Publication year: 2013

Genres: fiction, fantasy, adventure, mystery

Blurb: When a mysterious parcel arrives at her family’s new home, 11-year-old Lin Rosenquist has a curious feeling she’s meant to discover what’s inside. Much to Lin’s surprise, the ornate key contained in the parcel unlocks a spellbinding world called Sylver, hidden behind the cellar door. Sylver is an enchanting land of eternal winter, inhabited by animals that shared a special connection with children in the real world, either as beloved pets or tamed wild animals. In death, they are delivered to Sylver, where they take on a curiously human-like form and still watch over the children they cherish. While Lin is overjoyed to be reunited with her beloved pet Rufus, she soon learns that the magic of the Petlings and Wilders is failing, and snow trolls want to claim Sylver for themselves. Lin must discover a way to stop them and save this enchanted world.

This 2 book series about these kids traveling into the past through paintings or something, Saint Anything, Fablehaven, Keeper of the Lost cities, Inkheart trilogy, The invisible Man, The Dreadful Take of Prosper Redding, My Diary from the Edge of the World, The Ministry of Suits, Scarlet and Ivy, Murder is Bad Manners, Mouseheart (only the 1st one), Thornghost, that book about the mouse and the motercycle, The Drake Equation (read this one in a day lol), Ghost Hawk, Knights of the Borrowed Dark, Weregirl, Black Lotus, Takes of the peculiar, Caraval, Percy Jackson series (just the main two), like half of Harry Potter (during the beginning of high school mainly), Moonshiner’s Gold, half of the 1st arc of warrior cats, the first book of rangers apprentice, Haddix the Missing (one of my favorites besides inkheart), The Thief Lord, The Book Thief (also one of my favorites), Entwined, 13 Wishes trilogy, City of Ghosts, Echo, the first two books of The Clockwork Prince, and the outsiders, I think that’s all excluding ones I read in class, give or take a few I read in junior high that I can’t fully remember the names of.

Kinda want to make a list of every book I read, just for fun mainly, at least the fantasy ones. I was a massive fantasy book reader as a kid and I’m pretty sure I read over a hundred by the time I even got to high school. I may do that, if I can remember all of them

Zoe in Wonderland

Author: Brenda Woods

Age range: 8-12

Two-sentence recap: Zoe Reindeer considers herself “just Zoe” - never measuring up to her too-perfect older sister or her smarty-pants little brother.

Circus Mirandus (paperback)
