Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Riley Mack Stirs Up More Trouble in Books

Mar 9, 2018

What do a city wide talent show and a closed off swimmer hole have in common? More than you might think in this delightful middle grade caper. The plot was always moving forward, and I loved how everything came together in the end. The characters could have used a bit more development, but that's the adult in me talking. Kids will love it.

Ms. Carter did it again. I absolutely loved the Goddess Test series and I am just as excited about this one. I loved all of the plot twists in it and the characters were so easy to get attached to. I really enjoyed the little details of the book. There was so much action in this and, unlike many other Young Adult novels, there wasn't really a love triangle. Woo! I hope people will want to read this as much as I did. Great job Aimée Carter!!

Original, there is a lot of parallels from books like Narnia and Harry Potter but used to his owns twists and made a world of his own and did it well. (0 more)

Went a little too fast and wish we had a bit more detail on the antagonist. (0 more)

Adult version of our favorite fantasy books growing up

If you are a lover of fantasy and science fiction this book should be checked out. It is entertaining and smart and you wouldn’t want to put the book down.

Brings back great childhood memories

I used to watch this show when I was a kid in the 90s. I absolutely loved it! I haven't seen it in so many years! Thanks to Hulu I got to start with the pilot episode and am now working my way through watching the entire series again! Even as an adult I am enjoying the show once again, ahhh the nostalgia! I believe the youth of today would still thoroughly enjoy this show!!

Entirely luck based. (0 more)

Good Luck based gateway game...

Here is some decisions to make, but everything depends on the dice. Roll well, win the game, roll poorly = lose.... unfortunately there is very little dice manipulation to change your luck if you don't like it. This game is super simple, and probably good for kids who want to feel a little more adult building a city. But this game could use a number of improvements before being a satisfying game for more gamers.
