Have you ever wondered how fairy tales were formed? Look no further than The Inquisitor's Tale! I really enjoyed this, and it gave a unique perspective in how stories are written. Each of the characters were unique, such as Jeanne being influenced by Joan of Arc, as both are strong warriors. Jacob's motivation about family was especially important and was very real. I also loved Will's character, because he was so kind and passionate about his religion. The illustrations also brought a whole new level and helped me with the different characters. What I loved most about the book was how much the author made sure that the book was authentic. He did a lot of research to make sure that he was proud of the story, and I could tell he put a lot of hard work into writing this book! Overall, I would suggest this book for older readers who want to read about a more serious story that also has a great plot!

Jack Sullivan was just a normal kid with a crush when his whole world was set upside down. I really liked this book, though it did have some faults. Firstly for the faults, was the world building. I loved that the book plopped us into the middle of the action, but I wish that there was more explanation, such as where were all the other kids, and it seemed slightly convenient that people that affected Jack's life were there. I also wasn't sure what to think of June's character. She was kind of stereotypical, and Jack had talked about her so much I guess I was expecting...more from her character. However, I loved Jack and his best friends, and I loved how they incorporated all the monsters into the story so seamlessly. Jack had a unique voice, along with his best friend, Quint, and I thought that they portrayed their friendship as well as most guys friendships well (or at least, from my perspective of a girl). Overall, I really liked this book and would recommend it to people who are looking for an action based and fast moving plot book!

Just as the name suggests, the book "Enter a Glossy Web" was truly a well- thought out web of countless worlds and dimensions woven together. It really was a charming book and I could tell that the author was trying not to make it a cliche fantasy book- which was a relief because I'm really sick and tired of those Mary- Sues that save the world because it's their destiny. Meanwhile, George's journey was not because of fate, but because she was the only one to do it... which I thought was intriguing, yet brave on her part to pursue her adventure. But if there was a piece of construcitve criticism I had to add, it would be that the character building needed some work(backstory layers, more 3D), and they tended to act too mature for their age. I particularly liked that the worlds that the author spun together were whimsical, funny, mysterious, and alluded to mythology here and there. I especially enjoyed that the gateway between worlds was a mud puddle! Next time I walk up to a mud puddle, I will make sure to try it out and reach the travelling port for all worlds- just kidding. Overall, other than the character building, I really thought that this read was a spectacular children's book. I would recommend it to advanced 7-10 year old readers for growth of vocabulary and imagination.

While I was skeptical at first about the premise of the book, because it was influenced so heavily from Sleeping Beauty, I ended up loving it! Harriet was such a strong character, and used the curse to her advantage, which was so unique and original for the author to do! I really enjoyed the villain character as well, she was very sarcastic and brought a lot of life to the story. I feel that this is a book that everyone can benefit from reading, and everyone will find something that they enjoy.
