Kids Books - Folk

I loved this book because it shows passion and empathy. I can't stop laughing at the cards that Lizzie's mother gave Lizzie. I mean like her mother calls people worms and says you should not listen to worms. Now that is confusing and funny. I do also feel sad that the people who live in wonderland can't be with their children because the portal to Wonderland got shut down. i do have a question too. If the children could go to Ever After High, then how come the parents can't come with them. How come Maddie and the daughter of Chester, can talk to the Narrator, but the others can't. Now that isn't fair!

this book is about how a gardener that once was a soldier for his country he just came back to his country and he asked the king to get a job as a gardener like any other soldier coming back that was looking for a job this book is in my scools library witch is kind of awesome but i already read this book you go and a head and read it and see the rest of the story plz follow me. thx :)

Fablehaven Book of Imagination by Brandon Mull is an activity book that could can do by yourself, or there are activities to do with friends. Activities in this book include pictures to color, riddles, recipes, mazes, origami, crafts, and drawing tutorials. There are also photos of Brandon Mull, some of when he was a kid, and some of when he was doing research for his books. One feature of this book is you get to invent your own preserve for magical creatures. You can draw a map, make up code names for you and your friends, and combine your own potions. One fun thing I especially liked is that there are codes throughout the book that you need the Fablehaven series to solve. Each code has four numbers; the book number, the book page, the line, and the word. When you solve all the codes you put them in order and you get a secret about Brandon Mulls new series Dragonwatch! I also love the quote pages by famous people and characters from the Fablehaven series. There are so many different aspects of this book, that I couldn't cover them all. But I really enjoyed working on these activities. I recommend this activity book to fans of all ages of Fablehaven. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Scared of spiders and strangers, griffins and ghosts. But it turns out that she is braver then she thinks. Meryl however, is daring and bold, funny and outgoing.

Here’s my review of The Colossus Rises. Enjoy! Jack McKinley is 13 years old. It is just a normal school day when he finds a weird V-shape on the back of his head, and gets hit by a car. Jack finds himself at a “hospital”, which he soon finds out is an Institute. Not just any institute, but the Karai Institute, on an island unplotted on maps, lead by Professor Bhegad. Jack meets three other kids that have the same “lamda” (if you are Greek, (like me!) you will know that it is basically a Greek L) on the back of their heads. Bhegad explains that it is a rare genetic marker: that they all have G7W and will die without treatments. They are on a mission: to find all of the lost Loculi and return them so Atlantis can regain its power. But it will prove challenging since there are seven of them; hidden in the seven ancient wonders of the world. In a thrilling start to what promises to be an epic series, Lerangis pens a tale full of action, loss, mythical creatures and ancient secrets that is sure to make readers anxious for a sequel. What I thought about it: The Colossus Rises was a very entertaining read. The first 30 pages were a little slow, but the pages that followed totally made up for it. I have read Peter Lerangis’ 39 Clues contributions, and they were pretty enjoyable. This book appealed to me: the cover, the author, the Seven Wonders. I think Lerangis’ idea is spectacular; with there being seven loculi in the seven wonders of the world. That means almost half of the books will be in Greece!!! I loved the rich description as they walk down the streets of Rhodes, and I just felt like I was in Greece. Also, the suspense was epic. Is he dead? Or not dead? Like, you are stuck trying to see if Lerangis has tricked you again, or not. The cover was pretty intense-it had me captivated, and was one of the main reasons for picking up the book. So overall, amazing book.
