A engaging, action-packed addition to the world with lots of fun, new creatures and animals. Would make a great book to read out loud to kids before bed.

Amphibians' End (A Kulipari Novel #3) by Trevor Pryce

This is the 3rd & final (?) volume in the Kulipari trilogy. I have to be honest: this is a flawed series, mostly but its truly awful puns & wordplay. But is is written for a younger audience that might be amused by that rather than annoyed. This final volume does have a genuinely thrilling & suspenseful ending. On the whole, the series comes off better visually than literarily, so it makes sense Netflix is releasing an animated version ("Kulipari: An Army of Frogs) in September.

The Rendering: The CyberSkunk Files by Joel Naftali

Doug Solomon is being hunted for murder but he's only a kid. He has to stay away from the cops to help solve the "murder" and to keep the world from being destroyed by Roach and his henchmen. To help him he has his best friend and neighbor Jamie, 3 skunk people, and his "cyber" aunt. How will they stop this madman?

This was fun! I liked the style of the writing. It was different. I love first person point of view and Doug's voice is a hoot at times. He is a gamer and will be more than happy to explain how games work and how you can win but, of course, he is often interrupted by his aunt so he'll stick to the story. I liked the creativity of the story. I hope there are more books to come. Totally fun read.… (more)

An Army of Frogs: A Kulipari Novel by Trevor Pryce

This was better than I was expecting and I found myself turning the pages, not only for the action (of which there is plenty), but also for the hero's quest and dreams. Can we truly ever hope to be more than we are? What are our dreams worth? What are we capable of and can we live beyond the limitations put on us by others? Does the stuff of amphibians get any more existential than this?
