Sparrow Rising (Skyborn #1)
By Khoury, Jessica
I will be recommending this middle grade fantasy book to everyone and can't wait for book two! The world building is some of the best I've ever encountered; the author created a fantasy world that never pulled me out or stopped me from believing that these human-like characters born with wings weren't real. And speaking of characters, these all popped off the pages and I soared with them, following their adventures and flights into danger. Each character is unique, well-fleshed out with flaws and motivations and pasts. I felt the pacing was perfect and I never wanted to stop reading. Every action and word and thought propelled the story forward and I never felt the plot dragging. Overall, this is an amazing middle grade fantasy with the perfect amount of suspense and danger. The friendships felt like found family and I can't wait to fly with Ellie, Nox, Twig, and Gussie again.
Unbirthday: A Twisted Tale
By Liz Braswell
Everyone has been RAVING about this series, and I figured: I love fairy tales, I love Disney and I love Alice in Wonderland, so why not? I wasn't as enchanted with this book as I had hoped. It was a really cool re-telling/addition to Alice in Wonderland's lore, but it just didn't hit all the right chords with me. Let me explain: 1. This book is 500 pages long. It is WAY longer than it needed to be and droned on at times. That made this book super slow, and I am a fast paced kind of reader. 2. The Queen's executions and property stealing seemed random yet planned. I don't know why, but that part of the story kind of threw me off. It was weird. And we didn't even get to see too much of her... 3. The plot didn't grab my attention, if I'm being honest. What I did enjoy: 1. Katz was a cool character. Alice having a love interest was new and very intriguing! I have to admit, I kind of liked it? Especially since this book didn't go full romance either. Just cute plot suggestions to add to her story. 2. Alice is a strong female lead with likes and dislikes and hobbies. I like that. 3. The story telling and writing style of Liz Braswell is wonderful. That definitely helped this story a lot. Overall, this book makes me want to read the rest of the series, especially based on the reviews of other readers. Disney fans will enjoy it for sure! Three out of five stars.
The Beatrice Letters (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
By Lemony Snicket
If you've been following Lemony Snicket's A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, then you've undoubtedly read of Beatrice Baudelaire. Who she is, exactly, is a mystery. And although this book is entitled THE BEATRICE LETTERS, don't think that you'll finally learn who Beatrice is. You won't. In fact, there's not a whole lot you'll learn about anything or anyone having to do with the series. Don't get me wrong. THE BEATRICE LETTERS is fun. It's gorgeously packaged. It comes with a poster, a dossier of sorts that contains letters to Beatrice and letters from Beatrice. It has ingenious pop-out letters that you can use to attempt to decode a number of anagrams. It has business cards. It has pictures of a metal tool and a paperweight. It has, in fact, all manner of beautifully put together items that tell you nothing. For the ultimate A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS fan, this is a book you must include in your collection. For the bored fan, this is a book that will provide you with hours of hair-pulling frustration as you attempt to decipher clues that seem to have no answer. For the mid-line fan, this is a book that just looks pretty. For cleverness, ingenuity, and presentation, THE BEATRICE LETTERS gets 5 Stars. For content, or at least helpful content, the book gets 3 Stars. Overall, a 4 Star read, but one I would recommend most strongly to the biggest Baudelaire devotee.
The Worst Witch at School
By Jill Murphy
Murphy's law reigns supreme in the life of student witch, Mildred Hubble--anything that can go wrong does. She still manages to save the day on multiple occasions. A light, fun read for children 8-11. I like children's books and this was fun, but very young and light. It was cute and children this age will enjoy it. It's not an ambitious book like Harry Potter. This one, by the way, came first and is quite similar in some ways, it's a boarding school with classes in potions etc. and a big spooky castle. The difference is, there is no abiding force of evil against which to struggle. This may be appropriate for very young children, but makes the book seem a bit fluffy in comparison. The evil that does read its head is minor and brief. I love children's literature. This book is good, but not great. And isn’t that what we want with children’s books, for them to leave a positive lasting impression?

Stink and the Incredible Super-Galactic Jawbreaker (Stink (Pb))
By Megan McDonald
I have enjoyed reading the Stink books so far. I've been reading them, and I have loved them so much. The relationship between Stink and his sister Judy is a love/hate relationship, and it cracks me up. At times they help each other. At times they work together. At times they play pranks on each other. At times, they are sick of each other. At times they try to get each other in trouble. It reminds me very much of my own relationship with my sister. After each chapter, there is a comic that has been written by Stink. These comics are silly, but I love them. They make me read the comic part three or four times. This is a great read aloud book/series for young boys, I would guess any elementary school aged, although my three year old enjoys this as a bedtime story. What is cool about this book is that even though it is for kids, I still enjoyed reading it. It is well written, has great characters, has funny scenes, and really captures the essence of being a kid. This is a first-purchase for elementary libraries.

This is book is so awesome! It caught my eye in the library because I love the Judy Moody books. I think that Stink is as funny as Judy. I like this book. It is simply hilarious! I was laughing at every page turner. I won't spoil it with any specifics, but if you like comics or a kid who writes comics then I think you will love, Love, LOve, LOVe, LOVE this book!
