This month’s Kindle Big Deal includes a nice selection of titles for grade-schoolers and tweens, such as:
A Girl’s Best Friend – Maggie Brooklyn Mystery Book 1 (4.5/5 stars, ages 8 and up, currently on sale for $1.99)
Dogs are disappearing in her neighborhood, and Maggie Brooklyn Sinclair knows all about it. After all, she has a semi-secret after-school gig as a professional (ok, amateur) dog-walker. Maggie hates to see a pup in trouble, so she’s even willing to help her ex-best friend Ivy recover her rescue-dog, Kermit. Kermit’s being held for ransom, and Maggie has noticed some suspicious behavior lately. But she never suspected her crush Milo could be involved . . .
Leslie Margolis’s pitch-perfect voice and rich characters have endeared her to tweens, and her fans will flock to this hip new series featuring a clever and lovable new heroine, Maggie Brooklyn.
Thirteen Ways To Sink A Sub (4/5 stars, ages 9 and up, currently on sale for $1.99)
A fourth-grade class tries to outwit their substitute teacher.
One Amazon reviewer says:
Jamie Gilson’s THIRTEEN WAYS TO SINK A SUB will reach ages 8-12 with a classic story of Hobie and his fourth grade class, who gets a substitute for their regular teacher. They have all kinds of plans for the time – but they never counted on getting the strangest substitute teacher with her own special plans for the classroom! A fun classic comes to life!
The Three Cabritos (4/5 stars, ages 4 and up, currently on sale for $1.99)
Once upon a time three cabritos (little goats) decide to go to a Mexican fiesta.
But their mother is worried. She warns them about Chupacabra, the goat-sucker who lives beneath the bridge. And sure enough, as the goats cross the bridge, he jumps out! “Say your prayers.
I’m going to eat you,” he tells the goats. But they are clever.
And they know how to play music—music that finally gets rid of that old goat-sucker forever!
An author’s note, glossary, and pronunciation guide are included.
