This book is the 2nd in a series. It's about a group of heroes whom you might recognize as characters from some fairy tales. My favorite is Prince Liam, who is not afraid of much, except his horrible fiancee, Sleeping Beauty. In this book, the heroes have to get a magical sword from a 10-year-old villain: the Bandit King. It has the power to give its bearer control over the minds of everyone they see. Obviously he would use it to make the heroes go rogue... which would be bad. There are many funny and adventurous parts of the book, I can't pick a favorite. I would give this book 6 stars- the best! I can't wait to read the next one.

Here’s my review for the ARC I received of New Lands. Thank you Penguin for providing me the ARC! Enjoy! After Egg’s standdown to Pembroke, he is going away. He knows Pembroke will try to find him and get the map from him, so he travels with Guts to Pella Nonna in the New Lands. In just three weeks, Guts has become a famous guitar player whom everyone knows, but that is proving to be a distraction to finding the treasure before Pembroke does. But then something happens after meeting an Okalu girl that leads to a major turn of events; and they get kidnapped. In a fast-paced, adventurous sequel, will Pembroke make Egg give up the map, or will Egg resist? Will the impossible happen, where Egg finds his family? Rodkey pens a delightful read with thrilling action, and does not let readers down. What I thought about it: Geoff Rodkey amazes me once again. Once again, the action is unstoppable in this sequel, and the description is very vivid, painting a bright picture in your head. The cover art for this sequel in my opinion is amazing, and I think it is better than the first book. New Lands is pretty much a wild goose chase, with Egg, Millicent, Guts and Kira being chased by all of Pembroke’s men and the Moku tribe. I can not stress enough how much I love Geoff Rodkey’s writing, it is just…WOW! I mean, I don’t have any other words to describe it, really. I also loved the twists and turns in the plot, and they just catch you off guard. Geoff Rodkey; KEEP WRITING!

West by Edith Pattou is the second book that comes after the amazing East book. I really enjoyed both of these books and this one especially was just so untterly incredible! I loved the adventure, the courage that the main character, Rose, showed, the excitement, the love and the beauty of the whole story all together. I would totally recommend it to anyone who loves amazing stories about journies into the unknown!

Will they be able to escape the museum, or will they stay locked up there for the rest of the night.

There is a boy that is playing on the beach- and stops when he sees something- a pirate ship. He tries to inform his parents, but they do not listen. The boy goes back to working on the sandcastle and the pirates look at him. They take him because they think he is a good digger, and he learns how to be a pirate.

Mary Alice and Joe thought they where going to have a normal summer with their perfectly normal grandmother. Wrong. So wrong. There grandma might as well be the craziest grandma anyone could ever have. And the kindest. And the funniest. And the trickiest. Although Mary Alice and Joe are a long way from Chicago everything is going to be okay as they learn important lessons and make friends. My brothers and I laughed so much when we read this book for school. It is really funny.

So I rated this book 3.5 stars. Don't get me wrong, this is a REALLY good book but I USED to be in LOVE with fantasy novels. Now I'm kind of a little older and I've been reading less Middle Reader Fantasy (this is the first fantasy novel that I've read in like, a year), and more Young Adult novels. I read this book like a month ago, but I decided not to read the whole series (which I have never done before, I always finish a book series) because I'm kind of growing out of the Fantasy genre. I kind of got bored with the characters, only because the somewhat stereotypical "three abandoned orphans" plot is overused a lot. I really liked how Gabriel and the Empress were described. The Empress was really ruthless, and it definitely showed throughout the book. Gabriel wasn't your typical strong hero that comes out of nowhere, his personality and emotions were really raw a well-plotted. This book kind of reminded me of the Narnia series because it was so full of adventure and magic. The pacing of the book was absolutely on point, which I loved. Anyway, I thought this book was a little bit over average, I know that people younger than me would enjoy it. There's a lot of really awesome elements like dwarves, a mysterious book, giants, and other mythical creatures. I would recommend this to the 9-11 year old range.

Jack and Annie decided to come back the morning to see if it was still there (the tree house) they stared up at the tree house and said "it looks empty" they went up in the tree house and all of the books where still there but while they where going up they heard a voice could it be " M*?they where looking threw the like trying to figure out what play they wanted to go to today.they picked the mummie times! They went there and Annie didn't listen to Jack when he said that they have to wait in the tree house to see if it's ok to go down.but they still went down and they went into the place and there was a tomb raider, scary mummies.but all at the end they home to there mom making pb and j sandwiches.I recommend this to 8 to 12 year old I rate this 4/5 😍

Really below my level, but good! So in this book franny get's a dog asistintant just so you know. Anyway, Franny get's really anoyed cause she does not want that and all she wants to do is be cray and have no asistant. But that's not all. A giant 50 foot arrow shooting cupid starts causing a lot of trouble around Franny's town. Can Franny fix this before it's to late? Read this book to find out!

This book was such a cool and twisty conclusion to The Testing! Although the first book is still my favorite, this one was a close second. I enjoyed how Cia teamed up with friends, but unfortunate that she couldn't trust everyone she thought she could. At the ending I still didn't understand who was good or bad, it switched around so much! Anyways, I hope many other readers appreciate this book too!!
