Dancing to Love by Jessica Hammond


Sweet, Dreamy, Good Read

Dancing to Love is a good read for it to be in the stage it is. I think Jessie Hammond has a great storyline here and has created a story that many readers will be able to connect with once it is to the stage of publishing. The story-line is an attention-keeper with Ana chasing her dream of dancing.

I can’t wait to read this book of Jessie once she has it published. I would be more than happy to read it again and provide a better review.

She took a love story that any young girl can relate you too, through the feeling and emotions of a love that was so true to a love that has gone bad, Marisa has captured it all here.

Cress (Chapter One) Book Three in The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

Cress (Chapter One) Book Three in The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. This is just a review of chapter one.
Right at the start of the story you can tell that hope of the world lies with Cress. Who is young girl trapped and forced to work for Queen Levana. For a first chapter there is a lot going on, but in a way that is easy to understand. You can tell that Cress wants to help, but there’s only so much help a young girl can do when she’s trapped. I love how the writer talks about her long hair and how the writer writes details so well. Even though I only read the first chapter I think this is going to be a great story.

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires comes out April 1, 2014. This is an advance review.
The Most Magnificent Thing follows the story of a little girl who love’s making things and her best friend who is also her assistant, while they go on the hunt to make the most magnificent thing. She works hard, shows many different feeling as she’s on the path of making what she is thinking in her head. Once, it doesn’t work she becomes upset so, her and her assistant goes for a long walk. As the walk goes on the little girl soon realizes what she needs to do to make the most magnificent thing.
I found this book to be cute and a great story that teaches kids never to give up; no, matter what you are feeling. I like how the little girl’s assistant is her dog, it adds comedy to the story. As well as the fact that she gets upset and the kids reading the story can see that but she also find a good way to calm down. Once she does, she tries again. This is a story that many kids will enjoy reading because of the mystery of what the little girl is going to make but they are also learning too.
