Mulan: Before the Sword

Mulan: Before the Sword

By Grace Lin

Right now I am reading this book, and wow! This is set back to before Mulan, you know, pulled the sword. Mulan's little sister is in danger and Mulan and this immortal bunny rabbit must travel together to stop the evil-doer who caused Mulan's little sister harm and who has evil intentions towards the immortal bunny rabbit and the world. I do not know if I convinced everyone with my pathetic summary but as a good adventure book critic, I say that this is a definite must read for everyone who has seen the movie.

A Tale of Two Castles

A Tale of Two Castles

By Gail Carson Levine

After getting shunned from the mansioning apprentice master, Elodie has nowhere else to go. Without money, shelter, or any friends, she finds help from the dragon, called Meenore. Elodie uses her deductive thinking to solve a mystery in Two Castles. I would recommend this for ages 10+ I usually like mysteries so I thought that this one was also quite good. The pace was okay but in the end the plot had such a surprising twist!!! I still like Ella Enchanted better though.

The Return to the Kingdom of Fantasy (The Quest for Paradise)

The Return to the Kingdom of Fantasy (The Quest for Paradise)

By Geronimo Stilton

It was a very engaging adventure and fantasy story. The main plot of the story is deeply interesting though there are many teensy tiny problems along the way. Even though it is just a story that you might read , you should be ready at all times to find yourself in an a new world of book imagination.

A Wonderlandiful World (Ever After High)

A Wonderlandiful World (Ever After High)

By Shannon Hale

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!

Fablehaven Book of Imagination

Fablehaven Book of Imagination

By Brandon Mull

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.
