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 […]
The Secret Garden is a novel of Mary Mary quite contrary, whose parents die due to cholera and is sent off to live with an uncle. The house is old, dusty and filled with secrets. At first we all learn to hate the little brat. Anywhose, a little bird tells Mary of a secret garden […]
I was so depressed after finishing Prince Caspian, learning that Peter and Susan were too old to return to Narnia, thinking these books would never be the same. Well I was wrong. Edmund and Lucy seem more mature, perhaps because their elder siblings are out of the picture, and their cousin Eustace, pompously adds humor […]
I was so hyped up to read Mockingjay and unfortunately it did not live up to my incredibly high expectations. It was good, just not great. After District 12 is blow up like Princess Leia’s home planet, Alderaan any survivors move to District 13 who has only reemerged after years of hiding. I did not […]
Just when I thought it was kind of safe Katniss’ life goes to hell in a handbasket again. The Hunger Games are supposed to be over, but her troubles are just beginning. Catching Fire does not skip a beat going into action with the despicable President Snow who has revenge on his hands setting his […]
I had no idea what to expect when I first opened The Hunger Games. All I knew was that 12-year-olds attempt to kill each other. As I got further in the same phrase kept popping into my head “this is fucked up!” like “Survivor” on crack, and crack is whack. Right about here I should […]
I first read the Little House books when I was seven and became a main staple on my bookshelf until I was thirteen,reading them (particularly this one) from cover to cover until they had to be thrown away; but I could recite them from heart anyway… In elementary school we practiced in the D.E.A.R.

At the end of The Voice on the Radio Reeve’s lawyer sister Lizzie divulges that Hannah died five years ago. So really, I’d like to know who is receiving these checks. Anyway, why wouldn’t Reeve just tell Janie this and save them all the trouble. I know why, because a) Janie wouldn’t listen and b) […]
The Voice on the Radio could have come off like a rehash of The Face on the Milk Carton, but it didn’t, I was riveted once again. Janie’s story was told in a new refreshing voice as fascinating as it was the first time. Although, I had a hard time getting past what a prick […]
