Cam Jansen and the Summer Camp Mysteries: A Super Special by David A. Adler My rating: 2 of 5 stars The Cam Jansen books are good for kids that like mystery, they just don't give enough detail for me. I like to try and solve the mystery before everything is uncovered, and this series doesn't … Continue reading Cam Jansen and the Summer Camp Mysteries

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney My rating: 2 of 5 stars I understand why these books have been so popular with kids in elementary school, but I have to admit, the main character really annoyed me. I'm hoping since this is a series that there is some character development along the way, … Continue reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid
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 uses the fun of dragons to explain the proper manners to be used in the library. I like the fact that while the dragon is not ready to go visit the library, he can still enjoy … Continue reading Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library
Inkling
Inkling by Kenneth Oppel My rating: 3 of 5 stars This story shows the dangers of taking the easy way out and how the things you let into your life affect it.

A Little Bit Different
A Little Bit Different by Claire Alexander My rating: 3 of 5 stars I thought this book was really cute. The illustrations made me happy, and made me wish there was more to the story. The message of the book comes across without any words, but I do wish there had been some, just to … Continue reading A Little Bit Different

The characters had more going on than the reader is initially led to believe, and their intentions seem sketchy at best most of the time. Part of me has to wonder why Annabel kept the phone for … Continue reading I Text Dead People
How to Tie a Shoe
How to Tie a Shoe: & Other Big Adventures by Skip Hill My rating: 2 of 5 stars I'm really confused with this book.

Do Not Take Your Dragon to Dinner
Do Not Take Your Dragon to Dinner by Julie Gassman My rating: 2 of 5 stars Like the book Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library, this book teaches kids about manners by explaining why a dragon would not do well in that environment. It's a simple concept, but I feel that putting lessons … Continue reading Do Not Take Your Dragon to Dinner
Return
Return by Aaron Becker My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is the first picture book I've ever seen that is actually part of a trilogy. I kind of wonder how that works. I checked this one out at the library without knowing that there are two previous books, so I'm sure the story line … Continue reading Return
The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
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
