I finally got around to read this book! It's a beautiful story and it's totally original. There's many surprises in this book, most being totally unpredictable which gives the story a nice edge. This story is told from the perspective of 3 major characters. Alice, Millie, and Jeremy. My favorite character by far in this story was Millie. Millie has big dreams—like singing. Unfortunately though, her fearful and strict tribe forbids Millie to go out into the "No-Fur" world in fear that the "No-Furs" will hunt down the Yares (aka bigfoots)! But eventually, Millie's curiosity and courage gets the best of her and she attempts to audition for The Next Stage, a talent show. Millie faces challenges to achieve her dream, with the help of someone you might not expect! Alice has always struggled with her self-esteem and making friends. Alice eventually comes to the conclusion that she MUST be half Bigfoot. So Alice embarks on a quest with Jeremy and Jo to find out if there's more than meets the eye. Was Alice adopted? Why doesn't Alice have any fur? And most importantly, WHY is Mrs. Merriweather working for the Department of Offical Inquiry? Overall, Alice was a great character, unfortunately for me she became flat and boring after she figured she "lost" her best friend, Millie, to her nemesis. It was just constant "woe is me" and got annoying after awhile. Jeremy, if you've read the first book, is super interested in bigfoots. He works with Jo to help prove to the public if bigfoots are real. Jeremy's massive discovery concluded that Alice is NOT human. This is a major part in the Series, since it kickstarts the story. Jeremy, Alice, and Jo constantly stumble upon clues. But one day, Jeremy meets a strange man who works for the Department of Offical Inquiry who is interested in bigfoots. Jeremy becomes rightfully suspicious, but nevertheless works with the man and tries to lie to him to keep the DOI off Alice's tracks. To wrap up this insanely long review, I would give the story 4.5/5 stars. I loved the majority of the book, and I hope the author will continue the trilogy. However, I felt like the author was sometimes making fun of slender woman, saying they're too weak (the author has struggled w/ herself so I figured she was projecting her opinions into the story). I also felt like Alice was way overdone. The author also tried to convey a message that I felt was unnecessary. But maybe you'll see past this and give this wonderful book a try. :)

“Did it matter? Have we not taught you how to act in public? Bite your tongue one minute and prevent a lifetime of burden.” A gripping story packed with heroism, heartache and hope. Set-in modern-day Pakistan, 12-year-old Amal’s only dream is to become a teacher one day. Unfortunately, Amal’s ambitions spiral out of control when she has to pay a hefty price for being disrespectful to the landlord’s son. Forced to become a servant, she faces daily struggles with courage. Will her sheer determination lead to her freedom? Author, Aisha Saeed, formally from Pakistan, easily identifies with the main character, Amal. Friendship, perseverance, loyalty, diligence and enthusiasm all come together in this soul-stirring novel. This book truly deserves 5 stars because as a 12-year-old, I realise how fortunate I am for all that I have. Another must read by Aisha Saeed is “Written in the Stars”.

Path of a Warrior is another amazing read...a book that you absolutely cannot put down! It will definitely satisfy your cravings for a good story, and just after a few pages, you’ll be hooked. The series has come back, this time with one of the most awesome, adventurous books you’ll ever read.

The first two books in the thrilling Survivors series are rich, fascinating tales packed with action, which lead you deeper into the world of resourceful characters and the wild animal world. It glitters with adventure, and is a great book to open up on a day when you want something interesting to read. A definitely recommended story of wonder and amazement!

Warriors: Outcast is a remarkable story woven with fascination and the art of writing...a book that you will treasure, and never close the cover. It’s a resounding read, packed with amusement, courage, loyalty, and thrill, waiting to be picked up from the shelves. If you want a book to relax with and read, get this amazing action thriller!

I loved this book!! But the thing is, I. Hate. Breezepaw. He is sooooo annoying! It was so sad when Lionpaw had to part with Heatherpaw. I personally think that heartbreak is because of the "spirit"of evil Tigerstar. But I think Tigerstar also wanted sincerly to help Lionpaw in his training. Ashfur looked like he didn't care about Lionpaw, even though during the apprentice ceremony he told Firestar he wouldn't let ThunderClan down (in book one). I liked Hollypaw's desire to help RiverClan because they've been driven out of their home.

I really enjoyed this book!!😃😬It is definitely a great book for HORSELOVING girls everywhere!!! The only thing I thought was a little weird is that she ends up actually liking her cousin! Who is related by blood! Also they do have a few bad words in it...and it is a little sad.... BUT I STILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT!!!!!!🐴🐴❤️❤️

Ever wonder how hot air balloons fly? Ever wondered who invented them? If so, you have chosen the best book to turn your questions into answers. It describes the nerve-racking flight of the first hot air balloon ever flown, with the classics of a version with a duck and other barn animals on the balloon. It is a nice book that describes the first hot air balloon ride and shows the historical story of the world's first hot-air balloon.

I liked this book. It was a little scary, but otherwise it was okay! Frank and Joe have to get a new invention out of a house at midnight, but thieves and intruders come by and the Hardy Boys must get away....
