1 star This book is just bad. For one thing, it has nothing to do with Halloween, despite the slightly punny title. In the book, Branch just lists some scary things (mostly things that tried to eat Poppy or succeeded in eating each other). There is no real story. Branch literally just tells you a…

3 stars A nice story about working together as a team and putting differences aside. I really liked how the majority of the characters in this book are female. It was also cool to see characters from other schools (Mongal, Blackfire, Bleez, Speed Queen, Artemiz). Great illustrations, fast paced storyline. This is a Step 3…

3 stars   A very funny book about a superhero named Wedgieman and a giant bunny. This is a very silly and humorous book in the same vein as Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants/Super Diaper Baby/Dogman. Wedgies and poop jokes galore. It has the same dumb humor as many of Pilkey’s series. Take the villain, whose…

2 stars This was an okay adaptation of My Little Pony: The Movie. I liked the graphic novel format, but adapting a full-length movie into a graphic novel is a difficult task, one that is not undertaken easily. For me, this adaptation just didn’t work. The dialogue was very choppy and the scenes jumped a…

4 stars Awesome continuation of the Cleopatra in Space series. This is the third book in the series and I highly recommend reading the first two before reading this one. A lot happens with this one in terms of the prophesy, time tablets, and overall story arch. There are many references to what happened in…

3 stars A very simplified version of My Little Pony: The Movie, good for young readers. It is a Reading Level 2 with many sight words though some of the sentences are a bit lengthy. The pictures appear to be taken from the actual movie, but do not have the grainy or blurry quality many…

3 stars A cute book that serves as a prequel to The Angry Birds Movie. In this book, Red goes to Prudence (multiple times) to try to find a job. Not sure how relatable it would be to kids, but it’s still entertaining. It is a nice story, a bit lengthy, but overall interesting. I…

3 stars A cute holiday book for fans of the minions. Phil feels bad that he stranded his friends on an island and they are missing Christmas. So he decides to make it up to them by bringing Christmas to them. A cute story. I’m usually not a huge fan of Christmas books (because I’m…

5 stars   This is a gorgeous book! I am always hesitant about buying Harry Potter books outside of the ones J.K.Rowling actually wrote. When I was a kid, I collected everything HP, but as an adult, I’ve become more picky (probably because I have to spend my own money now). There are just too…

2 stars Before reading this book, I didn’t really know anything about Diego. I had never watched the show and just knew that he was Dora’s cousin. This is a very informative guidebook about Diego and the animals he rescues. It goes through what Diego does, the tools he uses, and the people/animals who help…
