📚Thanks to author Jennifer Strain @jenniferstrain for the review copy of The Forgotten Lands Book 1- Dragon Island and advance copy of Book 2- Stormy Mountain @theforgottenlands_books ~ Illustrated by Chiari Civati @chiaricivati ~All reviews are my own. Follow #kidlitexchange to read more reviews❤ ⭐The main character Sadie finds some curious items in the attic that belong to her grandfather. She soon discovers they come from a secret world that you enter using a magical map and golden apple seeds! Both stories take place on the family apple orchard and the adventures include her cousins Finn and Nora. ⭐In Dragon Island (released Jan 2018) they help a King and Queen get rid of a dragon who is eating up the books in the royal library! I won't spoil the ending but at one point they get crafty and you learn how to make your own paint! ⭐In Stormy Mountain (releasing May 2018!) they head back to the forgotten lands to help some colorful Sprites (they remind me of Rainbow Brite!) fix their weather machine. You will pick up weather vocabulary and learn about weather tools such as a Galileo thermometer and barometer as they solve the problem! ⭐These light hearted adventures are a combination of Magic Tree House and Saturday morning cartoons. There is a focus on family, friendship, teamwork, problem solving, and knowledge through literacy. With a bits of adventure, humor, and magic- you finish the story with a smile and hope for more. ⭐You can order these directly through the Forgotten Lands website or locate the books on Amazon.
