Review: Children who Dance in the Rain - Susan Justice - May 2023


This was such a cute picture book as we meet Sophie who takes everything in her life for granted and gets bored easily. Her family is busy planning a trip to India and Sophie can't wait to visit the magical land of colours that she has created in her head. However, when Sophie arrives with her family, it isn't what she thought and she is disgusted at the mud houses and the overcrowded villages. That is until she meets a group of orphans who live in the dump and as she watches them enjoying life with near to nothing, she soon realizes how lucky she is in her life and that she has a lot to be grateful for and should never take simple things like food, vitamins, school and a roof over her head for granted as if someone who has very little can be excited and happy with their life, then what does she have to complain about?  Children Who Dance in the Rain was also a beautifully illustrated book thanks to Lena Bardy who captured the bright colours of India and the scenery/environment on the pages of the book.This book is the perfect read for children aged 4-8 years old.

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
