"Climbing into bed on the night before my very own most important birthday, after an evening of Miss Rosemary's meat loaf and interference, I did not pray for a powerful savvy like Rocket's or X-Ray vision or the ability to run super-fast or to breathe underwater. I had just two simple wishes - the first one was for Father to be alright and the second wish, the second wish was that no one - no one - would come to my birthday party." Mibs Beaumont is no ordinary teenager. From her brother Rocket who can control electricity to her brother Fish who can control water telepathically, each member of her family has a special power - a savvy. Mibs had always wished for a powerful savvy, like Fish's savvy and Rocket's savvy. But disaster struck when her father was injured severely in a car crash, and there's no way to tell if he's going to live or not. All Mibs wishes for on her thirteenth birthday (the number 13 is important in this story because it's always when a member of the Beaumont family gets their savvy) is to have a savvy that can wake her Papa up. But when the interfering and meddlesome priest's wife, Ms. Rosemary, plans a birthday party for Mibs in the church (with almost every teenager and child in the town attending), Mibs believes that her savvy is waking up people and animals because she thought she woke up her little brother Samson's turtle and her baby sister in the morning. But more importantly, maybe her savvy is saving Papa! Mibs climbs onto a tour bus delivering pink Bibles, with Fish, Samson, and the priest's kids, Will and Bobbi in tow. The tour bus is driven by Lester Swan, who has a weak heart and can't say no when the kids tell him that Mibs is going to see her father in a hospital in Kansas. But as she hears tattoos on Bobbi and Lester begin to move and talk, Mibs learns that her savvy is just making ink-based marks on skin speak and move. Now they're in serious trouble - her savvy isn't going to wake up Papa after all! As they travel on towards the hospital, Lester picks up Lill Kiteley, a kind, fun woman who's car was broken down and she couldn't get to her job in a restaurant, so Lester offers to drive her there. On the long way to the restaurant and hospital (getting delayed, huh..) the children and the adults warm to each other and they become a sort of a family. But do some of the characters have secrets? Will's hiding something from Mibs, what is it? Is Bobbi such a tough, harsh girl on the inside? Do Will and Mibs have "feelings" for each other? And what happens when the police catches up and thinks Lill and Lester kidnapped the children? How will they ever get to the hospital now? And if they get there, will Mibs' papa ever wake up? Hmm.. I don't know quite what to say about this particular book. It made tears well up and drop on the pages, because it was so sad. In some bits, it made me laugh jubilantly because it seemed like they finally got their happy ending. This book was full of many twists and turns and it surprised me so many times! I love that Mibs is a strong, independent, witty, reckless, and overall amazing character. These are characters you'd see once in a lifetime in books - they are so defined, they have their own personalities, they seem so "alive" and three-demensional.. I love the relationships between the different characters too... most of the characters are great role models, since they are kind, charismatic, and plain funny sometimes! :giggles: But most of all, it made me cry - it wasn't particularly a sad book, but it made me really sad because I could relate, and I knew all the problems Mibs was going through. It seemed so realistic that I wanted to reach out and comfort her. In the end, the lesson was that EVERYONE is special in your own way - you all have savvies. It doesn't have to cause earthquakes, control electricity, or make you fly. It just shows who you are and you should be proud of that. It is a charming book about uniqueness, faith, and growing up. Read! It just might change the way you look at the world :)

This series is absolutely incredible - the characters, the plot, the lore. I just love Sanderson's works and the worlds he so intricately forges on paper. 100% recommend!!

This is for sure one of the best books in the series! It follows Moonwatcher a Nightwing with mind reading abilities who is attending Jade Mountain Academy a school started by The Dragonets of Destiny. This book is wonderful for fantasy lovers! Moonwatcher has to hide her abilities in fear of other dragons not liking her, and that makes her shy, but at her new school there all so many potential friends in her winglet! Maybe some more than friends ;) But while she has her new friends and she is shy she is also hearing a voice... A mysterious voice she must find out who it is, but she also gathers information that Queen Scarlet is still alive and is coming back, she has to save the day! At all costs. I recommend this book for ages 10 and up for violence, other than that it is a wonderful stay up all night book!!! Happy Reading!

I decide to read this book because it just pulls you in and is great book for all ages. this book is a great bedtime story and is great for children. I totally recommend this book to everybody. I also hope they like it as much as me. I hope u get a chance to read it. it is my all time favorite kids book.

This is the first book of this serie, and I like it the most because it's most original, and that's when everything happened, the truth is revealed. So, this is about a boy named Percy Jackson. All his life is boring, he lives with his mom, and mean step father that always beat up his mom and him. He was told that his dad left him since he's only a baby. he has difficulties reading english, because the words always change into different patterns he always thought that he has ADHD. Until one day, when he went on a field trip to a museum. A teacher asked Percy for a private talk and transformed into a monster and tried to kill him, because she thought that he's the lightning thief (the person who stole the lightning bolt from Zues). And then he found out that he's actually a half blood, half god (Poseidon), half human, and his best friend Grover is a half goat to protect Percy. After what happened in the museum, Percy is no longer safe, so he went to the half blood camp thing so that it will protect him. And later on this story, he will find the real lightning thief, return the bolt back to Zeus which saved the peace of Earth know as the human world. I really love this book, because it's very intense, and its about Greek mythology which I'm pretty interested in, love the movie too! Enjoy.

"The only way out is through a fairy-tale.." By opposites' attraction, Sophie and Agatha of Gavaldon are best friends.. Sophie is beautiful, but only on the outside - she only performs her Good Deeds because her greatest dream is to be kidnapped by the School Master and accepted to the School of Good. Everyone in the village calls Agatha a witch because of her not-so-beautiful appearance on the outside, but inside, she has a heart of gold and she's just lonely for true friendship. When the School Master kidnaps both Agatha and Sophie (to Sophie's delight and to Agatha's horror) but to both of the girls' horror, he places them (supposedly) in the wrong school! While Sophie (School of Evil) and Agatha (School of Good) are struggling in their new schools, feeling their destiny has been horribly switched, Sophie falls for a prince in Good, Tedros, King Arthur's son, while Agatha just wants her friend and her home back. Desperate to get back home, Sophie and Agatha pay a visit to the School Master and the magic, story-writing pen, the Storian.. only to be presented with a riddle ("What's the one thing Evil can never have.. and the one thing Good can never do without?") and a very unsatisfying answer to their pleas ("The only way out is through a fairytale.") It seems that the only way to get out of this "dungeon" is through their fairytales.. Agatha as a princess and Sophie as an evil witch. But unexpectedly, both start excelling at their studies - is it possible that there hadn't been a mix-up after all? If they were exactly in the school they were supposed to be? With the upcoming Circus of Talents where Good boys ask Good girls to be their date for the Snow Ball, Sophie is anxious to be Tedros' date and to receive her true love's kiss.. but Tedros asks the now beautiful and kind Agatha instead to be his date.. In blind rage, Sophie is set on destroying the school that is ultimately destroying her life, and Tedros declares war on Evil. Suddenly.. it seems that Sophie will never become Agatha's friend again, and that they'll never get home to their beloved Gavaldon, ever again. What will happen to the two beloved friends? Read this compelling, magical, absolutely spellbinding book to find out! I loved this book! It is hands down, probably the best fairy-tale twist book I have EVER read! It was extremely captivating, and hooked me on the first page - I just felt a rush as I read it, and I honestly couldn't turn the pages fast enough! This book defies what other books have said - you don't have to be beautiful on the outside to have a solid gold heart on the inside! I've read books about perfect friendships.. but in my mind, those aren't friendships at all. You have to have bumps in the road (very MAJOR bumps for Sophie and Agatha) and it's the strength that takes to rebond, over and over again, to look over each other's faults, to still remain true to each other even when things are rough or when you'll different, and most of all (SPOILERS) to sacrifice yourself for each other. Discover a tearjerking story full of undying, true love, differences, magic, the power to overcome challenges, being yourself, and most of all, it tells you just how important and beautiful true friendship can be! I can't wait to get the second and third books!

This book is about a girl named Ellie. Her parents are divorced, but still are good friends. Her mother and grandfather however don't get along that well. He sometimes tells her that she could have made a better choices. However he is also a scientist, and has discovered the secret of T. melvinus (Turritopsis melvinus). It can have the power to reverse age a person. Ellie's grandfather decides to test it on himself. It worked! However, he is forced to stay with Ellie and her mom. He takes the name Melvin, and is forced to go to school with Ellie. They meet a new friend, Raj. The book includes there adventures and also a mini-heist. I enjoyed this book, and found it inspirational. I also love science. It had good messages at the end too! The story sort of teaches you at the end to look at reverse aging a different way. The good and bad of innovations. The book can also be read by younger kids too. It is a great all-ages book.

Sky raiders...what an amazing book! It gives you a whole new view on alternate world books, and I loved the book. It was filled with action, oppression, adventure, wonder, and so many other things. It is about a boy named Cole. When he is at a haunted basement with his friends, people come in and kidnapped them. Cole escaped, but his friend dont. He accidentally stumbles into a portal were people are fell into and he decides to spy on the people who put his friends in cages and took them away. He is caught and sold into slavery...to an interesting group of people. Thats all I am going to say! I hope you read the book. 5/5 rating from me!
