Amazon link for The Secret Files of Fairday Morrow

   Fairday had just moved from the big bustling city of Manhattan to a small town of Ashpot, Connecticut. But there are many rumors that surround her new home, the Begonia House. First, Thurston Begonias daughter disappears on her wedding day. Then, Thurston falls form a balcony on the third floor. When weird things start happening in the house, like bagpipe music and mysterious doors appearing in mirrors, Fairday knows that she and her family are not alone. With the help of the DMS(Detective Mystery Squad), Fairday will solve the mystery of what really happened.
   I met the authors of the Fairday Morrow series at the Made in Connecticut Convention. There they told me about the Wizard of Oz theme that the book has. After reading it, the theme really shone through. I would recommend this book to someone that like mysterious or magic scene there is a good mix of both. If you like this book, there is another one in the series, Fairday Morrow and the Talking Library. I like that this book mentioned several other popular books such as FableHaven. 

   The authors also have a middle-grade book blog. The blog is run by Fairday and Lizzy. Heres the link to check them out: Fairday Files Blog. And here is their main website: Fairdayfiles.com

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted.

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
