Bad Hair Day (Whatever After #5)
By Sarah Mlynowski
Abby's in a horrible mood. She just got eleventh place in the school spelling bee, even though she was completely sure she would win. She can spell! She's smart! So why didn't she come out on top? Eyes stinging, Abby simply grumbles irritably when her little brother Jonah suggests going through the mirror that night—that is, until she realizes that Jonah intends to go through the mirror alone. Abby's sisterly instincts kick in and she runs after her tricky little brother! This time, they land in the coveted Rapunzel story. They're thrilled to meet the actual Rapunzel in-person, I mean, who doesn't want to meet an internationally-renowned fairytale princess? But Jonah accidentally shreds and rips most of Rapunzel's hair by climbing up it with his soccer cleats. Oopsie! Now, Abby and Jonah race to save Rapunzel's hair—and, most importantly, her story—before it's too late. But along the way, Rapunzel uncovers horrifying truths that have been stored away for years, and Abby realizes that winning isn't always everything. This brilliant fifth installment in the Whatever After series is bound to raise the "hairs" (get it?) on the back of your neck, make you cry, and most importantly, make you smile.

The Letter for the King
By Tonke Dragt
So it turns out that there was a letter, and there was a king. Three feudal kingdoms, complete with knights and all that: EVIELLAN, DAGONAUT, and UNAUWEN. They are the kingdoms in the book, and Eviellan, as you can see from the spelling, is evil. Or at least, it is ruled by evil humans. Tiuri, a native of The Kingdom of Dagonaut, named after the ruler, King Dagonaut, is going to be a knight. Wow. Knights have cool armor, don't they. But first, he must reflect upon the duties of a knight, but his concentration is broken by a mysterious person banging on the door and asking to be let in. The human is a squire, and he tells Tiuri to deliver a strange and scary letter to a knight, one with a white shield and black armor. The knight then tasks Tiuri with an arduous task, to deliver a letter all the way to Unauwen, before dying a horrible death because some Red Riders, horsemen from Eviellan wearing red armor have mortally wounded him. "My feet are going to be tired." Tiuri thinks, and then he takes the man's black horse, which he gifted to him, and rides on. A quest has begun, it seems. So, I shall now rate this book. Laura Watkinson did a great job translating the book. (It was originally in Dutch.) The book has an old-fashioned style, so some readers may not want to read it maybe. The descriptions are nice, and it is filled with action in most parts. However, the book was not very deep; there was character development, but they could have more character. Overall, people who wish to read classics and/or fantasy will like this book
Dragon Captives (The Unwanteds Quests)
By Lisa McMann
I won this book in a giveaway, and it was superb! It picks up about ten years where McMann's last series ended. Twin girls Fifer and Thisbe have extremely powerful magic, but there brother Alex (leader of Artime) won't let them learn how to use it until they learn how to control it. You see their magic has a reputation for being destructive and causing problems. They don't do it on purpose of course, it just slips out accidentally. When one of the dragons (Hux) Alex had made wings for in the previous series comes to Artime seeking help, the twins think this is the perfect opportunity to show Alex just how well they can use their magic for good. Fifer and Thisbe leave the island to help Hux and his siblings, but are met with some unexpected troubles upon arrival. I highly recommend reading this book. A great read for fans of the original Unwanteds series which I would recommend reading before reading this book.
A Curse So Dark and Lonely
By Brigid Kemmerer
I really liked this book (as you can tell by my 5 stars). Although it takes a little bit to get the action started, it is a good read. I'm not a big fan of romance, but the romance wasn't too bad in the story. My personal favorite character was Grey. I liked the ending, which leaves you waiting for the sequel that's coming out on Jan 7, 2020. It did have a few words that aren't curse words but aren't exactly the greatest words to say and a few mentions of mature things. There were some parts that younger kids wouldn't get, so I'd recommend it for ages 12+. All in all, it was a great book and a very original reimagining of Beauty and the Beast.

Pip Bartlett's Guide to Magical Creatures
By Maggie Stiefvater, Jackson Pearce
PIp Bartett has a gift-she can talk to magical creatures. But nobody believes her. She absolutely loves animals, and is thrilled to pieces when for career day one parent brings unicorns. But things get out of hand when Pip ends up on the back of the unicorn in the middle of a unicorn riot. Her parents decide it is best for her to spend the summer away, so she is sent off to her Aunt Emma's at the Cloverton Clinic for Magical Creatures. Things seem to be going great-she gets to see all these magical creatures and talk to them. But then Fuzzles appear and start bursting into flames all over the place-in barns, in bushes, in underwear drawers. The town is in deep trouble, and if the problem isn't solved there is going to be a lot more trouble. Pip and her new friend Tomas must set out to solve the mystery, and save the magical creatures. I recommend this book to animal lovers. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Heartless
By Marissa Meyer
(Spoiler-free review) Catherine Pinkerton loves to bake, and she dreams of opening a bakery with her maid friend, Mary Ann. Although she wants this badly, her parents would never approve of a girl that had a chance of being the future queen “destroying” her status to own a business. At a ball where Catherine learns of the king’s intent to propose to her, she meets the court jester, Jest, and falls deeply in love, but fate has other plans. This book is my favorite of all time. Marissa Meyer writes so beautifully, and she will make you love the characters so much. It’s a retelling/origin story of the Queen of Hearts, and it tells of how she became so heartless. The book itself is long, but it is a real page-turner and will rip your heart out at the ending. I read this book in less than one day, maybe about five hours—I couldn’t tear myself away. The characters, scenes, and the overwhelming emotion made me feel something too as I screamed at the pages. Yes, this book destroyed me emotionally, but you should definitely read it—I’ve never felt any emotions as strong as this while reading a book. There’s also a musical version on YouTube, it’s pretty book accurate, but I haven’t watched the whole thing. As for the age range for this book, I’d say maybe 14 and up, but if you’re a teenager, you should be able to read this book (like I did). Yes, it has romance, but it’s not very explicit, but I don’t think that people under 13 should read it. Overall, the characters are amazing and so is the character development. I fell in love with all of the characters and it’s overall a really great book, and you should read it!
