Animorphs: The Alien

By K.A Applegate
In this book an alien crash lands on earth. Some humans find him and teach him about people. It is funny in this book because he went to the theater and he called candy gibbules. The alien's name is Ax and his friends are Tobias, Jake, Marco, Cassie and Rachel. I could not put it down.

Seth and Kendra go their grandparents house and discover that it is a magical creature sanctuary. These books are so fun. They also have study guides at the end that talk about decisions the characters made in the book. We love these books.

Brandon Mull also wrote Candyshop Wars and The Beyonders.

Princess of the Midnight Ball


written by Jessica Day George
review written by mom
This book is a rewrite of the fairy tale The 12 Dancing Princesses. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even though it was a story I had heard before I enjoyed the way I connected with the character especially the hero of the book.

Jessica studied at BYU and has written several other books including Dragon Slippers and Tuesdays at the Castle. I have read these as well.
