England, 1882. In Victorian London, two children with mysterious powers are hunted by a figure of darkness —a man made of smoke.Sixteen-year-old Charlie Ovid, despite a lifetime of brutality, doesn't have a scar on him. His body heals itself, whether he wants it to or not. Marlowe, a foundling from a railway freight car, shines with a strange bluish light. He can melt or mend flesh. When two grizzled detectives are recruited to escort them north to safety, they are forced to confront the nature of difference, and belonging, and the shadowy edges of the monstrous.
What follows is a journey from the gaslit streets of London, to an eerie estate outside Edinburgh, where other children with gifts—the Talents—have been gathered. Here, the world of the dead and the world of the living threaten to collide. And as secrets within the Institute unfurl, Marlowe, Charlie and the rest of the Talents will discover the truth about their abilities, and the nature of the force that is stalking them: that the worst monsters sometimes come bearing the sweetest gifts.
With lush prose, mesmerizing world-building, and a gripping plot, Ordinary Monsters presents a catastrophic vision of the Victorian world—and of the gifted, broken children who must save it.

Ok book with cute father theme
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I got this book for my husband (& son) for their first Father’s Day and overall I’d say it’s pretty cute for maybe a goodnight read or for bonding time. The cover is nice and sturdy, there’s lots of pages, and the illustrations are nice, but some of the lines are a little cheesy or rudimentary even for a kid’s book, in my opinion. Overall I’d recommend it, but I don’t think it’d be a favorite pick of all the others my son has.

Farts! What Every Young Boy Wants to Read About
Format: Paperback
My nephew was not into reading until we discovered this series of fart books. Now, he wants to read every night. As for the book itself, it's very humorous and carries a lesson about not growing up too fast.

Must buy!
Format: Paperback
my daughter is obsessed with these books. They bring such a smile to her face and it’s such an easy gift for year round as there’s one for each holiday. We currently have the valentine’s day book and this one. We hope to buy her the Santa one for christmas. I highly recommend buying these! It’s silly but also teaches your children that it’s just a normal thing that happens to EVERY human and there’s nothing to be ashamed about.
