• The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder Review

  Theere have been lots of good buzz and review of the Lunar Chronicles and finally I have started the epic saga of Earth versus the Lunar society and the fairytale-inspired characters who unite to stop it.

• Princess Academy Review

  I am on a roll here with yet another childhood staple (and Newbery Honor winner) I missed when I was young. I’ll admit I skipped it because I thought it was yet another Cinderella adaptation. Those are everywhere! But I was wrong and I’m glad I finally did read this. Hale’s wholly original tale takes…

• Book Highlight: The Tale of Despereaux

  I finally read this Kate DiCamillo classic. I admit I vaguely knew the story since I had the graphic novel adaptation of the movie but we all know movie’s take artistic liberties so I was interested to see what changed and what stayed the same. While I found the narrator addressing the readers a bit…

• Ella Enchanted Review

  I did it! I finally read Ella Enchanted. Now I just have to see the movie like the rest of the world. Anyway, I enjoyed the book. I can see why it is so beloved. As I’ve said before, Levine has a way of adapting the fairytale stories that are so well-known and making them…

• Lisi Harrison Interview

  1. To start off simple, when did you first begin writing? What were some of your big inspirations? I always wanted to write, I think I always had those voices in my head my whole life. When I first read Harriet the Spy when I was younger, I loved the idea of observing people. And…

• Book Highlights: Bayala: Daughters of the Elf King

  This is going to be a short highlight since it’s been awhile since I read this and I don’t have it with me on hand. This book written by Gecko Keck is based on the the Bayala toy line. As one can imagine the toy line with its sparkly fairies and horses caught my eye…
