Neptune's secret code

 A delightful book


My review

I read Neptune's secret code after a very busy time at work and it was very
entertaining and relaxing. 

Neptune's Secret Code by Genna is a delightful children's book that takes young
readers on an underwater adventure filled with mystery and wonder. The story
follows a group of curious children who discover an ancient code hidden in the
depths of the ocean, leading them on a quest to uncover the secrets of
Neptune's kingdom.

The book is beautifully illustrated, with vibrant colors and captivating images
that bring the underwater world to life. Genna's writing is engaging and accessible,
making it easy for children to follow along and stay excited about the unfolding
adventure. The characters are relatable, and the plot is filled with enough twists
and turns to keep young readers eagerly turning the pages.

What makes Neptune's Secret Code stand out is its perfect blend of fun and
educational elements. Alongside the thrilling narrative, children learn about
marine life, the importance of teamwork, and the value of curiosity and
perseverance.

Overall, Neptune's Secret Code is a fantastic read for children who love adventure
and fantasy. It's a book that not only entertains but also inspires a sense of
wonder about the natural world.

I give 5 star for this wonderful work!

Fearghus Academy: Precarious Gems

Again what a wonderful book! 




My review

This is the third book I read and reviewed from I.O.Scheffer and the
Fearghus Academy. 

See also my reviews of October Jewels and Chrystal Shards.

So, I was very happy to read and review the third book: Precarious Gems.
I must say: it really didn't let me down! 

It took a while to read, but it was wonderful to see al the characters
again. The plot had it all: mystery, secrets and adventure. 

This is a great young adult read, it involved magic and lots of tension.

Of course I want to give a five star rating for Precarious Gems.

Fearghus Academy: Chrystal Shards

 A wonderful series



My review


I already read Fearghus Academy – October jewels with lots of pleasure,
so I was very keen to read the sequel.

As always, I liked the cover and the characters were amazing. They go through
a lot in this second episode. 

I also enjoyed the story, lots of drama, adventure and even some comedy.
I immediately fell this sequel became a bit darker. Nevertheless I’m looking
forward to read the next story and book!

Of course, I would recommend this book to all who want to read a different
but fantastic kind of young adult story.

Without any doubt I give a five star rating for this fabulous story!

Fearghus Academy: October Jewels

What a fantastic summer read!


Review

Fearghus Academy: October Jewels was a very interesting book to read. I
enjoyed the characters (the family) as well as the tensions and the plots.

There are even time switches and the characters are coming from over the
world. 

It was a fantastic summer read and I recommend it to people who like to
read Fantasy adventures books (ages between 6 to 12).

The book was released on 26 May 2020 and it contains 356 pages. 

I give of course a 5* rating because I enjoyed it very much.

The Game With no Name

 A lot of suspense!


My review


It's a very good point, I didn't realise this book is part of a series. But since I've
read "The Game With No Name", I defenitely wanted to read more books of the 
series. 

I liked the cover very much, as well as the plot and the family. There is a lot
of suspense and even a twist.

I would recommend this book for all who like to read adventurous stories.

Without a doubt I give "The Game With No Name" a 5 star rating.




The author


LG Cunningham loves to write scary, spine-chilling, monster filled, ‘
my-child-is-not-able-to-sleep’ stories. This term of endearment could
be as a result of growing up in an Irish town filled with ghosts, being
able to communicate with (and actually see) the dead or more than
likely because his family used to rent him horror movies (pre-Netflix
and pre-DVDs) when he was very little which had the affect of twisting
his brain to the extent that he was - and still is - afraid of his own shadow.


Booktasters


I thank Booktasters and the author for giving me a free copy of the ebook
in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion. 



The Game With No Name was published on August 23rd. 2020 and contains
142 pages.

 a book that impresses!
