Has it been four years since I last posted? Who can say, for is this site not now a ghost? The only known property of ghosts is that the other properties are unknowable. About such a being, what can be said? When there is nothing to say about an entity, surely you wonder why I write about […]

Stanley and Katrina by Felicia Maziarz Review

Daniel Johnston — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 16:21:40 +0000

It’s not often that you get to read a books written by someone who started them when she was nine years old. Even more rare is that they’re actually really good.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Review

Daniel Johnston — Sun, 29 Mar 2015 08:25:47 +0000

John Steinbeck wrote many classic novels, and Of Mice and Men is widely considered to be among his best. The story of two country workers takes readers into another world and explores some powerful themes. I definitely recommend this book, but the fact that it’s rather short doesn’t mean that young people should read it, as […]

An Objective Standard for Books?

Daniel Johnston — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:34:27 +0000

Do books have an objective standard, or are they purely subjective, the only judgment of them up to the reader to decide? Let’s remind ourselves exactly what we mean by objective vs. subjective. If books have an objective standard, then that means they are intrinsically good or bad, regardless of what anyone says about them. […]

Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja Book 1 by Marcus Emerson Review

Daniel Johnston — Sun, 22 Mar 2015 04:47:58 +0000

The concept of Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja by Marcus Emerson is great-a secret ninja clan living right in the midst of an erstwhile normal seeming school.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery is a childhood classic that kids (especially girls) have been voraciously digesting since its release in 1908. But is it still relevant to today’s children?

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame Review

Daniel Johnston — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:57:48 +0000

When a children’s book was praised by none other than sitting US President Theodore Roosevelt, that tells you two things: 1. The book is old. 2. The book is good enough for a President to spend his time reading it, so its got a good chance of being pretty good. The Wind in the Willows […]

Hi everyone, Erik from This Kid Reviews Books has recently brought to my attention that my old email system wasn’t working (thanks!).

Schooled by Gordon Korman Review

Daniel Johnston — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:15:44 +0000

Gordon Korman has made his name writing about funny characters doing even funnier things; and the great things that come out of it. Schooled is one of my favorite books because of its honesty and its total shattering of normal social norms and attitudes, all through the simple love of a modern hippie. Gordon Korman’s books fall […]

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand Review

Daniel Johnston — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:15:21 +0000

Once in a while you read a book that gives a glimpse of the beauty of life. Once a while you read a book that inspires you, that leaves you crying by the end. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (1943) is such a book. Reading it, I felt as if my valuation of man’s greatness […]

Vespers Rising (The 39 Clues) Review

Daniel Johnston — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 11:15:15 +0000

Amy and Dan thought that when the clue hunt was over they could relax and be normal kids again. They thought that when they beat the vicious Isabel Kabra and secured the serum, things were going to be better. So did we. But Scholastic wanted more money. For those who don’t know, The 39 Clues is a […]

Another one of those books kids just eat up, The Big Splash by Jack D. Ferrailo is a hilarious and exciting middle school tale.

What preteen isn’t interested in a book called Middle School Survival? In this great series, Nancy Krulik paints a realistic picture of middle school life.

My favorite childhood author was Gordon Korman. So it was interesting to read one of his most recent books Ungifted, now that I’ve passed the phase of passionate attachment towards his books.
