Very cute and worth the price. Has two places for cards to be stored along with the long slot that you can place cash. Worth the money

First the business, I received a free copy of the book after I entered a Goodreads drawing. I was prejudiced by the fact that one of the main characters shares a name with my daughter.
This book paints some really great scenery. I felt a part of the group, in the world walking with the band of adventures, and personally experiencing the wonders for myself.
The book starts out with seven adventures chosen to go on a quest. It was pretty typical quest fantasy stuff. As the book progresses the quest fantasy road map is left behind.
Religion is the main theme of the book. Kiran's quest to find God's voice and his doubts is similar to what many people of faith go through. Many of the faiths explored in the book are recognizable (as are the geographic locations featured in the book.
The book defiantly has some dark parts and may not be for everyone. It was a good book and I enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to the sequels.

An adventure not unlike James Bond or Jason Bourne. All the elements one likes to encounter in a suspenseful novel.

An adventure worth reading again. The book starts off slow and I was asking myself if I should continue reading? I followed my gut feelings and continued reading and was surprised that the plot was getting to a point that is keeping me interested and wandering as to what will be happening next. A good mixture of adventure, intensity and some humor.

This is a story with all sorts of unexpected surprises lurking behind every corner, some seeming harmless at first. . .but looks can be deceiving.

Kyle is pulled into the adventure of a lifetime the minute the first chapter begins. Concerned about his all of a sudden disappeared mom, he leaps through a portal with his pet cat, Bootles, only to discover that life is not what it seems. He's in over his head in a galactic man hunt. . .or cat hunt.

Kyle is a fun kid, who takes things pretty well in stride. His thoughts and actions are completely understandable even when danger abounds. There's friendship and trust among the quirkiness, as this book head starts a series which is sure to be a lot of fun. And who knows where it will take Kyle next. But the character who really catches the attention is Bootles. Not only is the story sometimes told from his point of view, but who doesn't love a talking cat?

There are so many interesting and fun alien creations, from Battle Droids to Krankens and more. Each one is well described and exactly the kind of things readers will wish they got a chance to see for themselves. The illustrations sprinkled in between are an added bonus, which I always love to see in literature for this age group.

There isn't much time to stop for breathers because Kyle and Bootles have their hands full, and when Sophia joins the picture, the action really gets under way. If you're looking for character depth or lots of thought, this won't be the book for you but is rather something for adventure fans who love a fantastical, wild ride.

Summed up: This is an action packed, alien adventure for readers ages 8 to around 10. It's an easy, short read, and will especially appeal to more reluctant readers.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is fantastic.  The author takes the reader along on a great adventure.  I felt like I was with him every step of the way and at the same time my feeling for adventure in my future was rekindled.
This book and story is for anybody that has enjoyed, either vicariously or in the first person, adventures of mountain climbing, long tour bicycle riding, going to new places, or just excitement in life.
The story also gives a picture of daily life and of those that exist and those that do, with neither being right or wrong. There is something in this book for everybody.

Its the first book to a series of this Flying Detective Agency that promises a lot of adventures and mysteries to solve.

The story of this young girl is inspiring and full of adventure.
It allows you to travel long distances and discover incredible curiosities about a place or a time in history, all this without leaving your seat.

The landscapes of Alaska and Canada that are pictured on the book seems to be a wonderful view and the old boat and the ancient curse adds that intriguing flavor that any adventure book should have.

The book has fun, action-packed and adrenaline-filled scenes that give the plot a refreshing twist.
Even the images that Iain added to the book are fantastic!

I would recommend it to people who loves fun-facts and curiosities. To people who likes flying and independent lead characters.

Hargrove has written a great adventure story that takes the reader to the high finance and fashion of New York to the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. It is a hard book to put down. There are some interesting surprise twists and the main character is an affable fellow that you enjoy spending time with. Grady is a financier with a big heart and a sense of fun that will sweep you into his dream of rebuilding an old boat and cruising the Caribbean. But neither the sea nor Grady's life stay calm for very long. Lots of action and authentic characters make an engrossing read.

"Red Sky Morning" by Andrew J Rafkin takes you a a real life summer adventure of a 17 year just coming of age.  This is the first book by Rafkin that I have read an I found it enjoyable and interesting.  It is about a teenager spending the summer with his father on a commercial fishing expedition that takes him on an adventure that he will never forget.

The story also gives you elements of a young man and his liaisons with several females so romance is included.  It is not just about the water.

As Andrew bonds with his father he finds that the ocean is very dangerous and weather unpredictable.  They have to battle hurricane winds and storms as well as delays in ports.  The trip gives him an insight on what his father has to deal with on these fishing expeditions and a new found respect for him and his profession.

The story has romance, adventure and father and son bonding.  It is worth the read.

This book is a great. Adventure story. The plot is a bit off of center  but that adds to the unbelievably of the story. The main character,Luke, and his sidekick Ed are a good fun team to lead you through this FAST moving story.

Where Sea Meets Sky is a story full of adventure, uncertainty, courage, and beauty. Artist Josh Miles throws caution to the wind to follow his heart and free his soul. Gemma Henare is simultaneously searching for herself and running away from life. The primary setting is in New Zealand and it becomes clear early on that Halle knows her way around the country. The scenes are described in great detail and from what feels like an artists perspective befitting Josh and Gemma both.

The second quarter of the story feels more like of a travel diary than a romance novel, which is fine, but I would have liked the people to take precedence over location. I love hearing about all of the sites and adventures but I wanted to see more development in the plot. The plot picked back up around the halfway point and I was able to invest myself more. Overall, this is a relaxing story with a few speed bumps but no road blocks, much like Josh and Gemmas adventure. The settings are stunning and inspiring and the characters are beautifully flawed and real.

A fantastic adventure - full of mystery, action, and excitement. I highly recommend this story for both boys and girls, and for adults who love a good story. There are a handful of instances where the wrong word is used which interrupted the story flow as I stopped to make sense of the sentence (the/they, we/I etc) these would not show up as typos in a spell check, but could be easily fixed. Imaginative settings, likeable characters, and an interesting storyline kept me happily turning the pages.

This adventure story about 12 year old Danny, his little sister Melinda, and his friend Chip will keep young readers engaged until the end. There is plenty of adventure and mystery. Danny leads the other two to try to solve the mystery of the Wanderers. Were there really people who had been band to live under ground. Were they still there? Were they the reason houses were sinking into the earth? Was Uncle Albert right? All these questions are answered as the trio descends in through a cave and find another world deep in the earth. The writing gives a good visual picture without bogging you down in detail. The language is at the right level. Dannys sister, Melinda, is talented and gifted; she likes to use words others might not know to showoff. This book shows the importance of reading and demonstrates overcoming your fears. It is a great adventure story.
