Dragon Dreams
Royal Princess Academy #1
by Laura Joy Rennert

New York : Dial Books for Young Readers, c2012.
103 pages. Intermediate Chapter Book.

Princess Emma hails from a long line of perfect princesses, Snow White was her great-great-grandmother, Beauty is her grandmother and of course her mother is The Queen. She is finally attending the Royal Princess Academy, following in their perfect footsteps. Princess Emma is not your typical frilly pink and proper princess. She likes to kick a soccer ball and dream of dragons rather than improve her royal skills. She especially dislikes Princess Posture class, she would "rather read a book than wear it"! Her unique princess style comes in handy when she has to save her classmates in the annual Princess Contest. And again when on a field trip she helps figure out why all the dragons are ill. Her best friend Rapunzel has always known what a great person she is, now everyone else knows too!
Young princesses everywhere will enjoy reading about Princess Emma who really is a lot like them!

If there's one book today's kids need to read, it is Dude, That's Rude! (Get Some Manners) . The authors provide a fun format for teaching etiquette to children. They discuss proper behavior at home, at school, at other people's homes and in public places. The information is completely up-to-date with cellphone manners and netiquette included. Fun, cartoony illustrations are on practically every page giving the book great visual appeal. This book is perfect for boys and girls in the fourth grade or older.

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin

By loo
Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin Illustrated by Leslie Evans Charlesburg; 2009; unpaged Faces of the Moon is a short nonfiction book that describes the different phases of the moon and why the moon appears like it does on certain nights. This book is short and sweet so even the youngest of moon lovers will enjoy it. The layout is simplistic and easy to follow. I don’t know much about the moon so I found it very interesting.

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester 2008

By Anonymous
J Fiction 328 pages I almost didn't finish this book. I got to Chapter 4, and was just about ready to quit (a kind of slow story about a girl, name of Piper McCloud, who discovers she can fly, parents freak out, she becomes a social outcast, yadda, yadda) but suddenly, right there in Chapter 4, the story takes a sharp turn and becomes really interesting . Piper finds herself in the company of others like her, but not "fliers", and under the care and authority of Dr. Hellion. I won't even tell you any more. Read this book. Forester does a great job of keeping you wondering who's the good guy and who's the bad? Piper is a likeable, strong, endearing character that girl readers will enjoy. But don't NOT give it to boys! The main male character is an extremely intelligent young man who is one of the ones you wonder about . . . good or bad? This is a good one, well worth your time.
