Just looking for some people who can review a book and then possibly give a review. I have written two kids books that I really enjoyed writing with the help of a ghost writer. But they should be fun for adults too. One is a christmas book and how kids stumble across the North Pole. And another one is where kids find Grandpa's secret land. I have codes for audible that give you a free book but... need to make sure you have an account. Again thank Just looking for some people who can review a book and then possibly give a review. I have written two kids books that I really enjoyed writing with the help of a ghost writer. But they should be fun for adults too. One is a christmas book and how kids stumble across the North Pole. And another one is where kids find Grandpa's secret land. I have codes for audible that give you a free book but... need to make sure you have an account. Again thank you so much. The fixed price is for each book. So if you did both it would be $30. Hope this makes sense, and looking forward to hearing from you. Appreciate it. Thank you Show more details...
