I loved this, it shows that girls can do anything. Meet Cimorene, a princess who is classified as improper by her parents. She forces the swordmaster to teach her fencing, she forces the magician to teach her magic. Then her parents tell her she is to marry a prince she certainly does not want toContinue reading “Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede”

Tess and Max are brother and sister. As with most siblings, they fight, one of these fights leads to Tess finding a gate and a key. The gate has no fence. At least not one that she can see. She opens the gate with the key and meets William, a strange boy who lives withContinue reading “The Castle In The Mist by Amy Ephron”

I finished this one pretty quick! It was good, I’ve read better, but still, good nonetheless. Emily lives on a boat, but she’s never gone swimming. Ever! When her mother finally lets her take swimming classes, something really weird happens to her legs! That night, she goes into the water and she turns into aContinue reading “The Tail of Emily WindSnap by Liz Kessler”

From the same author as Dead City, this is a really good book. Sara—or Brooklyn, depending on whether you’re asking before or after she became a spy—was arrested for hacking, but she was doing it for good cause. Someone unexpected shows up and busts her out. Now she’s a spy at FARM, she makes friendsContinue reading “City Spies by James Ponti”

Love it! This was a really good book, but I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of all the lovey, girls must be saved by boys thing, and I definitely don’t agree with all the pink. My favorite character was Agatha and I plan on reading the next book. I like it, IContinue reading “The School For Good And Evil by Soman Chainani”

I loved this book from start to finish. And I especially liked the part where it says “Are we happily ever after yet?” On the cover. Rory is the daughter of two divorced celebrities and she hates all the attention she gets because of it. But when she starts going to an after school programContinue reading “Of Giants And Ice by Shelby Bach”

It took me over a month to finish this. Not because it was long, but because I just couldn’t get into it. It was kinda boring, though it has a good story of friendship and sisters. Snow and Rose are sisters who used to live in a big mansion, I can’t remember why they leftContinue reading “Snow And Rose by Emily Winfield Martin”

It took me a bit to get into it (meaning I didn’t finish the first chapter for three days). Celia is princess of Castle Glower, her father is King Glower. Her brother Rolf is the heir to the throne. When Rolf, Celia and their sister, Lilah, receive news that their parents are dead, Celia reliesContinue reading “Tuesdays At The Castle by Jessica Day George”

This one was a bit sad, but I enjoyed reading it. Rebecca’s parents separate and Rebecca, her brother and her mom go to live with her Grandmother. Rebecca feels like her mom doesn’t care, so she ignores her and will not talk to her at all. When Rebecca finds a breadbox in the attic, sheContinue reading “Bigger Than A Bread Box by Laurel Snyder”

I can’t say how much I love this book, it draws me into the story so much. I’ve cried along with Sophie at the hard parts, I’ve gasped loudly enough for my sister to say ‘what?!’ at surprising parts and I’ve dreamed up hundreds of different scenes where I’m a character. I feel like IContinue reading “Keeper Of The Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger”
