Miles Lewis: Matchmaker #3

From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans!

Valentine’s Day is approaching, and Miles Lewis doesn’t really like all the mush that comes with it. He is excited about the candy experiments they’re doing in science class, though. And when his teacher asks for adult volunteers to help out, Miles and his friend Jada share that they’re both planning on inviting their grandparents. That’s when they realize that Miles’s Nana and Jada’s Pop Pop have a lot in common–could they be a perfect match?

“Another great addition to this heartwarming series that introduces young readers to STEM activities along with a lesson about giving back to one’s community.” —School Library Journal, starred review

What readers say:

I bought this book for my daughter and I think she read it in one sitting. She says she loved it!

— Robyn Roberts

Jada Jones: Rock Star #1

My son is 7 and can read higher level books but still prefers books with some pictures when he reads on his own. This is a great story and reader for those easing out of graphic novels into more text in books that quick reads. We loved reading about Willie O’Ree and started watching Soul on Ice to learn more. We’re big fans of this author.

Miles Lewis: King of the Ice #1

This book profiles the uplifting voice of an activist worth recognizing in her own right [and] Lyons manages to weave in a healthy amount of emotion into this account . . . A brief but effective account of not-often-taught figure that would nicely complement curriculum units on the Civil Rights Movement.

She Persisted: Coretta Scott King

Ms. Lyons has written a sensational book that will inspire and uplift all readers regardless of age, gender or ethnicity.

NEATE Book 4: Eddie’s Ordeal

This was purchased for my 9 year old. She has been enjoying the Jada series.

— James Whitt III

Jada Jones: Class Act #2

An honest, inspiring STEM-focused story starring an incredibly relatable future scientist.

— Kirkus

Miles Lewis: Whiz Kid #2

I was so enthralled with Eddie’s Ordeal. There are so few books for youth that explore the communication between fathers and sons. This book crosses cultural boundaries as it addresses the commonalities in relationships with Dads and their sons and the importance of developing understanding between generations. It is a foundation builder and an uplifting story for children.

NEATE Book 4: Eddie’s Ordeal

I purchased the Jada Jones series book 1-4, for my 9 year old granddaughter she read all 4 of them the same day of delivery. She asked if the series was continuing I asked her to reread then complete a book report which she has done for all 4 books.
