I will forever love books with mice as main characters, although I am terrified of mice in real life. Fredle, obvi, is the star of Cynthia Voight’s Young Fredle. Fredle has a nice comfortable life as a house mouse – feeding off kitchen food at night. One day though, he and his cousin get into […]

November 14, 2011
The Lost Hero begins spin-off series ‘The Heroes of Olympus’ and is every bit as awesome and hilarious, with returning characters from the Percy Jackson series.
Waxillium Ladrian: Fully Licensed Bad Ass

The Ring Of Solomon is a prequel to the Bartimaeus trilogy, although it’s […]

November 9, 2011
Holla if you love fairy tale retellings! Alex Flinn seems to be somewhat known throughout YA for this. Friend, I am not as well read as I think I am, because I had never read one of Flinn’s retellings, only her contemporary work, until Cloaked. I’m thinking I’ll need to rectify that and read the reast of her […]
