The Secret World of Arrietty Volume 1

3 stars This is a good comic adaptation of the first half of the film, The Secret World of Arrietty. The book consists of stills taken from the movie with action words/sounds and speech bubbles added. This is a good book to read if you want to really look at the artwork of the movie….

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

1 star I hated this book. I usually really enjoy YA books. I’m not a huge fan of romance stuff, but I enjoyed The Fault in Our Stars and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda so it’s not like I’m completely heartless. I’m not entirely sure what it was exactly that made me hate this book so much. Part…

Wedgieman: A Hero is Born by Charise Mericle Harper

2 stars Not going to sugarcoat it, this book was boring. I read Wedgieman and the Big Bunny Trouble a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. It was humorous and entertaining. This origin story, however, was incredibly dull. Even for a Step 3 book, it seemed really long and unnecessarily wordy. Nothing funny happens besides the children…

The Golden Lion (Cleopatra in Space, Vol. 4) by Mike Maihack

4 stars Another exciting, action-packed book in the Cleopatra in Space series. The journey continues as, piece by piece, Cleo learns more and more about the mysterious prophecy and how she fits into it. I feel like there was less dialogue in this book and more fight scenes, but the story still progressed well and…
