I am so ashamed/The Riverman by Aaron Starmer MMGM

I am so ashamed.

I haven't blogged in, like, 5 months.

Well.

I have been Busy with a capitol B lately. But I will start blogging again.

Okey dokey! Time for some MMGM!!

The Riverman

Goodreads says:


Fiona Loomis is Alice, back from Wonderland. She is Lucy, returned from Narnia. She is Coraline, home from the Other World. She is the girl we read about in storybooks, but here's the difference: She is real.
  Twelve-year-old Alistair Cleary is her neighbor in a town where everyone knows each other. One afternoon, Fiona shows up at Alistair's doorstep with a strange proposition. She wants him to write her biography. What begins as an odd vanity project gradually turns into a frightening glimpse into a clearly troubled mind. For Fiona tells Alistair a secret. In her basement there's a gateway and it leads to the magical world of Aquavania, the place where stories are born. In Aquavania, there's a creature called the Riverman and he's stealing the souls of children. Fiona's soul could be next.

Alistair has a choice. He can believe her, or he can believe something else...something even more terrifying.

My review:


I am going to be flat-out honest with you here.

THIS BOOK IS CRAZY GOOD!

I am honestly so surprised it is not as known as it should be! Forget  Hunger Games, forget The Giver! This book is amazing! *deep breath* Ok, serious time now.

Aaron Starmer is a genius! A master with words! He creates this magical land (Aquavania) and turns it into something truly amazing. The characters are so vivid, so lifelike! I just wanted to jump right into the book at live it all. Why? Because I could! Because I could imagine it and feel it and take the plot and grasp it! This is, hands down, my favorite book ever. And it is a trilogy, and the next book, The Whisper,  is out, so I will read that as soon as I can get my hands on it. Long story short, this book will inspire you and pull on your heart strings in a way you have never imagined. This book is not only a good amazing book, but is a inspiration in 320 pages. I highly highly highly recommend The Riverman.


Well, that's that! I sincerely apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes. Hope you enjoyed my review and byeeeeeeeeeeeee
:D

I am so ashamed...../ Seed Savers MMGM

Um... Hi! I haven't blogged in.... about 3 months. I have been so busy and I just wanna apologize for that..... my mistake. I have read many books in this time, but the one I really want to feature is Seed Savers by S. Smith.

Here is Goodread's plot description:

Two kids, two bikes, and an idea they can change their world.
It’s 2077. There’s no apocalypse, but some things are different. Things like the weather, the internet, and food. In twelve-year-old Clare’s world, blueberry is just a flavor and apples are found only in fairy tales.
Then one day Clare meets an old woman who teaches her about seeds and real food. The woman (Ana) tempts Clare with the notion that food exists other than the square, processed, packaged food she has always known. Under Ana’s tutelage, Clare and her friends learn about seeds and gardening despite suspicions that such actions are illegal. When the authorities discover the children’s forbidden tomato plant and arrest their mother, Clare and her brother flee. Clare has heard of a place called "The Garden State," and with their bikes, a little money, and backpacks, the children begin a lonely cross-country journey that tests them both physically and spiritually. Will they succeed in their quest to find a place of food freedom?  And can they, only children, help change the world? Treasure is a gentle dystopian, frightening only is the possibility that we may not be far from the future it paints. 

My review: 

Wow. As a fan of veggies, fruits and all things natural, this book was definitely a shocker- in a good way. The characters- Claire, Ana and Dante being the main ones, are very well described and vivid. 

I liked how S. Smith made the future very realistic. Many things were the same, which is a nice break from the usual post-apocalyptic future found in most books. 

I guess the only cons for me are that it was either way to mellow and nothing was happening, or everything was happening and you couldn't make sense of anything. There was hardly ever that perfect medium.


I hate myself for posting such a short review..... But I am so busy currently. 

Quick quick quick review of Pi in the Sky by Wendy Mass

So like I have said a couple trillion times, I'm super super busy. Like, hardly any time to breathe busy. But I did read Pi in the Sky, so I'm going to do a super quick review of it. I's blogging time!!

Goodreads says:                                                                       

Joss is the seventh son of the Supreme Overlord of the Universe. His older brothers help his dad rule the cosmos, but all Joss gets to do is deliver pies. That's right: pies. Of course, these pies actually hold the secrets of the universe between their buttery crusts, but they're still pies.
Joss is happy to let his older brothers shine. He has plenty to keep his hands full: attempting to improve his bowling score; listening to his best friend, Kal, try (and fail) to play the drums; and exploring his ever-changing home, The Realms. But when Earth suddenly disappears, Joss is tasked with the seemingly impossible job of bringing it back. With the help of Annika, an outspoken girl from Earth, he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime...and learns that the universe is an even stranger place than he'd imagined.

I say: 

Well, Wendy Mass is one of my favorite authors, but I did not think this was her best! It was a overall good book, but some parts kind of bored me to death! Sometimes, there was to much details, or he details were not clear or no details at all (which, by the way, totally kills a book in my opinion). So in all, I would give this book 4 stars for the good plot, and humor. 

So I am *so* sorry I can't blog anymore. I have *so* much stuff to do. As you can see I *really* like using the little asterisks now. It's fun! Anyway, I gotta go. Please check out my blog often and tell your friends! And sorry for the grammar issues or typos (if any). I don't have time right now to spell or grammar check!
