A modern girl caught in the chaos of the modern world, Skye takes a drastic turn when she escapes a toxic relationship. Driving across country she seeks solace at her sister's house in the low desert reuniting with her best friend Dylan, whose discovery of a mysterious rock sparks a belief in its magical properties. With the help of a psychic, her sister, her ex, a phantom dog and a little Ho’oponopono Skye weathers the unexpected twists and turns during the course of a summer that changes her life forever.

letting go everything she's held tightly throughout her life, readers receive a
compelling saga…”-D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Ever since eleven-year-old Dexter
Duckworth and his brother, Dougal, lost their mom, everything has been
different. But “different” takes on a whole new meaning when, one day just
before Christmas (or Kissmas, as they call it), Dexter finds a golden rock in
the forest that hatches into an adorable alien. Gobbledy is smarter than he
seems and is lost on planet Earth. Before long, Gobbledy takes Dexter, Dougal,
and their best friend Fi on an adventure of friendship, family, and loss—one
that requires them all to stay out of trouble, protect Gobbledy from a shadowy
group called the Planetary Society, and prepare for their school’s Winter
Extravaganza Play, where Dexter has to be a dreaded Gingerbread Man.
Gobbledy is a fun-filled holiday story that adds up to two
brothers, three friends, unlimited jars of peanut butter, a ketchup factory,
and one little alien far, far from home.
“Hugely entertaining as well as
emotionally moving." ~ Kirkus Reviews
"This charming alien-in-the-attic story boasts engaging characters, witty
storytelling, and a furry little beast that will eat anything, all wrapped up
in a warm holiday package." ~ Booklife
My Reviews:
Gobbledy is a fun and entertaining middle grade children’s book from Lis Anna Langston. I thought it was a wonderful book to end. To me, it was a little emotional at times but I greatly enjoyed going on this adventure. I loved every single page.
Five plus stars is what I am giving Gobbledy. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of seven and thirteen. I believe it would make a perfect placement in children’s public libraries. I would love to read more like this one from Lis Anna Langston in the future.
I received a digital copy of Lis Anna Langston’s Gobbledy from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
I adored reading Lis Anna Langston’s novel, Wild Asses of the Mojave Desert. It is a story that I could easily be able to connect to the characters and feel as though I was part of it. I was instantly able to relate to Skye. I admired her bravery and courage all throughout and watching her grow. I had no problem reading the whole book in one sitting. I thought it was great.
I am giving Wild Asses of the Mojave Desert a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading contemporary fiction. I would love to read more novels like this one from Lis Anna Langston in the near future.
