"Tamar & PJ: One Giant Adventure" by Mark Geatches is a highly enjoyable book. Although it is geared toward middle grade readers, I (as an adult) found it action-packed and engaging. Both main characters (Tamar and PJ) are realistic and well-drawn. I especially enjoyed reading the giant's perspective and learning more about his life, technology, and Bigfoot-related antics.

Review by Jessica Secrest
This story is so much fun. The first chapter pulls you in and makes you want to read it. PJ and his dog are out raking the leaves. There is a song on the breeze. Brutus runs off to investigate, but comes running back to PJ with his tail between his legs. PJ goes into the house and doesn't finish his chores. The song lures him back into the woods.

A Great Read for Any Science Fiction Fan Out There
Fun, fantastic, and full of adventure, Mark E. Geathches’s Tamer and PJ: One Giant Adventure is a great, fast-paced read for anyone who is looking for a good, complex, science fiction story with engaging characters and references to popular culture such as Star Trek, Malcolm in the Middle, and Elvis Presley.

I love books that surprise me. When I first starting reading this book about an adventurous 14-year-old boy and mythical creatures, I had wondered how interesting it could be to me, a 34-year-old stay-at-home mom. I am so glad I didn’t go with my first instinct because I was instantly transported to an unknown world of adventure that was so fun and engaging! Even with jokes that would be of more interest to young boys (regarding Star Trek or passing gas), I still found myself enjoying the conten

This is the perfect book for a teen/YA. Tamar and PJ’s adventure held many twists (that I did not see coming) and it kept you guessing what would come next. The author described the areas and scenes in a great detail so you could visualize the characters and what was happening the entire book. I could literally visualize every step they were taking and, in my mind, see what they saw.

The giant becomes a very likeable character. A valuable lesson learned in this adventure is that sometim

The story of Tamar and PJ is captivating, fun, and most definitely different from your typical heroic duos. The heroic ventures the two go on creates a unique friendship between man and giant. The two fight against long odds to defeat the terrifying vorteh race that threatens human peace and existence. Though the story is told from multiple viewpoint, which typically isn't my favorite style, I could still not put the book down. The fact that it is told from multiple viewpoints gives a comprehens

When I received a review request for this book I went back and forth about it a bit. While I do like retelling, and this one is kind of a ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ retelling, I just wasn’t completely sold. I decided to try it and now here I am posting a review!
Tamar and PJ: One Great Adventure is filled with excitement and fun. I enjoyed the writing most of the time but, sometimes it felt somewhat confusing because of the different perspectives.

I have been trying to get through this book for a few weeks now. I’m never able to get very far in before I get bored. This just wasn’t something I wasn’t interested in. It was very slow and I found it boring. I wasn’t able to make it all the way through. It wouldn’t be fair for me to give it a review or rating based on the small amount I didn’t end up reading.

Mark began writing fiction in 2010. What began as an experiment quickly became a labor of love. Writing allows him an outlet for his unpredictable imagination, as well as an excuse to spend even more of his time listening to music. Mark finds music and writing the perfect mental connection; the nexus of focus and inspiration.
