Heidi Heckelbeck Has a Secret

Heidi Heckelbeck Has a Secret

By Wanda Coven

I decided to read this book because by the cover and by reading the summary on the back, I thought this book would be very interesting. It was about this girl named Heidi that went to school for the first time ever. This is because she was always homeschooled by her mother with her little brother. She didn't want to go to school in the first place, but she had no choice but to go. She thought it was going to be bad but she made a new friend. But she also made an enemy that didn't like her. But, she found many ways to avoid her even though that girl did horrible things to Heidi. She decided she likes school after all. I liked this book a lot because I thought it was very interesting. This is why I gave this book a 4 star.

The Magic Misfits: The Minor Third

The Magic Misfits: The Minor Third

By Neil Patrick Harris

This book was amazing! Before the Mineral Wells talent show, Theo is torn between magic and music, friends and family, wondering who he should perform with. The Magic Misfits meet a girl named Emily, and he starts developing a crush on her, but the others don't trust her. Her father, Mick Meridian, made Theo's prized violin and many other things. The Misfits then find out a ventriloquist known as Wendel Whispers is coming to town, and they think he is working for an enemy and that they can solve another mystery about Dante Vernon's past. For those who read the book, I may have discovered something about the cover. You'll probably understand what I mean if you've finished it. The white stuff behind Theo, that's not smoke...

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

By Jessica Townsend

11-year-old Morrigan Crow has always been blamed for everything. Since she was born on an Eventide, the beginning of a new age in her town Jackalfax, she is cursed to die on midnight the next Eventide, along with all the other kids that were unluckily born on that day as well, which makes her a bad-luck charm throughout her town. But when Eventide unexpectedly occurs early, Morrigan receives a mysterious letter from a man called Jupiter North, asking her to become his apprentice. It's an amazing opportunity, and even though it's almost midnight, she signs it, as all her hope is not yet lost. Suddenly, a strange man appears in her room, and with a narrow escape from midnight that Eventide, they crash through the massive clock tower of the town and are transported into seemingly into another world, a magical place called Nevermoor, thus cheating her death! The man, as Morrigan finds out, is the one and only Jupiter North! He brings her to his grand hotel and he tells her that he is entering her into a series of trials determining if she can get into the prestigious Wundrous Society, something Morrigan soon desperately wants to become part of, so she can finally be part of a family. She will have to compete against 500 other kids who are also competing for the few spots available, and if she can make it past the first few trials, she will have to present her special "knack" to the judges. But Morrigan has no clue what her special talent is, or how she'll figure it out! This question presses her as she is tested through every twist and turn of the Trials. Will Morrigan ever figure out her knack and become part of the Wondrous Society? Or will she have to be taken back to Jackalfax and face a terrible fate? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! No joke, this is literally one of my favorite books OF. ALL. TIME!! If it was possible to give this book 10 stars, I would!! The plot is gripping and magical. I loved the action and suspense of the Trials, and one of my favorite parts is Christmas-- it is so so good! I cannot wait until the next book comes out! Jessica Townsend is a fantastic author and I love how she shaped the characters throughout the book. I really enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend this book to any fantasy-loving person, and everybody else as well! :)

Planet of the Lawn Gnomes (Goosebumps Most Wanted #1)

Planet of the Lawn Gnomes (Goosebumps Most Wanted #1)

By R.L. Stine

March17, 2014 What I liked about Goosebumps Most Wanted Planet of the Lawn Gnomes By: Carter If you like scary stories and everything about scary stories, Goosebumps Most Wanted Planet of the Lawn Gnomes by R.L Stine is the book for you. What happens is Jay Gardener just moved and he keeps getting in trouble it is never his fault! In every yard is a lawn gnome. Jay hates those lawn gnomes so much. I really like that it is scary and that a black bird almost ate his dog. The last reason I like it is a lawn gnome made an M on his head. This is why you should read this book.

Anya's Ghost

By Vera Brosgol

~Cool Gurl~

This book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. It has everything a book could have!!! I wouldn't say it's for KIDS, because there is scenes that are more mature....one time, there were two people making out in the bathroom.... I say it's mostly for girls...not trying to be all steortypic, but boys really shouldn't read this...it there is jokes about periods and stuff...But it's a really good book! I love it! And I'm in 5th grade.. Kinda violent...Unless your parent are chill about what you read, you really shouldn't read this.. But great comic!!! I am inspired by it! Quite a touching ending!!! 10/10!!!

Reflection: A Twisted Tale

Reflection: A Twisted Tale

By Elizabeth Lim

“When will my reflection show who I am inside.” I’ve always been a fan of Mulan. The movie is stunning. As a little girl I thought Mulan was amazing, but now I see her as an inspiration to all women. Reflection by Elizabeth Lim is a masterpiece. I loved the characters and plot twists so much. Speaking of… ***Characters*** Fa Mulan/Ping- Mulan (like I said) is an inspiration to all women out there. I liked how she made everyone believe that Ping is an actual person. Women make strong men! Respect for Mulan… Li Shang- Was a very mysterious character. I loved how he was bold and strong at first, but opened up to Mulan about his feelings and even his feelings for her. I like how he developed after his visit to the underworld (Diyu). ***Setting*** Diyu was a very nice and planned out setting. It really showed that Lim took the time and effort to plan it out. Every single thing is carefully planned and described for us readers, from the sky to the grass under Mulan’s feet. As an author-in-progress, Elizabeth Lim is an author that I look up to now. I am taking her work as an example for my writing! Look out for a ‘Dedicated to Elizabeth Lim’ novel! In all… I really liked this book. It is definitely a book to look out for! March 27, 2018! Oh! And did you see the gorgeous final cover? I am buying a second copy! Five stars from me! I received an ARC from Disney Hyperion; this has not influenced my opinion in any way.
