Magic Tree House: Ghost Town at Sundown by Mary Pope Osborne

4 stars A great continuation of the series. I am so in love with these books. A nice quick read that is very entertaining. I love how different Jack and Annie are, but how well they compliment each other. Annie is so impulsive and intuitive while Jack wants to plan and research before acting. They…

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison

2 stars This book is pretty much what Bridget Jones would have been like in school, although less charismatic in my opinion. It was okay. It was a pretty quick read, but for me it wasn’t entertaining or insightful. It’s a pretty run of the mill tween book filled with fat shaming, jokes about suicide,…

The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy

5 stars I stumbled across my copy of this book while cleaning out my mother’s attic. I used to read it all the time as a child. I was fascinated with the story. I even remember watching the film version of it and dreaming about being a witch. Rereading it, I loved it just as…

Spell Disaster by Leighann Dobbs

3 stars This book was pretty good. I will start by saying that I did not read the first book. I found this as a free ebook, not knowing it was a series, and gave it a shot. After reading it, it was almost like I didn’t have to read the first one, because so…

A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch by Jill Murphy

4 stars I really love this series. This is a great addition to it. Very silly and entertaining. You just can’t help but like Mildred Hubble. This is a pretty quick read filled with lots of adventure. I really enjoy Murphy’s humor. I’m also super pumped that there is a Worst Witch series on Netflix….

Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary

5 stars I loved Beverly Cleary’s books growing up, especially the ones about Ramona. I recently found a few copies of my old books and thought I’d read them now that I’m an adult. I love this one just as much as I did when I was a kid. It is easy to relate to…

Ramona’s World by Beverly Cleary

5 stars I decided to give this book a reread. I loved it growing up and found that even reading it as an adult, I loved it just as much. Before this, I read Ramona the Pest, in which Ramona is in kindergarten, so it was interesting to see how much Ramona has grown up…

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson

3 stars I am really torn about this book. I absolutely loved the descriptions in the first half of the book. Even when there wasn’t much happening, it was wonderful to watch Jess and Leslie’s friendship grow as they made the world of Terabithia together. However, that “terrible tragedy” that the back cover warned you…
