Firewing by Kenneth Oppel (reviewed May 12, 2006)
5 I loved this book! it is a great book for fantasy/adventure lovers and also for bat lovers! it is about a young bat named Griffin who gets sucked down into a fissure and right into the land of the dead where the evil bat god CAMA ZOTZ reigns. Meanwhile his father, Shade, desperately tries to retrieve his son from the underworld. Griffin, accompanied by Luna a bat who he accidentally killed (you'll get more about that in the story) is searching for something too, the tree, which is the only way out to the upper world, and also for the dead bats the way to paradise. But what they don't know is a hidden enemy from long ago is lurking down in the underworld, an enemy that Shade had never hoped to see again. And let's just say that Shade is not the only one looking for Griffin.

Perloo the Bold by Avi (reviewed Feb 13, 2006)
5 Perloo the bold is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. It is about a lazy montmer (rabbit-like creature with BIG feet, so big you can even go skiing on them!) named Perloo. One night while doing his usual reading Lucabara comes. Who's Lucabara, you ask? Lucabara is my favorite character because she is so adventurous and athletic. She is also Granter Jolaine's First Assistant. Who's Granter Jolaine? So many questions! Granter Jolaine is the leader of the montmers. READ THE BOOK! Follow Perloo as he goes on a crazy adventure full of war, betrayal, and yep, BOLDNESS. This is a great book for fantasy lovers like me. Now go and read the book!
Inkheart by Cornelia Caroline Funke (reviewed Feb 5, 2006)
5 I loved this book! It's about fairies, evil people, and of course a daring little (actually she's older than me but...) girl named Meggie who, hmmm how to describe it, hey! i'm supposed to be thinking this! uhh whose father has the ability to read things out of books. But there is a trick to it. Every time he reads something out of a book something in the real world (dan,dan,dan) disappears! A cruel evil person (Capricorn) wants to use his powers for bad reasons. I'm not telling you! Follow Meggie as she unravels the truth about her own past and saves the world in the process.
