We received two new children's titles, Harper and the Scarlet Umbrella and Henry Hunter and the Cursed Pirates.  Aiden was very excited to receive these new books to read.  He loves pirates and this is his review of Henry Hunter.  Aiden says, " I think this book is very good and mysterious.  It's a fun book to read.  I keep it in my backpack to read during free time at school.  I think everyone will enjoy reading this book about Henry Hunter."  He has not read the second book yet, but it also looks like a great book.  These would make great additions to an Easter basket.  I love finding good books to stuff in Aiden's basket.  Our tagline around here is "Readers are Leaders".  I'm glad that Aiden likes to read!

Harper and the Scarlet Umbrella

by Cerrie Burnell

Illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson

Harper lives in the City of Clouds, an enchanting place where it rains every day and an umbrella is always a good idea. With her Aunt Sassy, her beloved cat, Midnight, and all of her neighbors in the Tall Apartment Block, every day is full of possibility.

But when every cat in the city goes missing—including Midnight—Harper is determined to find all of the precious pets. And she’ll need a magic, flying umbrella to help her in her search. Recruiting friends from her building to help, the magic umbrella whisks them into the sky on the trail of the cats and an adventure.

Henry Hunter and the Cursed Pirates: Henry Hunter Series #2 

by John Matthews

Henry Hunter’s friend Charlie is desperate for help. His parents have gone missing in the Caribbean Ocean, and no one will believe him that something sinister is afoot.

The only lead Henry and Dolf have is the sighting of a ghostly galleon and a huge tentacle of mist. Exploring the local pirate history and myths, Henry and Dolf uncover a cursed crew of pirates, led by no other than the deadly Edward Teach—Blackbeard himself. But what’s keeping the pirates sailing beyond their deaths? And how and why are they building a crew of live prisoners? It’s up to Henry and Dolf to survive monster waves and befriend a crazy local sea dog to solve the mystery and put the pirates back in their watery graves!

Love the cover of both these books...

....they look like great books to read.
