Island of Dragons

Island of Dragons by Lisa McMann My rating: 2 of 5 stars I feel like the very first thing I should do in this review is explain my rating. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Unwanteds series, it's just the way this one ended. I know there is a second series based on … Continue reading Island of Dragons →

Minion

Minion by John David Anderson My rating: 3 of 5 stars When I first picked up this book, I thought it was going to be a continuation of the first book in the series. Instead, it is like the flip side of a coin. Where the first book focuses on the sidekicks of the heroes, … Continue reading Minion →

Keeper of Soles

Keeper of Soles by Teresa Bateman My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book involves a play on words that helps with the humor. Where it is a children's book, I'm not sure if they would really understand the difference between soles and souls, but I'm not sure it really matters. With the illustrations, the … Continue reading Keeper of Soles →

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm not going to lie, I read this book only after watching the Netflix movie. I'm not sure I would have read it otherwise just based off of the title. I normally don't go for any type of romance … Continue reading To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before →

Nice Try, Jane Sinner

Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke My rating: 3 of 5 stars After reading this book I really want to know, is this something that could actually happen in Canada? I feel like in the United States, there would have been a lot of red tape to go through in order for a college … Continue reading Nice Try, Jane Sinner →

The Crims

The Crims by Kate Davies My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was an adorable semi-ridiculous read. I mean that in the best way. The characters remind me of the minions in Despicable Me that try so hard to be evil and just don't quite make it. It really makes the characters endearing and ones … Continue reading The Crims →

The Homework Machine

The Homework Machine by Dan Gutman My rating: 2 of 5 stars This story is one that I think most kids can relate to. Let's be honest, who didn't want a machine to do their homework when they were in school. I want a machine to do my work now. That's the ultimate dream right? … Continue reading The Homework Machine →

Whatshisface

Whatshisface by Gordon Korman My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Shakespeare, so part of this books plot really spoke to me. Not that I'm saying Shakespeare was a fraud or anything like that, but it was fun to read something that did not hold him … Continue reading Whatshisface →
