This is about a girl that moves often because of the dad job. She doe not like having to move from one city to the next and leaving her friend and missing school, just after getting settled in a city.

This diary starts out in Washington DC, it set in Washington DC until they move to Hawaii. The rest of the book is about her getting use to Oahu, Hawaii her new home. In the book she experiences the attack on Pearl Harbor. Her brother Andy and Amber see Japanese Plane flying over Early Sunday Morning. Amber does make a friend name Kame.

The book tell you about the history of the Attack on Pearl Harbor though the young girl in the story. This is another book in the series of Dear America. It based on the real thing. If you enjoy History, this is good book along with it good for young reader and Children.
  
The first thing I would say about this book is that it is a slow burner. For probably the first third of the book, you are wondering about whether to carry on or not (the first time you read it at least!) but if you can stick with it, it does become worth your while.

The history and mythology that GGK has put into the Fionavar Tapestry are things that dreams are made of - certainly for every Fantasy fan.

One of the common complaints about this book seems to be that the five friends adjust too well to their 'new' world. My reply is that it's amazing how normal things can seem to be when you're with friends :o)

This book is an excellent introduction to the series and also sets the second book up very nicely.

This trilogy, along with Tigana by the same author, firmly remains on my Favourites shelf!

I don't even know where to start. I decided to read this series once coming across the best TV show ever based on the books and I just HAD to start from the beginning which is from this very first book. I couldn't put the book down and honestly read it within a day. This was the first book to a long way of books where I took books seriously and didn't have the urge to throw them away afterwards or shove them into a damp, dark place. I placed it neatly on a shelf. Already ready to buy the next one since I'm never one to like cliffhangers or not having more to the story. I'm a collector and once I like something. I become obsessed. I definitely recommend this book if you like the mysteries of a world that you hope exists and something written on a place that I myself actually dreamed of being in whether or not its in a book.

roth.....omg (0 more)
so i have to admit i looooove this book i always root for the bad guys so no surprise that roth was my fave character throughout this whole book and the ending omg i cried . found layla to be a bit of a whinny immature lil thing but she wasn't bad as some characters iv come across but being brought up with gargoyles and demons and going demon tagging i wanted to be a bit tougher than she was. zayne uh what a sweat heart but roth uuuuuuugh hes an arshole you cant help but love. this book had me gripped. the action. tho steamy romance. the suspense and and the unfolding of the whole story line i just love it took me 8 hrs to get through (i also have children to look after in between reading so that shows how into this book i was) im so looking forward to the second book in this series

If you've seen the 1985 movie Return to Oz you will no doubt recognise elements of this book. While the Gump and Pumpkin Head were pulled from The Marvelous Land of Oz (the previous Oz book.) Pretty much the rest of the movie was taken from this book.


Ozma of Oz configure the perfectly peculiar style from the first two. As I suspected would be the case, also starts to tie loose ends together from the previous works so it definitely starts feeling like the series is one cohesive whole. Because so much of it was familiar from the movie it's hard for me to evaluate the book on its own merits. This is diffent from other adaptations because it wasn't a diet adaptation, so it's impossible to say "Movie did X better while book did Y better." and unlike WWoO the story isn't an institution.

Ultimately it was an enjoyable entry.

So this month I’ve read 18 books and DNFd 4!

This month has been a strange mix for me I’ve never DNFd so many books in one month! But I don’t see the point in continuing a book I am not enjoying or is just badly put together when I could be reading one I will enjoy.

My favourite was The Reclamation by Ivy Asher it was a series up until this book that just needed a kick and this book delivered it!
I also really enjoyed When you Disappeared by John Marrs it was a good read!

My worst book was Night Circus I so fell into the hype around this book but it was such a let down I only continued with it for a challenge!

Overall it’s been a okish month for reading I do have some really interesting books coming up for October!

My favourite book of the month is Awaken by G.R. Thomas this is the second book of hers that have been my book of the month! This author is becoming one of my favourites. This book was so intriguing and different.

Also Heartless by Nicola Claire this was the last I. This series and I’ve really enjoyed it.

My least favourite is Heart of a Warrior by Lali A Love I just didn’t get it.

My DNFS were not as high this month I just couldn’t get on with so many and I’m a great believer in not reading something just for the sake of it.

Book of the Month Awaken by G.R. Thomas
