The Moorchild by Eloise Mcgraw is a captivating story of a girl, half human and half fairy-folk who is put into a family in place of their own daughter. This books tells of Saaski's journey and her adventures as she struggles to find who she is and live among the villages who taunt, tease and are scared of her beacause she is different. The only comfort Saaski finds is playing odd tunes on her bagpipes in the moor. As Saaski grows older, the past and memories of the flok start to drift back into her mind, like dandelion flyaways, and she begins to wonder about where she came from and who she really is... This is such an amazing story filled with friendship, magic, courage, mystery and enchantment. I loved reading it and definitely recommend it to others!

This book begins the epic Wingfeather Saga (my username? get it? i'm so obsessed!). The three Igiby children's lives were fairly quiet, until their dog got in a fight with one of the evil Fangs in town. Their lives are totally changed and they begin to find out the truth about themselves. This book isn't as tense as the rest of the series, but provides a wonderful introduction to the world of Aeirweir. Sadly, this book doesn't get a lot of attention, even though it's sooooooo good. Beware the toothy cows! (totally serious.)

I loved this book I would recommend this to people that like funny but almost real stories or if you like drawing Rafe is a boy living a normal life until he goes to this camp to get back in school he meets new friends and learns to work in teams and try new things and to explore life just a little deeper than you already has it gave me inspiration to make a camp for my stuffed animals to do it gives inspiration to not give and do not back up when times are tough.

She is learning new words, she loves to laugh, to draw and most of all to run. Max, is Annie’s friend. He is on the school track team. He asks Annie to go to the track team too. He takes leaves out of Annie’s hair, he pesters Annie, and sometimes he is moody. These two friends lives entangle because of running. What they both like best. Meanwhile, Annie has a mother with a “alien baby” inside her, which is a human when born(thankfully). Annie has a new baby Joey and a grandpa who is becoming forgetful..

Do you know what a nisse is? If you don’t a nisse is a Norwegian mythical creature. It’s a similar a leprechaun. That’s what this book is about. Winterfrost by Michelle Houts it is about a girl named Bettina and her baby sister Pia and the nisse. Bettina and her baby sister Pia were home alone one week because an unexpected event made their parents leave. Bettina was in charge of the house, the barn and Baby Pia. A tradition for their family is on Christmas eve they leave out a bowl of rice pudding in the barn for the tiny nisse to eat. This Christmas the family forgets to put out rice pudding and the nisse feels neglected. The antagonist is the nisse and the protagonist is Bettina and Pia. One morning Bettina wakes up and there was a winterfrost which was very rare in Denmark. Bettina decides to put Pia in her crib to take a nap. As Pia was sleeping Bettina got tired too and slowly fell asleep. When Bettina wakes up she went to check on her and Pia was gone! Bettina got very worried so she went looking for her around the house and she wasn't there. She decides to look outside to see if she was there. As she walked out she saw something red moving super fast. She kept walking and she saw it again and again until she decided to follow it. It led her to a very very small house underneath a tree stump. She opened the door and she saw house full of nisse. I recommend this book to 10-13 year olds because Bettina is around that age.

What's creepy, mysterious, and that you can really relate too? It's The Time of the Fireflies by Kimberly Griffiths Little.

It is a doll. An heirloom, really. With secrets from the past. Larissa receives a message on an old phone that's not supposed to work. It says: Follow the Fireflies. Trust the fireflies. Larissa finds the fireflies and goes back in time to when her great, great grandmother was a little girl and realizes that the doll was there since then. And everything bad that happened to the people in Larissa's family, the doll had seen it. When she gets back, her mother has news that she is going to have a baby girl. But the next day, her mom and the doll are gone. Her mother must have taken her doll with her. If everything Larissa knows about the doll is true, then her mother is in danger. Grave danger. Through suspense, and magic a secretive and mysterious book is unleashed: The Time of the Fireflies.
