    The Children’s Book Review

    TheIfsThe Ifs by J.D. Pooker.

    Two brothers, unusual creatures, and dangerous battles equal a lot of excitement.

    Reading level: Ages 8 and up

    Paperback and eBook: 132 pages

    Book Overview

    “Mom, Landon’s throwing food!”

    “No, I’m not!”

    Landon and Broden are brothers. Some days they DO NOT get along very well. They spend most of their time fighting, arguing and plotting ways to get revenge on each other.

    Then, strange things start happening…

    Noises in their room that are not the cat.

    Homework is mysteriously finished.

    A broken shoelace repairs all by itself.

    Clothes are put in the hamper on their own.

    The brothers want to share their weird experiences, but they don’t know if they can trust each other. But when they find out who’s behind all the strange things around the house, they are called to battle.

    Battle? Whoa! Right there in the forest by their house! A battle with the most unusual creatures and wildest of beasts. And when the battle turns more dangerous than they imagined, Landon and Broden must face their fears, put their grudges aside and learn how to work together.

    About the Author

J.D. likes to spend time with her family and go camping, fishing, and snowmobiling. Her sons, Landon and Broden, were the inspiration for The Ifs. While they are not quite as old as the brothers in the book, they enjoy camping, fishing, and snowmobiling with their parents.
