Hi there. I'm back with some new reccomendations! The first one is: The Key to Rondo, and Wings of Fire: the Dragonet Prophecy. The Key to Rondo is a fresh new fractured fantasy tail by Emily Rodda, involving a music box, a pig named Bertha, and a duck nemed Freda. Here are some similar titles:

  • The Wizards of Once, by Cressida Cowell
  • The Adventures of a Southpole Pig, by Chris Kurtz (I havn't read this one, but I've heard good things about it)
  • Sisters of Glass, by Naomi Cyprus (note the author-- another person wrote a different book of the same title)
And for the book for dragon fans... Wings of Fire (!):

  • Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke (my friend Penelope reccomends this book-- but I myself havn't read it)
  • the How to Train Your Dragon series, by Cressida Cowell (note: books = better than the movies, and audiobooks = 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗)
Thats about it, guys! See ya next time

         So, after a while, I realized that everyone who was ever going to read Harry Potter will, and 90% already have. ALSO, why do I do a summary, I wonder? You could literally find it squillions of places. So, instead, I will have one book, and if you like it, I'll have a list of similar ones, kay?
       
         Esperanza Rising:
It's been a while since I read this book, but pretty much it's a historical ficion about a Spanish girl.
Here are some books like it

  • Vine Basket (by Josanne Lavalley)
  • The War that Saved my Life (by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley)
         Harry Potter:
  • Keeper of the Lost Cities (by Shannon Messenger)
  • Kiki's Delivery Service (by Eiko Kadono)
         Well, thats it for now. Bye, bookworms!

Oh, yeah.

  • Esperanza Rising (by: Pam Muñoz Ryan)
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or the Philosopher's, whatever, by: JK Rowling)
Yes, you knew I would say it, eventually.
         The Girl Who Could Fly is an awesome book, about (duh) a girl, Piper McCloud, to be exact, who can fly in the air. Her mom tries to keep it a secret, but, eventually, it is found out (seriously, I have to point out, what kind of a book would have a girl that could fly, but she kept it under wraps and nobody ever found out?), and she is taken, by the mesmerizing Letitia Hellion to a school-boarding-home-type-thing, and meets other kids with cool powers, like Kimber, who can generate electricity, Smitty, who has X-ray vision, or Violet, who can shrink or grow. But, there is also Conrad. Super-genius and Super-mean, it seems like all Conrad is out for is to be the bad guy. So imagine how surprised Piper is, when Conrad turns out to be her only ally. Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, said: "It's the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X Men. I was smiling the whole time (except the part I cried).... prepare to have your heart warmed"


  • I totally reccomend......... hmm, what good books have I read recently? Whatever, let you know later

         Hello there, everyone. The Princess Academy  is a resplendent book (I had to do a Google search for synonyms of "great" to get that) about a young girl named Miri who lives atop Mount Eskel, a mountain in the fantastical kingdom of Danland with her sister, Marda and her father. She has a quiet life though she would readily trade it for an adventurous one, forbidden to go into the quarry and mine Linder, a precious stone that lays only in Mount Eskel (though why that is she does not know). but then the people of Mount Eskel receive word that the priests in Asland, the capital of Danland, have decided the next heir to the throne will be from Mount Eskel, which was going to become the newest province to Danland. All girls under 17 are sent to a Princess Academy to learn everything a princess needs to know, from Poise and Etiquette to the Art of Conversation. This might sound like a pink, frilly "princess" book, but it is not. follow Miri to see who the next princess of Danland will be. I suggest these books:


  • The Girl Who Could Fly (by: Victoria Forester)

           Luv Ya Bunches by Lauren Myracle is a good book about the perilous troubles and amazing joys of fifth grade :) Petite Katie-Rose really wants to become friends with popular Camilla, Muslim girl Yasaman is desperate for any friend and new girl Violet is, well, the new girl. It is a a great book and is actually in a series of three (or perhaps 4). But that's another story.


  •          I recommend The Princess Academy (by: Shannon Hale) and
  •      Palace of Stone the second book, also by Shannon Hale

         hi there, do ya like my New Look?i do, though the font is a wee bit hard to read. Now Finding Perfect. It is about a girl who has a problem. She is obsessed with things being perfectly perfect (like lining up her collection of glass figurines with a ruler multiple times each day) and counts by the number four whenever she is stressed. It a kinda... deep book that makes you think about things and it super, super good.
         Turnabout by Margret Peterson Haddix is also good. Its about two sixteen-year-olds or should I say 185 year-olds? they un-age, and its super interesting but I REALLY have to go and I said I wold do two posts today so here is the next read:


  • Luv Ya Bunches (by: Lauren Myracle)
