The NOLO: Flood in the Desert by Liz Fahey (Book Spotlight)

A flash flood. Two kids in danger. A cry for help only a NOLO can hear.

Meet the NOLO.

Standing 82 feet tall and weighing 45 tons, Adam is a massive Desert NOLO. But even giants can get overwhelmed—especially when they live near five of the most popular national parks. Desperate for backup, he calls his friend Izzy.

In Flood in the Desert, the second book in the award-winning NOLO series, Izzy—a jungle NOLO—arrives eager to help. But just as she gets there, Adam rushes off to answer a distress call, leaving her alone in a strange, dry world.

Two days pass. Adam is still missing. Izzy, now lost and thirsty in the desert, is starting to panic. That’s when she hears it:
“NOOOOLLLOOOO!”

THUMP… thump, thump!

Can Izzy reach the children in time? Will she ever find Adam? Or is everything about to slip away?

Steel Horizons by Lamar Golden and Liana Golden (Book Spotlight)

 

The Ashlands were never meant to be conquered. Ravaged by war and poisoned by time, this vast wasteland was the last stronghold of the machines—a relentless force threatening humanity’s survival. For the Pacific Union fleet, battered and weary from countless battles, there is no choice but to fight. Failure means extinction.

Akira Tanaka, Maile Kaulani, and Kento Mori have led their crews through impossible odds, dismantling the machines’ network node by node. But with every victory comes heavier losses, and the final push tests the limits of their strength, resolve, and unity. As they venture into the heart of the machines’ fortress, where every step could be their last, the cost of survival becomes painfully clear.

Set against a backdrop of steampunk-inspired technology, relentless action, and haunting landscapes, Steel Horizons is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding human spirit. Will the fleet endure, or will the Ashlands claim their last hope?

Bunny – Inspired by Lulu

(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique) 

 

Bunny and Fawn are back, embarking on an exciting adventure to solve a great mystery: what creature lurks in the forest? Put your thinking caps on and join them on this thrilling journey!

The story begins by giving readers a recap of The Adventures of Bunny and Fawn, explaining how the friends came to live close to a brown bear named Bear. The three animals loved being neighbors. The drawing of Bear playfully tossing Bunny into the water was both cute and funny, and so was the one where Bear tossed the “creature” into the water, too.

The creature’s identity was a great mystery. I had an idea of what it was going to be before opening the book, but I was in for a surprise. Have your child or class guess its identity and see if their guess is correct. Ask your audience if they have heard of the mysterious creature’s name before, and then explain its meaning. It’s not a simple, common name like ‘Bunny’ and ‘Bear.’ (No spoilers.)

The Adventures of Bunny and Fawn beautifully illustrate why it is crucial not to make assumptions about someone. Instead of judging someone by how they look, take a moment to get to know them. You might learn something new or even make a new friend!

Join Bunny, Fawn, and Bear as they embark on a quest to discover who left the hoof prints, made the strange noises, and also had glowed like a flashlight in the night. Laugh as you watch Bear poke his head out from a fall-colored tree top and see Bunny holding tight to Fawn’s neck as they poke their heads out from the middle of a bush.

Great mystery. Funny illustrations. This story is sure to be a hit with family and educators. It did have a couple of hard-to-read spots, but other than that, it was picture-perfect and very entertaining.

Recommended reading age is 3 to 8 years.
