Channing O' Banning and the Turquoise Trail: A Net Galley Review!

When I was a kid I read constantly. I'm so excited that my own girls are becoming avid readers! They are incredibly excited every time I have a new book to review that is just for them.


The Channing O'Banning series is a new book series by Angela Spady which has captured my oldest daughter's heart! Channing is a 4th grade artist extraordinaire whose adventures are recorded in these engaging books. The Turquoise Trail is the first in the series. I asked my daughter to read and write her own review. Here is what she had to say! 

"Channing O'Banning and the Turquoise Trail is a really fun story. I really ike it because there are a lot of cool history facts. Chan, as her friends call her, is sort of like me. I really like to draw and I have two younger sisters. I really liked this story and I hope to read more Channing O'Banning stories soon!" - Rose, age 10

As she was reading, Rose would stop and say, "Mommy! Guess what?" And tell me all sorts of things she had learned from the book. She loves that Channing is an artist as that is her main passion. Her big dream is to become an art teacher overseas. She almost always has a drawing pad and pencil along with her. This story opened up her imagination and for several days after reading I found her outside even more with her sketch pad and drawing supplies.
It is so wonderful when I can find books that are engaging and age appropriate for my girls. So much of what is published today for young girls is too mature in content and we try to guard them from experiencing too much too soon. This is a delightfully sweet series that really grabbed my own pre-teen's imagination. 

Disclaimer: I received this title from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated in any other way. I was not required to write a positive review.
