Kid Authors is the next book is the "Kid" series. It tells stories of famous writers from when they were children. Each story was slightly different. Some were about their family, and childhood experiences. Others were about their inspiration for their stories and how/when they began to write. One of my favorite stories was about Roald Dahl, and how he drew some of his stories from his childhood experiences. For example, he was inspired by a local candy shop he passed everyday as a boy, and later wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I liked that this book was written in a narrative format, instead of straight facts about the author's life. It was a nice quick read. I recommend this book for elementary and middle school kids, especially those who like writing. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This book was awesome! I haven't read all of the Ripley's Believe or Not books, although I do have some editions, but this one is definitely my favorite! This book is full of 245 brightly colored pages, with thousands of amazing facts and stories. Each set of pages are split into sections such as "Animals", "People", "Beyond Belief", "Pop Culture", etc. Some of these stories are insane! For example, one of my favorites is about Brittany Walsh. She can shoot a bow and arrow with her feet, and do all sorts of tricks while standing on her hands! And did you know "Cleopatra actually lived closer in time to the building of the 1st Pizza Hut than the building of the Pyramids"? Another page I especially enjoyed was a two-spread page about Pokémon, as I am an avid player of the game. To make my point, there were so many unusual stories, and yet many of them happened to everyday people. Another thing I really liked about this book is that at the very beginning there are a couple pages about Robert Ripley, who was the original author/collector really liked learning about how this legend first began the series. There were also tons of colorful pictures that captured the stories perfectly. This book could be used as entertainment for hours of fun, and would be a lot of fun to share with a friend or family member. It was so much fun to see all the variety of facts and stories-you never knew what you were going to read. I think this is the best Ripley book yet. And as there are both stories and photos, I recommend this book to people of all ages. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I was very intrigued by the summary about this book. September is taken on an adventure to Fairyland where she makes new friends and is apparently the only person who can assist the new Marquess. Unfortunately, I found it hard to follow along. The language and description was kind of hard to read. Because I couldn't even understand what was going on, I didn't finish the book. I rate this book 1 out of 5 stars.

Mal (daughter of Maleficent ), Evie ( daughter of the Evil Queen ), Jay ( son of Jafar ), and Carlos ( son of Cruella de Vil ) are all stuck on the Isle of the Lost. Twenty years ago their parents and all the other villains were banished from Auradon and forced to live ( without magic ) on the decrepit and disgusting Isle of the Lost. Life on the island is basically everyone trying to do more evil things than the last person. Then Carlos, who is really good at the techie stuff, invents what he thinks will get them all more cable channels; instead the force field that protects the island from magic gets a hole in it which makes Maleficent's scepter the Dragon's Eye gain power. All four set out to get the scepter and discover more about themselves along the way.

I love this series!!! After learning that an ancient terrorist organization is out to get her, Cammie Morgan has been watched 24/7. But while in London Cammie meets her covert operations teacher and realizes that everything or everyone isn't always what they seem. Now all of her teachers and the other spy organizations are out to get her teacher who is in the organization and make him pay. Can Cammie stay safe, prove that her teacher is innocent, all while dealing with the very mysterious Blackthorne boy Zach? Read to find out! Very interesting and lots of movement though not so much as the first three.

Beauty and the Beast is a well known Disney classic so some people may ask why make a new one. I myself asked the question but was blown away by the beauty and artistry of the movie which answered my question from the first glance and opening number Little Town. All the actors in the movie seemed as if they were born exactly for their part my personal favorites were Belle ( of course ), the Beast ( also a duh ), Gaston, and LeFou. If you haven't seen this you have to it is amazing!!!!

The third book in the Gallagher Girl series did not disappoint. While at a conference for her roommate Macey's father, Cammie and Macey are attacked....by enemy agents. Luckily they get away but not without some scars. Now Cammie can't help but feel that somehow the Macey she knew last year has changed....in a bad way. Can Cammie protect Macey from the enemy while dealing with the Blackthorne boy Zach? Read to find out!

Meg Murray is a high school student. Although she loves doing math, most people believe she's a dunce, and she is constantly in the trouble with her teachers and the principal. She is also very protective of her little brother Charles Wallace. Charles Wallace is extremely smart, although as Meg he is often misjudged-mostly because he only speaks around his family. And even though he is only five years old, he speaks in full sentences, and can understand almost anybody without them speaking. Their parents are both scientists-but their father has been missing for almost two years on a mysterious assignment. One night Meg, Charles Wallace and their mother are having a midnight snack when a stranger appears at their door. A stranger who turns out to be magical. Soon after Meg, Charles Wallace and their new friend Calvin go on a crazy adventure through space and time with a trio of magical beings: Mrs. Whatist, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Who. Will they be able to band together, and defeat these forces of evil as well as find their missing father? The first time I read this book was several years ago, and I couldn't really understand it so I didn't enjoy it. This time around I'm older(and hopefully wiser), and I really loved it! I recommend this book for middle and high-schoolers (and adults). I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
