4 stars Another fun Princess in Black adventure. Featuring a whole slew of heroes, a giant problem, and some snowy playdates, this was such an engaging read. As with the other books, the illustrations on lovely. Great level of detail. From fight scenes to creative problem-solving, this was a great read that shows some problems…

3 stars Overall, this was an entertaining start to a series featuring mythical creatures, powerful Elders, and an alchemist that’s a few hundred years old. The writing was decent. I found some of the sections trivial but I stuck around for the adventures and cool connections to mythology/legends and was not disappointed. I didn’t necessarily…

4 stars This is the second book in the Zoey and Sassafras series. The book starts out with a short prologue basically explaining the concept of the series. Because of this, the first book does not necessarily have to be read in order to enjoy this one, however it is helpful in understanding the events…

5 stars This is a beautiful book. Let’s be real, you know what is going to happen just by looking at the title and the cover art. If the subject matter is going to offend your delicate sensibilities, go find something else to read. Don’t get mad because this book is what it is. I…

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…

4 stars A great continuation of the series. I am so in love with these books. A nice quick read that is very entertaining. I love how different Jack and Annie are, but how well they compliment each other. Annie is so impulsive and intuitive while Jack wants to plan and research before acting. They…

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…

5 stars I loved Beverly Cleary’s books growing up, especially the ones about Ramona. I recently found a few copies of my old books and thought I’d read them now that I’m an adult. I love this one just as much as I did when I was a kid. It is easy to relate to…
