He’s sent back to earth in the body of his K-9 partner to help a troubled teenager and his dysfunctional family.

Can a selfish man find a heart? You bet, he just has to become a dog first.

The Viking’s Apprentice by Kevin McLeod

What would you do if you discovered nothing was as you thought, and the fate of your friends, perhaps even the world was in your hands?

That’s the reality Peter must face in this award-winning middle Grade adventure, The Viking’s Apprentice.

Campbell’s Cove is a small town surrounded in mystery and intrigue. The history of the Cove tells us of dragons, trolls, goblins and the evil Master who stole children, livestock and, strangest of all, eggs from the Cove every year. Aided by the hideous monster, Tolldruck there seemed no stopping their evil plan.

That was until, centuries ago, a Viking warrior came to Campbell’s Cove and vowed to rid it of all evil, and claim the prize offered by the mysterious church elders. The Viking succeeded and everything returned to normal. The evil was gone, and Campbell’s Cove was safe again… Until now.

Voted #1 ‘Smart Novels to Read Your Kids’

When Peter and George visit Peter’s Granddad’s amazing mansion in Campbell’s Cove for the summer holidays they had no idea it would change their lives forever. Deep beneath them in the caves of the Cove an evil has returned, an evil which threatens to destroy everything they believed to be true about the world.

Peter must learn who he really is, and what he must do to save the children of the Cove. Together with George and his Granddad they go on an adventure that reveals secrets, test friendships and confronts their biggest fears. Can Peter save the children? Can the Master be stopped? Find out in The Viking’s Apprentice.

ThePrincelingsoftheEastThe Princelings of the East by Jemima Pett

The first book of the Princelings of the East series introduces us to Princelings George and Fred.  Imagine them scurrying around the castle using secret passages, carrying out scientific experiments that occasionally blow up in their faces, or quaffing ale at their favourite tavern. 

But there is trouble in their world.  They may not use much energy, but when they do, it is usually for important occasions.   Energy draining to a halt to ruin the King’s Birthday celebrations is enough to send the king at Castle in the Marsh into a rage, and demand that everyone cease and desist from using it.  George’s latest machine is destroyed; their world looks to be falling apart.  So who better to go and solve the problem of this energy drain than the Princelings themselves?

Leaving the security of their Castle is a big step into the unknown for these boys, and they soon meet strangers, some of whom are stranger than others.  Who to trust?  Prince Lupin, so suave and sophisticated, with so many hangers-on fawning at his feet?  The businessman, Hugo, who seems so smooth and worldly, yet has an air of deceit about him?  The young barkeeper, Victor, always bustling around and never bothering to string a sentence together when three words will do, unless for royalty?  And that’s just Fred’s problem, since he has irritatingly lost touch with George in the darkness of the strange tunnel that appeared from nowhere in the corner of their room.

Meanwhile George seems to have been transported to another world, full of hustle, bustle and shining towers.  Where, or when, is he?  How come these strangers know so much more about his reputation than he does himself?  And will he manage to escape being thrown into a dungeon or killed by an assassin?

It’s the sequel to my first book, Prince of Alasia. I wanted to take a look at what was happening elsewhere in the kingdom at the same time as Prince Jaymin’s adventures and answer some of the questions readers might have at the end of that book.

Alasia-Cover-149x220Twelve-year-old Prince Jaymin, heir to the throne of Alasia, barely escapes with his life when invaders from neighboring Malorn attack. Accompanied by Erik, his young bodyguard and friend, Jaymin flees to a nearby town to live in hiding. There, coming face to face with the hardships suffered by the poor, he determines to improve his people’s lives someday when he takes the throne, assuming he can reclaim his kingdom.

In his struggle to retain his identity and yet blend in with children in the local school, Jaymin’s life depends on his ability to protect his secret from both enemy troops and unsuspecting townsfolk. Meanwhile, Erik must resort to his skills in unarmed combat to defend Jaymin against everyone from a gang of schoolyard bullies to the Malornians who regularly patrol the streets looking for trouble – and for the missing prince.

As the search intensifies and his enemy’s suspicions grow, Jaymin seeks desperately for a way to save his kingdom and himself. Then he stumbles upon a startling discovery that will challenge his assumptions and forever change his view of Malorn and the events that altered his life.

Chase Tinker and the House of Magic (The Chase Tinker Series, Book 1) by Malia Ann Haberman @malia_ann

By Fiction Hideaway Curator Leave a Comment

chasetinker
In this delightful middle-grade thriller, 13-year-old Chase and his younger brother Andy learn family secrets from their grandfather about their family’s magical heritage – and seek to find out the truth about whatever happened to their missing father.

“Haberman’s story is filled with clever and funny magical details which will definitely capture the imaginations of Middle Grade readers. The “House of Magic” is an amazing place, with magical rooms, floating staircases, and endless spaces to explore . . . and seemingly endless ways kids can get into trouble! At the house, Chase and Andy learn to perfect their own magical powers. They also learn the history of their family, the Tinkers, who have battled a Dark Enemy for generations; always fighting to preserve the mysterious “Relic” that holds the key to their magic.

This novel is appropriate for readers aged 10-14. There is no inappropriate language, and while there is an element of violence and heavy doses of suspense, I found nothing objectionable. There is a hint of romance between Chase and Persephone, but no overt sexuality. I see this as the kind of novel that both boys and girls will embrace, which is rare for children’s literature. It’s well-written, professionally edited, and tightly plotted. I recommend it highly.” — Amazon reviewer.
