The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy My rating: 3 of 5 stars I like reading new spins on classic fairy tales, and this book was a good one. In a way, it kind of mocked the classic stories. The classic stories have the princesses who are protected and saved by Prince … Continue reading The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom

The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade
The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade by Jordan Sonnenblick My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book covers some deep stuff. Part of me thinks that it should have been geared towards teens, but another part of me realizes that there are younger kids that are dealing with some of the same issues as Maverick, … Continue reading The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade
The Worst Witch
The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy My rating: 3 of 5 stars I started reading this series after I had already watched the first season of the Netflix show. I have to say, this is one of those raw times when I can truly say that I like both. They have their differences, but I … Continue reading The Worst Witch
Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library
Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library by Julie Gassman My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book is a cute way to teach kids about library etiquette. It talks about things a dragon might do, and why it would be bad for that to happen in a library. Of course, not wanting to … Continue reading Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library
Ivy and Bean
Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm pretty sure a friendship like these two have is what every little kid really wants. This book shows kids that first impressions are not always correct, and you are capable of creating your own magic. Of course, a bunch of worms never … Continue reading Ivy and Bean
A Library Book for Bear
A Library Book for Bear by Bonny Becker My rating: 3 of 5 stars I must admit, I am still slightly confused as to why Bear felt that a book about pickles was something he needed in his life, but okay. It was a cute story that shows children that there are great things out … Continue reading A Library Book for Bear
The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure
The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure by Doreen Cronin My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read the first book in the J.J. Tully series before reading this, so I did have some background on the characters before I started. I found that this book provides enough background that the reader does not have to … Continue reading The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure
Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw
Wade and the Scorpion's Claw by Tony Abbott My rating: 2 of 5 stars So, this book was kind of difficult to understand because I have not actually read The Copernicus Legacy series. Turns out my library doesn't even have that series, but for some reason, they have The Copernicus Archives. If you can figure … Continue reading Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw
Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz
Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz by Patrick Carman My rating: 4 of 5 stars The world Patrick Carman created for this series is really cute. The illustrations help bring the story to life since Fizzies are not normal everyday creatures. The juxtaposition between good and bad candy companies is great, especially since Floyd seems … Continue reading Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz
The Chocolate Fudge Mystery
The Chocolate Fudge Mystery by David A. Adler My rating: 2 of 5 stars Totally reading this series out of order, but here we go. This is another one of those books that is great for its target audience, but doesn't really work for those older. My main issue with this book is the fact … Continue reading The Chocolate Fudge Mystery
