Sidekicks Usually in superhero stories, the sidekick isn’t all that important. He or she is just there to do the things that the actual hero doesn’t want to do. Take the movie Sky High. In Sky High the children of superheroes (or just children that possess superpowers) are sent to a school especially for them.Read More
A Different Way to Tell a Story
Wonderstruck Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick is different in the fact that it is told in both words and pictures. Amazing pictures at that. Brian Selznick draws all the pictures in the book himself, and the drawings are absolutely fantastic. Now, this book doesn’t come out until September (a perk of being in BBYA), but itRead More
Harry Potter Take Seven
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) Let’s just start with saying that the movie last night was absolutely amazing! Yes, it has its flaws, but I still loved it and thought it was the perfect way to end the series. I did finish all seven books before the movie (woohoo!) and I’d haveRead More
Harry Potter Take Six
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) Today is the day, and there are no words to describe my excitement!! I have finished all the books (thank goodness) but alas, I’m only on book 6 here. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is actually my least favorite Harry Potter book. I just felt likeRead More
Harry Potter Take Five
Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is least liked by a lot of people. It’s long, and Harry kind of complains a lot. I, however, do not agree with the majority. Until the seventh book came out, Order of the Phoenix was my favorite, andRead More
Harry Potter Take Four
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) I’m still way ahead of my posting…I’ll try to get better at that. I am on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I will be writing about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. So much action in this one! And so much thatRead More
Harry Potter Take Three
(left side US cover, right side UK cover. Thought I’d make things more interesting) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban So….I’m kinda behind in updating this considering that I’m really on book 6. But I’m becoming pressed for time, so reading the books has become a priority. Anyway, I finished Harry Potter and theRead More
Harry Potter Take Two
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) So, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Big creepy spiders, a snake-like creature that can kill you with one look, and a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that doesn’t know what he’s doing. These are the types of things that make JK Rowling suchRead More
Harry Potter Take One
By J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Book 1) Thus starts my Harry Potter posts. I started re-reading the series on….Thursday I think it was. I’ve pretty much finished a book a day since then, and am almost done with the third. But I will reserve this post for the first, Harry PotterRead More
Blink & Caution
Blink & Caution I finished this book a while ago, but I’ve just now had the time to sit down and write about it. Such a busy week! Anyway, the book I finished was Blink & Caution by Tim Wynne-Jones. The first thing that kind of threw me off about this book was the factRead More
