Elannah and Sam have just enjoyed a wonderful evening with their parents, watching fireworks. They are snug in their beds and sleeping.
They are now, in their dreams, on their new bikes and racing through the sky to meet up with their friend Rodger the Badger. Rodger informs them of a fireworks display being put on by the Great Wizard Grumphspawn, the best ever seen.
We are treated to the display in wonderful prose. Through the mind of a child, you can envision the beautiful displays taking place for the crowd that has gathered.
The story is complete with a love of family, with each child displaying many emotions, especially love and kindness toward each other and others. This is definitely a positive story with great adventure and well worth the read. You will be captivated by the descriptive language and the true emotions portrayed.
The drawings by Sean Noonan's young daughter are very well done and encompass the story well.
I will look forward to the next installments and the new adventures of Elannah & Sam.

This book was sent to me from Bestsellersworld for review.
Haven Moore is living in Snope City, Tennessee with her widowed mother and her very controlling grandmother in her grandmother's very stately home. She is an outcast at school and creates beautiful dresses for her classmates with her best friend, Beau, who is also kind of an outcast, as he is gay.
Haven has experienced fainting spells since she was 4 years old. During these spells, she relives a past life as Constance. She is in love with Ethan in her spells.
Haven discovers that her father had been writing down and researching things for himself about reincarnation and the Outoboros Society in New York. The Society helps those that have experienced past lives bring talent and good things to the world.
Haven leaves her small town and goes to New York to find her past love. She finds him and the Society. Things from there in this book get extremely muddy.
We follow Haven as she finds her past love and tries to understand the Society that is supposed to help those who have experienced past lives. Unfortunately, life does not always run smoothly, and we find that there is evil in all forms.
I found the book to be well-written, just that at certain points it got fuzzy. You were never too sure if people were good, bad or just indifferent. Thought the book could have been a little less complicated.

Jeri Devlin is being fired from her job as an advertising executive for Dore' Advertising Agency in California. Her brother has been missing for 5 months, and her heart is really with him.
She goes to New York and installs herself in the same room that he was in when he disappeared. She tries the bed massager and wakes up in 1929.
She adjusts well to living in that era and falls in love with a gentleman who has quite a reputation, Lex Rose. They have their tribulations, but Jeri is definitely in love.
This novel was very well researched and was a pretty fun read. The descriptions of the life style and the clothing were fantastic.
You definitely know that Jeri is from our time, as she thinks and acts more independent than the women of the era she is visiting. Really fun to compare the old times with all of the changes that the world has gone through since that era.
