... Dealings with the Fairies and many more - The Princess and the Goblin

Review:My daughter wanted to read this sequel to the Princess and the Goblin and she rated it 3.5 stars. The first half was disappointing because the princess was nowhere to be found! Once it got closer to the end and the princess entered the story, she loved it! She is 9 and was able to read and understand this story independently. Read more

The Eye of Zoltar (The Chronicles of Kazam Book 3)

Book 1 - The Last Dragonslayer - The Chronicles of Kazam

Review:Jasper Fforde has a unique way of looking at things. The mixture of the familiar, and somewhat bland for those of us with knowledge of some of the settings, with the outrageously bizarre is the hallmark of this author. Those who have read any of the nursery crimes or Thursday Next books will not be disappointed Read more

The Sorceress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Book 3)
The Sorceress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Book 3)

Review:Michael Scott does an excellent job with continuing this saga. As in previous books, it is non-stop stress / action as Flamel struggles to keep the twins alive and safe. Sacrifices are made. Additionally, Perenelle finally turns the tables. But there are loses some of which may be difficult to recover. Read more

Septimus Heap, Book Three: Physik
Septimus Heap, Book Three: Physik

Review:Another great addition to this series! I love how every book brings us deeper and deeper into Septimus's apprenticeship and his "magykal" learnings, and Jenna's queenship. At first, I started this story with a little bit of... uncertainty, because it starts with a completely new character, Snorri Snorrelsen, the daughter of a Northern Trader. She may not seem like a main character, however, she actually has a lot of interaction with the other characters throughout the rest of the books.
