Book Review: The Treacherou..

Molly and Emmett embark on a second adventure in this serious of perilous journeys and this time they hit the high seas! Before they get there, they must first endure a mother trying to be a mother instead of an inventor, and many of their dreams being foiled. To add to the adventure is a new character, Nellie Bly who at first seems more involved in wanting to report rather than help be apart of their adventure.

Book Review and Blog Tour: ..

I always enjoy strong female characters and with a world against them, I love to see how they rise above and become more than they could imagine. A Dastardly Plot is one of those stories.

Since her father passed away, Molly has quit school and sells pickles in order to help her mother have time to invent.

The only problem is, nobody killed her and although they may […]

Book Review: The Hero’..

The first book in this series cracked me up and I could not wait to get my hands on the second to see what our League of Princes had in store next. I was happy to see them all reunited, especially when it involved the Bandit King, a foe who is equally as hilarious as he is deadly and dangerous. And not only do we see the Princes and their flaws, but the Princesses and their strengths as they help them along their quest. I especially loved seeing Liam's little sister Lila grow throughout this book and start to become […]

Book Review: The Hero’..

I love fairy tales and especially am a fan of retellings, so I was very excited to read this book, which looked like it would be a hilarious middle grade novel. I can't say which prince I loved more. They all had some odd qualities that made me laugh at times. None of them were all that normal in the way of princes. I loved how the princesses were at times a bit more on the strong side. The adventurous Cinderella, the evil Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel who saved herself and healed her prince. And as for storytelling, Healy does […]
