"Wings of Fire Book 12, The Hive Queen" Book Review

"Wings of Fire" is a great series, not to mention a great book. This amazing manuscript was written by Tui T. Sutherland. I really enjoyed reading it, I just couldn't put it down! Again, this was a great book, the characters are so loveable and sweet. There was so much adventure and the adrenaline was awesome. The main character Cricket (on the cover) learns so much as she grows and finds out things about herself she never imagined would ever be true. She also learns that some secrets are best kept secret. Here is a short review of this wonderful tale: Cricket never thought she would be hiding in a dark gloomy cave; well at least she wasn't alone more or less, Blue was with her, well sort of, he was in a glowing fiery cocoon. Oh, where is Sundew, Luna, and Swordtail, they should be back by now. After they were being chased away and hunted by the royal guards, they all got separated. Suddenly there was a sound at the back of the cave. As Cricket, a young dragonet, embarks on a once again dangerous journey with all her friends at her side except Luna who has mysteriously disappeared. She will find out secrets(dirty secrets) about the queen, and even herself. I give this book
5 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The 47 People You'll meet in Middle School" by Kristin Mahoney Book Review

"The 47 People You'll meet in Middle School" is a glamorous novel containing the terror and drama of middle school life. Especially when your home doesn't feel like a home, and you need to know that there is someone who can comfort you. This astonishing story was written by Kristin Mahoney who beautifully makes middle school life into a book. Here is a short summary of this intriguing tale: Augusta never imagined she would be starting middle school without her best friend. Well she would know at least someone right? As she rounded the corner no one was familiar all the kids looked older like 8th grade older. The roaring voice of a man came at her "You! Glasses! Blue backpack! Sixth Grade?","Back Door" As she crossed to the other side of the yard she saw some familiar faces, "Hey Gus!" yelled Nick. As her adventure starts little did she know all the people she would meet including the kid who talks to his lunch box, Syd the tomato kid, the crusher, the Gooser, and many many more, this year is going to be fun! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Sisters" by Riana Telgemeier, Book Review

"Sisters" was a classic tale of road-trip 'fun' so to speak, in this true story Raina Telgemeier (main character) shows that even though family life may be "rocky" sometimes, a sister's friendship can always bring a family back home. Even when everything is falling apart a family can always find comfort in their friendship. This wonderful tale's author is Raina Telgemeier, who weaves her experiences into this compassionate novel. This is a short summary of this book: Raina and her family all except her father, which has had some "issues" between him and their mother. As they set off for their "grand adventure", Raina is not to keen on going especially considering "the incident". They set sail for the family reunion anyway, keeping in mind that this is going to be one long trip. They get into very many situations including a very hungry snake and a dead engine.

"Horse Camp" by Nichole Helget & Nate Leboutiller, Book Review

"Horse Camp" is a hilarious classic on ranch life gone wrong. As Percy and Penny share their points of view on the 'situation' the suspense continues. Here is a review of this enticing book; Penny, Percy, and Pauly have had the wort few months in their lives and it's about to get worse. They have gone from a normal happy life, well as happy as you can be if you move every few months, to a "horse camp" which is by the way a smelly dirty farm with a few animals and only two horses, one is really old and the other horse bites anyone who gets close. Their father abandoned them and their mother is in jail, so they have been sent to their uncle Stretch and his 'horse camp. In the confusion and drama there comes a big surprise.

"Dragonborn" by Toby Forward Book Review

"Dragonborn" is a curious tale of wizards, dragons, and betrayal. Forward weaves a fascinating story as humans and dragons unite to save one boy who may just be able to help. In this riveting book, boy and beast become one; Dragonborn. Here is a review of this exciting book: Sam is left alone when his master, the great wizard Flaxfield dies. He had leaned much wisdom and many spells, but he also remembered the most important piece of advice the wizard had taught him; "Only use magic when there is no other way." Sam is no ordinary apprentice, he is something that has not been among his kind in centuries, but he does not know that he is. With his dragon partner Starback, he begins his quest to find a new master to finish teaching him the ways of magic. What he doesn't know is that there are people who a hungry for power, his power; and will stop at nothing to have it.
I would give this book 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The Unwanteds" by Lisa Mcmann Book 3 Review


"The Unwanteds, Island of Fire" is an extraordinary story about loyalty and creativity. This magical tale was written by Lisa McMann which by the way has magic all on her own. I highly recommend this exciting book to anyone and everyone interested in fiction. In this outstanding novel, Alex and his friends have been and are going to two islands; Warbler island, and a volcano pirate island that keeps disappearing seemingly on its own. And they learn that there are some things that can come back to haunt you. Here is a review of this exquisite adventure: Alex has just brought the land of Artime back from the dead, and is discovering all his miraculous magic as the mage of the land; when he is faced with yet another death threating journey, to find and rescue Lani and Samheed. It will be a very difficult adventure, but Alex, Megan, Sky, and all the others are ready for their task, or so they hope. If they succeed they may just find out that Samheed and Lani now have a close relationship, to Alex's heartbreaking dismay. As their boat begins to turn Sky and her brother Crow discover something they never thought was possible. 

I would give this book 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
