Ocean's World: An Island Tale of Discovery and Adventure

Review: Ocean's World - Carlos and Alexa Penavega- October 2022


Looking for another adorable picture book to give to someone in your family at Christmas time? Ocean's World written and inspired by their children is a family tale of sibling love from the PenaVega family. Most people will remember Carlos from the band Bigtime Rush and Alexa from movies like Spy Kids and Sleepover. The pair eventually married and now have three children - Ocean, Kingston, and Rio which were the inspiration for this book Ocean's World. The book starts with it being a birthday party and Ocean and Kingston want to get a present for their mum and so they head out to search for her favourite seashell - the sunshine shell which is a rare shell. As the pair head out on their adventure to search for the shell, they will come across several sea characters from turtles to dolphins. Sprinkled throughout the book are also some great random ocean facts. Ocean's World is a great book about sibling and family love as well as a fun marine adventure. This book is set in Hawaii and contains some Hawaiian language. The illustrations created by Kiersten Egan were also wonderful and made the story.
This picture book is perfect for children aged 4-9 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
