Book Reviews from readers

Reviewer: JDTxAggie (Frisco, TX)
"Clinky The Clown has everything in it that I love about books. It has excitement, adventure and a mystery to solve. I think that there should be more books like this one in book stores. This is a book that you and your kids can not put down. It is hilarious how Clinky, Wacky, Glenda and Danny figure out all the different clues left by Clinky's great, great, great grandfather. It's a great book for the whole family! I give this book 2 thumbs up and a shout out to you readers that you should read this book."
Reviewer: A. Kaplan (Allen, TX)
"Great book! First time author, Eric L. Hogue, really hit a home run with this book. It's a great story about overcoming prejudice in a very positive way. The chapters devoted to honesty, obeying parents and telling the truth was also educational, entertaining and down right funny! It does deliver a great message in a very entertaining style. I read it to my little girl and was even surprised by the ending! It is a fun and entertaining mystery for all age groups!"
Reviewer: E. Alexander (Wylie, TX)
"This is a very unique story with an entertaining and positive lesson for all ages. It has mystery, adventure, and a surprise ending plus a great message about tolerance and the importance of judging people by what is inside rather than the color of their skin. The book follows Clinky, a young "Realclown", as he discovers clues left to him by his great, great, great, grandfather. These clues set him and his friends on a mission to save Happyville and make it a place that both "Plainfaces" and "Realclowns" alike can live."
