Lodestar, the fifth book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger, is another epic page-turning book. The fight with the Neverseen is still ongoing. Sophie Foster doesn't know who or what to trust. With her friend Keefe gone and life a blur, there is a possibility that the lost cities will never return normal again. But there is a new clue, and that clue may lead Sophie, her friends, and the Black Swan to the answer of the mess. It leads to dangers, risk-taking, and maybe even failure. But Sophie isn't going to let the Neverseen win. She isn't giving up without a fight. This book was so exciting for me because every chapter constantly left me in suspense. I also loved how Tam and Linh Song were introduced in this book. Just saying, this is from the #1 KOTLC fan.

The story of the Ickabog shows just how quickly a little lie can turn into a never-ending deception. In Cornucopia, each part of the kingdom is known for having a specialty food that they are the best at making, like cheeses or pastries. Best friends Daisy and Bert have heard the rumors and legend of the Ickabog, a massive monster that eats people, but they always knew they were just stories... or were they? When a shepherd from the Marshlands, a far out and rural part of the kingdom, says the Ickabog ate his dog, ruler King Fred the Fearless doesn't believe him at first. Fred thinks going to investigate the Ickabog would be the perfect opportunity to prove that he could be a good king with no risk after people had begun to call him selfish, vain, and cruel, since the Ickabog was only a myth... right? His advisors Spittleworth and Flapoon concoct a story of lies after an accident on the journey about encountering the real Ickabog with King Fred saving the day, and it spreads through Cornucopia faster than Bert can eat a Hopes-of-Heaven pastry. Taxes and defense brigades are put in place to help protect from the supposed Ickabog, even though Spittleworth knows he made it all up, and the only thing the defense brigade taxes were helping was the flow of money into his pockets. Daisy and Bert are determined to thwart Spittleworth after learning some shocking information, and they are ready to do whatever it takes to restore peace to the kingdom. But Spittleworth is dangerous, threatening to kill and imprison their families if they don't stay quiet. It's a battle of the wits to determine who will come out on top. This book was AMAZING! I love a good fairytale, and this book did not disappoint! J.K. Rowling worked her magic again into this page-turner that will keep your imagination running. The suspense, adventure, plot-twists and complex characters really made this book enjoyable, and I loved every minute of it. I was transported into a magical world with endless possibilities as I read this book! The colorful illustrations made by kids throughout the book were the cherry on top! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in need of a great fairytale, and I would recommend it for ages 8+.

This story is a great read for little girls and boys who love fairy-tales. It is a bit different from the regular Cinderella fairy-tale though. Cinderella is going to Grimm Academy. Of course, Cindy's evil step sisters ruin how school is going for her. They put her down and try and make her seem like she is an embarrassment. The evil step sisters don't stop their evilness there. They are plotting something evil to destroy the royal ball. Cinderella and her new friends must stop the evil duo before midnight arrives. This tale is one no kid will forget.

This is a wonderful book. It is about four sisters: the March sisters. Meg; the eldest and the prettiest, Jo; the tomboyish, author, Beth; the sweet, shy one, and Amy; the youngest and most self conscious artist. They and their wise mother have to face the brave of the war going on, with the hanging feeling that their soldier father might not come home. While so, they meet a young man named Laurie, who soon is like a part of the family. Later in the book, Laurie falls in love with Jo. Jo, however, does not feel the same way.When Laurie confesses, Jo breaks his heart. I for one, disagree with this. I feel Laurie and Jo would have made a lovely couple. Later on, Beth gets brushed with death once, but manages to survive. I was really sad when Beth died from scarlet fever, and I wish she didn't. When the girls grow up, each one goes to pursue their dreams except for Meg, who marries John Brooke, Laurie's old tutor. They have twins, and have a happy family. As for Amy, she heads off to Europe with grumpy old Aunt March to paint. While in Europe, she stumbles upon Laurie, who also tried to escape from home for a while to try to mend his heartbreak. Honestly, I think Laurie was being a little creepy. But of course, Amy and Laurie fall in love and get married. And for the last but best character, Jo, she escaped to New York City to study, and writes a book. While there, she falls in love with a college professor, and they later get married. It was a very good story. I recommend it to anyone looking for a relatable historical fiction with excellent vocabulary.

This is a junior novelization of the new live action of Beauty and The Beast. Belle is different from every girl in the village since she can read. When her father gets lost in the woods, he is forced to go in the beast's castle to seek refuge. He is imprisoned until Belle goes after him to take his place. Belle develops a friendship and eventually falls in love with The Beast breaking the spell that changes him back to being a human being. I really enjoyed this book because Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie.

It's the best book ever, so far! I totally recommend! I LOVE DISNEY DESCENDANTS! I have every single DISNEY DESENCENDANTS book possible. My favourite characters are MAL AND CARLOS, but mostly MAL!

The main conflict is a little different for this story, the third book in The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel series, because this time the problem is internal. The Baby-Sitters Club members have all turned on each other, because of a fight that none of them remembers anymore. Kristy is mad because Claudia accused her of being a job hog, and Mary Ann and Stacey called her bossy. Claudia is mad because Kristy, Stacey, and Mary Ann all called her a job hog too. Stacey is mad because everyone else is mad, but she truly wants everyone to make up and get over it. Mary Ann is especially mad because Stacey called her a shy baby and Kristy called her a crybaby. All because Kristy took a baby-sitting job without consulting the other members, because it was for Lucy, a newborn baby, I mean who can blame her, babies are cute! Mary Ann is also struggling with her overprotective father, because he won't let her wear cool clothes, wear her hair down instead of in braids, and stay out later so she can take more baby-sitting jobs. Mary Ann feel alone since Kristy, her former best friend isn't talking to her, so Mary Ann makes a new friend in Dawn, the new kid at school. Eventually the Baby-Sitters Club members come to their senses and make up, and they even get a new member for their club, but what happened in between is where the lesson really is. I would recommend this to kids who like easy reads or graphic novels.

Little Women is a classic but sweet novel written by the American author Louisa May Alcott, that is talking about the life of four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March. The story was quite long to me and it took me awhile to finish it, but otherwise, I loved Little Women so much! If you are looking for a classic literature book to bury your nose into, this book would fit your taste!
