I love this, though I might be biased, considering the author is one of my best friends! The main character has the same name as the author, by the way. One day, Aria’s family vanishes. Just disappears. She goes to her friend Samantha for help and they discover Mythaya, a mythical land full of dragons,Continue reading “Mythaya: The First Adventure by Aria Meyers”

I loved it, even though it started out a little slow. This is set several years after the end of Disneys’ Brave. You don’t have to have watched the movie to understand this book, though.

I really liked this! Eli writes horror stories, Neha draws a fairytale world, and Court is great at getting into and out of trouble. These three kids barely know each other, but Court ends up with one of Neha’s drawings, and there’s something alive in it: a weasel/otter thing named Sleekit. Neha’s fairytale world isContinue reading “Twist by Sarah Cannon”

Jack gives Feenix aContinue reading “The Tiltersmith by Amy Herrick”
