Hott Synopsis

Quite an interesting day, this one is. A cherished book of stories is ruined. A pool cleaning is interrupted by a hail storm.


A boy is blown to an unknown land with an umbrella. Only to land in a tree. A tree with a troll, an elevator, and a garden.

And so begins the adventure.

Hott Review

Beautiful people are easier to love, right? It’s important to be the snazziest, the cleanest, the smartest, the prettiest. If we love them more then God must, too, right? Yet, so many act, and, yes, believe that way.

Help your children see this hypocrisy and learn how to not fall into it’s trap.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
