Cian James read and liked Ted's review of Fledgling: Jason Steed:

"Highly recommended for tweens and teens, or anyone who likes Indiana Jones movies. "Fledgling, A Jason Steed Adventure" is a British action/adventure story featuring the multi-talented 11yo Jason Steed. It's a tale of friendship, loyalty,...more Highly recommended for tweens and teens, or anyone who likes Indiana Jones movies. "Fledgling, A Jason Steed Adventure" is a British action/adventure story featuring the multi-talented 11yo Jason Steed. It's a tale of friendship, loyalty, bravery, military duty, hardship, heroism, father love, and personal loss. Jason is a blond, blue-eyed super kid. A karate brown belt at age 5, he holds advanced belts in karate and jujitsu by age 11. Brought up in Hong Kong, he speaks Chinese among other languages. Despite his small size, his prodigious talents in the martial arts stand him in good stead as he gets involved in one scrape after another -- all of them learning experiences. But "Fledgling" is more than a bloody adventure story (and there's lots of blood). Jason must come to grips with his military father's own problems and prolonged absences. Jason is helped along by his faithful friend, Scott, who teaches him how to speak to grownups, as well as the royal princess whom he falls for big-time. The climax of the novel is a real whizz bang! Note to American readers: the author is English, so when he says "He landed on the floor" it typically means "He landed on the ground!"

Cian James read and liked a piece of writing titled "Christmas in California" by Jared Kessler

"I met and elf wearing a santa suit in California
he stood three feet tall
painted pictures outside a wall of faces
of all places he could be
he stood there right in front of me.
