The Tail of Emily Windsnap By Liz Kessler
So as you can tell by the title, things in this book may get a little 'fishy'. So overall this book was good, and a great (and friendly) book. Although the author just 'dove' into the story and didn't really develop the characters more (in my opinion) you can relate to them. As you may have already guessed (or still guessing) this book is all about the ocean and Emily, a girl who deiscovers she is half mermaid. If you guys are all ready thinking 'Its not worth reading' think again. the plot of the story thickens as she takes risks and discovers new things.
I would recommend this book to really anyone who wants a fun and easy read. (ages;10+)
I will be offline (unable to blog) all next week) so I will post about another book in 2 weeks.

The Fire Within
The Fire Within by Chris D'Lacey
So let me start out by saying that this was my second time reading this book, and I still think it is amazing!! Chris D'Lacey writes really good. This writing and characters draw you into the story-line and it makes you cling to the book and not put it down. He brings the characters alive by giving each of them a different personality, and lets them create themselves.Here is a brief summary of the story: David, a college boy, becomes a tenant in the house of the Liz, and Lucy, they open a whole new world to David. Dragons come to life and as trouble brews in nature, David and his special dragon must help find a way to save an injured squirrel. *End of summary*
So overall it was a really great book, even though it was m second time reading it. I would recommend this book to basically anyone who loves a good adventure and suspense.
Comment down below if you have read, or plan to read this book. And when you finish it tell me what you thought about it! Thanks for reading this post.
*NOTE* I will gone for a week so I will be able to post again next Saturday (7/18/15).

Pegasus Books by Kate O'Hearn
Hey Guys! So I just finished reading the 2nd book of the Pegasus books (Pegasus: Olympus at War) by Kate O'Hearn. I will tell you a breif summary of both books, inculding why I liked these first 2 books in the series so far.
**SPOILERS AHEAD**
Book #1
Pegasus: The Flame of Olympus
Olympus is an mythical Greek legend that holds all Olympians. Emily, an ordinary girl from New York City, doesn't believe in myths, certainly not Olympus, but that all changes when Pegasus lands on top of Emily's building, because of injuries that brought him down. Emily goes on an amazing journey with Pegasus, Joel, Diana, and her father to find a girl who is the Flame of Olympus to save Olympus from the invaders who are destroying it. Along the way she and her friends become captured by the CRU and are tortured for information. After escaping they final arrive at Olympus to save it.
Book #2
Pegasus: Olympus at War
Upon becoming the Flame of Olympus, Emily struggles to control her powers coming from within. Frustrated about not being able to have rescued her father from the CRU in the previous book she decides to go rescue him. Along the way a hide away Olympian causes trouble and yet manages to help them pull through. Battles are fought, kidnappings take place, and the life of Jupiter at stake, makes this story exciting. It all all works out in the end. (I will post a separate post for the second book later)
Summary of both stories:
I liked this book because of the authors writing style. Kate O'Hearn draws in readers by using suspense and creating memorable characters that will steal your heart and mind. These characters will grow on you and leave you wanting more!! Overall I thought these two books were amazing! The creativity of the books just blows me away. I would seriously recommend this series to anyone! Especially anyone you read the Percy Jackson series and loved it!
