Review: Dauntless by Dina Sleiman

Posted in Reviews

Dauntless was not exactly what I was expecting when I agreed to review the book through NetGalley (ARC digital copy), but it did turn out to be a pleasant surprise. It was a fun play on the traditional Robin Hood. This tale is set during the same time period, and Robin Hood is even mentioned in the book. Young “Lady” Merry finds herself in the unfortunate position of needing to care for a group of children and young adults when they flee for their lives after the murder of her father and their parents. Over time, they do just what…

In fact, you will end up craving fresh from the vine tomatoes. You’ll want to get those tomatoes planted so you can see the harvest sooner rather than later. I was resting in bed reading Epic Tomatoes only to find…

Review: God’s Wondrous Machine – The Electrifying Nervous System by Lainna Callentine

Posted in Reviews

Special thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy of this book. The Electrifying Nervous System (affiliate link) is the first book in a new series called God’s Wondrous Machines. It’s geared towards 3rd to 6th graders, but it would be a good resource for older kids as well. It is presented from the viewpoint that the Lord created the world and everything in it. It does not, however, take a stance on old-earth vs young-earth creationism as Lainna Callentine M.Ed., M.D. felt that was beyond the scope of the book. The book features 3 levels of vocabulary which are…
