"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.

"Finally" Book Review

"Finally" is the newest book by Wendy Mass, as a novel this book adds wonder to the already wonderfully mysterious Angelina D'Angelo. This charming story captures the idea of how it feels to help others, and find that what you want is not often what you need. This story is about how Rory, a big wisher found that she never really needed any of the wishes to make her dream come true. Here is a review on this captivating tale: Rory was really big on wishing; she wished on anything and everything. Stray eyelashes, shooting stars, coins in fountains, birthday candles (hers and other peoples), dandelion tops, even when her glasses fogged up. Usually the wishes would vary from a pony to a best friend, a new bike, or a baby brother. When she turned 12 everything was supposed to be great, she would get everything she ever wished for, well maybe not the pony though, 
but if everything had gone well then Rory would not be stuck in a drainpipe, yes a drainpipe.
I would give this book 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐✰
