I ignored people telling me to read this for WAY too long! So don’t make the same mistake I did! Pick this up immediately! In Greg’s Chicago, there is an underground world filled with Dwarfs and Elves! But Greg doesn’t know that. All he knows is that he has one best friend and a dad …
Nemesis left me hanging and so I inhaled Genesis. And this book is so much more intense than I ever imagined it could be. I love this series. Set in our real world, Reichs messes with the reality around us and speculates a way in which the world could survive a horrible disaster. If you haven’t read the …
Christopher Moore is the king of weird. This book started out so normal, following the format of a typical noir. I was concerned that it wasn’t going to be his normal weird but I soon found that to not be the case. Moore plays beautifully with the style and manner of storytelling that comes with …
This book is SO MUCH FUN! Magical children, a wizard competition, lots of references to goats. What more could you ask for? This is a true underdog story as well as a great girl power tale. Magaziner’s writing is hilarious and filled with adventure and whimsy. She has created a fully formed world that I …
Shout-out to Pam Parker for telling me to read this one! This book completely blew me away. The cover blurb made me nervous. Magic and science in one book? That probably isn’t a book I would enjoy. But boy was I wrong. Miller has created a fascinating story placed in the midst of the very …
Half of this book worked for me and the other half just really didn’t. Formatted like my favorite novel, The Princess Bride, the first half of the book is a fictionalized retelling of how the book came to be while the second half is the book itself. I very much enjoyed the sections talking about finding …
Since I read The Changeling last year (and had it immediately become one of my favorite books of all time) and now I find myself buying any book of Victor LaValle’s that comes through the store. (Well, I made my parents buy this one from the bookstore I work at as a Christmas present for me when …
I have had friends telling me to read Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles series for years and just haven’t gotten around to it so I jumped at the chance to listen to the audiobook of her newest book. Renegades questions what it means to be good or bad. In a world where those lines are very defined, …
I absolutely loved The Best Kind of Magic and have been gazing longly at The Sweetest Kind of Fate on my bookshelf for months, saving it for a time when I really needed it. And that time finally came. I absolutely love Amber Sand and the fun world that Cestari has created. When I met her for the launch …
This book is magical and awesome! From the magical changing hotel to traveling by umbrella to a giant butler cat, I loved every part of this book and am so glad that it is finally available to recommend to kids. I have recently discovered (by accident) that I enjoy books with cursed children (I know, …
I was too old (and not cool enough to realize that middle grade books are awesome at any age) to read the How to Train Your Dragon books when they came out but I am glad that I have finally gotten to experience Cressida Cowell’s wonderful writing. The Wizards of Once is both beautifully written and filled with …
I have to admit, this is a book I judged by its cover and I said, “No thank you!” But I had heard such good things about it so when the audiobook was an ALC on Libro.FM, I decided to give it a chance. This book was great. Lu has created a fascinating world that …
