The Red Shoes is about a girl named Karen who loves to dance. After her mother dies she goes to live with her aunt, who buys her a pair of beautiful red ballet shoes. But once Karen puts on the shoes she can't stop dancing. So her aunt locks the shoes away. But when her aunt gets sick Karen puts the shoes on and can't get them off. The only way she can get them off is to cut off her feet. The other two stories, the Glass Case and the Little Match Girl are not nearly as long, and I enjoyed those more. I think that the publisher of this book was trying to make it so the stories wouldn't be horrific, and they would be more mellow so they would be appropriate for younger audiences. I give this book 2 stars because I like the original stories, I just don't like how they were portrayed in this graphic novel.

I really loved this book.I loved Nancy Drew so this was my next big hit.Hannah's Mom ends up getting laid off from her job.Hannah and her mum moves and a valuable piece of art gets stolen so Hannah starts investigating!

Scarlett: A Star on the Run was about a talking movie-star cat and her equally talking doggy friend Trotter. Scarlett and Trotter despise their lives as actors, and their abusive owner. So one night when a window is left open Scarlett and later Trotter seize the opportunity to escape. The pair are taken in by a grouchy old man named Frank, and live with him in his broken-down old cabin. Then one day Frank is taken away in an ambulance-and who knows what has happened to them. Will Scarlett and Trotter be able to evade their pursuers or will they be captured again? This book was an interesting format I have never seen before. It started out as a graphic novel, but then it also alternated as a elementary chapter book with pictures. I recommend this book to elementary aged kids. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

If your looking for something out of the ordinary (or maybe your mother didn't pack you a lunch) check out this hilarious graphic novel. Grunhilda, a witch out of work (people just don't believe in magic like they used to), takes a job as a lunch lady. Everything is going fine until Madison discovers her secret and threatens to expose her. Beautiful black humor and plenty of awkwardness to go around. If you want a good story, you won't go hungry.

While this book is below my grade level - way below - I actually found it to be amusing to an extent. This story is told through the perspective of Blizz Richards, a yeti who hangs around other creatures to study them. All of them have one thing in common : they can't be seen by humans. So when Blizz's cousin disappears, ashamed after being captured on camera by one of the world's most motivated cryptids researcher, Blizz makes it his mission to find his cousin during the family reunion. He does, and things only take a more interesting turn from there. Spoiler: the picture does not make it into the hands of the 'researcher' I think that as a book for younger children, Sherry's story is a good one. Definitely something I would give to a younger sibling as a gift. However, through the eyes of a more experienced reader, the plot is a little too simple, or coincidental. In all, I would rate this with 4 stars.

this is such a great book. it is the second book in the "flower power" series(cheesy name, i know) and is about 4 5th grade girls with flower names. Katie-Rose is confused about why nobody else thinks boys r disgusting., while Camilla still has a crush on the geeky max. Yasaman doesn't feel ready for a boyfriend, but she is match-making their two beloved teachers...Mr. Emerson and Ms. Perez. Yazwants to get the two teachers together at the Lock-In, and she pulls in the other girls to help too. but when Ms. Perez doesn't plan on coming and Violet pulls out too, the Lock-In seems like it will be terrible. but these girls find a way to untangle themselves of this problem...

I like this book because it is a first person, and Abby is really funny like a nice clown. She is not ordinary but she is really nice. She flunked english and she is going to summer school. It is really fun. Read it!!
