Free Chapter Books: Mystery, Bullying & Farts

Every once in a while I can find some chapter books for free on the Kindle that seem like they may be interesting. I usually have an aversion to vampires and werewolves and other science fiction, so that limits me a bit. Lately I have come across some freebies, though, that seem a little promising.

Please note that they are free as of the time that I am posting this. Prices are subject to change at any time. (I had one that was listed as free this morning, but by this afternoon was already back up to $1.99!) So always confirm the "Buy" price and ignore the "Prime" price when making your purchase.

The Sinister Submarine (Brant Twins Mysteries)

The Brant twins are Jimmy and Sally, who are as different as they could be. They travel around the world with their mother, a marine biologist, and their father, an ecological specialist, and often find themselves in the middle of a mystery.

In this book, they come across a WWII submarine in the middle of the Bahamas. There is no logical explanation as to why it is there. They save a dolphin while working with the US Coast Guard to collect clues as to this mystery submarine.

As of this posting, the book has 10 five-star reviews, some of which even liken the book to the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series.

When Farts Had Colors

Okay, so at first glance, this one appears to be one of the "gross" titles, I know. But actually, this one is supposed to be about bullying. Mondays are bad enough for 4th grader Lance Chance. But when the class bully cuts the nastiest fart on record, he blames it all on Lance. Lance wishes that farts had colors, so that it could be truly tracked back to their source. And his wish comes true...

2 Free Gross Books for Kids

Kids are gross and they love gross books. Today on Amazon, there are a couple of gross books that should be right up any kid's alley. I even had to download them both.

Please note that even though they are free at the time of this posting, this price is not a fixed guarantee. Always check the "Buy" price and not the "Prime" price prior to your purchase.
No Kindle? No worries. Download a free Kindle reading app for your smartphone, tablet or computer, or give in and purchase one of your own.

 The Booger Book: Pick It, Lick It, Roll It, Flick It!
Boogers are absolutely disgusting, yet kids can't help but stick their fingers up their noses. And then they have to do nasty things with their boogers. Even some grown up kids can't help themselves. This guide teaches kids all kinds of nasty things that they can do with those boogers. Boys, and a few girls, will probably be entertained quite a bit. And hey, at least they're reading, right?
