Ben H. Winters lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He’s written a whole bunch of plays and musicals for children and adults; all sorts of magazine and newspaper journalism; and books, including Android Karenina, the New York Times bestseller Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, the middle-grade novel The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman, and several contributions to the famous Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide series. You can learn more about him at BenHWinters.com
About the book:
Ms. Finkleman is just our boring old music teacher. Or is she?
It all starts with a Special Project in Mr. Melville’s Social Studies class: Solve a mystery in your own life. For seventh grader Bethesda Fielding, one mystery is too tempting to ignore: Ms. Finkleman.
Bethesda is convinced that her mousy Music Fundamentals teacher is hiding a secret life, and she’s determined to find out what it is. But no one is prepared for what she learns. Ms. Finkleman used to be . . . a rock star? Soon the whole school goes rock crazy, and a giant concert is in the works with none other than timid Ms. Finkleman at the helm!
But the case isn’t quite closed, and the questions continue to swirl for Bethesda. Could there be even more to the secret life of Ms. Finkleman than she already revealed? With the help of her rock-obsessed classmate Tenny Boyer, Bethesda won’t stop until she solves the real mystery of Ms. Finkleman once and for all!
My take on the book:
I had so much fun reading this book! And how can you not enjoy a book involving a mild-mannered, practically anonymous music teacher with a secret past, some punk rock music and lots of laughs accompanied by a little bit of School of Rock appeal!
Ben H. Winters rocks the house with this fast-paced read starring Bethesda Fielding and Tenny Boyer as very likable and authentic characters. While there’s lots of fun and good laughs, I was impressed with some of the subplots in the story as well. There’s lots of things going on amidst the laughs and suspense involving the subject (Ms. Finkleman) of Bethesda Fielding’s Special Project. I think this would be a great read for a middle school classroom because it affords opportunities for some good discussions about identity, teacher-student relationships and family pressures. In many ways, The Secret Life of Ms. Finkelman is essentially a story about second chances as the main characters have issues related to either their past or present lives. I like how it all plays out in the story, especially with the ending.
Be sure to check out Ben H. Winters’ website: BenHWinters.com. Lots of cool things going

Jerry Pearlman graduated from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Tx. (now Texas State University) in 1977, with a BBA in Business Management.
The inspiration for Tales of a Baseball Dream comes from his son who loved playing baseball. He believed it was important to give his son the opportunity to develop his talents, so he spent much quality time with him and his friends playing baseball. The extra hours of practice resulted in us having many positive, and fun experiences playing baseball.
He believes it is important as a parent, to set a positive example, and keep open communications with your child. His current and future goals are to try and make a difference, by being a supporter against bullying, and communicating positive ideas to parents and teachers.
About the book:
Tale of A Baseball Dream is the inspirational story of a boy (Dusty Hunter), who loves to play baseball. He has an incredibly strong desire to become a great baseball player. His dad works relentlessly with Dusty to give him every opportunity to develop his baseball skills..
The story entwines Dusty’s life with “The Legend of Bubba ‘The Brute’ Brugosee,” who was considered many decades earlier as “The Greatest Baseball Hero of all Time!”
Dusty is undersized, but has the Heart of a Champion!
My take on the book:
If you read the author bio above, you may already be able to get a sense of what the theme of a Tale of a Baseball Dream is in this excellent first effort from Jerry Pearlman. As an author looking to tell stories which can make a difference, he has certainly hit a home-run with this inspirational and positive portrayal of a father and son relationship.
Tale of a Baseball Dream is not only a wonderful story about a father and son’s mutual love of baseball, but is also the story of how a father’s belief in his son can live on long after his passing.
I think this book will be enjoyed especially by boys in the 8-12 age range. Fathers and sons can enjoy this book together and also be able to engage in some excellent conversations based on some of the themes in the story. Younger boys will enjoy this story as well, and dads can get an excellent opportunity to bond as they read-aloud together with their son. This is also an excellent book for reluctant readers. It is fast-paced and young readers will be able to relate to Dusty’s dreams of becoming a great baseball player. If you’re into baseball history, you may realize some parallels as well with the characters and teams. I won’t spoil the fun though. You’ll have to step up to the plate and give this one a read for yourself.

Hey Chris,
Thank you for the excellent review! Your help is greatly appreciated! I wish you and your family the best always! Jerry

Great review Chris. This book was an absolute joy to me. I agree with you 100%. My son is 6 & instantly stole it from me & started reading it. He had trouble with a few of the big words but loves the story. It is def a perfect story to be shared between anyone and a child.
I love baseball & was able to share that love with my son. So from a Mom point of view, this was a home run!

You’re very welcome – Thanks for letting me review it!

Thanks Mindy. Oddly enough, I’m not such a baseball fan anymore but there’s just something about a father and a son playing baseball together isn’t there?
Do you remember getting those Scholastic book order forms in elementary school? I think they’re still around, but now have computer games and other things like that in them. Once I learned how to read, my favorite books to read were the Choose Your Own Adventure Books and every time I saw a new one in the Scholastic book order form, I got it.
I wish I still had these books because they’re such classics. I was really pleased to learn a few months ago that they’re still around and they have an excellent website: www.cyoa.com.
Besides the old classics like Journey Under the Sea, there’s new books being released as well. Although I was an active reader, these are great books for reluctant readers.
I’ll be having some reviews of this series throughout the year. What was your favorite CYOA book?

I actually wrote one myself when I was a kid. It was an adventure in a pyramid. My dad kept it and, of course, showed it to my wife the first time she came to visit.

I loved “The Third Planet From Altair” and it is now on my son’s bookshelf waiting patiently for him to be old enough to read it.
There were some Indiana Jones CYOA books too, which I adored when I was going through my first ever crush on Harrison Ford. Well, that’s never really stopped.
Thanks for the link to the site, and hooray for CYOA!
Dawn Little said, on 1/27/2011 8:51:00 AM
I loved CYOA books as a kid, though can’t remember a specific book I enjoyed. I did find the “new” series about a year ago and began reading them with my son! I love sharing my childhood books with my kids!
David B. said, on 1/27/2011 12:46:00 PM
I found a pile of these at my parent’s house and thought it’d be fun to share with my 4-year old daughter. But most of the them had violent death endings, but I found one – Space and Beyond – which was seemed very ‘peace-love-let’s love the universe’. She loved looking at the picture and making the choices and the books were great for helping her recognize large numbers when flipping back and forth between page numbers. It was a good bit of nostalgia for me, Journey Under the Sea was my first CYOA too.

How funny – I wrote my own one too when I was a kid. My mum’s still got it too
Sandra J. Gerencher is a special education teacher in the Bangor Area public school system. Prior to becoming a teacher, she worked at Lehigh University in a school-based program, as a Program Specialist for adults with disabilities. Over the past 20 years she has worked with children and adults with special needs in such areas as counseling, Behavior Specialist Consultation, behavioral research, crisis intervention and abuse therapy. Sandra graduated from Lehigh University with a M.Ed. in Special Education (2004) and from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia with an M.S. in Counseling Psychology (1999).
About the book:
Over the past 10 years, author Sandra Gerencher has been on a mission to save dogs from high-kill animal shelters. Her first rescue was P.J., the black and white Pomeranian in the story. She also adopted the orange Pomeranians Shelby and Lil Rascal, and of course, Chance, the big black Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix.
Her most significant adoption was her son, Terry. He was considered a special needs child because he was born with a genetic disorder known as Fragile X Syndrome. The disorder can cause many cognitive disorders, such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mental retardation and depression.
All characters in the story are based on Sandra’s real life family.
Watch the book trailer:
My take on the book:
Second Chance is a beautifully written testimony to the power of love we can give to someone by offering them a second chance. Told from the unique perspective of the rescued dog Chance, young readers are the given the opportunity to learn about adoption and autism in a very simple yet beautiful way. The impressionistic photographs were fascinating for me and I thought were incredibly poignant as a metaphor for empathy and learning to see the world through someone else’s eyes.
Sandra Gerencher’s lifelong commitment to rescuing dogs and her love of both animals and people is incredibly inspiring. It’s easy for me to say this is a must-read for adopted children but I want to go a step further and say it&rsq

Thank you, Chris, for the heart warming and touching review of SECOND CHANCE. It is definitely a book that tugs at the heart strings especially considering it is based on Sandra’s real life family. Thank you for recommending it to the fine readers of Book Dads – both young and old.
Frank Cottrell Boyce is the author of two other books for children: Framed and Millions, which was made into a movie by Oscar winning director Danny Boyle. Frank lives in England with his family.
About the book:
Liam has always felt a bit like he’s stuck between two worlds. This is primarily due to the fact that he’s a twelve-year-old kid who looks like he’s about thirty. Sometimes it’s not so bad, like when his new principal mistakes him for a teacher on the first day of school, or when he convinces a car dealer to let him take a Porsche out on a test drive. But mostly it’s just frustrating, being a kid trapped in an adult world.
And so he decides to flip things around.
Liam cons his way onto the first spaceship to take civilians into space, a special flight for a group of kids and an adult chaperone, and he is going as the adult chaperone. It’s not long before Liam, along with his friends, is stuck between two worlds again – only this time he’s 239,000 miles from home.
Scott Neumyer has ten years experience in online marketing and publicity and has spent the last three years as a media buyer for a major national film distributor. He has a BA in English and Cinema Studies from Rutgers University. Like many of us, Scott is also a pop culture junkie, and he’s still suffering withdrawals as a result of the cancellation of great shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Veronica Mars. His top ten favorite films of all time change daily but always include The Silence of the Lambs, Il Conformista, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Once Were Warriors. A Jersey Boy through and through, Scott also loves everything Kevin Smith touches (and, yes, that includes Jersey Girl).
About the book:
For Jimmy Stone, life in “Boredsylvania” has been pretty tough. His mom’s died, his dad’s completely checked out, and he spends his days running from the Coogan Boys, the local bullies. It isn’t long, however, before “Boredsylvania” gets a lot more exciting. With his new friend, David and his dog, Trex, by his side, Jimmy discovers that the woods beyond his backyard hold the key to a world he could never even imagine. Soon, he ends up in Ghost Town, where he’s greeted by his ghost guide, Gasp, and receives an ominous prophecy.
“Seven things you must find.
One thing for each day.
Seven things you must find.
Or else they all will pay!”
Suddenly Ghost Town becomes as scary as it sounds, and Jimmy Stone realizes that he’s in way over his head.
My take on the book:
Let me start off by saying Jimmy Stone’s Ghost Town is the first book I read on my new Nook. Since it was going to be my first read on the Nook, I had high expectations and I’m pleased to say that Scott Neumyer’s suspenseful story packed quite a punch and left me very much looking forward to the next book in the series. (More on that later…)
This is quite an entertaining and fast moving read, which I can really see being enjoyed by reluctant readers, especially boys in the 10-12 year old range. It’s very well written and I think Neumyer captured the persona of a 5th grade boy very nicely. Although the title might suggest the book would be scary, I didn’t find it to be and doubt kids would be spooked by what’s in the book. I do think the book could be enjoyed by younger readers, but there are some pretty heavy issues which come out in the first half of the book such as the death of Jimmy’s mother and Jimmy’s drunkard father. There is some foul language in the book. If you know any or have worked with 5th grade boys, that might not be too much of a surprise. Like I mentioned above, Neumyer does capture the characterizati

I’ll need to check this one out, as it sounds great for boys. How do you like your Nook? Was it a holiday gift?
Chris Singer said, on 1/13/2011 9:34:00 AM
I think boys will especially enjoy the suspense and mystery surrounding.
I love my Nook but I’m a little disappointed in the selection of children’s books. I bought the color so I can have children’s picture books on it. The selection is kind of iffy though and the good ones available are more expensive than the book. I hope that changes.
It was my gift to myself

Sean Paul McCartney (He’s not related to the Beatle) was born in 1971. He graduated from Alfred University in upstate New York with a Bachelor’s in Communications in 1993. From there he played two exciting season traveling around the world with the Washington Generals playing against the world famous Harlem Globetrotters. In 1996 Sean earned his Masters in Education and embarked on a career as a teacher. He is employed by Plain Local Schools in Canton, OH. The first book in the series The Treasure Hunters Club: Secrets of the Magical Medallions introduces the four teens Tommy Reed, Jackson Miller, Shannon McDougal and Chris Henderson. The series is a cross between The Hardy Boys and Indiana Jones with a touch of National Treasure.
About the book:
A Treasure Hunting Legend… Four Ordinary Kids… Two Magical Medallions… Pursued By An Ancient Evil… In One Extraordinary Adventure. Join the Treasure Hunters Club as they look to unlock the Secrets of the Magical Medallions. …Some Secrets Are Better Left Alone. When Tommy Reed received a medallion from his famous treasure hunting uncle “Diamond” Jack Reed he didn’t think much of it. Now an ancient evil is pursuing his every move and his treasure hunting club friends, Shannon McDougal, Jackson Miller and Chris Henderson are on the run. They must unlock the secret to the medallion before evil can hunt them down.
My take on the book:
If you have kids who enjoy action-packed reads, they’re in for a wild ride with this first book in the Treasure Hunter Club series. The Secrets of the Magical Medallions has been called a mix of The Hardy Boys and Indiana Jones with a little piece of the movie, National Treasure, thrown in. I loved reading The Hardy Boys as a kid and the Indiana Jones movies were some of my favorites so I had high expectations for this book. To author, Sean McCarthy’s credit, he nails it here. This is an excellent adventure story. It’s really fast paced and will keep readers anxious to get to the next page.
The best part though for me was the characters. It’s fantastic to see positive and strong female characters alongside their equally positive and strong male counterparts. Although many might automatically think this book is geared exclusively for boys, it’s nice to be able to say both girls and boys could enjoy this read equally.
I did have a few technical issues with the book. Sometimes the transition between scenes isn’t clearly denoted. For example, near the end of the book when the action is taking place at breakneck speed, there are short scenes with mostly dialogue between characters. What happens though is when the action shifts to a different setting and character, it’s not really easy to tell because the break in the writing isn’t significant enough to give the reader a heads up that t

Cy Tymony has created his homemade inventions since he was a kid. His imagination and innovative way at looking at the world continues today as a technical writer and computer network specialist in the Los Angeles area. He has appeared on CNN and NPR, and has been featured in the Los Angeles Times and U.S. News & World Report.
About the books:
Cy Tymony’s Sneaky Book for Boys: This clever book provides complete how-to instructions and diagrams for sneaky gadgets, survival skills, magic tricks, communication codes, and science projects. It also explores sneaky animals and insects and recycling and conservation techniques.

My take on the books:
While growing up, MacGyver was one of my favorite shows. I loved how he would come up with some amazing gadget with just a few materials on-hand to get himself out of a jam. My brother and I would play MacGyver as kids too using our Legos to make some sort of contraption to get us out of our “pretend” trouble.
I can only imagine how cool things could have been if I had Cy Tymony’s Sneaky Books as a kid. These are simply incredible! There are all sorts of really fun activities for kids, and the best part may just be that as dads we can join in on the fun as well!

Like father like son, I had to turn off the lights on him two nights in a row. One of those nights it was close to midnight. He had gone to bed, lights out and couldn’t sleep. So he turned on his light and started reading. I got up to get a glass of water and walked past his door. It was a little tough getting him up in the morning. The bottom line is he loved the book and had trouble putting it down.
What my son liked about the book
* What was your favourite part? Why?
This turned out to be a tough question because he liked all of the book. He kept thinking about what was the best part and finally settled on the end of it.
* Who is your favourite character? Why?
Ernie. Because he’s a changeling. He can go really fast. My son at this point bolts from the room, runs down the hall and back.
* Did any part of the book surprise you?
Yes. We had a good conversation about some of the twists and turns of the book that I won’t mention so others can be surprised as well. He was surprised by some of the same things that got me. For me that was part of the charm of the book was that it kept me guessing. I asked him if he found it hard to put down because of the twists and he agreed.
* Should we put the first three books on your Christmas list?
Yes. So they are now officially on my and my son’s Christmas lists.
* Did you find any part of the book scary?
Some but not too scary. Again we can not mention the scenes. Needless to say the book is an adventure and scary things happen.
* What was the coolest technology? Why?
The zephyr, a subway train that was alive.
My son also came up with three questions for author, Jon Lewis:
Question 1: What would you advise to an 8 year old who wants to be a writer?
To write whatever he/she loves to write about. If you love stories about sports, then write lots of stories about sport. Dragons? Then fill up a notebook with stories about dragons. Spies or detectives? Then write about them, too. Writing is like practicing a sport or an instrument, the more you do it the better you get — but you’ll work even harder if you focus on subjects you really like.
Question 2: What were your favourite books growing up?
Picture Book: Where the Wild Things Are
First Chapter Book(s): Narnia series
Novel(s): Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Question 3: What gave you the idea of Grey Griffin’s Series? Did the story change from your original idea?
Derek and I wanted to write a mixture of our favorite mythologies with our own exp

The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future by Dav Pilkey
Reviewed by: Chris Singer
About the author:
Dav Pilkey has written and illustrated numerous popular, award-winning books for children, including the Captain Underpants and Dumb Bunnies series; Dog Breath, winner of the California Young Reader Medal; and The Paperboy, a Caldecott Honor Book. He lives with his wife in the Pacific Northwest. Visit him online at www.pilkey.com
About the book:
In this all-new graphic novel, George Beard and Harold Hutchins present the sensational saga of two silly caveboys named Ook and Gluk. Ook and Gluk have a pretty awesome life growing up together in Caveland, Ohio, in 500,001 BC—even though they’re always getting in trouble with their nasty leader, Big Chief Goppernopper. But Ook and Gluk’s idyllic life takes a turn for the terrible when an evil corporation from the future invades their quiet, prehistoric town. When Ook, Gluk, and their little dinosaur pal, Lily, are pulled through a time portal to the year 2222 AD, they discover that the world of the future is even worse than the devastated one they came from. Fortunately, they find a friend in Master Wong, a martial arts instructor who trains them in the ways of kung fu, so that they may one day return home and make things right again. And, like the other Captain Underpants books, The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future features the world’s cheesiest animation technology, “Flip-O-Rama,” in every chapter.
My take on the book:
If you are familiar with Dav Pilkey, you already know his books are huge hits with reluctant readers. Those readers and other fans of the Captain Underpants series are going to have a lot of fun with Ook and Gluk as well. It’s funny and silly and even parents will laugh if they’re reading along with their kids. I love Pilkey’s artwork and the Flip-O-Rama’s crack me up as well. There’s even some good lessons in the story such as preserving natural resources and I definitely enjoyed the symbolism behind Ook and Gluk’s battle with the “evil corporation.”
Overall though, I have to admit being a little torn. I have a hard time not believing the intentional misspellings in the book aren’t going to be problematic for young readers or kids
