Mine and Taea's Review of My Little Cheerleader by Jodi Stone

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook

*I received this ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review*

We start with our Junior Reviewer Taea.

"I like this story because Brooke reminds me of me. I'm scared of stuff too but Bree always helps me get over it like Destiny helped Brooke. Mommy.. I want to try Cheering so I can be like Brooke"

This has to be the cutest story Jodi has written by far. It strays a little away from the other two I've shared with Taea and instead of focusing on Savannah like those two had, focuses on her older sister Brooke.
Brooke has had to come face to face with some big changes. First being a new teenager. As she learns from her squad and they from her, they come together and do a thing they had felt sure they'd never do.
As always, Jodi has instilled a good lesson in this story. This lesson being that life is not always going to be happy, but even during the saddest times there are still things to smile and be grateful for.

Helga Returns (James and Syvok Adventures 2) by Wendy Nystrom

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ GoodReads

Taea (Age 6) will start our review as usual. "I liked this one better than the first one. I want to go to Iceland one day to see the places in the stories."



Okay now that Taea had her small but very nice say in it, it's my turn lol! This story seems longer than James Saves the Moon. I found it a bit more enjoyable as well. James and Syvok can never seem to keep themselves out of trouble and this time was almost bad. But they made a new friend to share their adventures with. Being a children's book, I let the lack of contractions slide since children normally don't learn about those till second or third grade (I think) and not using them makes it a bit easier for the children to read the story. As with first book, this one too names places in Iceland and weaves another piece of their legendary lore into a memorable story. Wendy has made fans out of my children and they eagerly await to hear book 3.
