Congrats on BOTD! This is an amazing feat for a 9-year-old author - very inspirational! This children's book is filled with adventure and imagination. I love that Child wrote a children's book for children - a great way to connect with the target audience and be relatable.

I would have loved to read such a book in my younger years! So adventurous and fun! All the more is a shame that I, unfortunately, am way too mature to find this fairy tale interesting now and even my kids won't be enticed by the quest as well. Thanks for gifting it for free anyway and congrats on BOTD!

'Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades is a children's story written by J W B Rowley. I really liked so many things about this story, but what stood out most for me was the continuous suspense and plot twists,'
I like suspense and plot twists. To think that I'll encounter this in a children's story is fascinating.

I was confused when I first saw the title of this book. However, the title makes sense now, after sampling the book and reading this review. My favorite part of this book is the weird names, Wacky Bottomsmirk, the Super Awesome Dudes Fighting Crime, or "SAD" for short. Very funny! I agree, 10-year-olds would like this book. I'm an adult and I'm enjoying it.

Approaching solar eclipse poses a threat as the lunar blades are missing from the city of Aridonia. Wacky Bottomsmirk is the prime suspect. Will Sock Sloth and Rick solve this mystery and bring peace to the world? Children learn about the importance of foresight, discipline, and precision from this book.

I so love this book base on the fact that is concern of the children and the needs of more opportunities to experience a good plot line. I am sure the kids would really love this book, also love how it help the kids with spelling words correctly

Great long and detailed review! "Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades" sounds like an interesting book for those who are a little older and can read it themselves. The younger children can look at the great graphics, but I think that the writing will be a little over their heads.

Who wouldn't love this story to find the Lunar Blades and save humanity? Although the story is perfect for very young readers, it can certainly appeal to a wider audience. The suspense and twists all along the story are my takeaway--and I would surely enjoy reading this story to my nephews.

The Lunar Blades seems to posses some sort of power which makes it dangerous when in the wrong hands. Very interesting plot!!
