****'s Adventure Book 4
Please see reviews below.
Each book in the series of ****'s Adventures is interactive,
as THE READER MUST NAME THE MAIN CHARACTER.
Naming the young hero adds much to the enjoyment
of the reader. He/she has a personal interest in what is happening to the character.
Of course it makes absolutely no difference what the character is named except
to the reader. The story will still be as exciting and fun no matter what
**** is called.
As you have seen, the interactive part of the
story is that the reader must name ****. It really is easy. Every place where
the character's name is mentioned {****} is seen. It is there that the reader uses
his/her name for the young hero. It's just like seeing [+] and thinking
"plus" -- it's that simple.
The stories are about MAKING
DREAMS COME TRUE, and are filled with ADVENTURE,
SUSPENSE, DANGER, HUMOR AND FUN.
Each of the books is a complete story. No
"cliffhanger" endings.
These stories are written for readers age 9 and
older. To my knowledge they have been enjoyably read by readers of various ages up
to age 92 -- so far.
Scattered throughout the text are
"life lessons". These are short statements that bring to
light some of the day-to-day truths that we all must learn as we grow. They
immediately follow a situation that leads to the "life lesson" listed.
Each story has what may be "new words"
for the younger reader in BOLD print. In the first book the descriptions are immediately
behind the "new word". In the second and all books to follow, the
"new words" will still be in bold print, but there is a GLOSSARY at the end of
the book with the words and meanings listed alphabetically.
Reading for fun -----> is fun.

REVIEWS
"I have read Mr. Finley's work on two separate occasions. I
was impressed with the incredible creativity of the story, the narrative and the excellent
command of the English language. The story will have wide appeal to young people of
