mmgm 1 comment the mystery of the stolen world cup trophy posted on may 3 2026 by greg pattridge in north america we call it soccer but the rest of the world knows this sport as football coming up this summer is the 23rd fifa world cup hosted by cities in the u s canada and mexico until then this fast paced mystery is one to enjoy for fans of mystery and an endearing cast of characters sixth grader diez espada recently lost his mother to cancer time spent with her instilled a love of detective stories and trying out his own developing detective skills in his home town of miami florida his father is a huge soccer fan and hopes he and his son can share the same passion chasing clues seems to be the direction diez would prefer when he and dad are invited to a party to celebrate the upcoming world cup the prized trophy is stolen now diez must race to find the trophy and prove he is more than just a nosy kid helping him are an older girl which he has a secret crush on and a world famous detective who is there to solve the mystery it s one night of secret tunnels and creating his own suspect list he actually discovers who the guilty person is before anyone else but time is not on his side to catch this thief before he she escapes great mysteries like this one will have you guessing and re guessing along with the main characters my guess was wrong as the real culprit had quite the cover regardless the story was page turning with diez s first person narration along the way readers learn about the sport and the world wide adoration of its stars the mystery of the stolen world cup trophy has 20 chapters and by book s end you will be hoping for more detective work by this memorable boy sleuth pages 240 book birthday may 5 2026 five more things to like about the mystery of the stolen world cup trophy by angela cervantes the dialogue between the characters was a favorite especially the exchanges between diez and 8th grader rio diez is still grieving the loss of his mother but it doesn t overwhelm the story it helps that his dad is still supportive other books with a parent death often have the remaining parent offering little support to their child as they are deep in their own grief you don t have to be a soccer fan to enjoy this plot yes you will learn about the sport and it s famous past but the real engagement comes from the mystery the history of the world cup was fascinating as the cup actually was stolen twice in the past yes kids often see details adults miss as was on displayed here diez could become the next great kid detective like those hardy boys in the past about the author angela cervantes is the award winning author of popular children s novels like lety out loud which was a 2020 pura belpré honor book her other books include the

comments the endless game posted on may 1 2026 by greg pattridge it s 1998 in this new graphic novel and fred townsend is on the move again his dad s job has them relocating often and this time it s lakeside illinois fred is always the new kid what makes lakeside different is the capture the flag game that has been played since 1923 between two parts of the city fred is recruited and discovers the competition to be quite intense a panel of home schooled kids monitor the rules there are jails elaborate home bases for each group while everyone tries to not get tagged the excitement ends each day as jails release the captured kids to return home to their families the adults stand back and reminisce about their time in the game fred tries to fit in but realizes his family probably won t stay here for long he wishes they would dialog panels are often filled with a lot of text those just getting into middle grade reading might want to read some simpler graphic novels before returning to this one established readers will forge ahead and be totally absorbed with the competition the ending makes the journey even more fulfilling the graphics are nicely done with the wide eyed expressions on each character s face enhancing the story line the endless game most of all is about friendship and realizing that being a kid sets the stage for the adult version of yourself book

nightmarish creatures and creepy happenings it would be best to start with the beginning of the series so you aren t thrown into this world without any knowledge of the characters or setting the nowhere beast has ix tatterfall back for year 2 at candle corps academy her best friends also return morrigan is part nightmare while ollie is a big lover of books they are a memorable group ix s parents exist in the labyrinth of souls mom is death the soul reaper and dad is the melancholy of regret it gets even stranger back at the academy where there are even more nightmares and ghosts lurking the main push of the plot comes from the dangers facing the magical school with a monster that is hiding in someone s shadow and numerous other unexpected events ix is an endearing protagonist and her emotional journey is the highlight of the story she s brave in her quest to find out the truth to what is happening at the school it you love books with magical schools as the setting then look no further there is a 4 page glossary of nightmares in the back pages that will help in giving one a head start before diving into chapter 1 the nowhere beast has a winning formula for fantasy fans with loads of magical world building readers will be hoping the series continues book birthday february 10 2026 pages 304 five more things to like about the nowhere beast by leslie vedder finding yourself wanted positively by others is an internal challenge that many face ix knows there are many students and adults who would rather see her leave the school she pushes forth and the decisions she makes will have you cheering at the result mostly small illustrations appear throughout they are a nice inclusion as they help you visualize the characters and scary scenes even better the many secondary characters add even more appeal smiles a giant smiling cat returns and new faces like the scavenger prince and the hoodwinkler nightmare are ones you will enjoy now i know where my lost keys are there s a realm called nowhere where everything separated from the original owners can be found you can t really go there but the place adds to the unique overall setting the spooky scenes shouldn t be overwhelming for the intended reading audience they keep you entertained and constantly wondering what will happen next about the author leslie vedder she her is a queer ace author who loves girl adventurers and heroes she grew up on fantasy books anime fanfiction and the lord of the rings movies and met her true love in high school choir she currently lives in colorado with her wife and her
