I absolutely loved the book, especially the plot. George (her real name is Georgina, but she doesn't much like that name), goes to live with her Aunt Henrietta (Also known as Chicken, by her Uncle Constantine), and Uncle Constantine, when her parents go on a hunt to find her brother. On the first night that she's there, her Uncle Constantine tells her a story of a meteor shower that lasts for seven days, and the first time this happened, the seven smartest, wisest, and kindest people were put into a group known as the Council. Their job was to restore order between the worlds, to prevent more stars from falling, and the worlds from ending. There was the Judge, Timekeeper, Innocent, Engineer, Guide, Recorder, and Unlikely. The Council has since broken apart, but must be restored before the seventh night of the upcoming meteor shower, otherwise the worlds will drown under the weight of the stars. George, with her friends, Mikal and Caleb, along with a talking map, Cavendish, must restore order and retrieve George's kidnapped aunt, and her missing uncle, before it is too late. Will they be able to do it? Or will it prove to be too hard a burden for their strong, but small team? Read the book to find out!

First off, I'd like to say that I recommend this book to everybody, even adults. The stories of these artists in this book are quite interesting, especially facts about their childhood. This book is one of the books that you can just pick up and open to any of the chapters and just start reading, and it actually makes sense, because you don't need any of the details from before that chapter. This book is good for younger kids as well, because there are many hand-drawn pictures (some of which I found to be very funny! :). I would definitely recommend this book to anybody that like biographies, history, and anybody interested in art. Definitely 5/5 stars.

This was a great movie! I watched it the day it came out! In this movie, Alice Kingsleigh returns to Wonderland, through a looking glass, or a mirror, if you will. But there's a problem, and things are not normal. The Mad Hatter has found a paper hat that symbolizes to him, at least, that his family is still alive and well. He then tasks Alice to find his family, and reunite them with the Mad Hatter. However, the only way for Alice to do that, is to go to Time's castle, and steal the Chronosphere--a magical sphere-like object that will allow Alice to go back in time. However, a lot of things go wrong. She first goes back in time, and she sees the Hatter's father placing the crown on the Queen of Hearts--Iracebeth's head. After it breaks, Iracebeth is seen fuming about her broken crown. Mirana, Iracebeth's sister, is then chosen as the heir to the throne. After everybody leaves, Alice hears that everything began when Mirana, the White Queen, lied about stealing tarts when she and Iracebeth were both kids. Alice must then return to that period of time to try to change the past. Will Alice be able to do it? Or will she face something much worse? Or will she break time by letting her past self see her future self? Watch this cliff-hanging movie to find out!

This was a fairly good book, but I am not too into American Girl books. Lea wants to explore the world, and thinks she'll have a lot of fun! She starts off with a trip to Brazil, where her brother is studying the rainforest. She goes to several different places and then goes to the beach, but soon, she realizes that she might not have the courage to embrace the water and dive in! Will she be able to do it? And will her fun turn out to be a dangerous journey that she'll need to learn to embrace? Read this classic American Girl book today!

This was a pretty good read for me, but then again, I do like Roald Dahl books. Sophie's just an ordinary girl in an ordinary orphanage. But, she can't go to sleep. She lies awake, and suddenly sees something pretty strange out the window--a giant man carrying a suitcase that looks like a trumpet. Sophie tries to hide from this monster, but is unable to, and he picks her up and runs with her until they reach a large cave. That's when everything begins. Sophie is told that she cannot leave the cave, because the BFG's existence must remain unknown. Plus, if she leaves, other monsters might eat her up. The BFG is a kind giant that collects children's dreams and destroys the bad ones, giving the good ones to the children. Later on, Sophie and the BFG vow to take out all the monsters that eat all the young children that they see. Will this be possible? Read this classic to find out!

I love the Nick and Tesla series, because they always include something that you can do yourself. This book is full of fun science and action! In this story, Nick and Tesla, two 11-year old siblings, are given over to their Uncle Newt, when their parents suddenly vanish. Uncle Newt is an inventor, and invents tons of different tools and gadgets (top-secret of course!!). Soon, Nick and Tesla started to make inventions of their own, and of course, the book also comes with step-by-step instructions on how to build different gadgets as well! For me, this book is one of the most fun ways to learn science!
