Magic Tree House: Dolphins at Daybreak by Mary Pope Osborne

4 stars No matter how many of these books I read, I just can’t get enough. I love this series. A quick, fun read that is educational and entertaining. This book was more suspenseful than some of the other ones I have read and it worked very well. I really liked that Osborne worked respecting…

The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy

5 stars I stumbled across my copy of this book while cleaning out my mother’s attic. I used to read it all the time as a child. I was fascinated with the story. I even remember watching the film version of it and dreaming about being a witch. Rereading it, I loved it just as…

However, that “terrible tragedy” that the back cover warned you…

The ending was a bit predictable, but I…

The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey

5 stars I loved this series growing up. It was probably the series I re-read the most after Harry Potter. Hilariously funny, great story, humorous characters. I just recently saw the movie adaptation and was pleasantly surprised. After much searching, I finally found my old copies of the books in my mom’s attic and thought…
