It's the future. Kat Falls’ second book, Rip Tide, takes place in a world where sea levels have risen and half of the world’s population have been driven out of their homes. So now, most people live underwater. Selling kelp and diving for sunken treasure, Ty’s family has it pretty good. Until one day, while making a trade with the captain of Drift, one of the largest townships in the ocean, Ty’s parents get kidnapped. With his close friend Gemma, a girl who ran away from her home on the surface, Ty tries to track down Shade, Gemma’s brother, and ask for his help. But Ty soon learns that this is not the only problem. Someone is anchoring townships, causing the hundreds of people inside to either suffocate or freeze to death. Searching the vast corners of the ocean, and encountering new allies and enemies, they soon find out that the REAL enemy is the one you never expect. I enjoyed both Dark Life and Rip Tide, both give a fun and adventurous look at the ocean, and also a sort of precautionary warning about what COULD happen if sea levels get too high. But read Dark Life first, because you'll be really confused about what's going on if you don’t This book is jam-packed full of twists and turns, and definitely a must-read.

One day, Pico the gnome goes for an evening stroll to collect firewood and ingredients for a stew, and falls asleep in the forest. He dreams of a fairy who tells him he will soon have to be brave. Sure enough, as dawn breaks, a giant thunders through the land, frightening all the animals and birds -- but Pico uses quick thinking and kind words to bring about a happy ending. Generations of children have enjoyed Martina Müller's classic picture book, illustrated in a handcrafted artistic style full of life and color, and the tale -- which captures the value of bridging differences -- remains as relevant today. This beautiful gift edition is perfect for young hands.

I love when my mom reads the stories to us before bed.

Rebbeca couldn't feel more out of place in New Orleans,where she comes to spend the year while her dad is traveling. She's staying in a creepy old house with her Aunt Claudia,who reads Tarot cards for a living. And at a fancy prep school,a pack of filthy rich girls treat her like she is invisible! I love Ghost stories and this is one!! I totally think you should read if you like Ghost books!

I rate this book as fair since I appreciate that the author, Wendy Lichtman, made the protagonist, Tess, teach readers a lesson after Tess learns a lesson. “After I paid for a bag of chips, I waited for Lucia to get some candy. ‘Want one?’ she asked, pointing to the tamarind. ‘No thanks,’ I said, shaking my head. I didn’t think for one second that Lucia was going to slip the candy into her pocket without paying...But she did slip it into her pocket...Some people who run stores are mean to kids my age, but the man who owns that one isn’t. He’s friendly and nice, and it bothered me that Lucia would steal anything from him. He’ll have to pay for that candy himself…” Later in the book, Lucia steals more candy from the same store, so Tess confronts her and asks her why she does it. After that, Tess does not hang out with Lucia as much anymore. This teaches readers that stealing is not right and that they should not surround themselves with those types of people. I do not appreciate Wendy Lichtman teaches this next lesson, which is also through Tess. This happens when Tess discovers math patterns of graffiti on the wall by her school and she responds to them in number codes, which is illegal. Her conversations with this mysterious person are about who started the fire in her computer teacher’s classroom. Even though Tess is trying to help discover who is behind this arson case, she additionally brings her best friends into this situation, which could make them suspended from school. Although Tess is not trying to do anything harmful on purpose, because she is caught, she becomes suspended for four days, influencing readers by telling them that it is alright to do illegal actions and just deal with the consequences. When Tess’s mom asks her if anybody else is involved with writing graffiti, Tess lies and responds no. This teaches readers that it is more important to lie to protect friends instead of telling the truth and learning what is right, which reminds me of morals versus values.
