Bad-to-the-bone

November 26, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Bad Guys in Intergalactic Gas is the fifth book in the Bad Guys series. And the first one I read. And of course, it is about…. farts. Okay, I was a 10-year-old-boy in a former life (I have proof as four years ago, my then 10-year-old nephew and I were both laughing over a “doo-doo” joke….). Aaron Blabey must be a 10-year-old boy, as he speaks their language. Well, the langue of 7 to 10-year-olds as this is aimed at them. The humor is basic […]

September 13, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

However, I have only read some of the non-fiction companions to the fiction stories and some of her non-Treehouse books. When the read the last in a series came up on the bingo board, I figured why not? Well, the problem is, there are series within the series! […]
