4 stars This series is so up and down for me. In general, I like the stories. Some are crazy confusing, but they are always weird and entertaining in a good way. This one was no exception. I started out Chapter 17 and was so excited to see the familiar loveliness of Brooke Allen’s illustrations….

4 stars Adorably fun book for fans of My Little Pony the Movie. Instead of trying to tackle the plot of the entire movie, this book smartly just focuses on what happened with the Mane Six on Captain Celaeno’s ship. Much more manageable. Good amount of detail and focus in this book. I also like…

3 stars A simplified version of Saved by the Shell! (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). This is a Step 2 book recommended for preschool to first grade readers. It includes basic vocab, a simple story, and short sentences.  Overall, it was good. I was a little disappointed that I had already read a book based on the…

3 stars Cute book. I have not seen Smallfoot in its entirety yet, but have a basic knowledge of the plot from seeing bits and pieces of it.  I really liked the illustrations in this book. They are much more cartoon-y than the actual film, but I found them fun and appealing. The book sums…

3 stars Kind of similar to Cleopatra in Space and Zita the Spacegirl, both of which I enjoyed. This one has some truly stunning artwork that I just drooled over. Loved the colors and style. Nice take on the abduction story overall. This one was a little slow at times because it switched who the story was following,…

4 stars This is such a good follow-up series to the Frozen movie. In the first book, Elsa learns how to balance using her powers and utilizing other methods to help the villagers with their problems. In this one, Anna deals with having had her memories of her sister’s magic removed when she was a…

5 stars Uggggg, thanks a lot, Dana Simpson. Now I have another awesome series to obsess over. At this point, I have basically just accepted that the rest of my life will be spent reading amazing female-centric comics. What a hard life. Anyway, in all seriousness, this was a great book. Loved the concept, loved…

5 stars So glad I finally got around to reading Squirrel Girl. It was everything I didn’t know I was missing in my life. I absolutely loved this book. It was punny and amazing with great artwork and hilarious dialogue. So fantastic. Squirrel Girl is the best.  At the bottom of the pages are some…

1 star Well, I did it. I am so insanely proud of myself. I made it through this entire book. This is actually one of the few books that I don’t think I would have regretted not finishing, but I have this irritating need to finish what I start.  This book hands-down wins the award…
