Monday's Riddle: A Sparkly At Best...

Lizzy's Review: A Plane Full of Babies?
Jonah has always known he was adopted, and
his parents have told him what a special day it was when he came into their
lives. But when Jonah starts receiving mysterious letters saying he's one
of the missing and someone is coming for him, he begins to worry. Is
someone looking for him because they gave him up for adoption? He isn’t sure
what the letters mean, but he knows he can’t tell his parents about them. When Johan
finds out his new neighbor, Chip, was also adopted and that he has been getting
the same letters things become a whole lot weirder. Jonah’s sister, Katherine,
is right on top of it and can't wait to help crack this mystery. A family trip
to the local FBI office leads to some unique events and more questions. A list
of witnesses and survivors is discovered and the kids
don't know what it could possibly mean. As they begin to investigate things
become very dangerous. One of the witnesses reveals that Chip and Jonah were found
thirteen years earlier on a plane, only the plane had no pilot and was only
full of babies. Now, people are looking for Jonah and Chip. Who is trying to
find them? Does this have anything to do
with the babies on the plane? Will anyone help them? You will be just as
anxious as Chip and Jonah to figure out what is going on!
Has anyone else read Found? Or have you read another book by Margaret Peterson Haddix?
We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Reading!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...
Ben and Will are twins who get into a
lot of trouble together. This is disappointing to their father, the baron,
and their mother, the baroness. When they nearly burn down the map room it sends
their parents over the edge, and they come up with a plan to split the boys up. Will
is going to live with his uncle in the Crags, while Ben is to stay at home at
the castle. The two tricksters decide that plan doesn’t work and they switch places.
No one is the wiser until it's too late. Unfortunately, this allows Ben to
hear his father say some not so nice things about him because he thinks he's
talking to Will. Ben stews about it until he gets to the Crags. Once there, his
uncle is not very friendly and the place is just as dark and gloomy as he remembered. Luckily, his aunt is kind to him. But nothing is as exciting as the secret
stairwell he finds with a mysterious mirror. It's clear the mirror holds
special magic, and it tells Ben things about his twin brother.
Should Ben listen to what the mirror says? Will it help him get
the power he deserves? What will happen when Will visits? You don't
have a magic mirror, so you’ll be turning the pages like I was!
I was very excited to read The Mirror’s Tale by P.W. Catanese. I
enjoy fairytales and twists on them are usually a lot of fun. I knew the story
of Snow White, so I was curious to
read about her great-great grandchildren. Ben and Will’s characters were
developed in a way that I liked them both and felt sorry for them for
different reasons. The mirror really worried me! This book was definitely a page turner, and I would recommend it to kids in fourth grade and up who enjoy fantasy stories. The twist on Snow White will appeal to boys and
girls. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
Has anyone else read The Mirror’s Tale? Or have you read
another book by P.W. Catanese? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
