an enjoyable book that is well written
Kellogg weaves a fun, adventurous story with lessons for everyone. It’s an enjoyable book that is well written and draws the reader in. Her descriptiveness is captivating to the point you feel you are part of the story. I even found myself gasping during moments of tension (which I don’t often do while reading a book).

Jeannine Kellogg’s imagination just flows
What a fun and adventurous book! Jeannine Kellogg’s imagination just flows through the page and brings Mitch, Tony, and Jovi to life with such vividness. Would recommend if you like book series like “The Spiderwick Chronicles” by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black or “Fablehaven” by Brandon Mull.

Once he started it he couldn’t put it down
My son loves reading! He has read the whole series of Harry Potter and since he finished the series he has been trying to find a new book to read. When I was asked to review The Tukor’s Journey I thought it would be perfect for him! My son finished this book in a week! Once he started it he couldn’t put it down. It takes you to real places all around the world and introduces you to different animals all while going on a journey with three kids! The author took time to really develop each character with full emotional ranges, and then force them to face different challenges that really made them think outside of the box. The thing I loved most is that this book encourages them to use their imagination and gets them off the electronics for a little while.

fantastical to appeal to those with a vivid imagination
I recently had the chance to review The Tukor’s Journey, a book written to appeal to a hard-to-reach audience of pre-teen and young teen boys. The author intentionally wrote this book to appeal to them, but without using cheap or stereotypical humor. Instead, she writes a book that echoes challenges that are faced in real life, encouraging readers to rise above struggles and work towards a higher calling. The book might look intimidating to reluctant readers because of its size, but it’s easy to stay engaged. The characters and themes are relatable, with enough elements of the fantastical to appeal to those with a vivid imagination, or encourage kids to explore a world that is not our own…it’s a good read, and even many kids who don’t love reading will be drawn in to the story.
