Forget every movie version you've ever seen. This is a powerful allegory and a fun read. Sit back and watch those pages fly by.

Once again, I felt the final volume dragged at times. But it came together for a great climax that brought everything from the series together

While the plot was non-scary and a somewhat fun, it was completely missing the word confussion that was the heart of the old books.

The final battle between the Grace children and the creatures who want their house takes place. Hold on to your hats, because it's a great finale.

A short novella provides a fun mystery. Then you get tons of recipes for many complete meals. Different for the series but still fun.

A bit of a longer picture book featuring several takes on fairy tails. Lots of laughs for older pre-schoolers and their parents.

Shauna is back to clear a one hit wonder from a murder rap. Another great mystery with plenty of twists and characters you'll love.

A PI investigates the supposed suicide of her cop father. Unfortunately, the characters are flat and the plot is way too slow.
