What Katy Did

 I recently read this book called "What Katy Did". This is a wonder-filled book which names the main character, Katy, who lives in a family of 6 children. Her father is often away, and her mother is dead, so her Aunt Izzie came to take care of the children. Katy is the oldest. Falling from a swing seems to banish her dreams for the future-but the book has a really happy ending.



It has been a long time since I have read a book such beautifully crafted as this. In fact, when I had just finished it, I felt that I needed to read it again that very minute.


Some hints for finding the book:

The book is available in many different covers

The author is Susan Coolidge

Websites and Channels for Kids!

-
Here are some of the places I recommend for kids: Nat Geo Kids This is a wonderful website teaching kids a LOT of things. Also check out it's YouTube channel, which is pretty much same as the website. Wild Explorers The section of the Animal Jam channel "Wild Explorers" is really something to watch. A girl teaches you fun science experiments, cool crafts, and about animals. Sometimes she brings wild animals into her show. Note: There is only a SECTION of the channel for "Wild Explorers". The rest is for Animal Jam. Sorry this post was mainly reviews but I just wanted to recommend these places to you!

Serafina and the Twisted Staff - book review

Hi! Some of you may remember my admittedly raging review about Serafina and the Black Cloak. It was a bit furious, I know. But I picked up the sequel, just to see if the writing would get better. I mean, I reasoned the author must be a newbie. Maybe he would improve in his next book. And Serafina and the Twisted Staff doesn't disappoint. It picks up two straight weeks later after Serafina defeats the Black Cloak, and takes us on another adventure with another object. Serafina and the Twisted Staff is infinitely better than its predecessor. The pacing of the plot is perfect, and I actually began to like Serafina as a character. I mean, she's still a bit special-snowflake-y, and sort of terrible when it comes to making decisions, but she grew as a character. I cared about her, which in the other book I didn't. She had actual development and a journey, and I really loved that. I wish the Twisted Staff had more story, because it's actually in the title. It just seemed to be...

Secrets of a Sun King - book review

Hi! Sorry for throwing out flat posts for so long, I don't have a lot of time on my hands with this pandemic. I read a book today called Secrets of a Sun King by Emma Carroll , and I decided if I have a topic, I should write something worthy of my blog. Secrets of a Sun King  is a good book. Take note of my use of adjectives here. A good book. Good. Let's start with the good things.  The book is gold with imagery. The deserts with sand that shimmers in the sunlight, the grey, wet streets of London, the comforting warmth of Lil's grandfather's house.  I liked the plot twist at the end, even though it was a bit confusing. I had to read the passage over a few times to really understand what was happening. When I was reading this book, I felt as if it had been weaved with echoes from different sources, making it solid. It was all familiar and new at the same time, if that makes sense. But everything has shortcomings, and there are some places where this book needs more time...
