Nine Days by H.R. Willaston

Nine Days by H.R. Willaston

An inspiring tale of a young girl…

Nine Days is all Andy has to enjoy the best spring break she can. Andy has always loved the water and has always dreamed of working with marine life. She gets the chance to do just that and learned more about herself than she ever knew.

H.R. has shown what great authors do in a manner that forever touches my heart. She wrote about feelings that Andy felt that I felt too as a young girl and how hard it is to be accepted for who we are by the ones we love the most.

H.R. Willaston’s tale of Andy’s dreams is one that I would highly recommend any young reader to read.

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires, published April 1, 2014.
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.

Book Review: Baby Girl Book 2: Moonlighting in Paris

Past versus Future...which will win??


A story that could pass off as a movie scene, Elle Klass as written one amazing adventure in part 2 of the Baby Girl Series; with Justine getting a whole new start in life, she adventures off into a whole new world of love, danger, and in hopes of finding her past.

Elle Klass is an amazing author that knows how to build a storyline that captures her audience and keeps them on the edge of their seat.

I could not put this book down; I had to finish seeing what happens to the new Justine. I highly recommend this story to any reader that likes a story that is full of tense suspense and keeps the reader wanting to know what the next twist is.

WAITING IMPATIENTLY FOR BABY GIRL 3!!!

Like Moonlight at Low Tide By Nicole Quigley

Like Moonlight at Low Tide By Nicole Quigley was published September 23rd 2012. Its 247 pages.

Returns to her hometown of Anna Maria Island, Florida, Melissa Keiser knows that its wont be easy. She has mixed feelings on being back home. Part of her is happy, she has her old best friend, who's happens to be now dating one of the islands cutest guys. But so of she's happy to be back on the island. Living the island lifestyles. But Melissa is not looking forward to her old classmate, the old name calling, the way her life was. But she still can to seem to get passed or over the loved one she lost to suicide.

The characters are more then just people Nicole thought of. They all have more to them, they have layers, just like most people. I love the fact that she's relatabled but then the next she's not relatable one bit. Melissa would have to been one of my favorite characters in this story, not because she's a lead. But because of what she goes through. I enjoyed the way that the island has its own 'style'; this little bit od detail make the story better in its own way. Melissa also has problems with her family. I think that's a part that may will be able to relate to even if there family problems are different. There are may other characters I would love to talk about but I don't want to give to much away. But I do want to say that Nicole's writing style, to me, has a classic feel to it. Her style reminds me of books I use to read. I'm a hung si-fi, fantasy, kinds of story but I also love a good teen fiction book any day. This was a short story, so I took my time and read it slowly, but I could be more happier that I took time to read the amazing story.

Legends of Oz by Denton J. Tipton and Blair Shedd


   Legends of Oz by Denton J. Tipton and Blair Shedd. Was published on March 18, 2014.  Based on the animated film Legends of Oz! This child’s comics are for all ages. The story follows the characters after Dorothy leaves. The characters didn’t know that trouble was on its way and they would need Dorothy back to help save the day. As the classic characters the Lion, the Tinman and the Scarecrow goes on the hunt to bring Dorothy back. As the wicked witch of the west’s brother, Jester has come and he’s nothing but trouble. The flying monkey and Jester is causing trouble all over as the book takes you to on a journey. Since this is a comic/ graphic book a main part of the story is told just by the illustrations which are a huge part to understanding the story. The illustrations are perfect in this story; brightly colored, emotions in the characters, and has a way how showing what is happing in a way that is wonderful and easy to understand,
     I enjoyed this story more then I thought I was. I found giggles here and there as I read it to my brother. I loved the illustrations and how the characters just popped right out. The story line was good; it has adventure but was also quite funny. Any Oz fan of any age will enjoy this new take on an amazing classic.

Struggles of the Women Folk by TM Brown

Life struggles sometimes come out to be the greatest gifts

Struggles of the Women Folk is a tender-hearted story of a young black girl that takes you on a journey of hardship, heart-break and love. TM Brown writes a story here that any women from any social background can relate to the hardships, heart-break and love that Georgie experiences.

I loved this read, it was written simple, but endured so many journeys into one piece of literature about the life of Georgie and how each struggle had its own way of turning out be the biggest gifts that Georgie receives. I would high recommend this story to all women folk that enjoy a good simple read but one that endures what life hands us sometimes.

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.
