THE TEACHER'S LIBRARY

As a new release, I hadn't heard anything about this. I had a credit ready to spend on Audible, and was looking for something new in children's books - and this ended up in my library. I assumed (from the title and a quick skim of the blurb) that this kid would end up...

This novel should have been an automatic 5 star read for me - there were so many elements that sounded incredible to me! Unfortunately, it was not to be... 

Sophie and Josh are twins who find themselves in the middle of a battle between good and evil - Nicholas Flamel,...

I think this is a really important book that kids should be exposed to. Is it perfect? Absolutely not! But the great things about it outweigh the less great things.

There's a short (but rather boring) story that goes along with this one. I'd ordered book 6 in the series by accident through a Scholastic Book Club, and debated whether or not it was worth it to buy the first. I found it for less than $10 so decided to give it a go. I...

I feel like I can't walk into a library or look at a bookshelf without seeing Pig the Pug right in my face! I definitely think its a cute picture book, but I was more interested in reading Aaron Blabey's other series - The Bad Guys. 

I picked up the box set of...
