About the Book
Title: The Ifs | Author: J.D. Pooker | Illustrator: Frank Walls | Publication Date: April 22, 2013 | Publisher:Little Devil Books | Pages: 146 | Recommended Ages: 8 to 12
Summary: Landon and Broden are brothers. And some days they DO NOT get along very well. They spend most of their days fighting, arguing and plotting ways to get revenge on each other. Then, strange things start happening…
Noises in their room that are not the cat.
Homework is mysteriously finished.
A broken shoelace repairs all by itself.
Clothes are put in the hamper on their own.
The brothers want to share their weird experiences, but they don’t know if they can trust each other. But when they find out who’s behind all the strange things around the house, they are called to battle. Battle? Whoa! Right there in the forest by their house! A battle with the most unusual creatures and wildest of beasts. And when the battle turns more dangerous than they imagined, Landon and Broden must face their fears, put their grudges aside and learn how to work together.
My Review: I loved this book. Landon shook his head and kicked a rock as he walked. For a brief second he'd wished he'd never met the Ifs. Then he and Broden could go on with their lives as normal. They could play in the woods and be blissfully unaware of the battle between the two groups. Most importantly, they'd be together. they'd be safe. Landon and Broden are bothers who discover an Ifs who needs help. Helping the Ifs sends the brothers on a wild adventure. Active characters. Great adventure. I'd recommend this book especially for boys between the ages of 7 - 12.
