Wonderful New Book Series for Kids

How about a fun series to get things started this week? There are few series that have been on my radar recently. Two are great new beginnings to some fun narratives, and The Quick Fix is the second installment in a series I have enjoyed from the start.  In fact, I have to admit that I may enjoy this second offering even more than the first!  

So start your child's week off with a good book. The first book I am profiling, Jinx, is probably one of my favorite new series of the year, so happy reading.  To see all my selections this week, visit my website at www.onegreatbook.com


Title:       Jinx 

Author:   Sage Blackwood 

Target:    Grades 4-7 

Series:     This is the first book in a planned series 

What this book is about:

Jinx lives in the Urwald, a forest filled with magic, trolls, werewolves, witches and wizards.  When he is abandoned by his family, he is taken in by a wizard.  But Jinx is never sure if the wizard’s intentions are kind, or rooted in evil. As Jinx grows and realizes his own magic and power he must leave what he has always known to find out the truth. 

Why I love this book:

Oh, this was a great story! I hadn’t been reading anything really noteworthy, and when this book fell across my path I got all excited again. There is magic, danger, friendship, and curses. Who is a young boy to trust? 

With twists and turns in the story, an absolutely endearing main character, great friend sidekicks and villains whose motives are always in question—this book is a wonderful ride! 

Who this book is for:

Great for kids who like an adventure and a little humor.  Kids who like Harry Potter or Fablehaven will absolutely devour this book. 

Final thoughts:

Without a doubt one of my favorite new series.  I will be anxiously watching and waiting for the next book!
