Janitors – A Fun Book Series for Kids and Adults!

by

All of my kids love to read or be read to, but my daughter is a READER! I would even go as far to say she is addicted to reading.  She can read a book while she walks around the house.  One of her favorite book series is Janitors by Tyler Whitesides  A while ago my dad gave my kids the CD of the 1st Janitors, and they have listened to it over and over again.  When we got the books for two and three they were so excited!  My husband evens loves them and reads them to the kids at nights before they go to bed! We were so excited to receive these books from Deseret Book to review.  Lala had all three of them read in a week!

If you like Fablehaven, or Harry Potter, you will love this fun story about Spencer, his mom, friend Daisy and the Rebel Janitors trying to save education from being being flushed down the drain.

LaLa wanted to help me with my review by writing a little about why she LOVES Janitors….

The Janitors series are fun imaginative books that brings to life things in my mind that make my imagination run wild.  I love to imagine myself in these books.  These books seem to somehow make me want to listen or read them over and over again.  Number 3 was the wildest adventure of all of them and my favorite of the three.  Tyler Whiteside did a great job in making a fun series that kids and adults can love!!

 Here is a little snippet about each book…
 Janitors, Book 1

No one takes Spencer Zumbro seriously when he tried to warn his classmates about the mysterious things prowling the halls and classrooms of Welcher Elementary School. But when he sees Marv, the janitor, going after one of the creatures with a vacuum, he knows he’s not the only one who can see them.
With the help of his new friends, Daisy, Spencer has to find out what the janitors know. The children’s search uncovers the magic taking place behind the scenes of their seemingly ordinary school, where a battle is being waged for the minds of the students. Who can be trusted – and can Spencer and Daisy protect their school and possibly the world?
