WONDER WORLD KIDS BOOK TWO: THE CASE OF THE LOST LLAMAS 
By Dori Marx (Illustrated by Priscila Orozco Gallo)

Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

T
his super cute chapter book series introduces kids to new destinations around the globe. In this installment, the reader is transported to Machu Picchu in Peru to help the Cook Family solve the mystery of the disappearance of llamas from the area.

With simple language and frequent illustrations, this book is ideal for reader's age six to ten-years-old, especially animal lovers. The eight-year-old Cook twins, Fynn and Celia, are memorable and unique characters, and their ten-year-old sister, Lily, is equally delightful. 

Back matter and a glossary are provided for readers who wish to delve into more detail about story elements such as challenging words, animals unique to the area, and local foods. 

Get your suitcase ready, the travel bug is about to hit!

Polly Diamond and the Super Stunning Spectacular School Fair
by Alice Kuipers (Illustrated by Diana Toledano)

Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This
fun chapter book series continues to delight readers with this installment (book 2). 

In this story, Polly and her magic book (a book which makes anything written in it a reality) get into trouble and out again at the school book fair. Polly’s spunky personality jumps of the page and the magic book premise is fun for readers. With simple language, page turning action, and great illustrations, this is a perfect read for the chapter book crowd. 

Pair with popcorn and cotton candy for the ultimate experience! (read the book to find out why)
