Lucky's Lick, A Story of a Boy in a Wheelchair

Juanito  sits in his wheelchair as other children play.  Just a year before Juanito experienced a terrible accident. 

It’s his special day and the anticipation of a party fills him with thoughts of super heroes and friends to help him celebrate. 

His imagination keeps him occupied as his fascination with nature creates entertainment. 

Find out how Juanito’s party, a prayer, a wish, a present and a lick, can bring a young boy’s dream to life. 

This is a wonderful story of a child who never loses faith, who keeps a positive attitude in the face of disappointment, and makes the best of life in spite of what has happened to him.  It’s a story to touch your heart and to show young children that whatever happens in life, they can always have hope. 

The illustrations by Denis Proulx are bright and engaging.  The author Mary Esparza-Vela has truly written a story to inspire and touch the hearts of children.

I give this book five*****stars for colorful illustrations, a fun story, great emotion and a story I think will delight young children.

This book has been reviewed by Susan Hornbach, author of children’s literature.

A Story of Harship, Grit and Survival

This is a story about a boy named Tommy who lives on a farm with his family. Disaster strikes one day, and him and his brother find themselves shackled on a ship with many other young boys.  They are made to work and fight battles that are not theirs to care about.  They suffer abuse at the hands of scallywags and scruffy men of the sea. 

Powder Monkey will keep you turning the page, as what comes next is always more devastating than the last.  The young boys suffer excruciating treatments, and some are bound to not make it.  The ship becomes home and a young boy who toted black powder bags for battle becomes a…….. Find out what happens to Tommy and his brother.

This is not a book for those who wish for a happy ending, but rather a true grit story about the survival of the fittest. It’s a well written book by Donna McDine, with brilliant illustrations by K.C. Snider.  I give this book five ***** stars.

Magical Mea

 

 "Magical Mea" is the second book in The Magical  Series, written by the award winning author, Penelope Anne Cole.  Mea is Magical Matthew’s sister, but similarities between the two end pretty much there. Mea and her brother have very different ideas about why, when, and how magic should be performed. 

Matthew and his friend Lily go in search of his little sister Mea for fear of what trouble she may get herself into next.  Mea is unconcerned about her brother and is intent on causing a little mischief, just for the fun of it.  She takes a bus ride, plays in the park, pulls a prank on some boys, and a mom and her baby; all the while, Matthew and Lily are on her trail trying to catch up with her before she does something drastic. 

Matthew has always used his magic for good, but Mea has other ideas.  She finds delight in stumping others with her trickery.  In the end Mea finds the true joy in helping others.  She realizes the only reward she needs for her magic is how people are helped by her instinctive talents.  This second book in The Magical Series has life lessons for children.  It’s a fun read, empowering for kids, and will without a doubt hold a child’s interest.

Kevin Collier has brought the book to life with his vivid and attractive illustrations that are sure to delight any young reader.  I give Magical Mea five stars *****and a lollipop!

Angel Donor Named Best Children's Book in the Preditors and Editors Poll of 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America

January 17, 2013 –

Children's author and Editor-in-Chief of My Light Magazine announced her third book, Angel Donor, came in first place for children's books in the 2012 Preditors and Editors Reader's Poll (P&E Poll). "I've been truly humbled by all the support the book received during the polling process," Jennifer Gladen stated.  "I hope this recognition helps spread the word about the book, but more importantly the cause behind the book."

Angel Donor, published by Guardian Angel Publishing and illustrated by Samantha Bell, is a picture book about a little girl in need of a liver transplant. It is based on her daughter who was born with liver disease and needed a transplant. "I wanted to create a book that children in the same situation can identify with," Gladen said. "It had to be a book that explains what the children go through, but ends in hope. I often yearned for a book to read to my daughter when she had questions about her disease."

When Angel Donor had been nominated for the 2012 P&E Poll, Gladen was thrilled. The poll is an Internet poll on books of all categories. It is designed to help authors gain exposure for their work and help readers discover the newest books out there. As taken from the P&E website, "As part of our overall effort to assist and promote writers, we are proud to present the annual Preditors and Editors Reader's Poll".  P&E is also well known for their vigilance in warning authors about publishing scams.
