Firstly, the beginning of this book is depressing (after Eustance and Jill awesomely escape the bullies at school). Anyway… it is sad because much time has passed in the land of Narnia and King Caspian is old and pruny. Thus, time is of the essence to bring back his missing son, Prince Rilian. So after […]
I really didn’t see The Secret of Red Gate Farm as much of a mystery, not because there wasn’t something to be solved but because it dealt more with cults. However loosely used, a group of people run around flapping their arms to a tribal dance during the full moon, dressed in white sheets that […]
I really liked this installment of the series because it had a race against time aspect to it not only to find Nancy Smith Drew but also to stop her from marrying a gold digger. This almost felt like an episode of The Dating Game gone wrong; a contestant being yanked off stage. As for […]
Okay, so Nancy finds a diary during a house fire and believes there could be a clue in it to find the arsonist. (hence, the title) while leaving the scene, her car is in an accident and meets Ned Nickerson — Yay! He falls head-over heals in disgusting puppy love and will do anything to […]
While visiting Shadow Ranch, with her friends Bess and George, (surprise surprise) a mystery turns up. The ranch is supposedly haunted by the outlaw Dirk Valentine, who died leaving a hidden treasure to his sweetheart said to be on the property of Shadow Ranch. Not only does Nancy take this case but also a young […]
All of Lexie’s roommates were creepy, Abby appeared to know more than she lets on almost acting like a know-it-all Donna Reed, keeping everything orderly, watching all her ps and qs. Justin, is a squirrelly little thing, jumping at the slightest noise and willing to please. Raphael, really fades into the background, and sometimes I […]
I read this book about a month ago so I’m obviously late in posting a review. I waver between thinking this is good or bad, no matter what the book, (unless you’ve read it a thousand times) it is easy to forget details of said novel; but on the other hand it could be a testament […]
This book started off with great pacing and potential, but it also had its issues. Nina Borg was too much of a goody-too-shoes constantly helping people and questioning what is the right thing? Like a girl scout earning merit badges. This sounds like an awful criticism (oh you’re too nice) but it started to get […]
Book Three We begin with t he Fellowship broken, Sam and Frodo are off to Mordor, Boromir is dead, Merry and Pippen have been taken by Orcs with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli following their trail. In the first half, we flip-flop from the kidnapped hobbits and the three companions. Even though they are under brutal, […]
