Nessie and the Celtic Maze (Nessie’s Grotto) by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah

 

Nessie and the Celtic Maze by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great adventure awaits when Craig and Linda get to explore the maze and free Princess Sheona. Of course, their parents aren't happy about their previous adventures but feel like it's safe to let them go diving since they are nowhere near Nessie.

This book is geared more towards emerging readers and is a chapter book. I love that this author writes across a span of age groups for kids. Her stories are very engaging and full of adventure. There are oftentimes scientific angles to the stories as well!

Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie’s Grotto) by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah

 

Nessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This has been my least favorite book by this author so far, but it's still an enjoyable story.

Everyone's favorite rock star is in town for a big concert. However, when Craig and his sister go back to visit with Nessie, they learn that all the drumming is causing issues in Nessie's grotto. Can they stop the concert and save the grotto before it's too late?

It was a good story but it did seem to lack some plot development. This is the second book in this series and I have read the first one prior to this one. This is a book that is a bit longer than most of this author's style of books as well, so maybe that's a bit why. I would still recommend this book to be read by young readers or reading it to younger listeners.

Nessie and the Living Stone (Nessie’s Grotto) by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah

 

Nessie and the Living Stone by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Craig and his little sister Linda are from Birmingham but they are on holiday with their family at Loch Ness. They are both pretty determined to find Nessie and they are able to do that once a stone washes up on the shore. There is an adventure awaiting them when they finally get the chance to meet the infamous Nessie and it's one that no one will believe.

This is a bit longer of a book than most of them written by this author. The chapters are fairly short and there are less than 10 of them so a budding reader could do well with this one. All ages will enjoy the story and the illustrations are also very well done in this book.
