Brotherband - John Flanagan

I just read the middle-grade series Brotherband by Australian author John Flanagan.


Things I found about this series:

  • Brotherband has some connections to the Ranger’s Apprentice series, but not too many and you do not need to read Ranger’s Apprentice to enjoy these books
  • It was highly enjoyable for any age – being an adult did not mean I enjoyed the series less
  • It is re-readable. I will definitely re-read this series
  • The characters grabbed you and the plot was not repetitive. Each book in the series had it’s own plot and all were exciting and a lot of fun



I highly recommend these books for anyone from about 9 – 10 years upwards.

Artemis Fowl - Middle-Grade Novels

For kids fantasy, the Artemis Fowl series is great fun. The life changing journey of a wicked genius kid who manages to contact (and wreak havoc in) the fairy world. The ensuing adventures are entertaining for all ages. One of my favourite series for middle-grade. Another author who influenced my writing in The Ruby Key series for middle-grade kids. I'm hoping to release Book 1 - The Shadow Village this year.

Mandalorian

Finished re-watching Mandalorian. It was just as good the second time through. I can't believe how many things I picked up that I missed the first time through! I love to re-read books too, and often notice the same thing.  Thank you to the international person who put the latest 5 star rating on my newest book/series release. If you like fantasy adventure, you might enjoy the Daoine Maithe series of 4 books. It's a great read, fast paced with captivating characters with interesting abilities. The whole series is a page turner. Here is the link:     Great Books on Amazon    They are at bargain prices! You can buy one book at a time, or all four in the series in one bargain download of US$3.
