Little Book of Bees: The Fascinating World of Bees, Hives, Honey, and More – Hilary Kearney
★★★★★ With so many species of bees, even scientists can have trouble identifying them...they officially listed its genus and species as "bee cute furry face." The above is just one of twenty thousand species of bees that populate our world - bees live on every continent (except Antartica) and play an extraordinary role in the ecosystem. This little book… Continue reading Little Book of Bees: The Fascinating World of Bees, Hives, Honey, and More – Hilary Kearney

Eat, Laugh, Talk by Lynn Barendsen, Brianne DeRosa, Anne Fishel, Shelly London & Cindil Redick-Ponte
★★★★★ If you know me in real life, then you absolutely know my insistence on family dinners. It was a staple of my childhood - we ate together every dinner. Breakfast and lunch on weekends as well. In fact, the only time we DIDN'T eat at the dining table was on Christmas - where we would have… Continue reading Eat, Laugh, Talk by Lynn Barendsen, Brianne DeRosa, Anne Fishel, Shelly London & Cindil Redick-Ponte
Moon Deeds – Palmer Pickering
★★★ ½ ...magic wasn't something you could buy or learn by studying books and following schematics. Twins, Cassidy and Torr, have always been...different...even if they didn't know it. Earth is at war...and it is quickly losing. Who would have imagined that magic was the one weapon more powerful than the advanced alien technology... There are… Continue reading Moon Deeds – Palmer Pickering

Aunt Severe and the Dragons – Nick Garlick
★★★ ½ Daniel just lost his parents (quite literally lost them - they're explorers and haven't found their way home yet). And because society generally frowns on children living on their own, Daniel is shipped off to Aunt Severe's place. And at first, it is JUST AWFUL...until he finds four dragons living among her garden...but the Gotcha… Continue reading Aunt Severe and the Dragons – Nick Garlick
Sorcerer to the Crown – Zen Cho
★★ It's never a good sign when it takes well over 150 pgs to get the story started....really...truly not. This book dragged. Nothing really worked for me. Nothing. If I could get that time back, I would. I want it back so much. THE PREMISE - aka not a bad start The British elite conquest consist of magicians (called… Continue reading Sorcerer to the Crown – Zen Cho
Forest of Wonders – Linda Sue Park
★★ ½ He held the lantern higher, nerves tingling in anticipation. Raffa Santana is a young apothecary student, training under his father (Mohan) and his mother. Mohan, ever a cautious teacher, seems more intent on limiting Raffa's learningrather than encouraging it. "It's complicated," he said at last. "Perhaps when you're older." Raffa's always had a knack for knowing… Continue reading Forest of Wonders – Linda Sue Park
Fairy Village – Debbie Schramer & Mike Schramer
★★★★ ½ We turned to discover the most astonishing sight we had ever witnessed! It was a tiny person, a man, just a little taller than the mysterious cart. Mike and Debbie Schramer were walking in the woods one day when a flock of birds began behaving strangely. Puzzled, they follow the birds until they find a… Continue reading Fairy Village – Debbie Schramer & Mike Schramer
