A Pile of Books in the Last Couple of Months

 The Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend


Overall opinion: It's good. We are enjoying the story of Morrigan. There are lots of adventures. Morrigan is starting to understand how to call wunder. She thought they were blackmailing her group to reveal her secret about her wundersmith power but the secret they were really threatening to reveal is that Lambeth is really a princess from the Republic. 

Bedknob and Broomstick by Mary Norton


Overall opinion: Dumb/not Mom's favorite/It was really stinky.

The first half of the book was fun as the children go on a few adventures and get into a few mishaps with their magical transporting bed.

The second half was weird. They traveled back in time, picked up Emilius and in the end Miss Price and Emilius fall in love.

Dragon Masters: Haunting of the Ghost Dragon by Tracey West



Overall Opinion: Good! We love Dragon Master books with their predictable plot line including the defeat of some evil and the introduction of a new evil leading to the next Dragon Master book.

Magic in the Mountains: The Jewel of the Yeti by T.E. Milburn


Overall Opinion: Good! Noah and Alex had to find the yeti stones that some evil person put on the polar bear and the nomacracker to control them. It also turns out that Malachi might not be the evil man we all thought he was. Magical and fun! Adventurous.
