Braidy Von Althuis and the Changeling Children (Book 4) by Cassidy Dwelis {YA Book Review}

January 1, 2021 by Leila | Leave a Comment

With all the holiday chaos, we fell behind in our reading, but we are finally sharing our review of book 4 in the Braid Von Althuis series!

Disclosure: I received this book to review through iRead Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Braidy Von Althuis and the Changeling Children (Book 4) by Cassidy Dwelis {YA Book Review}“All of the regret that she buried in her garden in America will grow up like weeds and swallow her like quicksand.”

Braidy von Althuis is celebrating his eleventh birthday, but not with his best friend. Mr. von Althuis has decided to move the family out of Maple Hills, and Braidy is forced to say goodbye to Kara and to eat his cake alone.

Even though the von Althuises have lived in Maple Hills for hundreds of years, something has spooked the adults so badly that they feel helpless without Gran. Something is coming for them, though Braidy knows not who or what.

When the family arrives in Ukraine, a whole slew of new problems arise. Mr. von Althuis gets a job, Uncle Rolo finds himself in more trouble, and Aunt Liz and Braidy are summoned to an audience with the Fairy King.

In order to go home, Braidy and Aunt Liz must solve riddles or belong to the Fairy King forever. Will Braidy and Aunt Liz be able to escape the Fairy King’s clutches or will heartache and memories of a life long gone tear Aunt Liz and Braidy apart?

This book is suitable for children aged 8 – 11.

This series is becoming a favorite for me. It is a little odd… a little strange… but the ‘magick’ and the fantasy and the action are just amazing.

The books have kept me on the edge of my seat, but they aren’t action packed and scary. There is just enough fright for a child to read, but not enough to scare them away.

Each book also showcases bravery, love, and so much personality. Shy, timid family members become heroes and surprise us all.

This book was no different, but focused on Aunt Liz, Braidy, and Kara. The story pulled at my heart strings and while I was not a fan of Aunt Liz the past books, I have a newfound respect for her.

I have said it before and I don’t think he has started them yet (screens are so annoying!) but I really think this book is the perfect series for my 12 year old son. (I know my 7 year old has been asking me to read them to her so I may let her read them instead!)

As an adult, I am enjoying the series and I am certain younger readers will as well!

Came home the other day and saw an envelope that s Came home the other day and saw an envelope that said "happy birthday". I got excited that someone sent me an early birthday card...

...except it wasn't for me. It was for Gibbs, our husky... who's birthday is 3 days before mine.

Guess that's what happens when you share your birthday week with the dog. 🤷‍♀️
I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week, but thankfully, hubby saw him yesterday and snapped a pic for me. I swear; Bear gives the cresties a run for their money when it comes to hide and seek!! 🤣
The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was looking for color wise (I was looking for a gray/lavender, and they seem more red), but I am def smitten. 🥰

This baby is a little spazzy at first but then loves to just chill and sit with me. They aren't quite as jumpy as Aspen (and def friendlier! Aspen still HATES being touched!)

Also, I'm not sure they were well cared for. Breeder said hatch date was 9-8-2022, but they are tiny! Not even the length of my pointer finger!

Anyway, welcome, Leif (pronounced Leaf; thank you, Kadenn...) to the zoo!
Releasing tomorrow!! 😍 I cannot wait!! Releasing tomorrow!! 😍

I cannot wait!!
Pics do not do this baby justice!! And Schuyler i Pics do not do this baby justice!!

And Schuyler is so much more chill than Aspen. I've been able to at least touch them daily and last night, they let me hold them!! HUGE difference from Aspen the spaz who wants no one in her space, none the less touching her! 🤣🤣
