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

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
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
The League of Unexceptional Children
The League of Unexceptional Children by Gitty Daneshvari My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to say, I was with the kids for a while on this one, wondering if someone was just messing with them. It seems so weird to say that you want people that are as average as possible. In a … Continue reading The League of Unexceptional Children
Gabby Duran and the Unsittables
Gabby Duran and the Unsittables by Elise Allen My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book puts a new spin on babysitting. Not only is Gabby watching over difficult children, but children from other planets with powers and problems she has never faced before. I do wonder why she has so much freedom at home. … Continue reading Gabby Duran and the Unsittables
The Battle Begins
The Battle Begins by Tony Abbott My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm really glad this book is the first in a series. I feel like it would have been really rushed if the whole story was in one book. So far, the story line is interesting, and I can't wait to see what happens … Continue reading The Battle Begins
How to Train Your Dragon
How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell My rating: 3 of 5 stars After reading this book, I really want to watch the movie again. I know there are a lot of differences between the two, but I can't remember if some great parts of the book are in the movie. If I remember … Continue reading How to Train Your Dragon
