The adventure and fantasy in this children's detective story will capture young readers' imaginations. The cast includes animal characters that are uncommon in children's stories, which promotes awareness about them.

'Official Review: Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades' by J W B Rowley describes the children's story at length. It explores the important character of the story. This is a story of Sock Sloth and Rick's fight against the evil forces to recover the missing Lunar Blades and save humanity. Readers will find suspense, action, and impactful lessons in the story. Also, as mentioned in the review, the author's work highlights foresight, precision, discipline, and superior tactics. Learning that the book would help growing children navigate the complex realities of our modern society was great!

This story had me intrigued, inspired, enamored and a bit tired by the last page. "Sock Sloth" had me on the edge of my seat with all of the action packed adventures of Rick and "Socky". The personified animal characters were built out as much as possible considering the length of the book. I agree with this review..."Sock Sloth" is a must read for children who love adventure and animals. I look forward to more works from this young author.

It's an exciting plot and should keep older kids interested, I think the lack of illustrations except for a small one at the start of every chapter might be an issue. Kids may lose focus as the book is quite long for those with short attention spans.

Thank you for your remarkable review on "Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades" by J W B Rowley. The story revolves around the theft of the Lunar Blades and the mission to recover them to save humanity. The author's use of suspense and unexpected turns kept the reader intrigued, especially with the cunning villain, Wacky Bottomsmirk. I enjoyed reading the sample on Amazon and look forward to finish reading this interesting read because Amazon has it temporarily free. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

“Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades” by J.W.B. Rowley is a suspenseful children’s story about Sock Sloth, Rick, and their crime-fighting agency trying to recover powerful missing blades before a solar eclipse. With twists, action, and valuable life lessons on discipline and foresight, it's recommended for readers aged 7 to 10. Thank you for an amazing review.

I love reading children books because not only are they entertaining, they provide reminders to readers of all ages the basic moral values each one has to take to heart and practice. I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Sock Sloth and Rick, the owners of a crime fighting agency named Super Awesome Dudes Crime Fighting Agency will be able to recover the Lunar blades and save humanity from destruction.

This is a beautiful adventure story that would help the children develop their sense of wider imagination and the ability to find solutions to situations around them. The storyline looks interesting with the search for the missing blades in an attempt to save the whole world.

Thank you for your informative review. I'm glad that you liked the book. I enjoy children's books and have added it to my list of books to read after reading your review. It's great when children's books teach many life lessons and when there are animals in the story it is all the better.

Thank you for your review. Yes, that spelling of the character's name is strange, I thought it was the author who was making a joke, "Wacky Whacky." The story reminded me of Sherlock and his sidekick. I am amazed the author could write such a story with so much action. I think kids will love it.
