Fablehaven

So this series has become as beloved as Harry Potter in our home. I have been reading it to my six year old for the past 6 months. (that's about how long it takes to read to my six year old at 5 pages a night) This series is about a boy and girl who go to visit their grandparents. Once they arrive they discover their grandparents are the caretakers of a magic preserve with all types of creatures. They work with their grandparents to save the preserve and the world from the release of the demon prison. Each book is a new adventure that bulids into the main 5 novel story.
I have loved this series it is pretty clean, we edit some of the deaths. But for the most part is wonderful.

Second Hand Charm

This is a darling children's story. It is a fairy tale, but a new one. It is very original and refreshing. There are princesses, sea serpents, dangerous events, while still keeping it child friendly. I liked that this author did not just take a spin off of an old fairy tale. The story is completely new, and easy to read. I hear that this book is not as good as her first book (which I just got.) So read this one first then you will like it. I would say 6 and up would enjoy this story.

Devoured

This is another play off of a fairy tell. This time it is snow white. It was a very interesting idea, but a darker story than most fairy tale remakes. This starts with a girl in modern day that sees her sisters ghost. She starts working at an Fairy tale amusement park to be with her boyfriend. When her sisters ghost goes crazy. She has to find out what her sister is trying to tell her, while dealing with boy problems. Doesn't sound much like Snow White I know, but if I tell you how it ties in it may spoil the story. I put it on my alright list. Not for kids under 16. Multiple references to sleeping with the boyfriend and 2 F words. Kind of sad they had to put that in there. Also it is a little on the creepy side.

Forgive my fins

This was a cute teenage version of the little mermaid in modern day. It took me a little be to get into it, but once I did I read it pretty quick. It is clean and pretty cute. The high school Drama was a little much for me. But all in all I liked it.

Beastly

So I thought I had added this but it looks like a missed a few books here and there. This is a really cute modern day version of Beauty and the Beast. How do you make this story modern? Well you just turn a punk gorgeous rich kid into a beast. Pretty far fetched but a very cute story. If you are in the mood for a fairy tail I highly recommended it. The weirdest part of the book is the internet chat group it starts with. If you think it is stupid (like I did) skip over the odd text it adds very little to the actual story. Also this book is now a major motion picture. I haven't seen it yet but I plan it.

River Secerts

While I loved the first two in this series I could have passed on this one. Just not very action packed. It seems like the characters from the first two books were hardly mentioned, and just when the book seems like it may take of and get exciting it ends. So if you are dieing for more it is an OK book, but if you are short on time find something else.

Enna Burning

This book is the second in the Goose Girl Series. And I have to say I loved it! Not quite as much as The Goose Girl, but still a surprisingly good sequel. The main character is from The Goose Girls, who comes into her own power of fire. If you have read goose girl this is a must read!

The Goose Girl

This is a classic children's fairy tale. Disney should really pick this up as their next princess in my opinion. While I love this book it does have it's slow part. Press on it just gets better and better. I totally recommend this one, and it is good from age 8 and up. Just wait Disney will find it some day

Princess of Glass

This book I thought was darling. A little on the slower side, but a really cute take on the classic story of Cinderella. This one is appropriate for 9 year old and up. It is the second book to "Princess of the Midnight ball." Which does not necessarily have to be read first. The author is very descriptive, and very creative.
