An amazing read by Heather Dixon!

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. 


This book was nothing like I expected- it was better! Not that I ever doubted it would be a good read, but I didn't on the other hand expect to just absolutely fall in love with this magically sweet, and yet in some moments, a bit terrifying story. Heather Dixon and I grew up in the same neighborhood and although we were never close friends it still was way great to read a book and know the author and see her fantastical personality and amazing talent shine vibrantly throughout each page of this spirited novel. (And, if any of you out there know Heather Dixon you know what I mean!) I loved this book!


A visit to the "Beyond"

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

What a fun and funny book! One of the reasons I absolutely love Brandon Mull as a writer is that he not only is able to weave an incredibly fantastical story, but he also includes characters that I would almost call interactive. I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout this book. And I am a big fan of any book that can make me truly happy and wishing for more at the end. This is a great young adult/young reader novel- like all of Brandon Mull's books. I only wish I could write half as good!
