Conner is chosen for his school's field trip to Germany to hear three new stories from the Brothers Grimm! The first two are shockingly same to Conner's, but the third...well it seems that it is a warning for the Land of Stories! Conner has to warn his sister and the whole fairy world- because this warning might be deadly. Teaming up with Bree, Conner's classmate on the trip and his crush, and some help for talkative lion statues and Mother Goose, Conner has one goal: keep everyone safe and don't die. Meanwhile in the Land of Stories, Alex is thriving. She gets to grant three wishes a day, is becoming the youngest person to join the fairy council, and now has....kind of a boyfriend? But her grandmother isn't doing too well, and it's worrying Alex. The Fairy Godmother can't go now...can she? When Conner comes crashing in, followed by an army and some humans, Alex pushes her worries to the back of her brain. Right now it's time to save The Land of Stories- and not die! Happy reading!

Littler Women: A Modern Retelling
By Laura Schaefer
i loved it really i did i just found it extremely sad in the end 😢 but the book itself was amazing and had a good ending just loads of parts were sad. The first thing we had were the ribbon and edit text in Word format for it was the original file with just the same file as you sent me a copy for it.
Loot
By Jude Watson
There is a lot to love about Loot. Jewel heists? Master plans? Kid criminals? Yes, please! I love stories about kid spies or criminals (both would be even better!) and this book had potential. Sadly, I can't call it a favorite. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. The main characters were Jules, March, Darius and Izzy. They were all pretty awesome and even though the likelihood of kids having their abilities is practically non-existent, I enjoyed the humor and energy between them. The teamwork is incredible. For example, even though Darius is the stereotypical "tough guy," he is very protective of Izzy, who is practically a younger sister to him. I think my main issue I have with this book is that the whole story is highly improbable, particularly the ending. This book is meant to be entertaining. I get it. But these kids are easily breaking into heavily-guarded places with merely a few hours of planning. How likely does that sound? Not very probable. The ending was also highly unrealistic. This ruined the reading experience for me. That being said, there were many aspects of Loot that I enjoyed a lot. Besides stellar action scenes, this book could also be very funny. I don't laugh out loud very often but this book cracked me up sometimes. Here's an example taken from the ARC in which Jules and March are visiting Hamish, one of their father's business associates. "Jasmine, can you cover the register?" "You told me to concentrate on e-commerce orders today," she said. "Change messes up my aura." "The universe has many paths, and yours leads to the cash register," Hamish said. "Peace out," she answered with a shrug, and left. See? Funny. Before beginning Loot, I wasn't sure how the whole "being a criminal" thing would be handled. This is a MG novel after all! In real life, criminality is absolutely horrible. Gang wars, drugs, guns, etc. It wasn't all covered, but Jude Watson didn't do a bad job of representing the backstabbing and treachery of the criminal world without going into gruesome details It was an entertaining and funny read that I can recommend to MG fans of Gordan Korman.
Smiles to Go
By Jerry Spinelli
Smiles to go is a book about the everyday life of a nineth-grade boy named Will Tuppence and problems he faces with his family, love life, school, and friends. His opinions and feelings about his life are events that happened to every reader. When I read this book, I feel like Will and I have the same opinion about many things, and this makes me feel like I am a character in this book. One thing I can relate to very much is that Will always thinks that his parents love his sister more, so he always complains about how unfair life is but nobody listens to him. This reminds of my grandparents and my little sister because I would complain to my parents, but they don’t listen to me either, so I know how he feels. Even though there are many things I can relate to in this book, I think there are two elements I don't like about this book. The first element is that there is not enough action in this book, so it’s a little boring. Most actions are about skateboard and very normal events that everyone does. The second element is that the author didn’t write enough detail to describe the characters‘ appearances, so the characters do not feel real because I can’t imagine what they look like. I don’t recommend to the peopel who want a lot of action and surprises in the book. I do recommend it to teens enjoy reading about things that could happen to them.
