This book blew my mind! I was definitely not expecting this! Serafina and her pa live secretly in the basement of the great Biltmore Estate, and Serafina can never reveal her identity to anybody, as instructed by her father. But why? Serafina wonders if she is different than any other human, if she's a creature of the night. She has uncommon big amber eyes, unlike anyone she had ever seen, and this makes her question her heritage. But Serafina must put those thoughts aside. One night as she prowls the Estate in darkness (just the way she likes it) Serafina sees a man in a black cloak attempting to capture a little girl in a yellow dress. She springs into action, but Serafina is too late. With a narrow escape, Serafina is able to make it to safety. But the other kids aren't as lucky. Every night after that, a child goes missing. Connecting the dots, Serafina and her new friend Braeden make it their quest to figure out who the man in the black cloak really is and defeat him for good! And will Serafina ever find her family roots? After reading this book, I was in awe! The masterful writing of the author was a perfect touch onto this epic tale! 5 stars!! I can't wait to read the 2nd book!

I read this book for the first time in 9th grade as an assignment for History of the Espionage and Spying (yes, that was a course I could take in school and I loved it!). I didn't think I would like it that much, considering my usual genres consist of science fiction, fantasy, and poetry; I had also avoided reading it for a summer reading assignment, instead opting for Eighth Grade Bites, a book about an 8th-grade vampire, but that's beside the point. My friend had recommended that I read Code Name Verity for the assignment because she had absolutely loved it when she read it, so I did. It took me a little bit of time to actually sit down and read the book but once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It remains to be my favorite book of all time and also remains to be the only book that has made me cry for three days straight. If you don't already know from the summary of the book, Code Name Verity is the story of two female spies, Maddie and Queenie, and the bond they shared together. The story is written from the point of view of Verity, who was captured during a mission behind enemy lines and is being forced to write down everything she knows about the British intelligence. As a reader, you are reading the letters of information (complete with crossing out and notes in the margins) as Verity writes them to the person who captured her. Through these, you dive into the story of Maddie and Queenie's friendship and backstories. Overall, the writing is impeccable! It really resembles the time period that the book takes place and evokes feelings in the reader as they read Verity's writings. The friendship of Maddie and Queenie immediately connected with a friendship that I have, which is likely why the book was so emotionally touching for me. It is definitely a must-read for anyone and everyone.

Eva's friend Macy has a little sister who can't fly on her own. So Eva's class decides to raise money to buy her a super–cool flying chair! Half of the class opens a bakery to raise the money. The other half opens a candy store. Will the plan go in progress?

We should all try Dr. Kittycat because she is very helpful and delivers a kind message: Be kind and help everyone.

I like it, And it has AMAZING stuff!👍🏾💟 You should read it. It is the best Ever! :3 Follow if you like it! UwU

This story is awesome! It's about the adventures of Dr. Doolittle, a famous naturalist who can speak animal languages. He also has a helper, Tommy Stubbins, a parrot, a monkey, and a dog named Jip.

Such an interesting book! I loved the pictures, they were drawn well and the perspective was written well. I would recommend this for ages 8+

Based on Cinderella, this story has a big difference. More twists and turns! Ella never wanted to be cursed. Cursed to be obedient, that is. You're probably wanting to know how it started. Well, this gift-giver-lover fairy, Lucinda, gave her it when she was first born. Lucinda didn't know how bad the curse would be. The curse effected the way she acted to Prince Charmont. It gets worse when her mother dies. I totally do not like this part. When I read it, I freaked out. It gets even worse when her father marries Dame Olga. Hattie and Olive, two bossy sisters, become Ella's sister. But at the ball, when Hattie reveals who Ella is, Ella takes off. She was suppose to be ''Lela''. That's because Char was not suppose to know her identity. Suddenly, Char demands to see her, so he lines everyone outside. When he finds Ella, the ordering is extreme. Gail Carson Levine made this book more magical then the original Cinderella. This book totally deserved to win a Newbery Honer.

This was such an amazing book, I really want you to read it. It is a romance but it's still really good!❤️😊🤗😋💚😘😍

Tomorrow when the war began Have you ever come back to a place where everything has gone horribly wrong? Seven teenagers go out camping to a place named hell (aka Tailor’s Stitch) and come back too see their houses destroyed, their pets sick and families gone. Tomorrow when the war began is a sad, adventurous, frightening, and romantic. A small town in Victoria, Australia going into war after seven teenagers Ellie, Lee, Homer, Fiona (Fi), Robyn, Kevin and Corrie go camping. Ellie as the narrator tells her views of perspective and describes the characters/friends. Lee takkam is a very active and strong person and he finds himself in a relationship with Ellie. Corrie Mackenzie is Ellie’s best friend and suggested to go camping first, she is very optimistic about them coming home safely. Kevin Holmes shows himself as a tough guy and tries to be the hero in tough situations. Robyn Mathers is the leader of one of the groups with Corrie, Chris and Kevin. Chris Lang comes later in the book and is Ellie’s cousin he decides to join the group after his parents are in Ireland. Lastly Homer is known as a bad boy by the group he tries to take over the group and knows what to do in a troubled situation. My personal opinion about the book is that there were some chapter that I wasn’t interested in and I thought were a bit boring and then there were the drama and romance that drew my attention. I’d recommend the book to people, as it is very exciting. People who like books like the Hunger Games must read this because it is very similar. The romance, the adventure and the genres are all a like. The Genres of this book is adventure fiction, romance fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction and young adult fiction. The small Wirrawee town becomes invaded by an army of soldiers and becomes mayhem (utopian and dystopian fiction). The seven teenagers find love in a camping site named hell, as they are all alone (Young adult and romance fiction). As they come back and try to plan attacks and blow-ups near the soldiers (adventure fiction). John Marsden put the main character (Ellie) as the narrator because the story wouldn’t be the same if it were he. The story runs on Ellie’s thoughts and opinions. Which makes the book much better. Author: John Marsden Rating: 2.5/5
