Heidi by Johanna Spyri

My friend Lauren let me borrow this great book.

 It's about a orphan girl named Heidi who lives with her Grandfather in the mountains. But then one day Heidi's Aunt Detie comes to take Heidi to live in a mansion with a very rich family away in the city. Heidi becomes friends with Clara, a girl in a wheel chair. She is happy playing and reading with Clara, but she also misses her Grandfather, the mountains, her friend Peter, and Peter's Grannie and mother. Heidi is very homesick, and starts sleepwalking and crying herself to sleep at night. The doctor realizes this, and says that Heidi must go back to Grandfather in the mountains for her health.

Heidi is overjoyed to go home. But she misses Clara too, and Clara misses Heidi. So Clara's father decides to let Clara go to the mountains to visit. The fresh air, fresh goat milk, nature, and beauty of the mountains make Clara healthier. She even learns to walk! Yes, this is a great book that you should definitely read!!!

Drama

                                                  DRAMA book review

Callie Marin and her best friend Liz are on the stage crew at Eucalyptus Middle School. Callie's the set designer. But things start getting kind of hectic, when Callie meets two cute twin brothers, her crush's X-girlfriend won't leave her alone, the other stage crew members aren't getting along too well, and the faux cannon that Callie's working on isn't cooperating. As if that isn't enough, she and the stage crew can't sell any tickets for the play! 

And I really like the drawings!
Note to anyone reading this review: READ THIS BOOK! IT'S GREAT!!

Judy Moody book review

         Judy Moody, M.D. The Doctor is in!

I love this book.  I love all the Judy Moody books, but this one is my favorite! (Besides Judy Moody and The Bad Luck Charm) 

In this book Judy is learning about bones at school, and she even gets to go on a field trip to the hospital emergency room! From trying to clone a guinea pig to trying to operate on a toad to operating on a zucchini to getting sick, Judy has a lot of adventures in this great read!  

This a Disney Adventures Magazine book award winner! No lie. The book even includes funny doctor jokes, an Elizabeth Blackwell first women doctor time line, and ideas to help kids in the hospital in the back.

P.S. Today I bought myself a locket that opens up. Like it? =)

Harry Potter book review

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I just got this book on my Kindle, and I think it is the best book in the world! It is about this boy named Harry Potter, and he is a wizard, although he does not know it until the good giant Hagrid tells him.

When Harry gets his letter from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry saying he has been accepted, he gets on the train to go. When he gets there he learns about this evil wizard Voldemort, and that when Harry was a baby Voldemort tried to kill him, but for some reason he couldn't. Harry still has the scar on his forehead from when Voldemort tried to kill him. 

Then Harry secretly finds out about a special Sorcerer's stone in Hogwarts that a three-headed dog is protecting. He thinks that this mean teacher Professor Snape is trying to get the Sorcerer's Stone, but he's up for a big surprise. THEN he learns that Voldemort is also trying to get the Sorcerer's stone to try to kill Harry again, and Harry knows he must get the Sorcerer's stone before him. 

To find out how Harry does it, and to read an awesome book, buy or borrow Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone!

The Fairy Chronicles book review

Spiderwort and the Princess of Haiku book review by Zoe Bee: 

Spiderwort is a child and a fairy. When she is not helping out in a fairy quest or at a fairy circle, her name is Jensen Fortini. When in fairy form, Spiderwort's dress is of long, dark green, pointed leaves that come just above her knees. Brilliant blue flowers with spindly yellow centers are scattered over the bodice and skirt of the dress. She wears a headband made of tiny spiderwort flowers that pull back her wavy strawberry blond hair. Her wand is a red cardinal feather and her fairy gift is cleverness and the ability to come up with good ideas.

One day, her mentor, Madam Chameleon, announces that there is to be a very important fairy circle to go to that night, and so Spiderwort, and all the other fairies set off to the place were the fairy circle is to be held.

When they get there, they find out that the Princess of Haiku is being held prisoner by four, ugly and mean trolls and they must save the Princess or the spirit of Haiku will be lost forever, not to mention that children, adults, and even animals will start to forget the pleasure of hearing a birdsong, or caring to notice the snow falling.

So, Spiderwort, Rosemary, Periwinkle, Cinnabar, and Madam Chameleon set off to find and free the Princess of Haiku, but many tough obstacles are ahead of them. Will Spiderwort find a way to save the day? Or will the magic of Haiku be lost forever? Read the book to find out!!
