- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2022Little Book has been a best seller in Mrs. Cash’s Books’ll Thrill Ya bookstore, but now his shelf life is rapidly coming to an end. Desperate to extend his shelf life, the child-like hero accepts a daring mission to rescue sci-fi action hero Luke Shelfwalker who has been booknapped and gone missing on the dark side. So Little Book journeys to the Kingdom of No Return ruled by Princess Formalda Hyde. Nothing will stop him from completing his assignment, not even the enemies of books (a.k.a. the marauders, such as spiders, silverfish, mice, and roaches) who dwell in the forbidden territory. Can Little Book find Captain Shelfwalker? Is he able to convince Shelfwalker to return with him? Or will he himself be counted as yet another casualty of the merciless dark side?
Journey to the Kingdom of No Return is Book 2 of the “Shelf Life” series. There are a few common euphemisms (such as “golly”), but overall it is a well written fantasy story for middle schoolers and adults alike that is easy to read and follow with no objectionable elements. And there are positive values. One reviewer noted the following: “The characters do more than simply come to ‘life.’ They deliver the message that nothing lasts forever. However, there is hope! Little Book and his friends show us that we don’t have to simply accept the decisions that someone else makes for us. We can take a stand and choose our own destiny.” Another reader found it really funny that the video game section is the furthest back in the store that borders the dark side, as if there were some symbolism to the dark nature of video games over books. Book 3 in the series is Battle for the Red Eye Throne.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021I was totally lost. Could not get into it. Maybe it's because I'm older. I don't know.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022Life is going well for Little Book. He's an international bestseller, and all the other books at the bookstore love him. However, he receives some very upsetting news: he is being moved to the musty shelves in the sales aisle. But Little Book is not ready to leave his fame so quickly, and he strikes a deal with Ranger Depth, the bookstore sheriff. The celebrity of the bookstore, Luke Shelfwalker, has gone missing, suspected to have been abducted by the dark side. If Little Book can survive going to the video game aisles and rescues Luke Shelfwalker, he will receive eternal Shelf Life. But saving Luke isn't going to be as easy as Little Book hopes. Will he be able to do it, or will the enemies get the best of him once and for all?
Opinion:
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. Similar to the first book in this series, the character development in this story was excellent. I liked how despite most of the characters being objects, the author was able to create unique characteristics and backstories for all of them. The pacing of this story was also great, I really liked how the story started off a little slow but quickly picked up speed. Lastly, I enjoyed how this book was centered more around Little Book whereas I felt the first book focused on other characters as well. The one thing I did not like about this book was that it seemed unrealistic the Little Book would go so quickly from being a best seller to being on the sales rack. Other than that, I think this was an excellent read, and I highly recommend it for readers looking for a fun book... about books!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021A co-worker bought the first book, Shelf Life - Never Turn the Page Too Soon, as a birthday gift for my daughter. Before giving it to her I read it and found myself laughing out loud. Later, I purchased it for my nephew. He loved it!
Recently, I purchased the latest installment Shelf Life II – Journey to the Kingdom of No Return, for both my daughter and nephew. Like the first installment the cover art is eye catching and colorful. The characters do more than simply come to “life.” They deliver the message that nothing lasts forever. However, there is hope! Little Book and his friends show us that we don’t have to simply accept the decisions that someone else makes for us. We can take a stand and choose our own destiny. This is exactly the message that I convey to my daughter on a daily basis. No matter her age or size all things are possible and Little Book proves it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2021I was super excited to get the follow-up book to Never Turn the Page Too Soon. Author Leslie R. Henderson didn't disappoint! Journey to the Kingdom of No Return was as well written and just as fun to read. My grandkids love Little Book and his adventures. I highly recommend both books for middleschoolers and adults alike.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021I find it really funny that the video game section is the furthest back in the store that borders the dark side. Is there some symbolism to the dark nature of video games over books? I enjoyed the extension of the setting of the bookstore. The "dark side" actually takes place in the storage room. The assumption would be that nobody cleans out the storage spaces, so the books and other items can stay there forever. The cover is once again amazing, and it shows an actual scene from the story. Henderson also did a great job making that environment creepy; I hate spiders and silverfish. *Shudder*
I enjoyed the subtle humor and frustration, like how Timothy Smithers never puts a book back where it belongs. I understand that frustration completely as I used to volunteer at my local library. Putting the children's section and the ones near it back in order were quite a chore sometimes. It is also true that sunlight can fade the art of a book and can trigger chemical changes in the pages, and many places do try to rotate shifts of what books are in the windows the longest. I also love the comedic and truthful timing of phases like "guns and kids don't mix" (49).
