Twice Upon a Time: Beauty and the Beast

Imagine if YOUR NAME WAS BEAUTY, people would expect things from you like being beautiful, graceful, elegant and more. But what if your perfect older sister deserves your name instead of YOU!??

Or you're a Prince and you're supposed to be tall, brave, athletic, and loud.
But what if you like to play the bagpipes (BADLY), and you love to study all about the stars, or try to figure out how to MAKE WORMS LIVE FOREVER!!??

When Beauty is forced out into the world to find out who she is, and Prince Riley starts to grow fur, they soon learn that looks can be deceiving.

There are two sides to a fairy-tale.

Hers....and His.

Tom Gates - Top of the Class

Tom Gates. Top of the class. Nearly.
The Author is L. Pichon and the Illustrator is L. Pichon.

Tom Gates says his tips for being top of the class:

Stay awake in lessons (it helps).
Don't draw hilarious pictures of your teachers.
Avoid the class bully to stay out of trouble.
Don't let Mum and Dad write anything in your school planner.
Don't let your grumpy sister, Delia, boss you around. (Technically not a school issue - but still important.)
I'm trying to get voted onto the school council as well - but thanks to the above list it's not exactly going to plan.

Whatever After: Sink or Swim #3

Author and illustrated by Sarah Mlynowski

There goes Abby and Jonah and this time they meet the little mermaid but this version  isn't your typical "Happily Ever After THE END" and does the little mermaid get her voice back in the original version? Also they have a lot of things to do:

• Convince the Little Mermaid to keep her tail
• Plan a Royal wedding
• and simply avoid getting EATEN BY SHARKS!!!!!

IT IS A LOT TO EXPLAIN that's why YOU need to read this book.

In my opinion this book is  fun, sad, cool, and amazing, (and a bit weird and disgusting.)
