Favorite Books
2. “Coraline” ... Paired with the beautiful
animation style, the complex storyline and
three-dimensional characters pull you into
the movie. The animation really lets the
colors and shapes tell stories. As Coraline
Jones moves and then deals with her
parents’ full-time jobs, she discovers some
things about her new home and neighbors.
While doing so, she finds an idealistic
version of her life, everyone has time for
her, she gets everything that she wants,
and everything is perfect .... or is it?
1. “Rose” by Holly Webb. The whole
Rose series by Holly Webb has a nice
atmosphere, and is a creative interpretation
of the gifted protagonist trope. It shows the
struggle of a young orphan named Rose
who is gifted with magic. She has just been
hired into service at a grand estate and
wishes to reject her gift and be as normal
as possible now that her life is finally falling
into place, but will she be able to? With
interesting characters and nice writing
these books make it into my favorites for
children and teens.
2. “13 Treasures” by Michelle Harrison.
The 13 Treasures trilogy is a very creative
take on fairies for teens and young adults.
Showing that fairies aren’t always helpful,
painting them in a sinister light, and
showing one girl’s struggle with being able
to see and understand them. Her mother
doesn’t understand and sends her away to
her grandmother’s house in a town full of
fairies, mysteries, and disappearances.
3. “Labyrinth Lost” by Zoraida Cordova. In a
family of Brujas Alex doesn’t want to accept
her powers, so at her Deathly celebration
she tries to sabotage things but things take
a turn for the worse and she has to enlist
the help of a Brujo that she doesn’t trust.
Will her family take her back, will she be
able to save them.
Favorite Movies
Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way
that each row across, each column down, and
each small nine-box square contains all of the
numbers from one to nine.
1. “The Secret of Kells” (2009 French-
Belgian-Irish animated fantasy film).
A young boy’s struggle with life, curiosity,
and adventure. As he explores and learns
against his uncle’s wishes, an army
3. “The Princess and the Frog” ... Tiana is
trying her best to make her dreams come
true. She doesn’t have time for fairy tales
or true love. But as she will find out, magic
is a little more real then she thought, and
maybe love, too.

Favorite Books
1. “Fallout” by Todd Strasser. I like this
book because of how it is based off of real
stories, how they did the chapters, and
because it was very descriptive.
2. “Diary of a Minecraft Zombie” series by
Zack Zombie. I like this series because it
is related to Minecraft and the books are
short reads.
Favorite Television Series
“My Hero Academia.” I like this series
because it is very intriguing and interesting.
Favorite Movie
“Next Gen” (2018 computer-animated
science fiction action film). I like this movie
because it is set in a futuristic area, and it is
just fun.
