bookshelves: kids-books
I really wish Valentino had given the Queen a name it would have added a closeness to the character that I was missing.

I also felt that some of the stories were just too long. But I enjoyed this prequal like story and it was a fun read. I'm not sure I'd ever read it again though. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78701053 to: The Last Synapsid (Hardcover) by Timothy Mason
bookshelves: kids-fantasy
I really wanted to like the book as it started out really strong for myself but it didn't keep the pace. I found the parents to be a little out there and some of the stuff they did like never listening to the kids and such a little out of character.

The two kids didn't seem to gel to me, not because I'm an adult they just rubbed me the wrong way. And the fact that every twist and turn in this book got the plot more and more complicated didn't help.

When they added the time travel element I knew that was it for me just one too many elements that made the book seem a little disjointed to myself. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/26076-december-fantasy-theme-pick-which-theme-would-you-like-to-read-in-dece Cindy voted on the poll: December Fantasy theme pick - Which theme would you like to read in December? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78012885 to: The Outlandish Adventures of Liberty Aimes (Hardcover) by Kelly Easton
bookshelves: kids-books
I was really feeling this until about half way through the book. I didn't buy the whole mother thing because it didn't really make sense. I thought the worm man was completely thrown out there and unneeded.

I did not like the ending at all and felt that it was rushed and just thrown out there so the book would end at around 200 pages. If this book were longer and some of the things taken out it might have been a little better. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78051501 A Land Beyond Ravens (Macsen's Treasure) by Kathleen Cunningham Guler
