If you liked Harry Potter...


After eyeing it on the shelf for over a year, I finally read Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo. Fans of Harry Potter are sure to like this one. Charlie is a ten year old boy who discovers that he has the ability to hear the voices of people in photographs. Charlie and his friends try to find a girl who has been missing for years. The book is full of mystery, suspense, and magic. If you read it, be sure to let me know your thoughts. Would you like to read more of this series?

Dragon of Doom





Dragon of Doom is the first book in Bruce Coville's fun-to-read Moongobble and Me series. Moongobble is a magician who has big trouble with his spells. Edward is the neighbor boy who works as his apprentice. Together, they face the fearsome Dragon of Doom. This series has the feel of Harry Potter, but it is written for younger readers. I'm a big fan, and I think there will be many others who love this series as word spreads.
