I loved how Adam Gidwitz adds his own sarcastic comments and he researched how the real fairy tales were and how twisted the real tales are.

This brought me absolute joy. And the ending was amazing where Anansi actually escaped the phone and became Tristan’s teacher is so good!!!

…when Jason died..it was such a big shock..

I have already read this book but reread for school. I do not regret rereading it! It was very good.

I loved this book. Raina Telgemeir is a favorite author of mine. I liked how everyone had different opinions and feelings about things, and they all bounced off each other. I liked how they have different talents and different ideas, but they all come together to make good imaginative ideas.

I give this book five stars because it leaves you on the edge of your seat and shows the true meaning of love. This book is about a girl named Eve who survived the plague. Her mother died when she was five and she was taken to an all girls school where they were taught to fear boys because they were dangerous and manipulative. The day before she graduated she saw what they did to girls after they graduated so she decided to escape the school. On her way to Calfia she came across a girl named Arden who was also from her school who escaped. While they were trying to get to Calfia they came across a boy who actually was nice. Eve started to fall madly in love with him. Along the way she came across many of the kings guards who tried to bring her to the king. Little did she know that she was the chosen one and was to be brought to the city of sand at once to be the kings mistress and to repopulate with him. Even though she was running away from everyone she loved with Arden and the boy who is named Caleb, her feelings of love had grown stronger ever since she had met Caleb. Should she stick to her principles and not trust boys or let her feelings get the best of her just this once. Read Eve to find out more this gripping dystopian romance novel.

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.

This book was very good. I did not want to put it down.

Nice

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.
