5. Maybe a Mermaid by Josephine Cameron

The first book I'm going to talk about today is Maybe a Mermaid. I was so emotionally invested in this story. I loved all the characters. Anothoni and her mom travel to Eagle Waters for the summer. There, Anthoni is determined to find a true blue friend. Soon, rumors of a local mermaid start to surface and her summer becomes full of mystery.

4. Loot by Jude Watson

The next book on this list is Loot. Loot was a gripping mystery full of plot twists. March and his sister are cursed to die on their thirteenth birthday. The only way to break the curse is to steel seven moonstones by the night of the blue moon.

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise

3. The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise is probably the most recently read book on this list. Coyote was adorable and the story was so cute. Coyote has lived on the road since she was a little kid. When she gets word that the park in her old neighborhood is getting torn down, she convinces Rodeo to drive all the way to Washington state to save it. 

The Rose Legacy (The Rose Legacy, #1)

2. The Rose Legacy by Jessica Day George

I loved The Rose Legacy. I wasn't expecting to love it nearly as much as I did. In a kingdom where horses are forbidden, Anthea is surprised when she arrives at her uncles farm- a horse farm. She seems to have a strange connection with the horses. When the ranch faces trouble, she is determined to do whatever she can to save it.

1. The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer

If you know me, it probably came as no surprise that this series is number one on the list. I love these books with every fiber of my being. They are incredible! In the first book (The Wishing Spell), Alex and Conner Bailey receive a storybook for their birthday. After it starts acting up, the twins fall through it and are transported to a world were fairytales are real. The only way to get home is to complete the wishing spell but someone else is also after the ingredients.

I would recommend checking out any of the books mentioned above since they are all amazing and definitely worth reading!

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. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi

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
