Leisl & Po by: Lauren Oliver

Which minor character in this book would you like to know more about? If there were a whole book about them, what would it be called?
I would like to know more about the rich Lady Premeire who says she of royal blood and turns out to have been a fisherman's daughter when she was a child. Even if she is portrayed as an evil women from the book it seems she was bullied when she was a child and had a younger brother.

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorfora

If someone liked this book, what other books should they read?


if you liked the magic, you should read the "13" series, or any other magical people books. if you liked the action, then i suggest House of secrets and Battle of the beasts, by Chris Columbus.

Hope by Beth bracken and kay Fraser

If this book were a food/color/song/smell, what would it be and why?


I think the food would be pixie dust, because it goes along with the theme. Whimsy, magic, that kind of stuff. The color would probably be a mix of different colors, with a mountain of glitter. The smell would probably be earthy smell, the smell of magic. The song would be a siren song. There are different types though.


I really want some pixie dust. Tell me what you think is a siren song in the comments.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

Th Goblet of fire written by J.K. Rowling is the 4th book in the Harry Potter series. Although I can easily say it isn't my favorite book or up there it's still a part of the Harry Potter Series. I love Harry Potter and although I don't like this book I do recommend reading the series. If you don't read the book but you do read the series than you won't be able to understand whats going on if you skip the book so I recommend reading it all, even this book.--Liz

The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman

The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman was a fast paced magical mystery book that kept me reading for hours at a time. Throughout the book you follow Elizabeth and her three friends at a library for objects. There are certain collections of objects that people can borrow and Elizabeth and her friends work there. One particular collection is the Grimm Collection were you can find magical objects from the Grimm Brothers fairytales. But when certain objects go missing, Elizabeth, Aaron, Mark, and Anjali decide to investigate. I highly recommend this book!!! I love it!!!

The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman

Science and truth, mysteries and secrets make this book a fantastic read. A dash of magic cannot go unignored. Read this book if you haven't already, and you'll discover why. If you don't like it, well, we have different opinions, and mine is that this book is G-R-E-A-T!
