A Wrinkle in Time ****

by Madeline L'Engle

The story.

A Wrinkle in Time is about three children, Meg and Charles Wallace Murry and Calvin O’Keefe, who go on a mission to save the Murry’s father. Three beings in the form of three women help the children go find the Murry’s father, using time travel, on a distant planet and they help fight an evil called IT that takes over people's minds and free agency, and individuality. Sounds familiar?

My thoughts.

Quite an enjoyable fast read with a great story and lots of adventure...the novel has several underlying themes: a quest for unknown places; the never ending battle of good and evil; the desire to be accepted regardless of looks, personality, or family; the need for love; the power of love to heal and encourage; the courage to risk everything when it becomes necessary; the interconnectedness of all creatures; and the desire to discover what else is out there in the universe.

Great for 12 and up.

This is a different verion of the fairy tale East was based on. I love the story. I enjoyed this book but I liked Eddith Pattou's version better.

Une differente version de la meme histoire qu'East. J'aime beaucoup l'histoire. J'ai donc aimer ce livre mais je prefere la version d'Eddith Pattou.

Book of a thousand days*****

By Sannon Hales
This is the 1st book I read from this author and definitely not the last! I am now a big Fan of Shannon! And can't wait to read more of her books! Shannon Hale has such a gift with words and description.
The main character in this book, Dashti, is one of the strongest, most likable voices I've ever read. She invites you right into her world, and I wanted to hear more and more of her story.
I LOVED the relationship between Dashti and Tegas. It was so genuine and sweet - so true to the nature of love.
I can't praise this story enough!! A must read!

Le 1er livre que je lis de cet auteur et certainement pas le dernier! Je suis maintenant une Fan de Shannon! J'ai hate de lire plus de ses livres.S hannon a une facon unique avec ses mots et ses descriptions.
Le personage principale de ce livre, Dashti, est une des plus forte, et plus agreable voix que j'ai pus lire. Elle nous invite dans sont monde, que je ne voulais pas quiter!
J'ai aime la relation entre Dashti et Tegas. C'etait si beau et simple, si proche de la nature d'un amour complet. A lire absolument!

East*****

By Edith Pattou

I read this book in 3 days! An Absolute favorite! It has everything I love: adventure, love, magic, great characters, and a pretty swiftly moving plot... I actually loved how we are told the story from 5 different people. You get a glimpse into the main characters thoughts. It has a 'Beauty and the Beast' feel to it, but with more adventure and twists. Truly I was enchanted! LOVED IT!

J'ai lu ce livre en 3 jours! Il a tout ce que j'aime: amour, adventure, magie, une histoire qui bouge, des personages avec caracter ... J'ai bein aimer qu'Edith racconte l'histoire vu a travers 5 caracters different. L'histoire a un air familier de 'la Belle et la bete' mais avec beaucoup plus d'aventure et de surprises. J'etais vraiement enchantee... J'ai adore!

The Blue Sword***

By Robin McKinley

This book was a slow stater but once into it I enjoyed it. I liked the people, the places, the magic, the adventure... There was a little too much description for my taste, but still manageable, I did do some skimming...
A great story that resembles the stories of Tolken.

Ce livre etait un peu lant a demarrer, mais une foi que j'etais bien dans l'histoire, j'ai bien aime. J'ai aime L'heroine, le gens, l'endroit, la magie, et l'aventure. Il y avait des passsages avec un peu trop de description pour mon goux.
Une bonne histoire qui ressemble beaucoup a Tolken.

Beauty****

A retelling of Beauty and the Beast
By Robert McKinley

Of all the princesses, Beauty is my favorite one! Snow White is too naive, Ariel sells her soul, Cinderella lets others boss her around, Sleeping beauty just sleeps and waits to be rescued... But Beauty, she has a heart that can see past appearances. She has a sens of adventure. She sacrifices her life for her family. She learns to love the unlovable. And she LOVES to READ! A woman after my own heart!
I really enjoyed this retelling of this story.

De toutes les princess, Belle est ma favorite! Blanche Neige et trop naive, Ariel vend son ame, Cendrillon se laisse marcher dessus et la belle au Bois Dormant ne fait que dormir et attend qu'on la sauve... Mais Belle, elle a un coeur qui peux voire plus loin que l'apparence exterieur. Elle aime l'aventure. Elle sacrifie sa vie pour sa famille. Elle apprend a aimer ceux qui sont difficile a aimer. Et elle AIME LIRE!
J'ai beaucoup aimer ce compt.

Briar Rose by Jane Yoles ****

A wonderful blend of history and fairy tale....
Very unique take on the holocaust. A story like none I've ever read before, and beautifully written. Jane Yolen does a wonderful job of recreating a fairy tale through this holocaust story of a granddaughter fulfilling her promise to her grandmother. Some tenacious detective work finally reveals the grandmother's story.


Un beau melange de compte de fee et d'histoire...
Sur le holocost. Une histoire comme j'ai jamais lu auparavant, tres bien ecrit! Jane Yolen est tres douee a recreer un compte de fee a travers l'histoire d'un petite fille qui veux garder sa promesse a sa grandmere. Un travaille de detective finalement decouvre l'histoire de la grandmere.
