Book Review | Going Solo by Roald Dahl #mmgm #booksky Going Solo, by Roald Dahl, is the second part of the famous children’s author’s autobiography (after Boy). I usually only review books on my own website, but I ran out of space for reviews in 2025. It has a connection to my father’s world, so I posted it on his memoir site White Water Landings on 6 Dec 25.

Book Review | Yertle the Turtle #mmgm #booksky Yertle the Turtle was added to my TBR in desperation as I searched for a title beginning with Y for my Alphabet Soup reading challenge. You may find it hard to believe, but I had never before read anything by Dr, Seuss. He may be the mainstay of children’s stories in the US, but I was well past that age before his work crept into British bookshops and libraries, so all my knowledge of the Cat in that Hat, Horton and Whoville, have all come to me third hand, often through quiz questions!

Book Review | The Shadow of the Shifting Sands (Shadows from the Past #18) #mmgm #booksky The Shadow of the Shifting Sands comes after a slight hiatus in the fabulous Shadows from the Past series by Wendy Leighton-Porter. I've read them all, in order, and it's worthwhile doing so, since the time travelling twins, their friend and cat, the superstar Max, start in pre-history and work their way forward. The underlying theme is the search for the twins' parents, believed killed in a car crash.

Book Review | Daniel Boone and Me #mmgm #booksky Daniel Boone and Me is by Noelle A Granger, who writes a range of books including impeccably detailed American settler histories, and thrilling (adult) crime novels starring the great Rhe Brewster (as N A Granger). This is her latest, a settler story suitable for older middle grades, especially those wanting to know more about real life in the revolutionary times. I received an ARC of this book from the author.
