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…

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….

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…

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…

4 stars I loved the Magic Tree house books growing up. Now as an adult, I am slowly making my way through the series, a bit out of order. I’m not sure if I ever read this one as a kid, but I loved it as an adult. A great adventure story and you finally…

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…

Mildred’s character is very likeable and it is interesting to read about all of the adventures she has and the trouble she finds herself in. Simply language, but a nice adventure story. The ending was a bit predictable, but I…

5 stars Fantastic read. I really enjoyed this book. I was a bit hesitant to read it after I read Inkheart earlier this year. I loved Inkheart, but it took me a while to get into it. This one, however, had me hooked at page one. This is a great adventure tale. In comparison to…

2 stars This is the first book I have read in this series. The antics of Junie B. Jones are reminiscent of Ramona Quimby, but the first person narrator really got on my nerves. Having Junie narrate the story with all of her age-appropriate grammatical errors was very irritating to me. It really took away…

2 stars Found a copy of this book in the Lending Library and decided to check it out for an easy read. The story is simple, the writing is okay, but I really did not like the narration. Junie’s narration really bugged me with her misprounciations and incorrect use of past tense verbs. I understand…
