A Texas Year and A New York Year reviews

I love Kids' Book Buzz because the reviews are by kids--and I just love what kids have to say!

A New York Year

A Texas Year

A Scottish, English, New Yorker, Texan Year

It's so lovely to see books 2 through 5 in the A Kids' Year series powering along. These books took a lot of dedication and a lot of work, and a lot of falling in love all over again with these amazing places! Remember, if you can't book a flight to the other side of the world right now, you can always travel through the pages of a book ...

I particularly love these reviews on The Mummy Project:

Scotland and England

Texas and New York

I wonder which two destinations will be next in the series??? Two more out in 2017. Post a guess in the comments below, if you like.
