I have been waiting to read this one ever since I read part one, Lobizona. Part 2 did not disappoint! Again this book takes you into a fantasy world where there are humans and the unknown world of Werewolves and Witches. The main character is not like the others. She is a hybrid of human and werewolf. What sets her apart further is that she is the only known female to ever be born a werewolf. The story weaves the struggles of being an illegal in the human world and an illegal in the Septimo world. Her character has not found her pack/family in either. She has to hide in the human world with her human mother and still in the Septimo world she remains hidden because she is a hybrid. She finally finds her place amongst a group of friends and Covenant that are trying to make change in their world. As their catalyst she tells her truth, but is it worth the price she will have to pay? This is written in a Spanish-Harry Potter-esc kind of way that had me fully engaged the whole way through! I know by the author's interviews that this was written as only a two book story, but I really feel there could be a third book as there is still more to the story that I long to know.

Another young adult genre read. This one was personally driven by my love of poet, Pablo Neruda. I loved the author's interpretation of what his childhood was like (with creative liberties of course). It seems he had a very stereotypical Hispanic upbringing, where he needed to be more of a man's man, and not a writer, dreamer and collector. Seeing how he breaks the mold of what is expected of him and becoming who he is destined to be is heartwarming.

The Throne of Glass series is one that will immediately become one of your favorites. It is a series that everyone recommends. After reading Throne of Glass you will want to read all the other books by Sarah J. Maas because of the creativity, magic, danger, and emotion that she puts into the books.

This book is very funny. It is about a unicorn and a girl who have adventures together. In this particular book it talks about going to music camp and about the summer and how it went for the girl and the unicorn.

Muy lindo!!

Didn’t get it at first, but we love it now! Honestly, I didn’t fully get the message the first time—but it grew on us quickly! Please, Mr. Panda is simple, funny, and perfect for teaching manners. My twin babies love the big panda and the cute animals. A fun and memorable way to say “please”!

We love this book.

Wonderful way to teach feelings through colors and fun! The Color Monster is perfect for helping toddlers understand emotions in a simple, visual way. My toddler loves monsters, so this book really clicked! We even drew our own monsters and colored them based on different feelings—it turned into a fun craft and learning activity. It’s also been great for early writing practice—my child enjoyed labeling feelings like happy, sad, and angry. A creative, engaging way to build emotional awareness and writing skills!
