Review: This book was about two kids named Jack and Annie, who find a magic tree house in the woods. They soon find out that it belong to a secret librarian named Morgan Le Fay. The tree house could bring them to different times in history. On this adventure they have to help a great artist go on the path to sharing his talents with the whole world. They bring a magic flute that they can use in their darkest hour, but the flute could only be used once. Annie is my favourite character in this book. When I was reading this book I felt like I was watching a 3D movie. I think this series is my favourite series of books to read. I hope you enjoy them too.

Review: This story is about a princess who also has a secret identity and there is a nosy duchess in her house who is trying to find out about the princess. The best thing I like about the princess is that she fights monsters. This book is pretty funny and it is also a mystery book.

Review: This book is about two friends Claire and Delia who are watching a movie that was shot in an old mansion which people said it was haunted, and the film was never finished because in the movie the real stars got killed by objects in the house. So since Claire’s dad is film director he decided to remake the movie since it was never finished. When they arrive at the mansion they meet one of caretakers there who tells them to leave. So then Claire wonders if those things that happened to the stars was just a coincidence, or was the house really haunted? This book made me scared because I never knew a house could be able to kill people. My favorite character would have to be Claire because shes really curious.

The girl wants to be a knight and the boy wants to be a wizard. Since the boy is going to be a knight, and the girl is going to a place that also teaches boys sorcery, they decide to switch places.

Review: The book was about a man named Gilbert Finch. He jumped off of a train to catch a dog in Allerton and no one could find him. My favourite characters were Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. They are the Boxcar children.

The book was awesome and I think other people should read it because it was exciting to see how the Boxcar Children solved the mystery of where Mr . Finch went to.

The next day it was time for Samantha to go to school and Willow did not like that. After she went Willow stared rubbing on the bark around him to keep him safe. After a few minutes it BROKE! He ran away from his farm and he went where the wild pony were. He even made a friend, his name was Storm. But Samantha was sad because she could not find Willow. A few days later Storm said go back to your farm you do not belong here. So Willow went back to his farm and Samantha was very happy. My favourite character was Willow. It was happy then sad then happy. It takes place in the wild and the farm.
