The Poppet and the Lune
Review: The Poppet and the Lune- Madeline Claire Franklin- 2011
Have you ever felt that no matter what happens ,that you are different and don't fit in ? Do you remember the tale of the Patchwork girl ?
The Poppet and the Lune tells the story of Elizabeth , a girl who was created by Giselle , the witch of the village as a result of a tragedy that struck one day during their time of thanksgiving. To help lessen the town's tragic feelings and pain of losing their children - the witch gathered up the remaining body parts to create one girl that the town could share. As the time gets on we see the girl shared between the families but it soon comes to light of course that she is not their child and that their children can never be replaced. Elizabeth, feeling hopeless and lonely heads to the Everwood Forest where she meets a variety of characters including Father Time who shares an uncanny personality resemblance to the doctor that created Frankenstein and Wolf aka Faolin. Wolf becomes Elizabeth's only friend and the two of them travel together until it is revealed that Faolin is to become the Wolf King. What will this mean for Elizabeth and his relationship ? Will Wolf become king of the Pack? Will The Patchwork girl find love and a purpose in her world?
The Poppet and the Lune is a lovely and easy to read story that will be appropiate for Tweens aged 12+ and for those older who love to read Renditions of Fairytales -The Poppet and the Lune by Madeline Claire Franklin is one to add to your TBR Pile.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program.

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
