So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Better Readers with Beast Quest

By Joe Gatley


Encouraging you children to read can be an extremely hard. The effort is usually worth it however the outcome of well read children is usually well rounded and well behaved adults. There is plenty of choice of books out there to read so the trick is to find one which will hold your child interest especially if they find reading a chore. This is where Adams Blades series of books come into their own and many parent agree they really do the trick

Adam Blade author of Beast Quest is a fictional author. He doesn't really exist. Adam Blade is in fact a made up name for a pool of authors who contribute to the Beast Quest and Chronicles of Avantia series of books. However this fact is irrelevant as the Beast Quest series can play a vital part in getting children to read and build confidence. And Since there is always the next book to come children usually want more.

Adam Blades Beast Quest Series consist of groups of six books. Each has a classic battle of good against evil storyline. The hero Tom and is wanna be girlfriend Elenna have to battle different monster in each book to ultimately complete a task set them by an evil wizard. The simple writing style is effect as it keeps the plot moving quickly and succinctly maintaining the Childs interest. There is enough in the books however to challenge moderate readers.

My son started reading the series when he was six. He always enjoyed reading and the Beast Quest series allowed him to get his teeth into longer books. A good reader will fly through the series and this really builds confidence. My son in now 9 and has moved onto books with more complicated sub text . However I would say the whole Beast Quest series is suitable for boys and girls up to the age of 10 and can really help improve and engage slower learners up to this age.

The series is now approaching its eleventh series each of which contain six books. In addition there are a few bumper editions, the chronicles series, activity books and you decided books which further increase the portfolio. I would recommend buying the series from series one and this sets the scene. The only drawback of this is your child may develop their reading so much through Adam Blades work that they may have moved on before wanting to read series 11.
