This was amazing. So awesome. I might have a new favorite book. Amari’s brother, Quinton, disappeared six months ago, and everyone thinks he’s dead, but Amari refuses to give up. Then she finds a mysterious briefcase in Quinton’s closet. Apparently Quinton was part of The Bureau of Supernatural Investigations, and he’s nominated her for theContinue reading “Amari And The Night Brothers by B. B. Alston”

Wow, this was amazing. This is by the same author as Spirit Hunters. Five years ago, Princess Koko of Joson disappeared into the Kidahara—the magical and dangerous forest that occupies most of the kingdom—and never came back. Present day, men have come to Joson and are planning to cut down the Kidahara. The king’s brotherContinue reading “The Dragon Egg Princess by Ellen Oh”

I loved this SO much. This book talks about real problems people face. Clea can’t focus at all. She gets distracted by people breathing to loudly and chewing gum. It starts to be a problem, not just with school, but with chess and friends too. She blurts things out and gets annoyed easily. When sheContinue reading “Focused by Alyson Gerber”

Her best friend, Ada, startsContinue reading “And Then I Turned Into a Mermaid by Laura Kirkpatrick”

One day, Tanya’s mom sends her to live with her grandma. But Tanya hates it there. There are so many fairies in the woods that surround her grandma’sContinue reading “13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison”

Hello, everyone, sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I was hesitant to read this—I don’t know why—and have held out on reading it for a long time. Now that I’ve read it, I love it! Alex and Conner aren’t very excited for their birthday. They aren’t expecting any gifts, and they certainly aren’t expectingContinue reading “The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer”

This is a pretty great book. It’s filled with magic and terror. This story starts with a girl named Max. She has pink hair. Max and her disabled brother, Carter, are in Hamelin, Germany with their dad because of his work. Max would rather be back in New York with their mom. All the peopleContinue reading “The Peddler’s Road by Matthew Cody”

Okay, I forgot how creepy this book is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing book, but creepy nonetheless. This is set in 1899 at Biltmore estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Serafina has lived in Biltmore’s basement her entire life. Her pa keeps her hidden. Serafina is the C.R.C., the Chief Rat Catcher. Every night,Continue reading “Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty”

So, I am a massive Rick Riordan fan. He also wrote the Percy Jackson series. I preordered this book a day before it came out, and it arrived the day after it came out. I really loved this. It reminded me a lot of The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke. Ana Dakkar is a freshmenContinue reading “Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan”
