Eyes Like the Stars -part 2
Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev As I mentioned yesterday, this book is a bit different for me, and it took me a bit to process what I was reading. Beatrice jumps right out of a theatre scene and I found my head spinning a bit. I enjoyed this book,...

crocodaddy
I haven’t been too impressed with little kids books lately. A lot of the time the pictures don’t match the words, and it’s not catchy enough for my children to enjoy it over and over again. I actually get a bit frustrated becaus...

Let me start out by saying this is one of the most imaginative books I’ve read! I love love LOVE this book! Savvy by Ingrid Law is an extremely well written book and beyond the norm! I rarely rant about a book, but boy this one sure had ever...
