I love reviewing books but some of my favorite books for review are the ones I can share with my kiddos and get them involved in the review process. So whenever I get a children’s book to review, I preview it first to make sure it aligns with our standards, and once that is done and is approved by this mama I introduce it to the kids. As soon as the kids saw the cover of this book they were intrigued and wanted to know more about it. It definitely kept them entertained during our morning read aloud time. They hated that the end of the chapters leave you into a cliffhanger, but I for one loved that since it kept them wanting more!

This is definitely a great book for boys who love adventures! It has bad guys and good guys, family time, gold mines, adventures and even a military tank! My kids were definitely enthralled with the story and enjoyed every minute of it. They can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

As a mom I am looking for good books for my kids. We are pretty conservative in our beliefs so finding good books that align with that is getting harder and harder nowadays but then comes along an author I have not heard of before and my faith is restored, because there are good books for kids out there, we just have to dig a little harder.

This is a very clean book and filled with a classic adventure that will remind you of the western movies of old times. I highly recommend this not only as a read aloud but definitely for kids ages 8 and up! My kids give it a quadruple thumbs up!

I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

My grandson was able to read with assistance from an adult, one page read by each with explanations in some words for clarity. Overall they both enjoyed the action packed book very much and looking forward to the next volume.

“I sent my niece and nephew several books for summer reading. This has been the favorite of both kids. The little intro video on the authors web site set the stage and they loved it. Appropriate for all kids, just good fun. One child is a slightly slower reader but the story was compelling and kept them engaged. Highly recommend.”

“We bought the first four books in this series and just had to buy more. This series is more than great! It should be on every bookshelf for any kid who loves adventure. This is the real deal and my grandson and I have been reading the series and are now into ‘Secret Agents Don’t Like Broccoli’. There’s no doubt that these books are classics and written far and away above most. First of all, the high standards and mannerisms of the kids are uplifting – not your typical lewd cartoon characters. The individuals are well developed and fun. Good laughs and hair-raising events pepper the stories throughout and the author is noticeably well versed and experienced in the essentials and technicalities of good writing. It’s a real pleasure to find books of such caliber for children today. Thanks to the author and hope to see a continuing stream of books.”

“My kids are very much into action and adventure books. We have read the entire series together during family reading time. They have loved all of them and now can not wait for the author to write more. These books are full of tasty little tidbits of true information including some historical references and accurate STEM information applied to situations in the book. I loved these for my kids.
“My kids are 6 so this was a little bit older for them but since we read as a family it worked out well. It’s appropriate for multiple ages and the older kids around 10 or 11 will love these to read on their own.”

My 8 or old daughter has not been interested in reading until… this book. I started by reading it aloud to her. By the third chapter she wanted to read by herself. She took the book everywhere she went and finished in a week. This is what I found on my pillow today:)! [“Mom I finished the book today. Can I have the next one please. Love you] She’s quickly going through the 2nd book. And now picks up other books to read with excitement! Awesome, fun and engaging series! Highly recommend!!!

Buzzyflight — “Outstanding Kid Series!”

“I normally don’t review books on here unless highly impressed! So many children’s books today are such a poor excuse for literature – poor plots, undeveloped characters, even poor spelling and use of english. What a delight to find a highly qualified author, Greg Smith and to finally find a series that are uplifting, well written and adventurous!” (5-Stars, Amazon Review, November 10, 2020)

“I have a kid who can’t read enough and a kid who can’t find anything she likes to read. They both loved this book. My girls are 10. I wish I could’ve bought this books series in a box set.” (5-Stars, Amazon Review for The Treasure of the Lost Mine, August 29, 2020)
