Princess of the Midnight Ball - Jessica Day George

Princess of the Midnight Ball is intriguing from start to finish. It is a wonderful book and I loved it! It's a very well done retelling of The 12 Dancing Princesses. It has action, adventure, romance,

secrets, and just about everything else you would want in a book!

If you haven't read this, do! It is a fabulous book!

Enna Burning - Shannon Hale

The second in the Books of Bayern series. One of my favorites of Shannon's. I read for 6.5 straight hours! It's amazing how books can just pull you in like that, I felt like I was there! If you loved The Goose Girl, you will defiantly want to read Enna Burning. It is so good.

The Westing Game - Ellen Raskin

The Westing Game is a fascinating mystery. It has funny characters, surprising plot changes, and is a great mystery that kept me wondering until the very end. I loved it! I would recommend it to anyone, but especially those who love a good mystery!

Beauty - Robin McKinley

Beauty is by the wonderful author Robin McKinley. I absolutely loved it. McKinley does a fabulous job retelling Beauty and The Beast.

Beauty's father comes home one night and tells a strange story about an enchanted castle hidden in the woods. He also tells about the promise he made to the Beast who lives there. Beauty decides that she must go to the castle and try to break the promise between her father and the beast.

This is a very sweet, funny, and touching love story that is a "I can't put this book down" book. Read Beauty!
