The Thief and the Beanstalk by P.W. Catanese
September 1, 2016 by ·
An interesting continuation of the famous tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” The story is full of suspense and action. I will admit that there are corners of disappointment and sadness.

Michael Reviews The Smoking Mirror by David Bowles

This is the best book I’ve ever read! I like the Mexican history, folklore and mythology throughout the book. The book also brings out sympathy, fear, joy and sadness in you, which is a thing not a lot of authors can do. The writing is very descriptive. Johnny is my personal favorite character for his […]
