Landforms by Mary Lindeen is an easy to read book for young readers in the Earth Science series. This book teaches the reader about the science of landforms, and their shapes. It has beautiful color photographs that help the reader to better understand mountains, hills, plateaus, etc. The book will help young readers learn about geography in a fun way in which they will understand. The vocabulary used in the word list is simple and perfect for young readers.

I would love to add this book to my classroom library.

I give this book 4.5/5 stars.

I received this book from Norwood House Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thrilling ride

This isn't a generic crime show and no channel has ever known how to market it. It has the unique blend of well executed action, fascinating narrative, incredible plot and phenomenal acting.
Every season has continued to surprise me and season 3 stepped up massively. Without spoiling - season one and two had the team mostly on the 'number of the week' formula but the stakes get even higher by 3 as other players enter the field. It only climbs from there.
Very layered, very emotional, very much worth your time.

More of the same (timey wimey)

The second book in this trilogy is largely a retelling of the first book. Nick sees some mysterious people, who turn out to be from the future, there is a lot of talk about time travel and parallel universes and there is a heist sequence at the end.
This book was a lot heavier on the pseudo-science and that got a little tiring and head-scratchy at times, with all the talk of paradoxes and whatnot.
This was an enjoyable read, but as with anything time travel related too much creativity and inventiveness can only lead to stretches in plausibility and lengthy justifications for the "science".
