My little boy and I loved the adventures of Terrence and his hairy hobgoblin friend, Milton. It's just spooky enough to keep the kids interested but not scary enough to give little ones nightmares. Looking forward to the next books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing read for all ages
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Terrence and the Magical Sword of Courage is an absolute gem. If you ever wondered what your teddy bear did after you fell asleep, you have to read this book. At once enchanting and humorous but still serious and heartfelt, this book will delight readers of all ages.

Terrence is a teddy hero worth cheering for. His heart is stuffed to bursting with love and the need to protect his boy from the nightmare-wielding goblins (who ride turkeys, which is just awesome). Though terrified, Terrence fights past his fear to do what he needs to do to keep his boy safe. Terrence’s world is richly described and imagined. I found myself drawn into the different places Terrence went, able to picture them perfectly. The author’s attention to detail and use of terms specific to a teddy bear’s existence only made this book even more of an immersive experience.

Parents, this is an excellent choice for your early chapter book-aged child. The humor is spot on. The characters are relatable, and the lessons they learn are important ones. There are moments of darkness, but the darkness only makes the lighter parts of the story shine even more. This is a tale of friendship, loyalty, and adventure that will keep kids and adults alike turning pages.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017
I read an advanced reader copy of this book, though I do not know the author. I loved it from the first sentence all the way through the perfect ending. It has a clear message of finding courage and light within ourselves. The story revolves around a teddy bear that is supposed to protect his child from nightmares, but the bear is timid and lacks confidence. He learns to be courageous and be bold in the task before him as he goes on adventures to UnderBed and ClosetVille. Children will definitely relate to Terrence as they read. The book explores the theme of confronting fears, so it has periods of anxiety but it is well worth the read for the resolutions. There are moments of comic relief that I loved as well. The writing style and descriptions are delightful. The storytelling is fun but not overly simple. It would make a great read-aloud book to share with children. My 8-year-old also enjoyed reading the book and even named her teddy bear Terrence so it can protect her while she sleeps.

Purchased from the author at a book fair. Read this story to make sure it wasn't too scary for my 8 year old. By the end I found myself cheering for the Teddy Bear in his battle against the Gobblenaughts. Definitely hope for more of these to share with my kids.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2019
Terrence is the perfect protagonist for young kids who might be afraid of the dark. My little ones love this story. They were always excited for their nightly chapter before bed. The story had enough twists and turns to keep them interested and a little anxious for Terrence and Liam without being too scared to sleep. I’d recommend this story to anyone!

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017
Fun and original invention. There are hints to many more possible adventures for this teddy bear. It promises to be the type of stories to help kids conquer fears and anxieties. Plenty of new words for young readers to learn and use. We should all be excited to see what is in store for Terrence the Teddy Bear.
Perfect for middle grade readers of varying interest. This series will be great to use with children to help their imaginations and vocabulary grow. The frightening moments aren't too bad. It's fairly easy to cheer the hero on through the darker moments and hold on to hope that everything will be alright.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE SWORD OF SHANNARA meets TOY STORY
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017
Terrence is a teddy bear, the guardian of a child named Liam. Terrence is also a bit of a fraidy-bear, and when a new clan of turkey-riding goblins come to threaten his boy, he seeks reinforcement -- in the form of a legendary magical sword.

TERRENCE AND THE MAGICAL SWORD OF COURAGE is a charming and quirky quest story in which the stakes couldn't be higher: the life of a young boy, and the soul of a stuffed bear.
