Switched!

This is book #5 in the Time Stumblers series. I have the first, and i borrowed the others from the library. Good thing I did, or else he'd be totally lost. But, I have to say that I like that feature. I tend to grow tired when reading a series, and have to read in book number (say) 7 all about what happened in the previous books. I already read those books, I don't want to have to reread it all again in future books. (Get what I mean?) This series isn't as bad at that as others I've read.

In this book, TJ switches bodies with her nemesis, and the Time Stumblers try to use that to their advantage. This book is quite funny and my son and I had a great time reading it together.

The book has good underlying lessons on forgiveness and... but they're not overly sappy or "preachy." I like that. I try to let my son have fun while learning, and this book does just that. It's fun (to hold his interest) and it has moral values that I feel are important for him to learn.

I did have to underplay some of the boy/girl interaction, though, because he is only 7. But, overall, a good book. We liked it. :)

The 21-Day Dad's Challenge

This is a book about how to have a better relationship with your child(ren). I read through this book for review purposes, then I gave it to my husband to read as it's intended.

This is a very inspiring book. Everyone knows how life has a way of getting in the way of what we really want to do. This book gives helpful hints and encouragement to get a father back to  what he knows is important.

Each chapter includes a story by very trusted, knowledgeable men (and women), "Your Challenge" which gives dad a new challenge to meet each day, and "Your Plan" which helps dad work out how he's going to accomplish his challenge.

Each day's read is very short (15 minutes or so), and the challenges are not difficult, but will make a world of difference in dad's relationship with his children (and, in turn, maybe his wife?). I really recommend this book to every dad!
