This story is about 12 year old Rump-who was only given half his name before his mother died. In his town your name is your destiny - and his name is a joke. Orphaned young Rump lives with his elderly grandmother and must work in mines to find gold like everyone else. Then Rump discovers that he has inherited his mother's ability to spin straw into gold - something that his grandmother hid from him. Rump experiments with his magic, but soon find that a price comes with it. Soon Rump is forced to go on a journey and find his name and try to fix the mistakes his magic has caused. This book is a twist on the fairy-tale Rumpelstiltskin. I found it very entertaining, and there were plot twists at every corner-even though I was familiar with the classic tale and knew the general outcome of the story. The author was very creative in how she stayed true to elements of the original, but also put her own spin on the story. I recommend this book to anyone who loves fairy-tales and even those who don't. This book is great for middle grade aged kids who love adventures and fantasy, although I believe older people will also enjoy it. Overall, I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars

I recommend this book to people who are interested in reading short stories, or are interested in Disney princesses. I rate this book 5/5.

This was SUCH a good book! You know the story of Goldilocks. But this one is different! These dinosaurs, mama dinosaur, papa dinosaur, and some other dinosaur visiting from Norway, set up a trap for a girl to eat. So here comes Goldilocks falling into the trap! Except it doesn’t go the way the Dino’s want it to! I was cracking up while reading this, and so will you. I give it five stars.

The Zodiac Legacy: Convergence is, in one word, EPIC. Steven Lee is a remotely average kid living in America with family roots in China. He takes a class field trip to China, and while they're visiting a museum, he hears someone screaming distantly. Also, the group's tour guide is acting a bit... off. His instinct is to follow the sound, so he quietly sneaks off. Steven also notices the suspicious tour guide quickly walking away, almost as if she could hear the sound too, and Steven follows her. The noise grows the strongest at a blocked off basement door, and that's where the tour guide wrenches open the door and hurries down some steps. Steven timidly follows her. When he arrives at the end of the steps, he finds himself in a ginormous chamber-like room under the museum. But that's the last thing on his mind as he watches, spell-bound, at the streaks of power radiating from a strange man screaming that same awful scream. Steven quickly hides, but the strange people find him eventually. Turns out, the power coming from that man was one of the ancient Chinese Zodiac animal's powers. The tour guide (her name, as she tells Steven, is Jasmine) morphs into a dragon and the fights the man, who wants all the power for himself. Steven accidentally gets onto one of the power pedestals, and he suddenly has power radiating from him too, but he is a Tiger, Steven soon finds out that the strange power has been spread across the earth, and different people will suddenly get power alike to his. Jasmine and Steven take off on a trip across the globe hunting down the other people the Zodiac power affected so they can convince them to come onto their side, the good side, and not go with the bad man to the bad side, This man only wants to take their power for himself so he can rule the world. Can they do it? This book is full of adventure, action, and comedy. I loved Disney's Zodiac Legacy: The Convergence and I love how the story shaped and continued. The characters were also phenomenal! I could feel their rage, happiness, and pain as I read this incredible book. I recommend it for kids 10+ because it can get a bit violent sometimes. READ IT, THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC!

Betty and Veronica shine in yet another graphic novel! This time, they're poofed into a series of fairy tales, with regular Riverdale characters as the fairy talers.

Cheryl Blossom fits in as the mirror and of course, Archie is the perfect man to be the prince! Packed with fun, Betty & Veronica: Fairy Tales is an awesome read for any classic lover.

Vane Weston is lucky to be alive. He survived a category 5 tornado that was his parents’ fate, and was named in the local newspaper as “Miracle Boy”. Ten years after the storm he is still dreaming about a girl that he feels had something to do with the storm and his survival even though he doesn’t remember anything from his past. He wants to find her really badly; she could tell Vane about his past, and she is hot. One night while he is on a date with someone, he sees “dream girl” and knows she is real. But that is not it; the next night she comes into his bedroom while he is sleeping and wakes him up. Still dazed by the fact that his dream girl is in his room, she tells him something beyond crazy; he is a Sylph, just like her. An air elemental. He can speak to the winds and control them. But all of the Sylphs are in trouble; Raiden and his Stormers are coming and he is their only hope to defeat them. In an epic love story and battle, Messenger earns fans who will stay with her until the very end of this enthralling trilogy. My thoughts: Let The Sky Fall was an epic book. This is the first love story I have read, and it was amazing. Lets just say that the cover and the blurb knocked the wind out of me (wind pun:-) and so did the author with Keeper Of The Lost Cities that I just had to read it. Shannon Messenger is so awesome; her writing blows me away (hahaha, another wind pun)and she stuns me with each of her works. The emotions and feelings the characters have for each other in this book are very strong, with love and sadness and so many other strong feelings and I think that is part of the book that makes it so good. This is the first time I have heard of Sylphs, and I think they are really cool! They basically control the wind, and that is the Gale Force’s job. Audra is a guardian, only few elite people in the Gales are, and she protects Vane all the time. There are also so many problems that Vane and Audra have to face; Vane is already betrothed to a princess, Audra knows it is wrong to love Vane because her job is to only protect him but she still loves him, Audra needs to train Vane before the Stormers arrive, Audra has a memory that is a burden on her back and does not want Vane to see, and Vane needs to have all four breakthroughs to be strong enough to fight Raiden. So, lots of problems; but will they be solved? read Let The Sky Fall and find out!
