Braidy Von Althuis and the Gullible Ghost Hunter (Book 2) by Cassidy Dwelis {YA Book Review}

November 10, 2020 by Leila | 3 Comments

Starting with book 2 in the Braidy Von Althuis series didn’t hinder me – it just made me want to go back and read all the books! Read below for me review and see for yourself!

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 Gullible Ghost Hunter (Book 2) by Cassidy Dwelis {YA Book Review}“Braidy felt a churning cauldron of fear stirring in his stomach. Uncle Rolo had the habit of destroying good things.”

Ten-year-old Braidy von Althuis finally has what he needs: a good friend, Saturday-Morning cartoons, and a loving family. While life has been perfect since Braidy defeated the warlock that attempted to kidnap his father, Braidy knows the quiet will not last.

Strangeness creeps through Maple Hills, especially since a ghost hunter moved into town.

This ghost hunter has Braidy’s dead Uncle Rolo worried sick, but Braidy’s family thinks the newcomer in town is harmless. Braidy feels otherwise, and to make matters worse, a friend from Uncle Rolo’s past comes to call.

Will Uncle Rolo follow the rules and stay safe, or will Braidy watch his uncle tear their family apart?

Braidy von Althuis and the Gullible Ghost Hunter is a story about telling the truth, taking responsibility, and what it means to be a family.

This book is suitable for children aged 8 – 11.

My hopes in reading the Braidy Von Althuis series was to find a book that my tween and I could read. Unfortunately, for me, my son refuses to read it because it’s book 2 of a series and “he doesn’t like to start books in the middle of a series”. Fortunately for me, that just means I will have to grab book 1, read it first, and then share with him so he can move on!

While my son pointed out; The Gullible Ghost Hunter is book 2 in the series, it did not matter one bit in my opinion. I wasn’t lost; I didn’t feel I was missing anything (other than wanting to go back and read what seems like would be a great read!)

I will admit, the book itself – character wise – was a little… far fetched at the beginning. Definitely a different sort of paranormal than I am used to, but it made it all the more fun for me to read and was the entire purpose of wanting to read it as my two oldest are into paranormal.

While Braidy is the main focus of The Gullible Ghost Hunter, a lot of the story revolves around his Uncle Rolo, the town’s ghost hunter, and a mystery visitor.

The entire book was fun, light, and perfect for younger kids. I think it may be a bit too much of a read for my 7 year old, but perfect for my 12 year old.

I look forward to reading book 5 in the series, but also going back and getting the other books to read and bond over with my tween! It really is a series that I think he would enjoy and definitely recommend for the middle grade kids!

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! 🤣🤣
