Cleopatra VII: Daughter of the Nile - 57 B.C.
AuthorKristiana Gregory
Disclaimer: The last time I read this book was in middle school, so my review will be spotty and more nostalgic than any review should be. Oh well.

I avidly read the Royal Diaries series during my middle school years. Like most young girls, I was fascinated with princesses and--maybe not so much...

The Ogre of Oglefort
AuthorEva Ibbotson
ISBN0230746470
So, it seems that my first Eva Ibbotson is her last, which is very sad, because this book was great.

I loved the characters, and the story, and the randomness, and the fact that it's a children's book in which a little boy in it actually contemplated (and thankfully rejected!) murder. When do you...
