MY REVIEW: I loved these books. There is going to be a 5th book soon and I can’t wait to read it. I give them five stars. I have read all of them twice. It’s a steampunk, adventure and action series. My favourite scene is when Richy finds out about his childhood and my favourite character is Franklin because he’s so unpredictable.

MUSE: A CAT’S STORY

AUTHOR: Joanna Franklin Bell 

ABOUT THE BOOK: Muse has dreams about the country side. Oh yeah Muse is not a typical cat she speaks with her mind so muse and her friends: Contempt and Watch, take off to a journey to chase Muses *dreams*.

MY REVIEW: The author was kind enough to send me a review copy of Muse: A Cat’s Story. A perfect book of action, friendship, independence too. My favorite thing about Muse is her mind speaking. Oh and there is loss in the book but Muse learns a lot. If you love touching stories about animals Muse will steal your heart.

MY REVIEW: I loved that Good’s parents were orangutans and that the hobgoblin pretended to be waiting for them and not at all in trouble! HA-HA!! The hobgoblin was my favorite because he wanted to be the brave hero!! If you like fantasy you will love this book just like I did!!

MY REVIEW: Read in between stories to find out a bit about the next new character(s). The book was really cool with all the transporting around the world… no, sorry. The universe. No, universes. I liked the way each universe was not like Earth and each universe was different from the other universes. If you like teleporting books you’ll like this book!

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

TITLE: HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

AUTHOR: J.K. ROWLING

SERIES: HARRY POTTER

 BOOK#: 4

ABOUT THE BOOK: Because Harry is not of age his name should not come out of the goblet of fire… But it did! Now he has to compete in the triwizard tournament! He battles dragons, meets mermaids, and last but not least does a maze which could lead to certain death. Can he make it through it all? Read to find out!

MY REVIEW: I loved the part where Neville yelled ‘I’ve killed Harry Potter!’ Because he gave Harry the gillyweed and couldn’t see Harry in the murky water. In this book Harry meets Voldemort face to face and learns how dangerous the dark lord is. This book is really action packed!
