Timea Barabas: Best Sellers World, 2025

Alison Bellringer offers young readers a delightful escape with The Bronson Escapades. Lighthearted and enchanting, the book invites us into the tender world of childhood wonder and innocence. Each page feels like a breath of fresh air, making this a truly family-friendly read. Throughout the story, we follow the Bronson family; especially their five children… Alison Bellringer welcomes readers into the magical realm of childhood, where wonder is found in simplicity. Everyday moments (like a trip to the store or the search for a lost ring) unfold into grand adventures. What makes the journey especially engaging is seeing how each of the Bronson children responds in their own unique way when faced with the same situation… With every exciting chapter, these characters grow more vivid and familiar, until by the final page, it feels as though the reader has gained five new, fun-loving friends. As the story draws to a close, there’s a bittersweet tug at the heart, like saying farewell to dear companions. Yet it may not be goodbye at all, but rather a hopeful “see you next time”. In October 2024, The Bronson Escapades was honored with the Mom’s Choice Awards® Silver Seal of Excellence. And it is an excellent read indeed. Although written primarily for young readers ages 8 to 12, the stories hold a charm that can captivate readers of all ages.
