Warning this review may contain spoilers! Ophelia finds this magical boy locked inside a room in a museum and agrees to help him with magical a quest. What I thought of it: Well, I read it awhile ago so I don't remember it very well. I do remember that everything that was supposed to be a "secret' or what not was pretty obvious. I knew from the start that the museum lady was the Snow Queen. I also figured that Ophelia was the special person (I can't remember the name they used at this exact moment). Also, I quickly figured out that Alice was going to be put into the machine. So yeah, everything was obvious. Also Ophelia was just plain annoying. She just went around saying that she didn't believe in magic because she was too smart to believe in magic. Well honestly, she wasn't that smart. She just came off as snotty. And she was boring too. The author tried to make her seem quirky and what not, but all that she did was take her inhaler. She literally took it like 4 times a day. The author must of not done much research because once you take your inhaler, you're supposed to wait 4 to 6 hours before taking it again. And this book wasn't very well written. Also, I was disappointed that we never learned the Marvelous Boy's name. Overall, it was boring and predicable. I've read a lot of books that were just like it.

This book is about 2 kids, Ben and Pearl, trying to catch a sasquatch that was being treated for foot fungus at Dr. Woo's worm hospital. But the worm hospital is not only for worms, but also for creatures from the Imaginary World. When Ben finds himself going to his grandpa's house for the summer in Buttonville so his parents could sort things out, Ben was not the happiest man on earth. But Buttonville was more exciting than he thought. He befriends Pearl Petal, a girl who lives in Buttonville. One day, his grandpa's cat drops a baby dragon on Ben's bed. And that's how it all started.

Have you ever wondered how the sun came to our side of the world? Many years ago animals were sick of bumping into each other. A possum and a buzzard failed to capture the sun but a little spider spoke up with her little voice and said….to read this book and what you think about it.

This book is absolutely amazing. You actually learn a little about how life was centuries ago while indulging in some great fantasy writing. If you like the dark ages and you like unicorns than you will love this book.

REVIEW FOR IN A GLASS GRIMMLY AND A TALE DARK & GRIMM: Hansel and Gretel is not just breadcrumbs and evil witches. There's more to the story than that. Same with Jack and Jill. They didn't just fall down a hill. There were other details; details that were not told in the original short version. Or so Adam Gidwitz tells us. Both pairs of characters long for something different in their lives. These extremely scary and gory tales capture their journeys. Hansel and Gretel long for good parents who wouldn't cut off the heads of their children, and Jack and Jill are ashamed of something, and are looking for a new home and life. In two enthralling tales of adventure and gore, Adam Gidwitz's first two books are sure to make readers fans of the author and leave them begging for more fairy tales. My Thoughts: I really loved these two stories. They were so perfectly written and the author is SO creative! He must have quite an imagination to put all of this together into one story. At the end of In A Glass Grimmly, he says where the stories came from and that is very fascinating. I also have to give him a high-five for the character Eidechse von Feuer, der Menschenfleischfressende, the giant salamander; both the name and the character himself are awesome, as well as the spunky narrator who warns us throughout the story when lots of gore is up ahead. The cover art is amazing, and Hugh D'Andrade did a fantabulous job with the art. This book totally made me want to read more fairy tales and I think Adam Gidwitz deserves a standing ovation for these wonderful retellings and his creative adding on. These books are a must-read for fairy tale lovers, and especially for Grimm fans! I can not wait for the final book, The Grimm Conclusion, coming in October!

I think you should read the three ninja pigs because it is a awsome book and I think you should read it.

A very cool picture book with some quite complex concepts. Starting of with Be Proactive-great for supporting the setup of classroom and developing self awareness / responsibility and choice.

Este es un libro bastante bueno y me encanta algunos de los libros de María. Siempre nunca son lo mismo y eso es una cosa que me gusta. Otra cosa es que me gusta es que ella pensó en personas que no hablan o no se pueden leer que bien en inglés. ¡¡¡Gracias!!!
