About this ebook
...Each time I put my foot down, it sank deeper into trash. The crunch and grind of it all sounded like monsters coming to eat me.
"Oh my goodness!" The crunching and grinding got louder. So loud, I knew it couldn't be just us.
My hands shook and my feet stopped working right. I didn't want to look behind me.
Then something smacked me in the back of my head! My eyes got all cloudy with tears.
I looked behind me. Big mistake....

Reviews for Lexie World
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Bella World is the second book in the series, and after reading Lexie World, I was happy to jump right into this book. Bella World is about Bella, and her two sisters, who now know of magical realms hidden in a path in the woods. Much like in Lexie World, once the girls find themselves in Bella’s world, they’re quickly met with amazing creatures and people. They find a quaint town, now ravaged by a dangerous dragon, and it’s up to Bella to save the town and its people. Again, Kinrade has done a superb job of weaving valuable lessons into an entertaining story. Lessons that are good for both kids and parents. The timing of reading this book couldn’t have been better for me, dealing with a daughter on the cusp of ‘tween’, and helping her learn how to deal with her emotions. This book does a wonderful job of teaching how to handle feelings, how to make the right choices, and how our choices create circumstance. It’s a hard lesson to teach, to children and us (often stubborn) adults, but Kinrade has managed to tap into strong core values and paint them into a beautiful story.As I said after reading the first book in the series, I would gladly pick up any of Kinrade’s books and share them with my kids. Because they’re not only interesting stories, they’re wonderful lessons for us both. And what better way to learn them, than by reading it together as a family. Kinrade is again worthy of applause for an amazing book added to the series. I would be happy to read the next in the series, and highly recommend it to kids and parents alike.A copy was provided by the author for review.

Chapter 1- Where My Socks Disappear
I slammed open the glass door and raced into my kitchen. The smells of dinner cooking tingled my senses. Mmmm, Mommy's making her super yummy meatloaf. Smells almost done. The sniffinator never lies. Mommy, Daddy, guess what? Madelynne caught a snake! It's so cool, you have to come see. Hurry!
Mommy came into the kitchen and smiled. I ran into her arms for a big hug. Mommy-hugs were the best. She smelled like cinnamon and had big blue eyes that looked like swimming pools. She kissed my forehead.
Lexie, honey, where are your shoes? And socks? And jacket?
Uh-oh. Mommy's gonna be mad. Time for the big eyes and baby voice. I'm sorry, Mommy. I left them by the trampoline outside.
The weather, obviously trying to get me in trouble, started throwing raindrops at the roof of our house. And probably at our neighbor's backyard too, where my clothes would be getting soaked.
Mommy looked at me with those eyes. Lexie....
I'll go get them super fast.
I ran out of the house before she could get madder.
My feet froze after being so warm in the house, and I shivered as rain attacked me. I found my sisters playing by the trampoline. Madelynne, Bella, we have to go in the house. You better not bring the snake. Mommy won't like that.
I found my jacket, but couldn’t find my shoes. Or my socks. The rain came down harder, like taking a shower, only it was super cold. I shivered again. Time to go home.
I ran after my big sisters. Wait up, guys. Don’t leave me!
Madelynne—my way-bigger 9-year-old sister—turned to look at me. Hurry up, Lexie. I'm cold and hungry.
I ran faster, but my foot slipped on something slick, and the hard, cold ground smacked me in the head!
Ahhhh! Mommy! Daddy! Mommy! Daddy!
Tears mixed with the rain on my face. My head hurt super bad.
Daddy ran out of the house and came to me. Are you okay? What happened?
Madelynne spoke before I could. She was running and she slipped. Is she okay?
I looked up at Daddy. Then looked up some more. I was pretty sure my daddy was the tallest man in the whole world.
He leaned down next to me. She's fine. Just a bit of a bump.
He picked me up in his strong arms and carried me into the house. The rain stayed outside, and Mommy pulled out the turkey meatloaf just as we came in.
I hiccupped a few times, trying to calm down my crying so I could talk. Is it time to eat?
Mommy set the meatloaf on the counter and came over to kiss my bumped head. Almost. I need to make the salad. Are you okay?
She looked at Daddy; probably they were using their psychic powers to talk. They did that all the time so us kids couldn't hear them. Whatever Daddy said in her mind seemed to make her feel better. That little line on her forehead—the one she always got when she was worried—disappeared and she smiled.
I see you found your jacket. Did it happen to come with shoes and socks?
I wondered if I should start crying again and say my head hurt. Maybe I'd get in less trouble. Daddy put me down and went to kiss Mommy. They did that all the time too, the kissing thing. Why do you always do that?
Do what?
Mommy asked.
Kiss at the end of sentences.
Mommy and Daddy both laughed, but I didn't know why.
Would you rather us not kiss at all?
Mommy asked.
"No. Just not at the end, or beginning, or
