Sassy Pants Learns About Strange Creatures, by Carol A. Brown
Reviewed by Lorilyn Roberts
I too always seem to learn things the hard way, like Sassy Pants. Isn't it like God to use a cute pig in a kid's story to teach me about life. If you are young or young at heart, Sassy Pants will make you laugh a little more and live a little better. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Delaware Detectives
All My Fears Relieved
Dana Rongione
$2.99 eBook
$7.95 Print
ISBN-13: 978-1517527990
About the series:
It all began with a pocket knife which led to a mysterious
inscription which led to a wolf. But there are no wolves in Delaware...or are
there? It's up to the Delaware Detectives to find out.
In book one, Abby and Jamie, along with their friends Scott and Phyllis, followed a trail of tantalizing clues to uncover a hidden fortune.
In book two, the curious siblings embarked on a nearly-impossible mission to find a missing man.
Book three thrusts the detective team into a new mystery they are determined to solve no matter where the clues may lead. But are the kids prepared to discover what's really lurking in the woods of Beaver Valley?
While this book is appropriate for readers of all ages, gender and educational status, it was designed with the homeschool student in mind. To that end, the book contains a Glossary of Terms that can be used in the subject of Spelling and Vocabulary. The author has also included a Science Center, a History Hideout and a special Art Academy--all of which provide valuable insight and activities based on information from within the story itself.

Lisa's Review
Cute addition to the series
Dedicated detectives spending the summer with their
grandfather, Abby and her younger brother Jamie, along with Pop-pop’s neighbors
who have returned from vacation, try to uncover the secret behind the
mysterious howling at the Beaver Valley Cave. The wooden knife Jamie had found
in the last adventure has some kind of writing on it that Abby eventually
interprets. Does the warning mean danger? Could this have anything to do with
the potential commercialization of once beautiful land?
Join the Delaware Detectives to find out. Abby narrates the
quickly paced story as the four adventurers peel away each clue. The author
discretely footnotes vocabulary words and includes local native history as an
added bonus.

Wakulla Book Review: The Newspaper Code by Lisa J. Lickel
The Newspaper Code is the third book of the Buried Treasures
Mystery Series. And once again, there are many treasures buried in the story
waiting for the reader to discover. The story centers around a statue and some
gold that’s missing from the town treasury since the 1860s.
While looking for the gold, we find many more valuable
treasures along the way. The people in the story learn about friendships and
being friendly. They learn to trust, to listen, and to be patient. Ms. Lickel
is able to help us to see our own flaws in a humorous light. Every reader
should be able to connect with at least one of the characters!!
What we fine as we read this is the most important and
valuable treasure of all—Jesus! Through the flawed and bumbling cast, it is
easy to see our imperfections, our limitations and our deep need for a savior
to forgive us and cleanse us. In the end, it is healing and restoring
relationships that matter most, especially over a relationship with God.
Excellent book.

Wakulla Correctional inmates of John 3:16 books.
Inmates are loving the new books from John 3:16 authors.

Wakulla Book Review: Lilting Laments of a Looney Lass by Dana Rongione
A very, very good devotional book. Yes, it was very humorous at times. But for every time you smiled at what you
were reading, there was another big wham coming at you. And you didn't even see it coming. Our Lord gave Ms. Rongione plenty of help to
go with the elements of the book.
If one
should take the time to read the table of contents by itself, you could sit and
think about another story from your own life that would fit right into the
scheme of things that she wrote about.
A good
smattering of saucy humor. The major
problem here is that I personally can totally understand the stories that she
wrote about. And that really scares me.
I was
raised on a farm in upstate New York in the 40's and 50's. There were a lot of the things that she said
in the book that were right out there in the open. Including the God part of the book.
An
excellent undertaking.
