grown tired of the everyday holiday theme the town promotes. Keeley is also quite athletic.

CINDY BLOOM Her Christian faith drives her personality as does a sense of fashion.

ADRIAN POMLER The obnoxious one of the bunch, He’s a bully and never calls the other three by their real names, instead choosing Tourist Trap, Nature-Nut, and Goodie-Goodie.

The plot takes off when Daniel finds an old scroll that makes him reluctantly question whether Braxton is really such a great place. He sets out to prove the scroll wrong with the help of Keeley and Cindy. A trail of clues lead them to a long-lost artifact that supposedly can grant one’s deepest wish. Whoever touches it and accepts the consequences will be the victor. Or will they?

Bully Adrian is also after it along with Trent Braxton, the wealthy current leader of Braxton, and his hit man. The fast pace will appeal to readers as will the mystery. A nice stepping stone to a discussion about teamwork, idols, and understanding yourself. I’m glad to have received the recommendation to read MISGUIDED. Well worth my time.

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: MISGUIDED by David Meyer

  1. Adrian is not at all likeable at first, but his character arc brings a little bit of redemption and compassion.
  2. Daniel was my favorite as he was forced to question his entire existence. The true hero of the story.
  3. I’m not a big fan of more than 2 alternating viewpoints, but this way of story telling worked quite well here.
  4. Daniel’s dad makes a yearly appearance as Santa Claus and does he ever make a memorable entrance!
  5. Cindy has to be perfect while keeping her faith private. Having to lie so many times was so against her beliefs, and her dialog perfectly captured each moment.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Meyer

I love Christ and seek to glorify Him. I also love to create. Besides writing, I enjoy journaling, drawing, building playsets and marble mazes, and coming up with funny voices for my kids. Regardless, my faith flows through everything I do, often in ways I don’t recognize until long after the fact.

I love my family and togetherness. And I do everything I can to resist the spirit of atomization that animates our age. Every day, I count myself blessed to call Julie my wife. We have two wonderful children, Ryden and Ember, and make our home in the second largest city in northern New England (i.e. the very small city of Nashua, New Hampshire!).

READY OR NOT

Posted on September 15, 2023 by Greg Pattridge

It has been almost three years since I reviewed SUMMER OF L.U.C.K., a fun and engaging story centered on three friends at summer camp. Naz struggles to learn English, Justin has chosen to be silent after the death of his father, and Darby faces challenges with her stutter. A carnival and it’s ghostly owner, Leroy Usher, helps the kids find their voices in exchange for them helping him revive the carnival back to its former glory.

In READY OR NOT it’s a year later and the three friends have returned to camp.

With his second summer at Camp Inch headed downhill fast, thirteen-year-old Justin faces a tricky choice: stand up to bigotry or let fear hold him back. When he’s targeted by a bully, and a good friend stops speaking to him, Justin counts on help from Leroy Usher, the ghost whose magical carnival helped transform Justin’s life after his father died last year. So this should be a breeze, right? His expectations rise further when a mysterious message from Mr. Usher invites him and pals Darby and Naz for a midnight visit. Instead of a reunion, though, the kids find themselves transported through time to unravel a mystery that tore Mr. Usher’s family apart. As Justin digs for the truth, he discovers that Mr. Usher faced challenges during his lifetime with courage – and without magic. But if courage is what it takes, Justin must learn to do what’s right when everything’s wrong.

+++++++++++++++++++++

The third person narration stays close to Justin as he faces how to react to bullying and racism, great topics that bring the tale close to the hearts of readers. There are also friendship issues and staying true to oneself. Justin is a believable 13-year-old with the many thoughts flooding his brain. He’s one you will not forget.

Even thought the author does a good job in bridging the two stories, you will find it helpful to first read SUMMER OF L.U.C.K. The story line in READY OR NOT stays mostly at the summer camp with a few time travel trips to the past as they try and uncover the truth about Leroy Usher’s family.

The 21 chapters flow at a perfect pace leading to an epilogue that opens the door to a final book in the L.U.C.K. trilogy, The Chambered Nautilus, due out next year.

Even though summer is winding down, you are in L.U.C.K. to have this series and the compelling characters to warm your heart on the colder days ahead.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Laura Segal Stegman is a Los Angeles-based author whose middle grade debut novel, Summer of L.U.C.K., and its sequel, Ready or Not (both from Young Dragons Press), are available wherever books are sold. The Chambered Nautilus, third in the L.U.C.K. trilogy, will follow. She serves as a judge for kidlit writer competitions and shares her author journey in engaging visits to schools and libraries. Her popular PR Tips for Authors workshop features a step-by-step guide to building a digital author media kit. Non-fiction credits include collaboration on the travel book Only in New York.
