The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: The Emerald Lake by Wallace E Briggs

The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: The Emerald Lake by Wallace E Briggs

This is a stand-alone, fourth in series, of the adventures of Jimmy Crikey, the alien orphan who, despite cruel bullying, decided to make his home on Earth. He numbers among his friends the four witch guardians of Earth’s realms and the ancient Lord Oron, aka The Weatherman.
The underground Emerald Lake, the home of the Aquamites, is invaded by a flesh-eating, fire-breathing serpent, which is impervious to the magic of the four guardian witches. Matilda, the chief witch, asks for Jimmy’s assistance.
Jimmy accompanies Elwinn, witch guardian of everything associated with water, to visit the Emerald Lake. They arrive at a plausible plan to capture the serpents in a spider’s web net.
Their strategy is complicated because Jimmy cannot breathe underwater unless included in Elwinn’s bubble. Several of the strongest young Aquamites agree to act as live bait to entice the serpents into a lake in an extinct volcano’s caldera.
Once the serpents are lured into the volcano’s lake Jimmy, with the help of his starship SR3 and XRU, the intelligent computer/navigator, will trap the reptiles in a spiders web net, ready to drag the creatures into the cold depths of deep space.
Jimmy’s heart is captured at first sight of Annison, a young, golden-headed Aquamite who is also the daughter of Milton, the leader of the tribe.
During the operation to rid the Aquamite’s world of serpents, Annison is seriously injured when one serpent takes a bite out of her lower tail. She is dying from the loss of blood. The witches do not have the power to help. There is no time to get her to Jimmy’s home plane of Attalia for advanced surgery.
All appears lost until Lord Oron reveals his real identity. Lord Oron is one of the Lords who serve the all-powerful Master. The Master could save Annison, but he refuses to bring a subject back to life from the dead. Can Lord Oron persuade the Master to intervene and save the life of Jimmy’s first love, Annison?
Recent 5* review on Amazon Top review from the United States C.J. Wills
5.0 out of 5 stars A splendid tale!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022
A wonderful world of fantasy in the Jimmy Crikey series is full of captivating imagery. It is a stand alone book full of excitement for any young reader. The main character is an alien who has decided to make his home on Earth.
Dealing with subjects that many of our youth can relate to from bullying to building healthy relationships, Jimmy befriends four magical witches who hold guardianship over certain aspects of the Earth.
The four witches aid the main character to help him to battle off fire breathing, vile, and destructive serpents who have invaded the Emerald Lake. When the time comes with serious trouble taking place the witches can not help. However the ancient Lord Oron might be able to help.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story. There are plenty of twist to the story from space travel to the Emerald Lake itself. Aliens, monsters, witches, and other characters all add life to a budding love.

About Featured Book: Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be (A Bedtime Story) by Steve William Laible

Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be (A Bedtime Story)

Summary: Based on a True Story. In this version, the author elevated the wildly popular ‘picture book’ to a full-color, illustrated, 6 x 9″ paperback novella (for older children).

Stories within stories of gladness and adventure abound in this sweetly crafted and splendidly illustrated storybook about a little boy who loves his bed SO much, he wishes he could take it everywhere he goes.

Author Insights:
The author uses a little misdirection (or leg-pulling) in his books, which is his nature, coming from a comic strip background. He feels this adds to the flavor and fun of his bedtime stories immensely. He believes his tongue-in-cheek writing style resonates with children’s funny bones.

Stevie Tenderheart A Second Kiss Goodnight (A Bedtime Story) by Steve William Laible

About Featured Book: Stevie Tenderheart A Second Kiss Goodnight (A Bedtime Story) by Steve William Laible

This is the 5th Stevie Tenderheart novella by this author. #FAB5

Based on a true story, Stevie Tenderheart A Second Kiss Goodnight (A Bedtime Story) is a non-illustrated shared dream sequence storybook about a little boy (Stevie) who has a hard time falling to sleep–that is, until he devises a brilliant plan. Stevie shares the magic of the night with your children. #GigglesAssured

The author uses warm and affectionate storytelling rather than conversational, “He said, She said” dialogue. The author, who has a comic strip background, also uses a little leg-pulling, keeping kids on their toes. Kids love that!

Stevie books have received 600+ Goodreads ratings/reviews with the best review: “Best Children’s Author to come along since Dr. Seuss.” [As if, but still, pretty cool, huh?] Worst: “Too many words.”

Stevie books help parents put their kids to bed on time, every time. Just be mindful when you say, “It’s Stevie time.” They will likely hear, “It’s TV time.” [And that’s on you.] “-)

Stevie books provide a splendid bonding experience for parents and their kids at bedtime. (5-10 pages a night ought to do the trick.)

Most importantly in today’s climate: Stevie books quiet the noises of the day, helping kids feel silly, safe (loved & cozy) at bedtime. That’s all any parent hopes for.

Stevie Books will get boys reading again!
