“Shifter: The Healer Chronicles Book 2” by Michael J. Bowler

by Reader Views
on Jun 21
Shifter” takes the Healer Chronicles to another level as the kids are tested to their limits. Once again Bowler drives well-drawn characters through an exciting story full of epic battles with enemies, terrifying experimental procedures, and betrayal at the deepest level. There are a few twists readers might suspect, but Bowler expertly uses these devices to take us down completely different paths you won’t see coming. The introduction of William and his “cousins” add an element of magic that I would love to see on the screen. Think a “Stranger Things” vibe and kick it up a notch – can you even imagine?

Our Reviewers

Our kids team consists of volunteer reviewers ranging in ages from 3 to 18 – they take reading and reviewing books seriously!

The preschoolers review the books with their parents. The early readers get assistance from their parents, and the young readers work on their own with some assistance from the parents. The teen/young adults reviewers are on their own, with of course their parent’s support.

Want your book reviewed by an adult? We can do that! 

 *Note: All reviews are done by our Kids Review Team unless you specifically ask for a review by an adult.

From Our Clients

“Reader Views has been a delightful find as an author. Eve, the Barefoot Librarian, and Sheri/Susan are professional and competent. It is wonderful to know that they do what they say they will do, are clear communicators and support my little picture book wherever they can.”

Nan Evenson, Children’s Book Author

“Sheri Hoyte, Reader Views, and Reader Views Kids continue to provide an exceptional and cherished avenue to absolutely genuine analysis and commentary from those that matter most. Her willingness to make a personal connection with authors and readers alike manifests itself in a symposium of literature that can be depended on. As an indie author, it is platforms like these that keep the dream alive. Always be smiling.”

Eric Ray, Author of Mr. Kind Stories

“I have entered the Reader Views Literary Awards Reviewer’s Choice program each year since I discovered the program. The Awards themselves are great for marketing, but the way that this program is especially meaningful is that they use children to review the children’s books. A child reviewer is very unique, since they evaluate the book’s appeal to actual children…the readers!!”

Sherrill S. Cannon, Children’s Book Author, Poet

Eve, the Barefoot Librarian provided us with an excellent service. Being first-time authors, it is a challenge to get your foot in the door and we were really pleased with the process. Not only was it a well thought out and wonderful review, but Eve is lovely and very prompt with her communication. Thank you for a job well done.
