I wanted to bring you a new children’s book that John Carpenter presents called Storm Kids Fetch Book One: The Journey (FETCH TP) I received in exchange for this review from the Author and Voracious Readers. Inside this book is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the links inside the post. would like to ask you to check out the press release for book two in the series FETCH Book Two: The Rescuesails
FETCH Book Two: The Rescuesails is a young children’s book but adults would enjoy the story as well. This book reminds me of the graphic novels Charlie reads. Suspense and drama with gun illustrations keeps both adults and children alike. I liked knowing the main character is 12 years old. It is sad as Danny is getting over the grief of his dog.
Then he meets a new teacher and a new book with Greek Mythology which would have been a wonderful homeschool if Charlie hadn’t graduated. I will be sharing this book with my niece Lilly and my nephew Jason. Just like younger brothers Danni’s younger brother follows him around causing havoc.
About the book:
John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids: FETCH BOOK ONE: THE JOURNEY
Danni is twelve years old and struggling to get over the loss of her dog, Pirate, when a new teacher and an old school book reveal to her the world of Greek mythology. Danni stumbles across an illustration that looks familiar enough for her to leave the house in the dead of night and seek out what she thinks could be the gate to Hades, the Greek Underworld, and perhaps a way to bring her dog back to the land of the living.
What she didn’t expect was her younger brother, Sammy, to tag along or that once in the Underworld she’d need a guide… and two 21st century kids on a quest to save their dead dog was the last thing Odysseus was expecting. Adventuring in the Underworld since the fall of Troy he’s the last of his kind – a true Hero – but with enemies leaping on them at every turn and monsters and gods to overcome this may be his toughest odyssey yet!
