Yeah yeah, it’s not chapter books. Again. Welcome to a new article type: Carte Blanche! As the name suggests, this’ll let me talk about non-chapter book things when the muse strikes. Mostly actual French titles, also like the name suggests. These won’t be very frequent, so don’t worry. Chapter books are still the primary focus […]
I get enough questions about chapter books, so I’ve put together a short list of information regarding the format. I might update this from time to time as I learn more, so check back every once and a while! Anything I missed? Anything you want to hear more about? Let me know in the comments!
I couldn’t stay away from another series review for long, because Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol is that good. Every monster trope in the world? Flashbacks every book? How is this ages 5-8? Rare male main characters, too! Premise Eight-year-old Andres Miedoso is new to Kersville, and gets swept up in the action-packed excitement of being […]
Message me if you wanna talk chapter books!
So Star Friends is pretty cool. It’s a chapter book series for ages 6-9. It’s got twelve books and counting. You can find it in every Target across the US. Pretty popular. One of the only new chapter books I’ve seen in mass market. I’ve only read a few of the books so far, so […]
It’s finally time! I’ve talked a bit about everyone’s favorite vampire-fairy in a lot of my past articles. She just hit twenty books (and a TV show) which is my baseline for Series Spotlights (the books not the TV show). Get ready for one of the coolest modern chapter book series. Premise Isadora Moon is […]
Yeah yeah, I’m talking about Dragon Masters again. That series I previously mentioned I had no idea why I liked it. Well I’ve read over twenty-five books now, so I’d better figure out why. It’s basically the Magic Tree House of this generation. A literary powerhouse that shows no signs of slowing down. As a […]
This month was a toss up between Mean Girls in Chapter Books or reviewing Owl Diaries. As much as I want to gush about the new mean girl characters on the chapter book block, people need to hear about Owl Diaries. There’s twenty books and a TV show now, so get out from under that […]
It’s been one year since I began the Mousehold. What started as a general kidlit blog has turned primarily chapter book focused. I guess that’s where reading hundreds of chapter books gets you. One of my friends suggested a “Top 5” sort of deal, which I liked. I can cover a large amount of the […]
So I finally did it. I dipped my toes in the vast ocean that is the Heidi Heckelbeck series. And I immediately had to stop and write this article because the first two books are insane. You have to hear about this. Spoilers for Heidi Heckelbeck books one and two incoming fast. Those Names I’ll […]
