Book Review: 5 Stars to an Enchanting Adventure Story
It is time for Cool Mom to participate in the Kid Lit Blog Hop. Thanks, Cool Mom!
Title: The Princelings of the East
Author : Jemima Pett
Year Published: 2011Description (from Amazon): The Princelings of the East is the first of a trilogy telling of the adventures of Fred and George.
When the King's Birthday feast is ruined by an unnatural power drain, our Princeling heroes leave their scientific experiments to set out in search of answers. They encounter the enigmatic businessman Hugo, the impressive Prince of Buckmore, the wise Lady Nimrod, the irrepressible barkeep Victor, but find themselves threatened by those with vested interests. The scene shifts from a rural, feudal setting to the towers and heights of the curious Isle of Hattan, but where, or when, are they? Time is of the essence in solving this puzzle, and our heroes must keep their wits sharp and their heads clear if they are to survive.
Suitable for good readers aged 8 and over, The Princelings of the East is a fantasy adventure with the charm of the Wind in the Willows in a world reminiscent of Anne MacCaffrey's Pern.
Review: I found myself enchanted by this tale of time traveling guinea pigs. Guinea pigs who find themselves on a quest searching for the cause of an energy drain. Shortly into the story, I identified with George, the engineer, who gains “excitement over a new project., …itching to do something to keep himself busy” when one of his creations has been destroyed.
The charming pencil drawn illustrations by the author, at the beginning of each chapter, are a lovely addition to the text. The combination of the sweet drawings along with the chapter subtitles, often made me smile. My most favorite subtitle was the one found at the start of Chapter 7: "A Close Shave, In which George finds that engineers need people skills more than people need engineering skills" had me laughing out loud.
After reading The Princelings of the East, I felt as if my IQ had gone up a few points with Ms. Pett's vocabulary choices - what refreshing text. This true adventure book which includes a fight, time travel and mysterious strangers is reminiscent of Wind in the Willows - with a twist.
The hero at the end of the story came as a bit of a surprise and everything wrapped up very neatly at the end. The final secret message delivered was a fantastic note to remind us all how important it is to believe in oneself.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to reading the next book in the Princelings series.
Jemima also has a fantastic blog about all of her guinea pigs that has kept my daughter's interest. I have caught her giggling while visiting Ms. Pett's Guinea Pig World.
Katrina - Be sure to tell Zorg about this book. I believe he will enjoy the adventures of George and Fred immensely.
Great News! Jemima's has a fantastic giveaway this month as part of the A to Z blogging challenge. Enter below for a chance to win ALL of her books. She allowed us display her giveaway right here on Stanley & Katrina's blog. Isn't she awesome?
Clean Read? Yes.
Ages: The Amazon description states, "Suitable for good readers aged 8 and over." I would venture to guess that these readers would need to be quite strong due to the great vocabulary used in Pett's book. Ages 10 and up may be more the norm.

Book Review: Fantastic Picture Book with Giveaway!!!
Photo courtesy of AirigamiTitle: And He PuffedAn inflated story of the Three Little Pigs
Authors : Larry Moss & Kelly Cheatle
Publisher: Limited Kickstarter Edition
Year Published: 2013Description (from back cover): Squeal with delight at a classic tale! Artists Larry Moss & Kelly Cheatle breathe new life into the story of the Three Little Pigs with their unique balloon illustrations. Follow the pigs as they work together to learn the merits of a job well done.
Review: First, I need to come clean. I am a recovering balloon artist. It isn't like I need to attend meetings or anything but there are days where I miss creating amazing things out of a piece of latex. Sound crazy? Yep. I've been called that before. No biggie. ANYWAY... almost two years ago, Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle created the Once Upon a Time Kickstarter Project. I happily became one of their sponsors. Take a visit to their site to witness what motivated me at the time.
Great news! The project was fully funded and just this month, I received my two copies of their limited Kickstarter edition book, "And He Puffed." The artistry in the illustrations (do I call them that?) are mind-blowing. My favorite detail is the varied expressions of the pigs throughout the story. The mix of balloons and computer graphic backgrounds make a perfect combination.
We all know the story, so there are no major surprises there. However, this story leaves out the chimney descent and rids the pigs of the wolf in a more fitting manner. The text works very well with narration and rhyming dialogue from the characters.
Below is our favorite page (excuse my poor camera quality).
Actually, my daughter picked these pages out right away as her favorites. I was surprised at first, but then noting the details in this page, I understood. The little houses are teeny tiny balloons inflated with just enough air to pump them up a tad. Beautiful work.
A few of my daughter's friends were over this week and all were drawn to the book just by seeing the cover.
This fun and beautiful picture book easily gets 5 stars out of 5 balloontastic stars from me and I am thrilled to have a copy to give away to one lucky reader. (See below)
Read? Yes.
Ages? All ages.
Where to Purchase the Book: This is the unfortunate part. You cannot purchase this book as of right now. The authors are in talks with publishers and until a deal is worked out, the only copies of this book are the 100 limited edition Kickstarter copies that were made. The super cool news is that yours truly has TWO of these limited edition copies and I'm giving one of them away right here. This is a signed copy of And He Puffed and is open to US and Canadian residents. Yay!!! Join the rafflecopter giveaway below to participate.
Notes: Be sure to visit their website to see the amazing projects they have led and to read about where else you may have seen their work. How many people are able to boast about appearing at the White House, doing a Tedx talk and being a Guinness World Record holder? Mr. Moss can.
