Alright, I just had to post this one. For those of you who might be a bit scared of the dark, don’t be, there’s no toadies under your bed and there’s nothing in your closet (except clothes). I for one can not wait to watch the show on Netflix. Yeah, I know it’s already out,Continue reading “A Babysitter’s Guide To Monster Hunting by Joe Ballarini”

When Miri gets sent to her room, she accidentally goes back in time seventy years! She meets Molly, who’s living with her terrible Aunt Flo, and her cousins, Horst and Sissy. Please don’t ask why someone is named Sissy. Miri has always felt different, her younger sisters, Nell and Nora, are twins. And her bigContinue reading “The Magic Half by Annie Barrows”

Scary (but not too scary) fun, this book shows that not everything is as it seems. It all starts when two boys tie a necklace to a wild animal. Corinne La Mer doesn’t believe in the Jumbies, monsters that live in the forest, most people on the island believe in them, and for good reason.Continue reading “The Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste”

Ashley is an artist, her dad is a known criminal, and she’s been bouncing from foster home to foster home. Her newest foster family, the Nolan’s, are funny and nice, Yuka is a scientist, Kitch is an artist like Ashley. When Yuka brings home a suspicious bag, Ashley sneaks in and finds it, when sheContinue reading “Primer by Jennifer Muro and Thomas Krajewski”

This is nothing like Disney’s Rapunzel, she doesn’t start off at the tower, she finds out Gothel isn’t her real mother pretty soon in the book, not to mention, she meets Jack from Jack and the beanstalk! If you can imagine Rapunzel the cowgirl, then you’ve kinda got this Rapunzel in your head. Gothel hasContinue reading “Rapunzel’s Revenge by Shannon and Dean Hale”

This book kinda relates to my previous post, UnWritten by Tara Gilboy, the characters in both books are a bit indignant that authors have ruined their lives. A great read. Life is boring, life is boring, life is boring. At least it is for Owen, but when he sees his classmate, Bethany, climb out ofContinue reading “Story Thieves by James Riley”

This book is interesting, it welcomes the good and the bad. I liked it because I’m a writer to, and I loved reading about an author. Gracie knows she came from a fairytale, an unpublished work, she knows she’s supposed to die in the story. She wants answers, she wants to read the story, butContinue reading “UnWritten by Tara Gilboy”

There are two witches, one good, one evil. The people only know of one, and they think she is evil. Each year a baby is left in the woods to die, people think the witch kills the baby’s, or eats them. But in truth, the witch, Xan, does not know why the people leave theirContinue reading “The Girl Who Drank The Moon by Kelly BarnHill”

This one‘s kinda sad. It also reminds me of Cinderella. There are even scenes from Cinderella! Something about glass slippers and midnight, maybe? Poor Ella, she has to listen to everything anyone’s tells her to do. If someone told her to cut off her head, she would have to! After her mother’s funeral she meetsContinue reading “Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine”

This is one of my favorites! Awesome story, hardships in friendships, and robots! Lots of robots. They’re not thought of as machines, their thought of as pets, friends, Bakus. A woman named Monica Chan built a robot that acted like a companion. Now everyone in the country has one! I think one of the funniestContinue reading “Jinxed by Amy McCulloch”
