Wish

Wish

By Barbara O'Connor

The dreamy sunset cover, soft and inviting, spoke to me when I was just a fourth grader with my mom's money at the school's book fair. I read it, and of course, loved it. Now, many years later, on summer break, the same book had that air that invited you to read it. And even from a more matured point of view, the book still hit. The main character, Charlie Reese, kicks people and yells and says mean things. Yet, somehow she's still so lovable and you just want to wrap her in a hug. Her family is separated, perhaps being the root of her behavior, and life throws so many curveballs that her life is upside down. But, like a gift from heaven on four legs is Wishbone, an adorable stray to be by her side through it. And, of course, there's the always forgiving Howard. Because kids were so cruel to him that he became the kindest. And between losses, lessons, and endless love, there just is so much good spilling from this book.

The El Dorado Adventure

The El Dorado Adventure

By Lloyd Alexander

Everything was going on pretty good without any chaos until Vesper Holly learns that she actually owns the volcano on the tiny republic/island of El Dorado. Just another adventure awaits for you with Holly as she sails to Central America with her guardian, Brinnie but later finds herself in the danger that nobody would being able to describe. Like someone else wanted to own that property, sabotaging Holly, and others. Really crazy book, too! - Happy Reading!

Peril at End House (Agatha Christie Collection)

Peril at End House (Agatha Christie Collection)

By Agatha Christie

Nick Buckley, a young lady who somehow survived few "accidents" that could potentially take her life as the famous detective, Hercule Poirot to suspect that the certain murderer has the target. But who? Likely to be Nick. One day while vacationing at the Cornish coast, he (Poirot) noticed a bullet hole in the young lady's hat (which is Nick's) and took up the case to investigate in order to try and stop the murderer. While doing it, Poirot also dived in the dark history relating to the young mistress of End House. And while learning her dark history, he then added up all the events that nearly took Nick's life and shocking had happened. This is lowkey really good and I would recommend this book for any mystery/murder lovers! - Happy Reading!

Mary Poppins in the Park

Mary Poppins in the Park

By Pamela L. Travers

Fourth time that we would go on another adventure with the Banks children and their nanny, Mary Poppins as we would go through another day with them. We would see Bert again, yay! We would also see other characters from the previous books. But there's something about this book that I feel like I should tell/warn you guys; this book is little bit overly dramatic than 3 previous books that I've read of Mary Poppins but this one was ok, just not my favorite, and I partly enjoyed this book but that alot. But its still good, though. - Happy Reading!

Mary Poppins Opens the Door

Mary Poppins Opens the Door

By P. L. Travers

Another adventure, but same life as Mary Poppins continue caring for the Banks children. Her strict rules for the children remain unhinged and unchanged but changed subtly so slightly that you would never notice with Michael and Jane both now growing up, getting little bit more older but still have their own mischievous selfs which you would laugh at sometime. We also met few more new characters which adds up to the whole story to Mary Poppins' life while caring the children. Another book that I also enjoyed but could be better with Mary being little bit nicer. Just saying! - Happy Reading!
