Kitchen Princess


This is an amazing, descriptive and delicious book. It is a graphic novel about a girl who is set out to find her prince. It even has great recipes in the back. Though it doesn't take long to read the a they are some of the worlds best books. The artist is an spectacular drawer. It is an absolutely fun book but a little confusing at first to read because since it is Japanese and you have to read it left to right. At the very front of the book there is a glossary for Japanesse words that are used in the text. That made it REALLY helpful. I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

Twilight

Twilight is an amazing book about a girl named Bella, who lives with her mom but one day she wants to go to her dad's house for the year. This book is really descriptive when it comes to describing people. For example, "Then a doctor walked around the corner, and my mouth fell open. He was young, he was blonde...and he was handsomer than any movie star I'd seen. He was pale, though, and tired looking, with circles under his eyes. From Charlies description this had to be Edward's father". Though I am only in the early pages of sixty I have seen a lot of that.

This book has a lot of, romance, action, thrills, mysteriousness and even a bit of scariness. So far in this book I have been really enterained because of the intresting trates.

I am really excited because this book is going to be made into a movie in a few months.

Nancy Drew The Ringmasters Seceret

Almost everybody knows about this series, but does everyone know that there is no such person as Carolyn Keene the author, and that there were a bunch of writers who wrote the series all together and decided to call her Carolyn Keene? Well I didn't until a few weeks ago. 

I enjoy reading mysteries and especially Nancy Drew's, because this series is very interesting, exciting and very detailed. If you read them you will notice that Nancy is very polite and calls a lot of people dears. I think that. that is really sweet of her. My favorite character is Nancy because like I said before, she is really sweet to others, she has a wonderful, sense of humor which always makes a book good and she is really brave and tries to help her friends. I also enjoy reading about Hannah Gruen, Nancy's maid. It's so weird to read about her when she is asked to do something, because now in Mill Valley NOBODY has them. 

I have a connection, in this book she learn's to trick ride horses then gets to go to the circus and I ride horses and will once in a while vault. I recommend this book/series to children who like a lot of action and mystery.

The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley

This is my favorite series because it is so exciting to read, and once you start you can't stop. It is all about two orphaned sisters Daphne who is 7 and Sabrina who is 11, and they solve mysteries. My favorite character is Daphne because her sister is sometimes really negative and Daphne is mostly always positive. They live in the world where all the fairytale citizens live, Fairyport Landing. Some of the citizens are Snow White, Goldilocks, Prince Charming and a bunch more. I am not going to tell you any more about this story so you can find out for yourself. 

Some reasons why I like this series are, like I said before, it's very exciting, very unpredictable and complete action. I would recommend this series to people who like a bit of scariness, action and a lot of mystery. I relate to Sabrina the most because sometimes I can get grouchy when things don't go my way. Though I think I can be just like Daphne to. In each book they solve a different mystery.
