The comradery between Elena, Yvette, and Sidra is that special kind of relationship that can only be formed between people who faced immense obstacles danger together and lived. Smith certainly found a rhythm for these characters that felt lived in but not boring. Out of the three in the series, this was my second favorite and a definite improvement on the second novel. They must join forces one more time to stop Jamra dastardly plans. The three women soon discover that Jamra has other plans besides just revenge, plans to tip the balance of the world toward chaos.

That's your personal choice, however other people need to have accurate information in order to make their own decisions.įor me, I would definitely let my child read these books, and I have multiple reasons why. Please don't unfairly rate books just because you personally don't want your kids reading them. There are multiple people on this website saying that these books have drinking, drugs, and smoking, but really they don't. While the books do contain gore and violence, it is no worse than your average horror movie, and there are no pictures of violence in the books. I'm now 18, and these books remain one of my all-time favorite series. I remember I used to beg my mom to take me to the bookstore to buy the next book every time I finished one. My English class read the first book and I loved it so much I went and read the other 11. The first time I read these books was when I was 12.

Had to get a few things organized.” She starts rummaging through her handbag. “Hey, welcome to SupaCon! How was your flight?” “These are the friends I told you about: Taylor and Jamie. “Oh, hi!” Charlie lights up with excitement and hugs her. “Charlie!” A woman with curly blond hair is speed-walking toward us, waving and smiling. “For years,” I say as we get closer, “we’ve stalked the SupaCon posts of strangers on the other side of the world. A little girl dressed as Captain Malcolm Reynolds runs toward a group of Marty McFly cosplayers and asks for a closer look at their hoverboards. We pass Batman posing for a photo with Groot, Jessica Jones walking hand in hand with Michonne, and Goku lining up behind Darth Vader to buy coffee. We take the final steps toward the building. When we say it, it’s a whisper, like the name itself is to be cherished: “SupaCon.” “Are we truly worthy of so much awesome?” I ask.Ĭharlie takes a brave step forward.

She meets a talking cat, falls into an enchanted diary, and unlocks a hidden witch world. And, surprise: Moth’s family is at the center of it all! When Moth’s new powers show up, things get totally out-of-control. It turns out that Founder’s Bluff, Massachusetts, has a centuries-old history of witch drama. When some eighth-grade bullies try to ruin her Halloween, something really strange happens. But she’s about to discover that witches aren’t just the stuff of movies, books, and spooky stories. Thirteen-year-old Moth Hush loves all things witchy. Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Roller Girl in this hilarious, one-of-a-kind graphic novel about a half-witch who has just discovered the truth about herself, her family, and her town and is doing her best to survive middle school now that she knows everything! My son, on the other hand, said he learned so many new things with this book. I kept thinking of the Titanic exhibition I had seen in Las Vegas in May, where some of the passengers’ stories were displayed along with some of their still intact belongings recovered from the wreckage. At times, during the reading, I choked up and had to control my own emotions. The author deftly drew us into the story, depicting the sinking and how George, the main character, was touched as he struggled to survive and then watched as others did not. My daughter, who is sensitive, liked the story but was so saddened by the tragedy of the Titanic that she couldn’t sleep afterwards. I had two different reactions from my children by the end of the book. Suspenseful, well written, and filled with interesting characters, my kids didn’t want me to stop reading the second night so that it was 10 pm when we finally turned the last page. I finished reading this book in two sittings with my 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son. His public and private writings demonstrate the perceptive intelligence, confident advocacy, driving ambition, and profound concern for honor and reputation that contributed both to his rise to fame and to his tragic early death.Arranged chronologically, Writings contains more than 170 letters, speeches, essays, reports, and memoranda written between 17. As a military aide to George Washington, forceful critic of the Articles of Confederation, persuasive proponent of ratification of the Constitution, first Secretary of the Treasury, and leader of the Federalist party, Hamilton devoted himself to the creation of a militarily and economically powerful American nation guided by a strong republican government. One of the most vivid, influential, and controversial figures of the American founding, Alexander Hamilton was an unusually prolific and vigorous writer. It didn’t have the usual spark and tensioned meeting of H/H with a little more story line. But with this story, the beginning dragged out. With typical ARR fashion there’s always a conflict or crisis storyline and we get a little more detail with it. I love this series but this one didn’t stand up to the challenge. I couldn’t wait for this book to come out but I could’ve waited longer for a well thought out storyline. There’s a game being played, and neither May nor Aiden understand the rules. Now, all he has to do is convince her he’s not playing a game-while juggling his father’s construction company, blocking the flow of women his mother keeps sending his way, and avoiding getting run over and shot at by whoever is out to get him. Then he meets May, a woman he can’t seem to get enough of. With his soccer career over after an injury, Aiden is sure his shot at happiness is lost. The famous ex-soccer player whose photo was used to bait her on the dating app is the last person she expects to come face-to-face with in real life. After that horrible experience, she changes her number and deletes the app…only to have fate shove Aiden Bender right into her path. After being stood up for a date, she finds out that the man she’d been talking to for weeks was lying about who he is. When May Mayson signed up with a popular dating app, she never thought she would get catfished. |
