Ivy doesn't trust the Dragonslayer. He may be her father and the beloved ruler of Valor, but she knows he's hiding more than the treasure from the sand dragon he killed two decades ago. Leaf doesn't trust dragons. They're the reason his favorite sister, Wren, is dead, and now he'll do whatever it takes to slay even one. Wren doesn't trust anyone. She swore off humans after her village tried to sacrifice her to the dragons. She only has one friend, a small, wonderful mountain dragon named Sky, and they don't need anyone else. In a world of dragons, the humans who scramble around underfoot are easy to overlook. But Ivy, Leaf, and Wren will each cross paths with dragons in ways that could shape the destiny of both species. Is a new future possible for all of them . . . one in which humans can look to the skies with hope instead of fear?

Really great book! Hooked me like my dog's hair on my sweater! Full of action! Could use more mean dragons, but still amazing! In some parts the story gets a bit cheesy, but the adventure is awesome!  

I definitely recommend it! I would give it 4 and a quarter stars out of 5. 

]]> 2020-05-13 20:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dbeck18/Bookmarks/wish/571178171 Wishtree -winning author of the one and only Ivan Katherine Applegate https://padlet.com/dbeck18/Bookmarks/wish/573375924 Trees cannot tell jokes but they can tell stories...............
Red is an oak tree who is many rings old! Red is the neighborhood  "whishtree"-people write there wishes tie them on Reds branches and all wish for something better. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Reds hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood.
You might say Red has seen it all. 
Until the new family moves in. Not everyone is wecloming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever. 
Funny, deep, warm, and nuanced, this is Katherine applegate at her very best- writing from the heart, and from a completely unexpected point of view.  ]]> 2020-05-14 17:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dbeck18/Bookmarks/wish/573375924 Wings of Fire - Legends - Darkstalker (report by Jesse Richter) https://padlet.com/dbeck18/Bookmarks/wish/589380632 Three dragons. One unavoidable, unpredictable destiny. This is the beginning . . . of the end. In the SeaWing kingdom, a young prince learns he is an animus — capable of wonderful magic that comes with a terrible price. In the mind of a NightWing dragonet, a thousand futures unfold — and almost all of them, she knows, lead to disaster and destruction. And under three full moons and the watchful eyes of his NightWing mother and IceWing father, the most powerful dragon Pyrrhia will ever know is clawing his way out of his egg: Darkstalker, the dragon who will change the world forever. Long before the SandWing war, lifetimes before the Dragonet Prophecy . . . darkness is born.

Another awesome book! Same hooking style! Loved it from the begining! This one hardly ever gets cheesy! It really helps you understand what really happened way back when Darkstalker was not trapped under the mountain, and about the war the NightWings, and the IceWings had that took place in those ancient times.

I totally recommend it! I would give it 4 and a half stars out of 5.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and once girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weight survival against humanity and life against love.

Another book in my favourite collection! Full of twists, non-stop action, and surprising cliff hangers. Suzanne Collins has a awesome imaginative mind for this book, for it happens to take place in futuristic events that very are very well thought of. This is a good book for people seeking characters who are desperately trying to survive in tough situations. I don't drift off with this book!

My review: 4.25 stars out of 5.        ]]> 2020-06-05 20:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dbeck18/Bookmarks/wish/613640420
