Looking for a book for your Tween to read ? Do they love spygirl stories and tales of boardin school woes ? Did they love the movie Wild Child starring Emma Roberts ?
Review: By the seat of her Pants -Book #2 Betsy Butters Series - Jenifer Rubloff- August 2012
When I was younger, I used to love tales of boarding school books. One of the ones I read was about these girls who went to a boarding school in Switzerland and stayed at a Chalet. From then , I was hooked and I spent all my pocket money buying the old Annuals as they had comic strips about similar tales and then as I got older and recently I have loved books like A Touch of Frost series by Jennifer Estep and Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins.
That's why when I was asked to review this book, I thought hmmm I love stories like this and I was right. In Book #2 , we learn that Betsy is an orphan and a girl of whom trouble tends to follow as in Book #1 we learn she was kidnapped in a human trafficking ring and her teacher had a stolen Van Gogh painting in which Betsy retrieved and swapped it with an Fake.  In Book #2 Betsy is off to France with her friend Marie, to spend Christmas Vacation with them. For Betsy , this is a dream come true and as I was reading the book - I too am planning to go to Paris in a few years and I was marvelling at the different sights in the book.  Of course, what's a little vacation without a holiday romance as Betsy meets Alex - who happens to be a Detective's son. When vacation ends , the girls start school in the Swiss Alps and Betsy ends up in an accident. Is someone out to get her ? Do they know about the switched paintings ? Read as Betsy and her friends put together their detective skills to find out whose after Betsy and what they know.
By the Seats of Her Pants is a fun book for girls between 10-13yrs and a read that if they love stories like Nancy Drew,EJ-12 and Jane Blonde they will thoroughly enjoy the adventures of Betsy Butters.

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. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. 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...
