Kids Books - Magic

Magdalys lives in New York, where dinosaurs roam the streets and segregation still prevails. Magdalys is an orphan, and with her other friends, she stays in the Colored Orphan Asylum. There, she missed her siblings dearly, and was also bullied by the matron. One night, when the Crunks are performing The Tempest at the Zanzibar Savannah Theater, many orphans from the Colored Orphan Asylum are kidnapped on their way to the theater by none other than Richard Riker, the magistrate. On that same night, Magdalys notices that Varney, the orphanage's triceratops, seems to be listening to Magdalys, and replying by following her instructions, such as "go". Magdalys and the rest of her friends find refuge with the Dactyl Hill neighborhood, where they train dactyls and plan a way to rescue their friends before it's too late. As well as that, Magdalys strengthens her ability to talk to dinosaurs, which will help a great deal on their quest. Will they save their friends before it's too late? Or will they be gone forever? To find out, read Dactyl Hill Squad, which I give a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I love how dinosaurs were a major part of the story and how interesting/well-thought each character was. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good adventure and dinosaurs.

This book is halfway to overflowing with magic. Say anything while holding the magic charm from this book and you will get precisely half of what you wished for. The book starts off with Four children living in a poor town, and one of them finds a quarter on the sidewalk, and picks it up. It turns out to be a magic charm, a charm that splits whatever you wish precisely in half. Then the children go on all sorts of crazy adventures. From knights to a talking cat, their story just keeps getting crazier. This book is quite good, and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend to readers in fourth, fifth, and maby sixth grade.

This book is an action book it is very exiting and sometimes it's even scary!! Even thought the cover says"princess" don't judge it by the cover try reading it!!! It's like you get transformed into the books land of stories(buy the way read the land of stories it's awesome!!)! I'd recommend this book to anybody even adults but to younger kids than first grade it would be kind of hard to read(it's a pretty thick book). Read this book if you like it read my other reviews and more!!!

I know that I am too old to be reading this type of book, but it was so good! The illustrations are great, and I find that the different fonts and color in the text help me focus while reading it. I love it, and it is greatly recommended.

Mouseheart is the tale of a brave young mouse and an explored world. Hopper's mom disappeared and now all he has left is his sister, Pinkie, and his little brother, Pup. But when he is forced into the world of the rats and then stolen to the world of the mice, he has to decide....who is telling the truth? What is hidden in the refugee camps? And how is he the "Chosen One?" I loved Mouseheart. I thought "Listen up, you, you don't usually read books told by mice!" but I decided to give it a go because my aunts recommended it to me, and it was worth it! I would give this book six out of five, but since there's only five stars, I'll have to go with a full 100% awesomeness rating! -- BKS reviews

I read this book because I really like the Geronimo Stilton series. In this book, it is springtime, and Geronimo has to come up with a new idea of a book to write. But you can't just write a book on command, right? Geronimo was hit with a writer's block. He couldn't think. He ended up biking on the countryside, where he came across the Stilton Family Farm. H got nostalgic for all his memories there, and decided to buy it... Right before a mysterious lady in a leopard limousine could. Who was that? Anyways, he told his family & friends at the Rodent's Gazette. They loved it, and moved in with Geronimo. By winter, they were finished renovating the farm. They took 3 seasons! Ack! One day, Geronimo went for a walk, and found a tree nobody had seen in like. a 100 years! He told his family. Then, Geronimo got a text: "You took the farm from me. Now keep your paws off the tree." Or something like that. I can't tell you the rest, but here's a hint: AUCTION. And I rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is a work of art--I cannot describe it in any other way. The Elders is action-packed, witty, and nicely written. I liked it even better than the previous book in the Foxcraft series, The Taken, because Inbali Iserles has once again written a thrilling and beautiful book. All the characters were extremely relatable, with good personalities and humanlike feelings--especially Isla, the main protagonist. She is brave, courageous, and determined, willing to do anything to find her brother, Pirie. Her personality makes her an awesome character whom I could look up to, and she faces her fears with all four paws on the ground.-------Review: Isla's trek through the unknown wilderness to find her brother has now led her into The Wildlands, a vast forest that holds many secrets. Her life is at stake--but she has come this far using foxcraft, an ancient magic that only foxes like her can use. But evil lurks in the depths of the Wildlands...evil that even she may not be able to face. When a strange fox with the ability to make others do as he pleases comes into the forest, Isla is the one who must stop him. Can she do it? Read this book to find out!

This wasn't my favorite book. The ending was too simple, and I felt like the author didn't express enough about the world that the book takes place in. It was really short, and if I'm honest with myself, it was NOT a fourth and fifth grade level book. It was more like a third and fourth grade level book. I think the interest level is more Grades 2-4 rather than grades 3-7. I'd heard a lot of great things about the book, but I don't think I saw it how other people did. It was an interesting setting, where almost everyone had a talent, but that wasn't much of a fantasy for me. I think that everyone is extremely good at SOMETHING, they just don't know it yet. But in the book, it was kind of saying that you can only be what you're good at. I might be extremely good at something, but that does NOT mean I have to enjoy doing it. I was especially disappointed with the book because the author, Lisa Graff wrote one of my favorite books of all time, Absolutely Almost. That book really touched my heart and is special to me. But I didn't feel that in A Tangle of Knots. I wish that it had more depth to it. It was really flat for me. Anyways, it did have a touching moment with Cady and her father, but that was the only special thing about A Tangle of Knots. After reading Absolutely Almost, I had assumed A Tangle of Knots would be equally good if not better. Boy was I wrong.

This book is the sequel to Lisa Graff’s A Tangle Of Knots. This book is set just after the first book ends, but there are some time passages and you should probably read the prologue, just FYI, I think it helps deepen your understanding. You don’t have to. Anyway, this book takes place in a camp on the edge of a lake, a camp for people only with singular talents. Liliana Vera also has a singular talent, she is a Pinnacle, someone who can move objects with there mind. There are lots of other singular talents the campers poses, such as being able to hold your breath for a long time, hearing things up with your hands, changing your hair at will, lie detecting, tasting memory’s, and even a recollector, someone who can take and then give memories at will, amount others. At this camp, the lake holds a secret, but almost no one knows the secrets the lake holds. There may be some dangerous people on the lose, and it is up to the campers to stop them.
