A very different story is being told here and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
JENELYN'S JOURNEY: THE WEREWOLF OF WITTLICH is the first book in the Jenelyn's Journey series and we start off in L.A. with Jenelyn and her parents. Because she is now eighteen, she must start her Journey, following where the Spirits lead. She will start her Journey in Germany, the starting point changing for each person but following as tradition dictates. Luckily for Jenelyn, a German couple who helped her mother on her own Journey, have agreed to let Jenelyn stay with them.

I loved the changes in German and American cultures and traditions, as seen through Jenelyn's eyes. She had a wide-eyed wonder about the architecture, places, and people that I thoroughly enjoyed. She was both naive and street-smart which worked for her. She makes friends and has great relationships with various people in her life, which just makes the goodbyes so much harder! Gretchen and Laszlo were brilliant characters with their own secrets but always supportive of Jenelyn.

I would say this book was a bit heavier on the mystery side than the Spirits. There wasn't as much on the supernatural side as I was expecting, but I still found it interesting, especially with how it all tied together. The book is immersive in Germany, so I expect the same will happen in the next book - I won't say where she's off to next so I don't spoil it for anyone.

A very different story is being told here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommended by me.

This fantastic book follows the journey of a girl and her desire to discover the secrets of a ancient robot. Well written, the driving plot makes it impossible to put down while the format has you craving for even more answers.

M.S. is not often a topic in a book. Griffith made M.S. the antagonist is an artful way. She takes you on the ride with Maya of her ups and downs. The journey through the stages of grief was amazing and subtle. You felt what the character felt.

A stunningly breathtaking movie, that takes you on an amazing journey. I was lucky to see this in 3D, as I feel some of the magic would be lost in the 2D version. So lovely to see justice paid to such a beautiful book.

5 out of 5 glorious stars, I absolutely loved this book and the bit of quirk that made it unique. Laura and Austin were just adorable yet lost and finding eachother together and being on somewhat the same journey was just awesome! I 100% recommend this book ... 100%
