I give this book four stars because it makes you wonder why did Ivy’s mother leave her and why did she never come back? This book is about a girl named Ivy who has a reputation from her family’s history. They call it the “Milbourn Legacy”. The legacy states that all the women in the family will die tragic deaths. Ivy has a mother who as soon as Ivy was born abandoned her. For all she and and her grandfather knows she would be most likely dead. Until one day the mother shows up to the house with no money and house with two girls. The mother wants nothing to do with Ivy and lies to her girls saying that Ivy was their Aunt even though the other girls were siblings. Ivy feels betrayed and the mother stills doesn’t care because all she cares about is leaving that house with her first child and the milbourn legacy because she doesn’t want her other girls to follow the same legacy the rest of the milbourn women had to face. Read Wild Swans to know more about the legacy and the hardships Ivy has to face knowing the mother wants nothing to do with her.

I loved this so much. Like how Aesop fables and legends all kind of bunched together and mixed with modern times. ????????????

I think it was really funny that Petey did the instructions for a new machine. And

I love Jack the talking sword so much!

Such a good story line!!

I liked this book because it shows you that everything doesn't have to be perfect. I like this series.

I give this book four stars because it is a great romance book that makes you want to turn the next page. This book is about a girl named Belly. Belly and her brother go to her mother’s friend’s summer house every summer. The friend has two sons. One is named name Jeremiah and the other is named is Conrad. Belly has been crushing on Conrad for a long time but she is unsure whether Conrad likes her back. Will she spend her summer thinking about him or will she make a move and tell him how she really feels. Find out by reading the page turning romance novel, The summer I turned pretty.

I knew everything in it. The book was like rated A in reading. It was really easy to read. Everything on here I already knew about. It has x ray pictures of bones. It has 24 pages. I read it in not even two minutes.

I picked three stars because it had cool photographs of bugs. The peacock butterfly was the coolest butterfly. It has a closeup of a stalk-eyed fly. It was the first time I ever heard of that. I liked the book. And it had photographs of fleas and ticks.

Pretties, the second book in the series (after Uglies), was great because there was always so much happening and I always wanted to keep reading. The main character Tally was a good friend because she never left anyone behind. She was also a very strong and persistent character who fought for what she believed in and never gave up. I am very excited to continue reading this series because it is one of my favorites!
