Disney: Epic Mickey

Disney: Epic Mickey

By Disney Book Group

Honestly, the cover looks really intense. It turns out, Mickey Mouse, a beloved 90 year celebrated character by Walt Disney, must go to the Cartoon Wasteland, a land where forgotten cartoon characters live. And, Mickey must stop the Beetleworx!

Fire World (Last Dragon Chronicles, Book 6)

Fire World (Last Dragon Chronicles, Book 6)

By Chris d'Lacey

2 stars--I don't want my review to be long and rambling, so let me just get to the point--I did NOT like this book. I didn't finish it--I read about 1/3 of the story before I got bored OUT OF MY MIND and had to put it down. I've read some of Chris D'Lacey's other works before, including the first five books in the Last Dragon Chronicles, so I really tried to give Fire World a chance--but it wasn't very enjoyable for me. There was almost NO action in the first third of the book. None of the people actually do anything. It's just the main character, David, living in a huge library (called the Librarium) with his friend Rosa and the Librarium's curator, Mr. Henry (who, BTW, is as dull as drying cement and not at all a noteworthy character). David doesn't have much of a personality either, other than having a crush on Rosa. I really wish there was more action and character development--the story would've been interesting if there was. Then there's Aunt Gwyneth. I just HATED her personality and the way she acted, as if she's better than everyone else. In the previous books, she was a villain for some time, but a GOOD one. I enjoyed her snappy comments and wily personality. But in this book, she's just an annoying bully who uses power and brute force to get what she wants. The plot was kind of cliche, too. The characters are living in a different world, where the only inhabitants are humans with special powers and strange creatures called firebirds. As the story progresses, the main characters eventually discover the existence of dragons. Now, where have I seen that before? I'm not saying the story needs to be completely original, but this plotline of people discovering that mythical creatures are real seems overused. The only reason I'm giving the book 2 stars instead of 1 is because D'Lacey describes everything in great detail and the world building is okay. Also, the cover is absolutely AMAZING. Seriously, it looks like a professional artist designed it. So if there are more books in the series after this one, I probably won't be reading them, because Fire World didn't live up to my expectations. This is my honest opinion.

Ham Helsing #1: Vampire Hunter

Ham Helsing #1: Vampire Hunter

By Moyer, Rich

the book is so funny! i am wondering why the pigs jump of the high cliff, did they do this on purpose? if they did, they might want to die, and if they didn't, they might think it is fun or not dangerous to do that. i LOVE this book.

Kenny & the Dragon

Kenny & the Dragon

By Tony DiTerlizzi

This was a really nice story. I liked reading this one before bed since it calmed me down a lot and made me forget about my worries. During the day though, I wasn't super excited to continue on with the story, and I got into a bit of a reading slump, so this wasn't a super memorable book for me. It's about a rabbit named Kenny who meets a Dragon named Grahame near his home. They actually become close friends, but the townsfolk start spreading rumors about the dragon and plan to kill him! In the end, Kenny teaches the village a great lesson about seeing beyond one's appearance.

The Guardian Herd: Starfire

The Guardian Herd: Starfire

By Jennifer Lynn Alvarez

5 stars--If I could summarize this book with one word, it would be "WOW". In all caps. I just can't get over how amazing this was. I laughed, cried, raged, had deep thoughts, throughout the story--my emotions were all over the place. In a GOOD way. I haven't read such great books in a long time, and diving into the lush world of The Guardian Herd felt like opening a Christmas present. The characters, the world building, the plot--all of it was beyond amazing. I will admit, some of it wasn't exactly the most original (the characters' names, for instance), but that didn't make the book any less awesome. I loved Star, the main character. He's a young pegasus who can't fly, who's bullied and taunted by the other pegasi in his herd. He's also the dreaded black foal--on his first birthday, he will become more powerful than any of them can imagine, and that power will be either good or bad. Star's herd-mates are scared that he'll turn out like Nightwing the Destroyer--a black foal who lived long ago, and who tried to destroy all the herds with his power. So Star's herd wants to execute him on his first birthday. Alvarez makes you feel like you're in the story, experiencing what the characters experience. I felt my heart pounding when Star was in danger, and bursting with happiness whenever something good happened to him. It was so fun to follow him on his journey--he has a caring and kind, yet complex personality that I loved. I could sympathize with almost all the characters, and put myself in their shoes (or I guess I should say hooves). I felt like there was more to every character, even the power-hungry, generic villain types like Rockwing. Another thing was that I haven't really seen many books at the library with pegasi in them--unicorns, sure. But pegasi? Not really. So this was a unique, intriguing read for me. Also, since I'd read the Riders of the Realm series by Alvarez beforehand (It's like a second arc to the Guardian Herd series, except it follows a different pegasus), I found it nice to meet a few familiar characters. So, I did love this book, and it has become one of my all-time favorites. The Guardian Herd is a series I hadn't heard of before it caught my eye at the library. And I feel like I have to put this last part in all caps: I NEED THE NEXT BOOK.

Saving Shiloh

Saving Shiloh

By Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

I decided to read this book because it has a beagle name Shiloh in the story and I love dogs. Good for anyone beetween nine and thirteen years of age but especially recommended for dag lovers.
