Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
20 Survival Stories for Kids
Moreira Newton · 2025
58/100
👎 Skip It
Twenty short survival stories for the 8–12 set is a concept with real market appeal — the genre is consistently popular and the themes of resilience and bravery align nicely with what schools and parents want right now. The problem is that Moreira Newton and the publisher have no established track record, no reviews exist, and the multiple simultaneous ISBNs suggest a high-volume, low-investment publishing approach rather than a carefully crafted collection. There might be a good book here, but the evidence isn't there yet to back it.
