Will they be able to rescue Aoléon’s parents and save Earth from invasion? 

My review:

This is the fifth book I have read from this author in his Aoleon series. You can read my first four reviews HERE, HERE,HERE and HERE. This book picks right up where book for left off.

This is the final book in this series and I have to say, it did not disappoint. The author wrapped up everything in a nice huge bow but not before there was a lot of fighting. This was with lasers and all sorts of sci-fi-ish bombs. The photos in this book were once again, fantastic! I do not know how they are done but, wow!

One of the heroes looked like it was the end for him. How he overcame was interesting. The heroes won out in the long run as I would have expected. Earth was freed and the cows sent home. 

It was sad to see the conclusion of this series. I had come to know all of the characters in the book and the relationships they had with each other. I was disappointed that a better conclusion to the two main characters could not be arrived but yet, it was understood. I of course cannot give that away, as you my readers, will have to read the book.

This book was sweet and the whole series exciting. I truly believe that middle grade kids will love the series no matter what gender they are.  I look forward to seeing more from this author in the near future. Kudos for a job well done!

This book gets 5 stars.

Book Title: Aoléon The Martian Girl: A Science Fiction and Fantasy Saga - Part 4: Illegal Aliens

Category:  Middle-Grade, 139 pages

Genre: Science-fiction and Fantasy

Content Rating: G

Summary:
Aoleon and Gilbert have become the Luminon’s top priority in stopping the Martian resistance movement, and after being chased by the Royal Paladin Guard, they are forced to flee the Martian Megalopolis. Aoléon, Gilbert and Zoot escape with the help of Bizwat and his newly found friend, Helios, a first generation soldierbot.

After their saucer is destroyed, they crash land somewhere in the deep Martian desert, and they set out to locate Kyrios and the secret base where Aoleon’s parents are being held captive.

After battling the forces of nature, starvation, a Klyklon dust storm, (and not to mention a giant slor that almost swallows them alive), they finally make it to their destination. However, after Kyrios gives Gilbert some basic training to develop his budding psionic power, they learn that their journey is far from over.

Will Aoléon, Gilbert, Bizwat, Helios, and Zoot be able to rescue Aoleon’s parents and stop the Martian invasion of Earth in time? 

My Review:
This is the fourth book I have read from this author in his Aoleon series. You can read my first three reviews HERE, HERE, and HERE. The book starts off in a bit of political commentary which took me by surprise considering that this is a series for middle grade children. However, it continued on right where it left off from book three after that.
 
The martian contingent is getting ready to strike while the U.S. contingent is getting ready to pre-strike, doesn't that sound about right? In the middle of it all are the people. That figures too.

I found it humorous when the cows were extracted from Earth and how. This of course not giving away a part of the book as it is right on the cover. 

I did find this particular book to drag a few chapters until it got closer to the end with a bit of excitement interspersed. I felt also the book was left a cliff hanger of sorts.

Over all, not bad but certainly not my favorite of the books thus far. I do look forward to finding out the conclusion. 4 stars.

#Review: Aoléon The Martian Girl PART THREE by Brent LeVasseur #martiangirl​ #sci-fi​ #kidsbooks

Summary:
Spying on the Luminon, Aoléon and Gilbert uncover his plot to steal Earth’s milk cows and make the disturbing discovery that the Martian leader plans to disrupt Mars’s galact supply. The duo races to warn Aoléon’s father, Deimos, a manager at the galactworks, before the Luminon’s saboteur can act. 

While still on the run, Aoléon takes her pilot’s exam so she can join the Martian intergalactic exploration fleet. However, during the test-run, something goes horribly wrong. The two are put in a life-threatening situation and only Bizwat, Aoléon’s Procyon commando friend, can save them. 

Gilbert finally gets his chance to learn to skyboard, but the lesson turns into a test of skill as he and Aoléon are chased by the Royal Paladin Guard. 

Will they survive? 

My review:
This is the third book in a series of five  that I have read from this author. You can read my review of the first book  HERE  and review of the second book HERE. This is a middle grade book full of sci-fi kinds of adventure. This book does pick up where the last two left off so you would certainly want to read them in succession.

This time the martian girl, Aoleon is taking the Earth boy, Gilbert to learn how to skyboard. He seems to be anxious at first but turns out he is "a natural."  This is a good thing as this time their adventures lead them to major trouble and almost get them killed. You have to read the book though to find out how they manage. When I read it, I was biting what nails I have left hoping they would be able to make it to the next books. *grins*  Seriously, I adore this series and can hardly wait to find out what happens next for these two.

As in the first two book, the author gives a clear picture of what things look like. His amazing photographs pop out  in 3D form. So much so, I find myself thinking I can touch the characters of the book. As I have said before I think this makes the book so unique and a stand out from others in the same genre.

Get yourself a copy and then keep on reading the additional books that are to rapidly  becoming available. 

5 stars!

#Review: Aoléon The Martian Girl PART TWO by Brent LeVasseur #martiangirl​ #sci-fi​ #kidsbooks

Summary:
Aoléon and Gilbert receive a special mission from PAX, a wanted criminal and leader of the Martian resistance movement to investigate the Luminon of Mars, who he suspects is planning an invasion of Earth to steal its milk cows. Gilbert has an encounter with the Luminess (the mate of the Luminon) and discovers something strange about her during a procession, and the duo are chased by the Royal Paladin Guard. 

At Aoléon’s home, Gilbert meets Aoléon’s family, her sister Una, mother Phobos and father Deimos as well as her overzealous pet Zoot. He is also introduced to Bizwat, a covert operator and Procyon Commando, who uses his Saturn Pizza delivery job as a cover. 

Gilbert then gets to visit the Martian Space Academy (Aoléon’s school) where he encounters Aoléon’s nemesis, Charm Lepton and her friend Quarkina, as well as receiving a history lesson on the Martian people by Plutarch Xenocrates. After class, Gilbert and Aoléon get to train in zero-G and Gilbert is treated to a Psi-ball match between MartianSpace Academy and Martian Science Academy.

My review:
This is the second book in a series that I have read from this author. You can read my first book review by clicking the link. This is a middle grade book full of sci-fi kinds of adventure. This book does pick up where the last one left off so you would certainly want to read them in succession.

This time the martian girl, Aoleon is taking the Earth boy, Gilbert around her home world. Trouble does seem to find them but they seem to manage to get out of it too. More and more people are learning that Gilbert is not whom he appears which could put him in danger.

As in the first book, the author gives a clear picture of what things look like. You can easily imagine the places and people that the characters meet. The only problem I had this time it was almost too descriptive, if that can even be possible. I actually got weighed down a bit by it. Some descriptions seemed almost too technical for this genre of book. Also, there were a couple of times that I was surprised by what was written in the form of expletives and a few typos but considering this was an ARC copy I can overlook that.  Those things did not draw me away from continuing to forge ahead with the adventure.

The most amazing thing about this book, as with the last one, was the photographs. The photos seemed to be in 3D and look like they jump out at you. This makes the book so unique and a stand out from others in the same genre.

Get yourself a copy and then keep on reading the additional books that are to rapidly  becoming available. 

4 stars!

#Review: Aoleon, the Martian Girl by Brent LeVasseur #martiangirl​ #sci-fi​ #kidsbooks

Summary:
Crop circles magically appear in Farmer Johnson’s field. A mysterious light sweeps over the night sky and awakens Farmer Johnson and Gilbert, the boy next door. 

Curious, Gilbert ventures out to discover the source of the light and stumbles into a beautiful Martian girl sitting in a crop circle. Farmer Johnson also investigates the strange light, and thinking that Gilbert and Aoléon are vandals, he chases them. But they sprint to Aoléon’s saucer and escape only to be pursued by the U.S. Air Force. 

Gilbert has never been attacked by swarms of giant killer robots. Never met strange aliens from other worlds. Never skyboarded across a megalopolis hidden deep inside an extinct volcano. Never trekked across a vast Martian desert. And never been eaten alive by a gigantic slor (well, almost never, unless you count Billy the fat bully at school). 

And luckily, he has never ever confronted an evil ruler of Mars bent on conquering the Earth to steal its cows. 

Never...until now! 

This may be the adventure Gilbert always wished for. 

If only he can survive.

My review:
This middle grade book is an absolute winner for me. I am a sci-fi kind of gal and this book was all about just that.

I could see many a kid curled up and riding along with Aoleon the martian taking in the wonders of her homeland Mars. Or better yet, just enjoying the wild ride. I know I would! The descriptive writing was fantastic. I could picture each place or 'person' through these very words.

The most amazing thing about this book was the photographs. I have read many books and never have seen photos that looked like they jumped out at you. This certainly added to the being of mesmerized by the book.

I really cannot say enough about this book except for to get a copy and then keep on reading the additional books that are to available in the new year.

5 stars for this high flying adventure!
